The ability to construct porous TiO2 with controlled particle size and narrowed bandgap is an essential requirement for the design of highly efficient and recyclable photocatalysts. Here, we report a template- free acetic acid induced method for the synthesis of visible- light responsive carbon-doped TiO2 microplates with high crystallinity and mesoporous structure. It is shown that the electron-withdrawing bidentate carboxylate ligands derived from acetic acid can narrow the bandgap of TiO2 （1.84 eV） substantially. Moreover, the resultant microplate photo- catalysts exhibit excellent photocatalytic efficiency and solid-liquid separation performance, which will be bene- ficial for future industrial applications.展开更多
