Abstract
Visible light-activated photocatalysts (based on doped titania) are the subject of intensive current research due to the promise they offer in relation to solar powered systems for photocatalysis, hybrid systems for $CO_2$ conversion and hydrogen production from water. Current synthetic methodologies suffer from one or more serious shortcomings, which seriously hinder practical application. These include high cost, irreproducibility, difficulty in controlling the dopant level and unsuitability for scale up. In this review new reproducible and controllable methods (developed by Lambert group, Cambridge University) allowing the synthesis of practical quantities of efficient, visible light active anion (e.g. N, C and B) doped $TiO_2$ photocatalysts are summarized.
