Hydrogenation Influences the Created Giant Dielectric Behaviors of (Bi+W) Codoped Anatase TiO2

Introductions: TiO2 nanoparticles ceramic (NPs) codoped with Bi and W ions have been synthesized by a hydrothermal technique. A portion of the prepared ceramic was posthydrogenated. Ceramic NPs were characterized by traditional methods. Crystalline structures and optical properties were investigated using X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and diffuse reflection spectroscopy, respectively. Methods: The present work has focused on the creation of a colossal (giant) dielectric permittivity (GP) behavior with the TiO2 host NCs through the Bi/W codoping to construct electronic core/shell structures. In addition, the influence of post-hydrogenation on the created GP was also examined. Results: It was found a high permittivity of 3.69×10⁴ at 1 kHz, which was reduced to 3.29×10⁴ by the hydrogenation of the sample. This is attributed to the densification of the itinerant electrons by the effect of the catalytic power of the doping W⁵⁺ ions to dissociate the adsorbed H2. Conclusion: The present values of GP are much higher than the permittivity of the pure TiO2 and the Bi-doped TiO2 ceramic, which was attributed to the construction of core/shell electronics structures. As a result, the doping process has been studied in detail in relation to scientific expectations.
