Title: One-step synthesis of Fe–N–S-tri-doped TiO{sub 2} catalyst and its enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity

Abstract

Graphical abstract: FeNS-TiO{sub 2} exhibits stronger SPS response than that of pure TiO{sub 2}, indicating that the FeNS-TiO{sub 2} should have a higher separation rates of photoinduced charge carriers. Further, for the sample FeNS-TiO{sub 2} a broad shoulder SPS response can be seen at the wavelength range from 390 to 550 nm, suggesting that the light absorption in visible region of FeNS-TiO{sub 2} was greatly improved, which is beneficial to the enhancement of photocatalytic activity. Display Omitted Highlights: ► FeNS-TiO{sub 2} catalyst has been synthesized in the presence of ammonium ferrous sulfate. ► The light absorption edge of FeNS-TiO{sub 2} catalyst was red-shifted to visible region. ► The separation efficiency of photoinduced charge carriers of FeNS-TiO{sub 2} was improved. ► The activity enhanced mechanism of FeNS-TiO{sub 2} was discussed in detail. -- Abstract: Fe–N–S-tridoped TiO{sub 2} was synthesized through simple one step sol–gel reactions in the presence of ammonium ferrous sulfate. The resulting materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectrum and surface photovoltage spectroscopy. Results revealed that Fe and S were incorporated into the lattice of TiO{sub 2} by substituting for some Ti atoms and N for O atoms in the latticemore » of TiO{sub 2}. Tri-doping with Fe, N and S could inhibit the phase transformation of TiO{sub 2} from anatase to rutile, restrain the growth of crystallite sizes, extended the light absorption into the visible region and separate photoinduced charge carriers. The visible photocatalytic activity of Fe–N–S-tridoped TiO{sub 2} was higher than that of N-TiO{sub 2} and P25 TiO{sub 2}. The enhanced photocatalytic activity was attributed to the small crystallite size, high crystallinity, the intense light absorption in visible region, narrow band gap and high separation efficiency of photoinduced charge carriers.« less
