Abstract:
Nitrogen-doped, porous rutile has been prepared by hydrothermal reaction of TiN in nitric acid, with the nitrogen atoms present in the interstitial sites and in the form of adsorbed nitrate ions. The N-rutile powder exhibits outstanding photocatalytic activity toward degradation of adsorbed methylene blue under visible light irradiation.
