Visible-light photocatalytically active titanium oxide (TiO2) nano-powder was synthesized by a flat-flame chemical vapor condensation method. The formation of TiO2 consisting of different ratios of anatase and rutile phases was controlled by two parameters: the acetylene flow rate (C2H2, 600 sccm and 800 sccm) and the acetylene/oxygen flow ratio (C2H2/O2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, and 1:6). The location of the photonic center was identified for visible-light absorption, which is in the anatase grains. The photonic center on the surface of anatase grains happens to be the nucleation site for rutile in an oxygen-deficient environment. The visible-light absorption could be attributed to the formation of defect levels related to the photonic center within the band gap of anatase. The major role of the mixed-phase structure of TiO2 in the enhancement of visible-light photocatalytic activity is in the enhancement of carrier separation and not of light harvest, for the powder produced in this study.

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.

Highly porous carbon-doped TiO2(C-TiO2) has been prepared, for the first time, through a light-driven approach using crystalline titanium glycolate (TG) as the single-source precursor. Although the nonthermally prepared porous C-TiO2is amorphous, it shows a remarkable visible-light photocatalytic activity higher than that of nitrogen-doped TiO2(N-TiO2) due to its significant surface area (530 m2/g) and pore-rich structure. X-ray photoelectron, electron paramagnetic resonance, and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy reveal that the as-prepared porous C-TiO2photocatalyst contains Ti–O–C bonds which result in visible-light absorption of the material at wavelengths less than 550 nm. Furthermore, it is discovered that the Ti–O–C bonds in the as-prepared C-TiO2is easily transformed to coke-type species under mild thermal treatment (200°C). The resulting coke-containing porous TiO2is an even better visible-light photocatalyst, almost twice as effective as N-TiO2, because of its stronger visible-light absorption. The Ti–O–C and the coke-containing porous TiO2materials follow two different mechanisms in the visible-light photocatalysis process for degradation of methylene blue.
