Effect of Plasma Processing Gas Composition on the Nitrogen-Doping Status and Visible Light Photocatalysis of TiO2

Abstract: The atmospheric pressure plasma enhanced nanoparticle synthesis (APPENS) process is applied to produce nitrogen (N) doped titania (TiO2) photocatalysts. With TTIP (titanium tetraisopropoxide; Ti(OC3H7)4) and water vapors as precursors, the effect of plasma and annealing gas composition on the N-doping status is identified by a cross comparison of the chemical shift of N atoms with those of Ti and O atoms. The activities of various types of N-doped photocatalysts are evaluated via the conversion of isopropyl al… Show more

“…In N 1s spectra, the peaks at 399.4 eV assigned to the molecularly chemisorbed ␥-N 2 37 were all observed for the four samples. However, only the regenerated sample by dry plasma appeared a new peak at 406.6 eV, which derives from the formation of [NO y ] s on catalyst surface [24,50]. This indicates that the humid plasma could avoid the formation of poisoning species [NO y ] s in comparison with the dry plasma, which is in good line with the FT-IR and UV-vis spectra results.…”

“…The results of Diwald et al [30] rather indicate negative contribution of Ti-N bonding to photocatalytic activity. According to the reports [31,32], N 1s state at 400 eV in our doped samples of TiO 2 samples by the solvothermal method is in an oxidized state similar to -(NO) and interstitially dopant -(NH) from HMT, which can be attributed to the doping status of N 1s(II) at 398.8-401.2 eV classified by Chen et al [33]. The -(NO) and -(NH) dopants may have positive effects on the visible light photocatalytic activity.…”

“…Many approaches have been proposed to develop active and stable photocatalysts, including doping TiO 2 with metal ions or metal atoms, incorporating nitrogen and carbon into TiO 2 , and employing other non-TiO 2 metal oxides as photocatalysts [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Non-TiO 2 photocatalysts have attracted a great deal of attentions because of their high photocatalytic efficiency and potential application in environmental remediation [25][26][27][28][29].…”
