Ultrasound assisted synthesis of visible light responsive Nitrogen doped TiO_2 nano photocatalyst

摘要

The present study is an attempt to synthesize N-doped TiO_2 nanophotocatalyst using sonochemical method, having photocatalytic activity in the visible region. Non-metal doped nanocatalysts have been successfully synthesized and characterized structurally and physiochemically by using XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, UV-VIS, FT-IR, Raman and PL. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized photocatalyst was investigated for the degradation of 2-CP as model compound. The result confirms the successful synthesis of N- doped photocatalyst with particle size 34 nm having anatase phase and shows new peak in a visible region at 587 nm.
