“…Titania co-doping by nitrogen and metal ions is expected to improve the photocatalytic response for both UV and visible light resulting in effective photocatalytic processes. However, stimulated absorption under low energy light and efficient charge separation are mostly connected to the surface state of N-and metal ions dopant species in TiO 2 lattice, and to the peculiarities of the doping process (Ihnatiuk et al 2017;Linnik et al 2020). TiO 2 modified with different noble metals was intensively studied in the photocatalytic processes to clarify the effect of noble nanoparticle in photoinduced charge separation (Ahmed et al 2014;Choi et al 2010;Linnik et al 2013;Ono et al 2010).…”

Co-doping of titania by N and Pt species was employed to tune the electronic structure and enhance the electrocatalytic and photocatalytic activity of the films. Herein, the different approaches of synthesis procedure of Pt-and Pt,N-TiO 2 films were used to investigate their effect on the platinum oxidation states. The resulting different species of Pt led to the changes in the electronic structure of TiO 2 , with consequent bandgap narrowing, anodic shift of the flat band potential, and cathodic shift of the valence band The quantum yield efficiency was correlated with Pt 0 atomic content and the relative atomic content of Pt n+ -O-Ti fragments, whereas its decrease for some samples can be caused by the presence of N and Pt n+ . The highest response for N 2 O photocatalytic decomposition was observed over Pt,N-TiO 2 films. The presence of metal and non-metal species in TiO 2 structure resulted in synergistic effect including (1) inhibition of recombination of the electrons and holes and (2) narrowing of the bandgap. Electrocatalytic properties in hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions were improved by Pt doping. The formed Pt 2+ -O-Ti bonds rather than Pt nanoparticles are suggested to be responsible for the highest electrocatalytic activity. The additional UV exposure of the electrodes led to Pt NPs aggregation as a result of photodeposition of Pt ions. The mechanism of the Pt 2+ photoreduction in TiO 2 structure is proposed.
