Vanadium/iron co-doped nanoTiO2 transparent hydrosol with an average particle size of 3.8 nm was synthesized by a novel complexation-controlled hydrolysis method at room temperature and atmospheric pressure by using TiCl4, ferric nitrate, ammonium metavanadate, etc. as raw materials. The composition, phase structure, particle size, absorbance spectrum, and photocatalytic performance of samples were characterized by XRD, EDS, nanolaser particle size analyzer, and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The photocatalytic properties of V/Fe doped TiO2 were studied through degrading acid 3R dye, and the results show that when the content of V/Fe was 0.5%, the degradation rate reached more than 96% under irridation for 60 min.
