Chapter 2 Influence of synthesis method on the property of Ti0 2 _,N y
In this section, the influence of synthesis methods on the properties and photocatalytic activities of nitrogen
doped Ti0 2 was studied. Two high heating-efficient methods, "microwave-assisted solvothermal synthesis", and
"rapid solvothermal synthesis", were employed for the solvothermal synthesis of Ti0 2_xN y with titanium
trichloride and hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) as raw materials, where the HMT played an important role as both
the precipitant and the nitrogen source. The results revealed that by altering the adding amount of HMT or the
reaction solvent, the hydrolysis and precipitation rate could be controlled, and thus the Ti0 2_xN y with the
crystalline phases of brookite, rutile, anatase or mixed phases could be selectively formed .
By
the
solvothermal
microwave-assisted
method,
particles with nano size less than 30
nm, or with spherical morphology
could be synthesized in H 20
and
ethanol, respectively, as shown in Fig.
1. Both of them showed excellent
photocatalytic
activities
for
the
SOOnm
oxidative decomposition of NO gas
under both visible light and UV light
irradiation.

owning to the high heating efficiency and thermal conductivity of

the reaction system, Ti0 2_xN y could be synthesized in an
extremely short reaction time as 10 min. This reaction condition
not only reduced the operation time and energy consumption but
also led to the formation of Ti0 2_xN y nanoparticles with mixed
crystalline phases, high crystallinity and uniform rod-like

Chapter 3. Influence of metal ion co-doping on the property of Ti0 2_xNy
This section investigated the influence of metal ion co-doping on the property and photocatalytic activity of
-
101 -
Ti0 2_xN y. By a facile hydrothermal method, nanopartic1es of Ti0 2_xN y co-doped with Ta, Nb, and Fe were
synthesized using TiCh, TaCI 5 , NbCI 5 , FeCh and hexamethylenetetramine as raw materials. The existences ofTa,
Nb, Fe, and N in the final products were confirmed by the EDX and XPS analysis. The obtained samples showed
extremely small crystallite sizes around 20 nm, and no change in crystalline phases, regardless of the co-doped
metal ions. Co-doping with Nb or Ta caused no change in the light absorption property, but slight decrease in
specific surface areas. Co-doping with Fe could enhance the visible light absorption, but showed no influence on
specific surface areas. However, for the photocatalytic activities in the decomposition of NO, the co-doping ofNb
and Ta showed a positive effect in enhancing the activity, while the Fe co-doping caused the decrease in activity.
The determining factor was attributed to the amount of anion vacancy in the samples with different
co-doping metal ions. In the N doped Ti0 2, since 0 2- was substituted by N 3-, anion vacancy would be formed for
charge compensation. Vacancy is usually considered as the recombination center of photo-induced electrons and
holes and would cause the decrease in photocatalytic activity. By co-doping a higher valence metal ion (Ta, Nb)
into Ti02_xN y, the amount of anion vacancy can be reduced; therefore, the photocatalytic activity can be enhanced.
In contrast, co-doping with a lower valence metal (Fe) ion would cause the increase in anion vacancy and result in
the decrease in photocatalytic activity, as shown in Fig. 3

Figure 3. Photocatalytic activities of Ti02 co-doped with Nb & N, and Fe & N, and the composite of Ti02-xNy/Fe203
On the other hand, by simply altering the synthesis sequence, instead of Fe co-doped Ti02_xN y,
Ti02_xNylFe203 composite was also prepared. The coupling of these two compounds with different band gap
structure could effectively depress the recombination of electrons and holes by heterogeneous electron transfer,
and result in a high photocatalytic activity. The results also indicated that the status of Fein the samples would
greatly affect the performance of the samples in photocatalytic reaction.
Chapter 4. Enhancement of photocatalytic activity by structure control
This section represented the enhancements in photocatalytic activity by constructing two kinds of
heterostructured photocatalysts, KO.81 Ti1.73Lio.2704/Ti02-xNy, and attapulgite/Ti02_xN y'

structure and interaction between two semiconductors. Furthermore, the durability in photocatalytic reaction could
also be enhanced by forming this sandwich-like structure.
On the other hand, attapulgite/Ti0 2_xN y composites were

Chapter 5. Summary and conclusions
In the present thesis, enhancements in the photocatalytic activity of Ti0 2_xN y were accomplished based on a
panoscopic assembling concept, in which the properties of Ti0 2-xN y were modified via a step by step control from
atomic to composite's level. The results suggested the importance of elements status, crystalline phases and
crystallinity in determining the photocatalytic activity of Ti0 2_xN y , which could be optimized by controlling the
synthesis methods. In order to fabricate a low-cost and high-performance visible light photocatalyst, supporting
Ti02_xN y on attapulgite clays was proven to be an easy and effective approach.
