Ag doped TiO2 nanoparticles with different metallic content (0.0, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2 wt.%) were prepared by using EDTA-Glycol method. For the sake of comparison blank TiO2 sample is also prepared using same method. All the samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). X-ray diffraction technique revealed that Ag-doped TiO2 has anatase structure and as the concentration of Ag increases the particle size will get decreases. The morphologies of TiO2 samples are influenced by doping Ag as shown by SEM images. The present work is mainly focused on the enhancement of photocatalytic reactivity of as synthesized samples by the photodegradation of 4BS under visible light irradiation using a LED lamp of (15 W) as a light source. A 96.3% of photodegradation of 4BS dye was achieved by utilizing 1 gL-1 of Ag-doped TiO2 at pH 6 for 100 min.
