Simultaneous formation of a C/N-TiO2 hollow photocatalyst with efficient photocatalytic performance and recyclability

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(19)63286-9

Abstract

Abstract:

Herein, we report a unique approach towards the preparation of C-modified and N-doped TiO₂ hollow spheres (C/N-TiO₂). TEM, SEM, and XPS analyses were used to confirm that the carbon and nitrogen co-decorated TiO₂ photocatalyst was formed. Carbon-decoration improves the visible-light absorption and speeds up the separation of the photo-generated electron-hole pairs. C/N-TiO₂ not only narrows the band gap of TiO₂, but also exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of tetracycline and tetracycline hydrochloride. In addition, the C/N-TiO₂ photocatalyst shows excellent recyclability for water decontamination, making it a promising candidate to purify aquatic contaminants.

Key words: Simultaneous synthesis, C/N-doped TiO₂, Hollow sphere, Tetracycline, Photocatalysis
