Several techniques of characterization have been applied: X-ray diffraction (XRD), adsorption-desorption (BET), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and transmission electronicmicroscopy (TEM). The materials were tested as photocatalysts for the reduction of Cr(VI) in presence of a electron donor, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Incorporation of Nd and Yb on TiO2 shift the energy of the band gap toward visible region, these oxides showed anatase phase crystalline and suitable adsorption properties for Cr(VI) and EDTA, resulting in higher photoactivities compared to pure titania and La and Li-dopants."esPhysicsChemistryarticle
