Facile synthesis and enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity of N and Zr co-doped TiO(2) nanostructures from nanotubular titanic acid precursors

Zr/N co-doped TiO(2) nanostructures were successfully synthesized using nanotubular titanic acid (NTA) as precursors by a facile wet chemical route and subsequent calcination. These Zr/N-doped TiO(2) nanostructures made by NTA precursors show significantly enhanced visible light absorption and much...

description Zr/N co-doped TiO(2) nanostructures were successfully synthesized using nanotubular titanic acid (NTA) as precursors by a facile wet chemical route and subsequent calcination. These Zr/N-doped TiO(2) nanostructures made by NTA precursors show significantly enhanced visible light absorption and much higher photocatalytic performance than the Zr/N-doped P25 TiO(2) nanoparticles. Impacts of Zr/N co-doping on the morphologies, optical properties, and photocatalytic activities of the NTA precursor-based TiO(2) were thoroughly investigated. The origin of the enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity is discussed in detail.
