Nitrogen doped $TiO_2$ photocatalysts were prepared by ammonia for exploring the visible light photocatalytic activity. To explore the visible light photocatalytic activity of the nitrogen doped $TiO_2$ photocatalyst, the removal of methylene blue dye was investigated under the sunlight. SEM images showed that the flocculated particle sizes of N-doped $TiO_2$ decreased due to the reaction with ammonia. XRD patterns demonstrated that the samples calcined at temperatures up to $600^{\circ}C$ and doped with nitrogen using ammonia clearly showed rutile as well as anatase peaks. The XPS results showed that the nitrogen composition onto $TiO_2$ increased according to the reaction time with ammonia. Photocatalytic activity of the nitrogen doped $TiO_2$ was better than that of undoped $TiO_2$. Nitrogen doping onto the $TiO_2$ also affected the crystal type of $TiO_2$ photocatalyst.

Ta-doped thin films were deposited on quartz and indium-tin oxide glass substrates using a co-sputtering method. The Ta-doped films formed a solid solution that induced structural changes from rutile to anatase phase. The anodic photocurrents of the Ta-doped $TiO_2$ electrodes were observed not only in UV but also in the visible light range. The photocurrent response in visible light on Ta-doped $TiO_2$ films are due to bandgap reduction.

본 연구에서는 고주파 마그네트론 스퍼터링방법을 사용하여 ITO박막을 대체할 수 있는 새로운 TCO박막으로서 $TiO_2$가 도핑된 ZnO(TZO) 박막을 성막하였다. 이때, $TiO_2$의 도핑량을 1wt.%에서 5wt.%까지 변화를 주었으며 제작된 TZO 박막에 대해서 전기적 특성과 광학적 특성들의 조성비와 박막두께의 할수로서 조사하였다. 그 결과, $TiO_2$가 2wt.% 도핑된 박막에서 가장 낮은 $1\times10^{-3}\Omega{\cdot}cm$의 비저항이 얻어졌으며, $TiO_2$의 도핑량이 증가함에 따라 비저항은 점점 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와같은 비저항의 변화는 $TiO_2$도핑량이 다른 TZO박막의 홀이동도(Hall mobility)에 비례하며, 이동도는 결국 TZO박막을 형성하고 있는 결정립의 크기에 의존하는 것이 X선 회절 패턴으로부터 확인되었다. XRD 패턴에서 ZnO(002) 방향의 결정성이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 도핑량이 증가할수록(002)피크의 크기가 점점 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있다. 이는 결정성의 크기가 2wt.%일 때 가장 크며 도핑량이 증가할수록 결정성의 크기가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 결정립의 크기변화는 TZO박막의 전기적 이동도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타난다. 즉, 2wt.%일 때 이동도가 가장 크며 도핑량이 증가할수록, 이동도가 감소하였으며 이결과는 TZO박막의 Hall effect 측정으로부터 확인된다. 따라서, $TiO_2$도핑량에 따른 TZO 박막의 비저항을 도핑량이 2wt.%일 때 가장 낮으며 이는 TZO 박막의 결정성이 가장 우수하였으며 그결과 이동도가 증가했기 때문인 것으로 확인되었다.

In this study, the fluorine doped $TiO_2$ was prepared as a photoelectrode in order to improve the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells and estimated the electrochemical characterizations. The energy conversion efficiency of the prepared dye-sensitized solar cells using fluorine doped $TiO_2$ was calculated from a current-voltage curve. The efficiency of prepared dye-sensitized solar cells was improved by about maximum three times by F-doping on $TiO_2$. It was suggested that the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells was improved by hybrid semiconductors of $TiO_2/TiOF_2$ in photoelectrode based on reduced $TiOF_2$ energy level via fluorine doping. It can be confirmed that the electron transport was faster but the electron recombination was slower by doping fluorine on $TiO_2$ in photoelectrode through intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy and intensity-modulated photovoltage spectroscopy analysis.

본 연구에서는 Ta이 도핑된 $TiO_2$와 $Au/TiO_2$ nanocomposite 박막을 co-sputtering법으로 제작하였다. Ta-doped $TiO_2$ 박막은 금흥석(rutile)에서 아나타제 상으로 변하는 구조를 유도하는 고용체를 형성했다. $Au/TiO_2$ nanocomposite film의 경우에는, 지름이 약 15 nm인 Au particles들이 $TiO_2$ matrix에 균질하게 분포되었다. Ta가 도핑된 $TiO_2$ 전극과 $Au/TiO_2$ 나노 콤포사이트 전극의 anodic photocurrents가 UV뿐만 아니라 가시광선 영역에서도 관찰되었다. Ta이 도핑된 $TiO_2$ 전극과 $Au/TiO_2$ 나노 콤포사이트 사이의 가시광선 영역에서 photoresponse는 계면 상태로 부터의 bandgap의 감소와 전자의 photoexcitation 때문이다.

Nanotubular $TiO_2$ prepared by electrochemical anodization has been significantly used for various applications due to high aspect ratio structures showing a high chemical stability. Morphological properties of nanotubular titanium oxide are easily tailored by adjusting types and compositions of electrolyte, pH value, applied voltage, temperature and anodization time. Since their catalytic properties can be enhanced by doping foreign elements into $TiO_2$, metal as well as non-metal elements are doped into $TiO_2$ nanotubes using different methods. For example, single anodization, thermal annealing, precipitation, and electrochemical deposition have been applied to simplify the doping process. In this review, anodization of Ti to produce $TiO_2$ and doping methods will be discussed in detail.

Visible-light-responding photocatalysts, $N-TiO_2$, were prepared by nitrogen doping onto $TiO_2$. The crystalline structure and morphology, doping state of the prepared photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, and XPS. The activity of the prepared photocatalysts was examined by the decomposition of methyleneblue. The prepared catalysts were anatase type and the crystallinity was increased with pH. The particle sizes of the prepared catalysts were 5.42, 5.99, 7.58 nm at pH 2.2, 4.7, 9.0, respectively. The particle sizes of the prepared catalysts were slightly increased with pH. The activity of the photocatalysts was directly proportional to the crystallinity of the catalysts. $N-TiO_2$ prepared by nitrogen doping onto $TiO_2$ showed activity under visible light. The doped nitrogen was located not in the lattice but on the surface.

Photocatalytic properties of nitrogen doped titanium dioxide were investigated. Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under UV and visible light was carried out to characterize N-doped $TiO_2$. The result of XPS indicated that nitrogen atoms substitute for oxygen sites within the crystal structure of $TiO_2$. In the UV-Vis DRS spectra, N-doped amorphous $TiO_2$ absorbed UV light with little absorption of visible light, while the absorption of visible light of amorphous/anatase $TiO_2$ remarkably increased. Methylene blue photocatalytic degradation appeared by the irradiation of UV or visible light onto the N-doped anatase phase of $TiO_2$. However, the degradation rate of visible light was lower than that of UV light. The photocatalytic degradation rate of the amorphous/anatase $TiO_2$ sample was higher than that of the anatase $TiO_2$. These results indicate that the high surface area of amorphous/anatase $TiO_2$ sample, which was about three times larger than those of the anatase $TiO_2$ sample, may be related to small particles of N-doped anatase $TiO_2$.
