Abstract
Nitrogen-doped TiO2 (TiO2:N) nano-particles with a pure anatase crystalline structure were successfully synthesized through the hydrolysis of TiCl4 in an ammonia aqueous solution. The samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2-sorption, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis DRS) techniques. The absorption edge of nitrogen-doped TiO2 shifted into the visible wavelength region. The photoelectrochemical (PEC) performances were investigated for the TiO2 mesoporous electrodes doped with different nitrogen concentrations. The TiO2:N electrodes exhibited much higher PEC responses compared to the pure TiO2 electrode because of the significantly enhanced visible-photoresponsibility of the TiO2:N electrodes.
