“…There have been many attempts to expand the photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 to the visible-light region [1][2][3][4]. Nitrogen doping among the various surface modification methods of TiO 2 has the advantages of ease of manufacture and eco-friendliness [5][6][7]. Nitrogen doping on TiO 2 can be prepared by a relatively simple method, and it has the advantage that N is doped on the most effective dopant due to its similar size to oxygen and metastable defect complex, as well as small ionization energy [8].…”

Amorphous TiO2 doped with N was characterized by its photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation. The amorphous N-doped TiO2 was prepared by the sol-gel method through heat treatment at a low temperature. The photocatalyst showing activity in visible light despite heat treatment at low temperature can be applied to plastics and has excellent utility. The N-doped TiO2 appeared amorphous when heat-treated at 130 °C. It was converted into an anatase-type N-doped TiO2 when this was calcined at 500 °C. The photocatalyst showed photocatalytic activities in the photocatalytic decomposition of formaldehyde and methylene blue under visible light irradiation. The photocatalyst exhibited a higher rate of hydrogen production than that of TiO2 in photocatalytic decomposition of water under liquid-phase plasma irradiation. The bandgap of the amorphous N-doped TiO2 measured by investigation of optical properties was 2.4 eV. The lower bandgap induced the photocatalytic activities under visible light irradiation.

The objective of this study is to investigate the role of Na + content in the morphology evolution of TiO 2 nanoparticles prepared by hydrothermal approach. Various TiO 2 morphology from 0-dimensional (0D) nanoparticles to 1-dimensional (1D) nanorods were synthesised by hydrothermally treating the alkali titanate nanotubes with different Na + content. The XRD patterns show the phase transformation and crystallographic nature of alkali titanate nanotubes are strongly dependent on the Na + content, the cation exchange of Na + by H + ion exchange affects the crystallinity of the tubes and causes disorder of the interlayers of nanotubes. The SEM and TEM images confirm that Na + rich titanate nanotubes were thermally stable. Moreover, BET measurements revealed that the Na + content plays an important role on the specific surface area of formed TiO 2 nanoparticles. The photocatalytic activity of the TiO 2 nanoparticles was characterised via the decomposition rate of an aqueous solution of methyl orange (MO) under UV light irradiation. The TiO 2 nanoparticles prepared by hydrothermally treating the alkali titanate nanotubes with no Na + content has a surface area of 55.1 m 2 /g with nearly 100% photodecomposition of MO in 20 min.

“…Recently, it has been proved that several non- or weakly luminescent test molecules, such as terephthalic acid [37,38] and coumarin [39,40] produce strongly luminescent compounds with •OH radical, and these molecules can be applied for evaluation of the relative photocatalytic activity of the photocatalyst. Here coumarin is used as a probe to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 nanorods.…”

Semiconductor TiO 2 photocatalysis has attracted much attention due to its potential application in solving the problems of environmental pollution. In this paper, thiourea (CH 4 N 2 S) modified anatase TiO 2 nanorods were fabricated by calcination of the mixture of TiO 2 nanorods and thiourea at 600˝C for 2 h. It was found that only N element was doped into the lattice of TiO 2 nanorods. With increasing the weight ratio of thiourea to TiO 2 (R) from 0 to 8, the light-harvesting ability of the photocatalyst steady increases. Both the crystallization and photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 nanorods increase first and then decrease with increase in R value, and R2 sample showed the highest crystallization and photocatalytic activity in degradation of Brilliant Red X3B (X3B) and Rhodamine B (RhB) dyes under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm). The increased visible-light photocatalytic activity of the prepared N-doped TiO 2 nanorods is due to the synergistic effects of the enhanced crystallization, improved light-harvesting ability and reduced recombination rate of photo-generated electron-hole pairs. Note that the enhanced visible photocatalytic activity of N-doped nanorods is not based on the scarification of their UV photocatalytic activity.
