Synthesis and characterization of N-doped carbonaceous/TiO2 composite photoanodes for visible-light photoelectrocatalytic inactivation of Escherichia coli K-12

- The N-C/TiO2 photoanodes were fabricated by hydrothermal-calcination approach.
- Hydrothermal temperature had significant effect on the structure and PEC activity.
- E. coli could be completely PEC inactivated within 30 min under VL irradiation.
- High PEC activity was due to synergistic effect between N-C species and TiO2.
