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.

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.

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.
