Effect of F-Doping on the Photocatalytic Activity and Microstructures of Nanocrystalline TiO2 Powders

Abstract

F-doping of TiO2 photocatalysts on the surface and/or in the bulk is usually accompanied with the flexible tuning of the multilevel microstructures, including the crystallographic, textural, surface, and electronic structures, which has been employed to improve the photocatalytic performances by modifying the photocatalytic processes involving light harvesting, reactant adsorption, interfacial charge transfer, etc.
