	abstract = {<p>Two series of samples were prepared namely Cr-Ti/MCM-41 and Cr/SiO2-TiO2 keeping Si/Ti mole ratio same, with different Cr loading. The physico-chemical properties of the samples were characterized by different analytical techniques such as XRD, FTIR, TEM, low temperature N-2 sorption, and UV-vis diffused reflectance spectroscopy. The impregnated TiO2 was in anatase form. The crystallite size was determined from Scherrer equation as well as by TEM. There is a difference between the shapes of nitrogen adsorption isotherms with and without Cr-loaded Ti/MCM-41 samples. The rate of nitrogen adsorption was found to increase with decrease in Cr content at lower P/P-0 for Cr-Ti/MCM-41 samples due to the blocking of the pores with Cr. All MCM-41 samples exhibited pore sizes from 24 nm to 32 nm. UV-vis diffused reflectance spectra of all Cr-loaded samples showed red shift of their absorption edges. Photo degradation of eosin dye was studied using visible light. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Sol-gel route was employed to prepare a series of Sn-containing anatase with different molar (Ti/Sn) ratios ranging from 49 to 1. Samples were characterized by powder XRD, UV-vis, XPS, SEM, EDAX, low temperature N-2 sorption technique and Raman Spectroscopy. Except anatase phase, no other crystalline phase was observed when Ti/Sn molar ratio was varied from 49 to 9 and for Sn free sample. However, further decrease in the ratio lead to the appearance of additional SnO2 phase whose peak intensities were increased with the increase in the tin content. Irrespective of tin content, all samples showed red-shift in UV-vis spectra. Moreover, samples showed Raman shift to higher vibration side from 143 cm(-1) to 147 cm(-1) indicating the doping of Sn2+ into TiO2. By virtue of low band gap, anatase crystallite size and an absence of XRD visible SnO2, ST (19) has shown maximum photocatalytic activity upon 1 wt\% Pt loading. It has exhibited the highest rate (0.1264 mmole/g/h) for visible light induced hydrogen evolution by water splitting. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},
