Nitride doped titanium oxide ( TiOxNy ) is a photocatalytic material which acts under visible light, while conventional titanium oxide acts only in ultra violet light. In this study, we tried to make nitride doped titanium film by oxidizing of TiN film. The TiN films were deposited on the quartz substrate by DC magnetron sputtering. The film structure was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The photocatalytic decomposing rate was measured using methylene blue solution under black light and fluorescent lamp. As a result, post annealing process after oxidizing process is unsuitable to realize a high photocatalytic activity for oxidized TiN . On the other hand, the samples oxidized in nitrogen rich atmosphere showed the obvious photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation. This reason is that the oxidation of the film surface is controlled and nitrogen atom left in film surface by nitrogen gas supplying. In conclusion, oxidizing of TiN film in nitrogen rich atmosphere is suitable to realize a high photocatalytic activity.

In the last decade, the urgent need to environmental protection has promoted the development of new materials with potential applications to remediate air and polluted water. In this work, the effect of the TiO2 thin layer over MoS2 material in photocatalytic activity is reported. We prepared different heterostructures, using a combination of electrospinning, solvothermal, and spin-coating techniques. The properties of the samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis-DRS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The adsorption and photocatalytic activity were evaluated by discoloration of rhodamine B solution. The TiO2-MoS2/TiO2 heterostructure presented three optical absorption edges at 1.3 eV, 2.28 eV, and 3.23 eV. The high adsorption capacity of MoS2 was eliminated with the addition of TiO2 thin film. The samples show high photocatalytic activity in the visible-IR light spectrum.
