N-TiO 2: Chemical synthesis and photocatalysis

The chemical synthesis of nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide (N-TiO 2) is explored in an attempt to understand the mechanisms of doping. Urea is used as precursor in a sol gel synthesis of N-TiO 2. Chemical and structural changes during thermal treatment of the precursors were followed by several techn...
