N-La co-doped TiO2 has been synthesized via sol-gel process. The XRD result showed that the structure of N-La co-doped TiO2 was anatase. Their performance of photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under visible light were investigated. The combined effects of catalyst compsition, calcination temperature, catalyst amount and reaction temperature on catalyst activity were investigated. Experiment results depicted that activeness of catalyst N2.5La0.5/TiO2 calcinated at 500°C for 2h was highest. Using this catalyst, when the catalyst amount was 0.35 g/L, the reaction temperature was 40°C the degradation rate of mehylene blue in 4h could reach 96.5%.

TiO2 prepared by a green aqueous sol–gel peptization process is co-doped with nitrogen and zirconium to improve and extend its photoactivity to the visible region. Two nitrogen precursors are used: urea and triethylamine; zirconium (IV) tert-butoxide is added as a source of zirconia. The N/Ti molar ratio is fixed regardless of the chosen nitrogen precursor while the quantity of zirconia is set to 0.7, 1.4, 2, or 2.8 mol%. The performance and physico-chemical properties of these materials are compared with the commercial Evonik P25 photocatalyst. For all doped and co-doped samples, TiO2 nanoparticles of 4 to 8 nm of size are formed of anatase-brookite phases, with a specific surface area between 125 and 280 m2 g−1 vs. 50 m2 g−1 for the commercial P25 photocatalyst. X-ray photoelectron (XPS) measurements show that nitrogen is incorporated into the TiO2 materials through Ti-O-N bonds allowing light absorption in the visible region. The XPS spectra of the Zr-(co)doped powders show the presence of TiO2-ZrO2 mixed oxide materials. Under visible light, the best co-doped sample gives a degradation of p-nitrophenol (PNP) equal to 70% instead of 25% with pure TiO2 and 10% with P25 under the same conditions. Similarly, the photocatalytic activity improved under UV/visible reaching 95% with the best sample compared to 50% with pure TiO2. This study suggests that N/Zr co-doped TiO2 nanoparticles can be produced in a safe and energy-efficient way while being markedly more active than state-of-the-art photocatalytic materials under visible light.

Different weight percentages (0.25-1.00 wt%) of Nitrogen (Non-Metal) and Manganese (Metal) co-doped nano titania were synthesized by sol-gel method and characterized by XRD, UV-vis.DRS, FT-IR, XPS, SEM and TEM. The XRD results has shown that all the prepared catalysts are in anatase phase indicating that co-doping of N and Mn did not affect the crystal structure of TiO2 . From the UV-vis.DRS spectra a significant absorption shift towards visible region was noticed in N and Mn co-doped TiO2 and their presence was confirmed by XPS and FT-IR results. SEM and TEM results showed spherical nanoparticles with average particle size of 9 nm. Photocatalytic efficiency of synthesized nano materials was tested on non-biodegradable organophosphorous pesticide, Malathion under visible light irradiation. The effect of dopant concentration, pH, catalyst dosage, and initial pesticide concentration on photocatalytic degradation of malathion was studied and optimum conditions were established. Among the synthesized samples 0.50 wt% N & 1.00 wt% Mn-TiO2 exhibited best photocatalytic performance. Photoluminiscent spectroscopy (PL) was used to examine the rate of production of oxidative species, hydroxyl radicals which play key role in photocatalytic degradation.

Pure TiO2 and Fe- and Co-doped TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) as photocatalysts were synthesized using wet chemical methods (sol-gel + precipitation). Their crystalline structure and optical properties were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible light (UV-Vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized nanoparticles was evaluated through degradation of carbamazepine (CBZ) under UV-A and visible-light irradiations. The XRD and Raman analyses revealed that all synthesized nanomaterials showed only the anatase phase. The DRS results showed that the absorption edge was blue-shifted for Fe-doped TiO2 NPs. The decrease in charge recombination was evidenced from the PL investigation for both Co-doped and Fe-doped TiO2 nanomaterials. An enhancement in photocatalytic degradation of carbamazepine in aqueous suspension under both UV-A light and visible-light irradiations was observed for Fe-doped Titania NPs by comparison with pure TiO2. These results suggest that the doping cations could suppress the electron/hole recombination. Therefore, the photocatalytic activity of TiO2-based nanomaterials was enhanced.

Cerium and nitrogen co-doped TiO2 nanocrystals were synthesized by a simple sol-gel process, using tetrabutyl titanate as the raw materials with (NH4)2Ce(SO4)3 and urea as ion donors. The co-doped TiO2 nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electro microscopy. The photodegradation of glyphosate has been investigated in aqueous suspensions of doped TiO2 under visible irradiation. The results exhibit a higher thermal stability of anatase than pure TiO2.The uniform test results show the optimal conditions: nCe/nTi nN/nTi and calcining temperature was 0.08,0.01 and 800°C. The highest degradation rate for co-doped TiO2 show five times photocatalytic activity of Degussa P25.

In this present work, N-Ce co-doped TiO2 nanopaticles were prepared via sol-gel process and characterized by TG - DTA and XRD. Their performance of photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under visible light were investigated. N-Ce co-doped TiO2 appeared to be somewhat more efficient than the starting TiO2. The effects of catalyst compsition, catalyst amount, reaction temperature and solution pH on their photocatalytic activity towards methylene blue were studied and discussed. Experiment results depicted that activeness of catalyst N0.4Ce0.06/TiO2 was highest. Using this catalyst, when the catalyst amount was 0.3 g/L，the reaction temperature was 40 °C and pH of the solution was 9.0 the degradation rate of mehylene blue in 4h could reach 94.00%.
