In the present work we have synthesized nanotubular TiO2 film with a nonstoichiometric layer in the vicinity of titanium foil by anodization during 120 min. The catalytic activity of nanotubular titanium dioxide films formed during the oxidation of acetone to carbon dioxide under the action of visible light with a wavelength of 450 nm was found to be approximately 2 times higher compared to standard titanium dioxide (Degussa P25). Such a pronounced enhancement of activity may be attributed to a more efficient absorption of visible light by the films due to narrowing of the optical gap because of difference in the nonstoichiometry of titanium dioxide near the interface between nanotubular film and the titanium foil substrate. Keywords: photocatalysis, nonstoichiometric titanium dioxide, purification of water

The in-suit Dy-doped titanium dioxide nanotubes arrays were prepared by anodic oxidation method using Dy (NO3)3·6H2O and pure Ti sheet. The sample was characterized by SEM, XRD and XPS for its size and structure. The photocatalytic properties of nanotubes arrays were researched by using methyl orange as target degradation under the visible light. The results showed that the catalytic activity of Dy-doped titanium dioxide nanotubes arrays was 72% under visible light. The catalyst has hight stability and potential industrial applications.
