Enhanced Visible Light Photocatalytic Activity for TiO2 Nanotube Array Films by Codoping with Tungsten and Nitrogen by Min Zhang, Juan Wu, DanDan Lu, Jianjun Yang

“…It was found that N in codoped TNAs exists in the forms of Ti-N-O, while W exists as W6+ by substituting Ti in the lattice of TiO2. In the meantime, W and N codoping successfully extends the absorption of TNAs into the whole visible light region and results in remarkably enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation. …”
