Facile fabrication and characterization of multi-type carbon-doped TiO2 for visible light-activated photocatalytic mineralization of gaseous toluene

Synthesis of visible light-responsive cobalt-doped TiO2 nanoparticles with tunable optical band gap

“…For this purpose, the visible light response of the TiO 2 needs to be improved. Different strategies have been attempted to improve the visible light response of TiO 2 by doping it with transition metals [15,16], metal ions [17,18], nonmetals [19,20] and organic compounds [21,22]. In most of these studies, the visible response of TiO 2 improves upon doping, but this does not necessarily increases the photocatalytic activity.…”

Optical and Photocatalytic Properties of Carbon-Activated Anatase with Spherical Shape of Aggregates

“…The modification of TiO 2 with carbon additions holds much promise: carbon not only affects the structure and width of the band gap, but it can serve also as a sensitizer expanding the absorption spectrum into the visible region and promoting separation of photoexcited electrons and holes [4,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. On the other hand, it is known that the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide can be influenced by such factors as variations in the size, morphology, bulk and surface properties of its particles [7,[24][25][26][27].…”

Template‐Based Engineering of Carbon‐Doped Co3O4 Hollow Nanofibers as Anode Materials for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

“…A great number of methods have been developed to engineer C-doped TiO 2 including solgel method with carbon precursors, direct burning of titanium metal in natural gas fl ame, annealing TiO 2 under CO gas fl ow at high temperature, and thermal oxidation of TiC. [22][23][24][25] However, these conventional approaches have major limitations due to the requirement of external carbon precursors and the presence of aggregation of carbon species. [ 26 ] Herein, a novel hybrid synthesis procedure by combining electrospinning technique and hydrothermal method is described.…”
