Photoelectrochemical property and photocatalytic activity of N-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract N-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays (NTN) were prepared by anodization and dip-calcination method. Hydrazine hydrate was used as nitrogen source. The surface morphology of samples was characterized by SEM. It showed that the mean size of inner diameter was 65 nm and wall thickness was 15 nm for NTN. The ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays on Ti substrate can sustain the impact of doping process and post-heat treatment. The atomic ratio of N/Ti was 8/25, which was calculated by EDX. Photoelectrochemical property of NTN was examined by anodic photocurrent response. Results indicated the photocurrent of NTN was nearly twice as that of non-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays (TN). Photocatalytic activity of NTN was investigated by degrading dye X-3B under visible light. As a result, 99% of X-3B was decomposed by NTN in 105 min, while that of TN was 59%.
