Abstract
⺠Sn2+ ions sensitize titanate nanotubes for photocatalysis under visible-light illumination. ⺠The Sn 5s orbital replaces the O 2p orbital as the top level of the valence band of titanates. ⺠The presence of Sn2+ lifts the valence band of titanate nanotubes by approximately 0.9 eV. ⺠The doped Sn2+ sites are active in donating photo-induced charges to dye degradation.
