- Abstract
Hemisphere-like F-doped anatase TiO has been synthesized by hydrothermal treatment of TiF aqueous solution in the presence of starch at 130 °C for 10 h, and then calcined at 450 °C for 2.5 h in air. The as-synthesized product has been investigated by photocatalytic reaction test and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS). The results showed that fluorine was successfully doped into the TiO hemispheres. The F-doped TiO hemispheres showed high visible light activity in degradation of acid orange II, which could be attributed to the creation of oxygen vacancies and good crystallinity.
