Mesoporous nanocrystalline TiO2-xNx and TiO2-xNx/ZrO2 visible-light photocatalysts have been prepared by a sol-gel method. The photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, TEM, XPS, UV/Vis, and IR spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the samples was evaluated by the decomposition of ethylene in air under visible light (lambda > 450 nm) illumination. Results revealed that nitrogen was doped into the lattice of TiO2 by the thermal treatment of NH3-adsorbed TiO2 hydrous gels, converting the TiO2 into a visible-light responsive catalyst. The introduction of ZrO2 into TiO2-xNx considerably inhibits the undesirable crystal growth during calcination. Consequently, the ZrO2-modified TiO2-xNx displays higher porosity, higher specific surface area, and an improved thermal stability over the corresponding unmodified TiO2-xNx samples.
采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了介孔纳米晶TiO2-xNx和TiO2-xNx/ZrO2可见光光催化剂。通过XRD、N2吸附-脱附、TEM、XPS、UV/Vis和IR光谱对光催化剂进行了表征。在可见光（λ>450nm）照射下，通过空气中乙烯的分解来评价样品的光催化活性。结果表明，通过对吸附NH3的TiO2水凝胶进行热处理，氮被掺杂到TiO2晶格中，将TiO2转化为可见光响应催化剂。将ZrO2引入TiO2-xNx中可显著抑制煅烧过程中不希望的晶体生长。因此，与相应的未改性TiO2-xNx样品相比，ZrO2改性的TiO2-xNx具有更高的孔隙率、更高的比表面积和更好的热稳定性。
