Abstract
⺠Mechanism of N-doping on the visible light photocatalytic activity of TiO2 has been investigated. ⺠The effect of increasing temperature on the nature of the band gap is investigated. ⺠The N-doped titania samples prepared at 500 °C showed the highest amount of photocatalytic activity compared to the control TiO2 and Degussa P25. ⺠The interaction between nitrogen dopant sources and titania precursors during sol-gel synthesis is studied. ⺠The anatase-to-rutile transition is mainly dependant on the nature of the dopant precursors employed.
