Monophasic orthorhombic InVO4 was synthesized using InCl3 and NH4VO3 as starting materials by a hydrothermal approach. The as-prepared InVO4 product was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). It was found that the as-prepared InVO4 shows strong visible-light absorption with absorption onset of 515 nm, indicating a narrow optical band gap of 2.4 eV. Furthermore, the as-prepared InVO4 shows high visible-light photocatalytic activity for decomposition of methyl orange, which is ascribed to the strong visible-light absorption.

Sheet-on-sphere Ag/AgBr@InVO4 displayed excellent photocatalytic degradation of RhB, which was attributed to enhanced visible-light absorption and anti-combination of electrons/holes through it's heterostructure.

Anatase mesoporous titanium dioxide codoped with nitrogen and chlorine (N-Cl-TiO2) photocatalysts were synthesized through simple one-step sol-gel reactions in the presence of ammonium chloride. The resulting materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection spectrum (UV-vis DRS). XRD results indicated that codoping with nitrogen and chlorine could effectively retard the phase transformation of TiO2from anatase to rutile and the growth of the crystallite sizes. XPS revealed that nitrogen and chlorine elements were incorporated into the lattice of TiO2through substituting the lattice oxygen atoms. DRS exhibited that the light absorption of N-Cl-TiO2in visible region was greatly improved. As a result, the band gap of TiO2was reduced to 2.12 eV. The photocatalytic activity of the as-synthesized TiO2was evaluated for the degradation of RhB and phenol under visible light irradiation. It was found that N-Cl-TiO2catalyst exhibited higher visible light photocatalytic activity than that of P25 TiO2and N-TiO2, which was attributed to the small crystallite size, intense light absorption in visible region, and narrow band gap.

N doped TiO2 nano-crystalline was prepared through hydrolysis-precipitation process in the presence of ammonia water. The resulting materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS). It was found that N was incorporated into the lattice of TiO2 through substituting lattice oxygen atoms and coexisted in the forms of substitutional N (O–Ti–N) and interstitial N (Ti–O–N). Further, doping with N could greatly improve the phase transformation of TiO2 from rutile to anatase and light absorption in visible light region. The high visible light photocatalytic activity for the degradation of RhB of N doped TiO2 was mainly attributed to the small crystallite size, mixed phase composition, intense light absorption in visible light region, narrow band gap energy and surface hydroxyl groups.
