Nitrogen Doped Titanium Dioxide

Highly ordered nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide (N-doped TiO2) nanotube arrays were prepared by anodic oxidation method and then annealed in a N2atmosphere to obtain N-doped TiO2nanotube arrays. The samples were characterized with scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS), and UV-visible spectrophotometry (UV-vis) spectrum. Degradation of the insecticide acephate under the visible light was used as a model to examine the visible-light photocatalytic activity of N-doped TiO2nanotube arrays. The results show that N type doping has no notable effects on the morphology and structure of TiO2nanotube arrays. After N type doping, the N replaces a small amount of O in TiO2, forming an N–Ti–O structure. This shifts the optical absorption edge and enhances absorption of the visible light. N-doped TiO2nanotube arrays subjected to annealing at 500°C in N2atmosphere show the strongest photocatalytic activity and reach a degradation rate of 84% within 2 h.

Carbon (C) doped TiO2/CdS core-shell nanocomposite (C/TiO2/CdS) was synthesized using microemulsion method. Synthesized powder was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV-visible spectrophotometery. TEM images reveal that C/TiO2/CdS core-shell heterostructure is successfully prepared with CdS as a core and C doped TiO2 as a shell. UV-visible absorption spectra show that CdS nanoparticles act as a sensitizer and effectively enhance the photoabsorption capacity of C/TiO2/CdS nanocomposite in visible region. Visible light photocatalytic activity of synthesized nanocomposite was evaluated for the degradation of methylene blue. C/TiO2/CdS core-shell nanocomposite exhibits better photocatalytic activity as compared to bare TiO2, CdS, CdS/TiO2, and C doped TiO2.

The Nano-Bi2MoO6was prepared using Bi(NO3)3•5H2O and Na2MoO4•2H2O as starting materials by a hydrothermal process. The prepared Bi2MoO6product was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). It was found that the prepared nano-Bi2MoO6show narrow band gap of 2.88 eV. Consequently, the prepared nano-Bi2MoO6show high visible-light photocatalytic activity for decomposition of Rhodamine B in comparison with the commercial Degussa P25, which was ascribed to the visible-light absorption.

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 nanoparticle powders were prepared efficiently by the sol-gel method using triethylamine and ammonium hydroxide as composite N precursor. The as-prepared N-doped TiO2 precursor powders were calcined at 300°C in air for 3 h and subsequently annealed at 300°C in air for 2.5 h. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermo-gravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The visible light photocatalytic activities of as-prepared samples were evaluated by photodecomposition of methyl orange (MO). The results show that the as-prepared samples have high visible light photocatalytic activities. Triethylamine produces the N-species doped in TiO2 lattice responsible for the high visible light photocatalytic activity. Ammonium hydroxide makes the gel of the TiO2 nanoparticles nitrided by triethylamine gelate further and facilitates significantly the centrifugation of the gel. An annealing treatment can eliminate effectively the outer N species caused by ammonium hydroxide and the surface organic residues, improve effectively crystallinity, and retain the N species caused by triethylamine.

The LaFeO3 nanoparticle was synthesized using Fe(NO3)3 and La(NO3)3 as starting materials by homogeneous precipitation method. The as-prepared LaFeO3 product was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). XRD and SEM demonstrate the successful synthesis of single phase perovskite LaFeO3 and with 60-80 nm particle size. It was found that the as-prepared LaFeO3 shows strong visible-light absorption with absorption onset of 532 nm, indicating a narrow optical band gap of 2.33 eV. Furthermore, the as-prepared LaFeO3 shows high visible-light photocatalytic activity for decomposition of methylene blue in comparison with the commercial Degussa P25.
