Abstract:Doping nitrogen into titanium dioxide (N–TiO2) is vital to extend its
photocatalytic activity to the visible-light range. However, this
often leads to a significant decrease in film transparency, which
hinders its usage in environmental applications. In this study, we
report the deposition of N–TiO2 films with a visible-light
activity and improved transparency. Using pulsed magnetron sputtering,
we achieve a high concentration (∼7.5%) of nitrogen incorporation
into anatase TiO2 films. This results in a much-re… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
