Abstract

Nickel and nitrogen co-modified TiO2, nNi,N-TiO2 (n = 1, 5 and 10 wt% of Ni) nanocomposites were prepared by impregnation of amorphous titanium dioxide with Ni(NO\(_{3})_{2}\cdot \) 5H2O followed by high temperature calcination at 800 ∘C in ammonia atmosphere. Temperature dependence of the FMR/EPR spectra of nNi,N-TiO2 samples in 4–290 K range has been investigated. The FMR spectra of nickel nanoparticle agglomerates were studied by decomposition into three components. Temperature dependence of FMR parameters (resonance field, two types of linewidth, integrated intensity) of components were analyzed to determine their origin. In addition, the EPR spectra of trivalent titanium ions were recorded in the low temperature range. The connection between photocatalytic activity of the investigated nanocomposites and their magnetic properties was discussed.
