A simple method to synthesize N-doped rutile titania with enhanced photocatalytic activity in sunlight

This study demonstrates a simple route for the synthesis of nanocrystalline N doped rutile titania by calcination of acidified TiCl 3 in presence of urea. Urea was used as a source of nitrogen. The N doped rutile titania was yellow in colour and showed excellent photocatalytic activity in sunlight....

Description
Summary:This study demonstrates a simple route for the synthesis of nanocrystalline N doped rutile titania by calcination of acidified TiCl 3 in presence of urea. Urea was used as a source of nitrogen. The N doped rutile titania was yellow in colour and showed excellent photocatalytic activity in sunlight. Synthesis of an N-doped yellow rutile titania with efficient visible light photocatalytic activity.
