Titanium dioxide (TiO2) absorbs only a small\ fraction of incoming sunlight in the visible region thus
limiting its photocatalytic efficiency and concomitant\ photocatalytic ability. The large-scale application of TiO2\ nanoparticles has been limited due to the need of using an\ ultraviolet excitation source to achieve high photocatalytic\ activity. The inclusion of foreign chemical elements in the\ TiO2 lattice can tune its band gap resulting in an absorption\ edge red-shifted to lower energies enhancing the photo-
catalytic performance in the visible region of the electro-magnetic spectrum. In this research work, TiO2\ nanoparticles were doped with iron powder in a planetary\ ball-milling system using stainless steel balls. The\ correlation between milling rotation speeds with structural\ and morphologic characteristics, optical and magnetic\ properties, and photocatalytic abilities of bare and Fe-doped TiO2 powders was studied and discussed.
