Authors
abstract
in order to improve uv and visible lights photocatalytic activities of the pure anatase tio2, a novel and efficient n-doped tio2 photocatalyst was prepared by sol-gel method. n-doped titania is prepared using triethylamine (with difference molar ratios) as the nitrogen source. the crystalline structure, morphology, particle size, absorbance and band-gap and chemical structure of n-doped tio2 was characterized by x-ray diffraction , diffuse reflectance spectra , scanning electron microscopy , energy dispersive spectrometry and fourier transform infrared techniques, respectively. results indicate that the doping of n, cause absorption edge shifts to the visible light region compare to the pure tio2, reduces average size of the tio2 crystallites, enhances desired lattice distortion of ti, promotes separation of photo-induced electron and hole pair, and thus improves pollutant decomposition under uv and visible lights irradiation. the photocatalytic activities of n-doped tio2 nanoparticles were evaluated using the photodegradation of methyl orange (mo) as probe reaction under the irradiation of uv and visible light and it was observed that the n-tio2 photocatalyst shows higher visible photocatalytic activity than the pure tio2. the optimal n/tio2 concentration to obtain the highest photocatalytic activity was 2:1 of triethylamine

Effects of N Doping on Structure and Improvement Photocatalytic Properties of Anatase TiO2 Nanoparticles
INTRODUCTION As one of the most promising photocatalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants, TiO 2 has attracted significant attention and it has biologically and chemically inert, mechanically robust, nontoxic, cheap, environmental freindliness and therefore a perfect candidate for wide scale application with high efficiency [1-4]. However, TiO 2 nanoparticles due to the band-gap of 3.0...
full textInfluences of Doping on Photocatalytic Properties of TiO2 Photocatalyst
As a kind of highly effective, low‐cost, and stable photocatalysts, TiO2 has received substantial public and scientific attention. However, it can only be activated under ultraviolet light irradiation due to its wide bandgap, high recombination, and weak separation efficiency of carriers. Doping is an effective method to extend the light absorption to the visible light region. In this chapter, ...

We have performed a density functional theory investigation on the structural and electronic properties of pristine and Nitrogen-doped TiO2 anatase nanoparticles as the adsorbents for removal and degradation of hydrazine molecules in the environment. We have presented the most stable adsorption configurations and examined the interaction of hydrazine molecule with these doped and undoped nanopa...
