SnO2-doped anatase type TiO2 powder was prepared by the polymerization complex route from tin(IV) bis (acetylacetonate) dichloride, titanium diisopropoxide bis (acetylacetonate) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a complexing agent. The structural changes of reaction mixture were monitored by fourier transform infarared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The microstructure and morphology of gel powder were studied by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The photocatalytic activity of these powders with the anatase structure was investigated by using indigo carmine solution.

SnO2가 도핑된 아나타제형의 TiO2 분말을 tin (IV) bis (acetylacetonate) dichloride와 titanium diisopropoxide bis (acetyl- acetonate) 를 출발물질로, polyethylene glycol (PEG)을 첨가하여 합성하였다. 반응과정에 대한 구조변화를 FT-IR로 추적하였고, 입자의 모양과 형태 및 결정의 구조는 FE-SEM과 XRD 분석기로 관찰하였다. 합성된 분말의 광촉매 효과는 환경오염물질 로 indigo carmine (IC)을 선택하여 UV-visible 스펙트라로 관찰하였다.
