摘要
A novel visible light active photocatalyst is synthesized by doping TiO2 with multiple dopants like Nb, N and S. TiO2 exists as anatase phase and the particle size is in the range of 10-25 nm. A significant red shift of the absorption edge and increased visible light absorption is shown by multidoped TiO2 compared to undoped TiO2. The tri-doped TiO2 has the highest activity for the photodegradation of methyl orange and the activity shows the order: 0.6NbNS-TiO2 > P25> 0.6Nb-TiO2 > NS-TiO2 > pristine TiO2. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of tri-doped TiO2 is due to the reduction of band gap and enhancement of lifetime of photogenerated charge carriers. This multidoped catalyst is found to be stable and only a marginal decrease in the activity is observed upto 3 cycles. Experiments with quenchers suggest that all super oxide, hydroxyl radicals and photogenerated holes are active species for the oxidation reaction. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
