Synthesis and photocatalytic activity of copper and nitrogen co-doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles

The Application of Bi‐Doped TiO2 for the Photocatalytic Oxidation of Formaldehyde

“…At present, the modification of titanium dioxide by doping has received extensive attention from scholars. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Previous studies show that the catalytic performance of impurity doped catalysts is better than that of undoped catalysts. Impurity doping can improve the performance of the catalyst in two ways: reducing the bandgap of the material to reduce the energy required for electron transition, alternatively, reducing the recombination velocity of carriers by forming traps.…”

Investigation on copper–nickel co-doped anatase titania nanospheres as an efficient material for photocatalytic and photovoltaic applications

“…12 Among different methods, photocatalysis is one of the most advantageous for dye degradation even at a low concentration, which is due to the low cost, the very low salinity of wastewater and the fact that there is no secondary wastage. 13 The mechanism of this method is that by the irradiation of solar energy onto the semiconductor (TiO 2 ) photocatalyst, a strong hydroxyl radical is created, which separates the complex molecules.…”

Photocatalytic degradation of VOCs from air stream using Mo:TiO2/GAC nanocomposites

“…Pure TiO 2 does not show a strong photocatalytic activity because of rapid electron-hole recombination and it also is a polar chemical structure resulting in its low tendency to the most VOC molecules [11]. Morphological modifications have been considered as a good solution, among which coating TiO 2 on a porous substrate has been most commonly employed to increase both the specific surface area and its affinity towards VOC compounds [12,13].…”
