Microwave-Assisted Solvothermal Synthesis of Mo-Doped TiO₂ with Exceptional Textural Properties and Superior Adsorption Kinetics.

ABSTRACT: Assigned to their outstanding physicochemical properties, TiO₂-based materials have been studied in various applications. Herein, TiO₂ doped with different Mo contents (Mo-TiO₂) was synthesized via a microwave-assisted solvothermal approach. This was achieved using titanium (IV) butoxide and molybdenum (III) chloride as a precursor and dodecylamine as a surface directing agent. The uniform effective heating delivered by microwave heating reduced the reaction time to less than 30 min, representing several orders of magnitude lower than conventional heating methods. The average particle size ranged between 9.7 and 27.5 nm and it decreased with increasing the Mo content. Furthermore, Mo-TiO₂ revealed mesoporous architectures with a high surface area
