The synthesis of surface defect TiO2-x nanobelts with excellent visible light absorption is important to reduce costs, increase stability, and improve photocatalytic activity. In this work, we report that nitrogen-doped surface defect TiO2-x nanobelts are synthesized by annealing pristine TiO2 nanobelts in Ar/H2 (95%/5%) atmosphere followed by subsequent heat treatment in NH3 at various temperatures. The aim is to study the effect of the extent of the N-doping amount in the lattice of TiO2-x nanobelts on light absorption and photocatalytic activity. Considering the increase in organic pollutants in wastewater, the photocatalytic activity is measured by degrading rhodamine B (RhB) dye in water. The results demonstrate that the calcination temperature affects the doping level of N, and the b-TiO2-N550 sample exhibits higher photocatalytic performance than that of other samples under visible-light irradiation for the degradation of rhodamine B, which is up to 96.11%. The enhancement is ascribed to the synergistic effect of N-doping and self-doping oxygen vacancy (which extend the visible light absorption) and the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, which improves the photocatalytic activity.

Effective control over the molecular orientation of pentacene was achieved with copper(i) iodide and results in a change in the functional properties with increases in both visible light absorption and work function.
