ConclusionsConclusions

Visible light responsive nitrogen-doped titania with high specific surface area were prepared by solvothermal reactions in mixed solution of TiCl3 -hexamethylenetetramine.

Nitrogen-doped titania showed excellent photocatalytic activity for the environmental clean-up.

The photocatalytic performance of nitrogen-doped titania could be improved by co-doping with higher valence metal ions and/or lower valence anion, and coupling with semiconductors, clay minerals and long afterglaw phosphors.

Visible light responsive nitrogen-doped titania with high specific surface area were prepared by solvothermal reactions in mixed solution of TiCl3 -hexamethylenetetramine.

Nitrogen-doped titania showed excellent photocatalytic activity for the environmental clean-up.

The photocatalytic performance of nitrogen-doped titania could be improved by co-doping with higher valence metal ions and/or lower valence anion, and coupling with semiconductors, clay minerals and long afterglaw phosphors.
