Preparation of Novel N-TiO2 by a Solid-State Method and Its Photocatalytic Activity

1000 at 1000: transforming titania take two

“…Nitrogen was assumed to substitute on the oxygen lattice, increase the number of oxide vacancies and thus promote the transformation. Experimental reports on the effect of nitrogen on the anatase-to-rutile transition have been mixed: a few have stated it was a promoter [9][10][11], but the majority classified it as an inhibitor [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”
