Abstract:
Using TiCl
4,O
2 and NH
3 as the precursors,N-doped titanium dioxide films were prepared by APCVD.According to the results from SEM,X-ray diffraction(XRD) and the UV-VIS absorption spectrum,it is found that a new phase of Ti
4O
7 is formed in the thin film after nitrogen doping and the crystal transformation from anatase to rutile is inhibited.As well,a red drift of the absorption edge from 365.8nm to 402.6nm exists in the N-doped TiO
2 films and the visible-light induced photocatalysis and hydrophilicity are both enhanced.
