摘要: A one pot gel combustion synthetic strategy has been developed for the first time towards rapid formation of self-doped black anatase TiO2−x (BAT) using titanium butoxide, diethylene glycol (DEG) and water as only precursors. This swiftly formed nanoplatform was occupied with a high concentration surface defect sites, especially Ti3+ oxygen vacancy sites in excess. The (lattice) out (surface) states were confirmed by Raman, XPS TEM analysis. These defect-enriched features enabled 33% more photocatalytic activity BAT than commercially available photocatalyst Degussa-P25 under solar illumination.
