A series of dye-modified TiO 2 photocatalysts were synthesized using dye Chrysoidine G (CG), tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI), and commercial TiO 2 (Degussa P25) as starting materials. TDI was used as a bridging molecule whose two -NCO groups reacted with Ti-OH of TiO 2 and -NH 2 groups of CG, respec

β¦ Synopsis
Photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation was generated by doping a small amount of Co 2+ ions into TiO 2 particles. Nanometer-sized particles with the composition xCoO-(100x) TiO 2 (xCo/TiO 2 ; 0 β€ x β€ 6.0) were prepared from TiOSO 4 β’ 4.5H 2 O and Co(CH 3 COO) 2 β’ 4H 2 O in an ethanol-water solution containing NaOH under reflux. The photoreactivity of xCo/TiO 2 was evaluated by the rate of CH 3 CHO degradation. The Co 2+ ion doping (0.01 β€ x β€ 0.27) not only enhanced the photocatalytic activity under ultraviolet-visible (Ξ» > 300 nm) light irradiation but also induced the visible light (Ξ» > 400 nm) response. The highest photocatalytic activities were obtained at x = 0.03 for both irradiations.

## Abstract A photocatalyst, TiO~2βx~N~y~/AC (activated carbon (AC) supported Nβdoped TiO~2~), highly active in both the Vis and UV range, was prepared by calcination of the TiO~2~ precursor prepared by acidβcatalyzed hydrolysis in an ammonia atmosphere. The powders were characterized by diffuse re
