Fabrication of Visible-light Responsive N-doped TiO2 Nanothin Films via a Top-down Sol-gel Deposition Method Using NH4TiOF3 Single Crystals
We report a novel coating method for TiO2 anatase thin-film fabrication via a top-down sol-gel deposition method using NH4TiOF3 single crystals. A cationic nitrogen-rich porphyrin compound was used to fabricate N-doped TiO2 nanofilms that showed highly efficient photocatalytic activity under visiblelight irradiation.
