Visible light-activated N-F-codoped TiO2 nanoparticles for the photocatalytic…

Abstract. In this study, we developed nonmetal-doped TiO2 nanoparticles (N-F-TiO2) by a novel synthesis route employing a simple sol–gel method containing a nonionic fluorosurfactant as pore template material to tailor-design the structural properties of TiO2 and fluorine dopant as well as ethylenediamine as nitrogen source for the photocatalytic response towards visible light. The synthe…
