Up to now, the explanation for origin of enhanced photocatalytic activity N doped TiO2 (N-TiO2) with H incorporation, which is observed in experiment, still lacking. In our work, effects hydrogenation on stability and electronic properties N-TiO2 have been systematically investigated by first-principles calculations. Our results study demonstrate that, both full part could stabilize largely red...

Gas selective sensors that are capable of sensing at hot-gas environment increasingly gaining importance for the monitoring combustion and thermal processes releasing NO, NO2 H2 containing hot gases temperatures exceeding 600 °C. Despite some drawbacks, TiO2 is operating as a gas sensor above 500 In this context, Ni-doped TiO2, Co-doped Rh-doped BaTiO3 have been prepared by oxalate coprecipitat...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) incorporated ordered 2D hexagonal mesoporous silica (SiO2) films on a glass substrate were fabricated for use as a catalytic nanoreactor. Films were prepared using a tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) derived SiO2 sol and a commercially available dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) in the presence of pluronic P123 as the structure directing agent. The effect of TiO2 dopi...

TiO2 prepared by a green aqueous sol–gel peptization process is co-doped with nitrogen and zirconium to improve extend its photoactivity the visible region. Two precursors are used: urea triethylamine; (IV) tert-butoxide added as source of zirconia. The N/Ti molar ratio fixed regardless chosen precursor while quantity zirconia set 0.7, 1.4, 2, or 2.8 mol%. performance physico-chemical propertie...

A new strategy for enhancing the efficiency of TiO2 dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) by doping foreign ion into TiO2 lattice via sol-gel process is reported. DSSCs are based on a semiconductor (i.e., TiO2), formed between a photo-sensitized anode and an electrolyte. In order to reach high conversion efficiency, it is important to increase the electron injection and optical absorption. One pro...

S-doped and bare mesoporous TiO2 were prepared using titanium tetraisopropoxide and thiocarbamide as raw materials. Prepared materials were characterized by means of fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FT-IR, thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface area and Barrett–Joy...

This article presents an overview of the reports on doping TiO2 with carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur, including single, co-, tri-doping. A comparison properties photocatalysts synthesized from various precursors C, N, or S dopants is summarized. Selected methods synthesis non-metal doped are also described. Furthermore, influence preparation conditions mode (interstitial substitutional) reference ...
