However, the problems of low quantum efficiency and high photo-generated carrier recombination of untreated white titanium dioxide under full spectrum severely limit the application of the untreated white titanium dioxide in the field of photocatalysisThe practical application of (1).
In recent years, researchers at home and abroad successfully improve the full-spectrum absorption performance of the titanium dioxide material by means of metal/nonmetal doping, heterojunction construction, photosensitizer sensitization and the like. In addition, by itself Ti3+Or introduction of oxygen deficiency (Vo) to produce reduced titanium dioxide (TiO) of different colors2-x) The photocatalytic capacity of the material can also be improved (Science 2011,331,746). The study shows that Ti3+Distribution and concentration of/Vo defects on modified TiO2-xThe light absorption and carrier separation efficiency of (2) have important effects, and these defects can be in TiO2A local state is introduced into the forbidden band, so that the band gap width is reduced, and the visible light absorption capacity of the material is improved. However, Ti introduced in excess3+the/Vo defect forms a new recombination center of a photon-generated carrier, and the defect is concentrated on TiO on the surface of the sample2-xThe material has the defects of poor stability and the like in air. On the other hand, nitrogen is easy to dope and introduce into the structure of titanium dioxide due to the similar radius of nitrogen and oxygen atoms. Nitrogen doping can improve TiO by reducing the forbidden band width of the photocatalyst2The light absorption capacity of the photocatalytic material and the ability to stabilize Ti3+Vo defects increase the stability of reduced titania (Energy environ. sci.2014,7,967). In summary, the stable and efficient reduced TiO is prepared by combining the defect self-doping and nitrogen doping processes2Has important function for improving the activity of the photocatalyst.
