The catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and electron paramagnetic resonance. The results demonstrated that the nitrogen was substituted for the lattice oxygen atoms, and was also interstitially doped into the TiO2 lattice. The photocatalytic tests indicated that the N1-N2-TiO2 showed the highest photocatalytic activities of all the N-doped TiO2 under visible light, attributing to the synergetic effect of substitutional and interstitial nitrogen of N-doped TiO2.展开更多
