Abstract

Here we report a low-cost and facile synthesis approach for carbon-doped mesoporous anatase TiO₂ by using Ti(BuO)₄ as a source for both Ti and carbon through xerogel carbonization in a hypoxic atmosphere. The resultant mesoporous C-TiO₂ with high crystallinity exhibits excellent photocatalytic activities for degradation of methyl orange (MO) and phenol under visible light irradiation.
