Phosphorus-doped titania nanotubes with enhanced photocatalytic activity

One-Dimensional Titanium Dioxide Nanomaterials: Nanotubes

“…Hydrothermally grown TiO 2 nanotubes can be doped with various elements including chromium, manganese, cobalt, niobium, vanadium, bismuth, boron, phosphor, gadolinium, platinum, iron, and neodymium 457,458,[460][461][462][464][465][466] . Different co-doped 459,463 and tri-doped 467 TiO 2 nanotubes were also reported.…”

Morphological, Structural and Optical Properties Study of Transition Metal Ions Doped TiO2 Nanotubes Prepared by Hydrothermal Method

“…Moreover, doping could enhance its photoactivity by reducing the recombination of e -and h + pair and enhancing the interfacial [6], [7]. So far, various transition metal ions [8], [9], noble metal [10], and non-metals [11]- [13] [16]. Such wide variations in reported literatures should be mainly due to different preparation methods and doping elements which resulted in different physical properties of TiO 2 .…”

One-dimensional titania nanotubes annealed at various temperatures for the photocatalytic degradation of low concentration gaseous pollutants

“…silver, nitrogen, and phosphorus) as antibacterial agents. Applications have also been reported for chemical sensors, solar cells, and environmental treatment agents (Asapu et al, 2011;Lin, Rong, Ji, Fu, & Yuan, 2011;Toledo-Antonio et al, 2010;Ushiroda, Ruzycki, Lu, Spitler, & Parkinson, 2005). Furthermore, several research groups (Górska et al, 2008;Tachikawa, Tojo, Fujitsuka, Sekino, & Majima, 2006;Toledo-Antonio et al, 2010;Yu, Yu, & Cheng, 2007) have found that TNTs possess superior photocatalytic action to that of anatase TiO 2 nanoparticles for the photocatalytic oxidation of a variety of environmental pollutants, including aqueous phenol compounds, methyl orange, and reactive blue 69 dye.…”
