Abstract

We report an template-free process to fabricate S-C-codoped and (I2)n-C-codoped meso/nanoporous TiO2 nanocrystallites. Methylene blue solutions are used as a model pollute to evaluate the sorption and photocatalytic activity of the samples under visible light radiation. The high photocatalytic activity in visible light region of our samples is attributed to numerous oxygen vacancies, large specific surface area and the continuous states in the band gap of TiO2 introduced by I2 or S doping.
