Research progress of Fe/C doped titanium dioxide visible light photocatalytic materials

Abstract

Abstract Titanium dioxide (TiO2), as a wide gap semiconductor photocatalytic material, has the characteristics of non-toxic, low cost and excellent catalytic activity. It is widely used as photocatalytic materials. Much efforts have been devoted to the Fe/C doping for TiO2 to improve its visible light response. This work reviews the research progress of Fe/C doped titanium dioxide visible light photocatalytic materials. The photocatalytic mechanism, preparation methods of doped titanium dioxide have been specifically reviewed. Finally, on the basis of the researches of our team in nonaqueous precipitation method, the preparation of Fe/C doped titanium oxide visible light photocatalytic materials by nonaqueous precipitation method is prospected.
