It was found that hydrogenation at T≥900℃ remarkably enhanced the UV photocatalytic ability of STO, but the visible-light photocatalysis was still unavailable, while ammoniation at T≥800℃ introduced the N doping, resulting in visible-light photocat- alytie activity. Furthermore, when a hydrogenated STO was subjected to ammoniation, the visible-light photocatalytie ability was nearly the same as that of the ammoniated one; but the hydrogenation of an ammoniated one significantly enhanced visible-light photoeatalysis, indicating a synergetic effect of hydrogenation and ammoniation.
