In this paper, titanate nanowires were successfully synthesized under milder condintion (130 oC, NaOH 10 mol/L, 24 h) in rotating autoclave instead of using normal hydrothermal method (240 oC, NaOH 15 mol/L, 72 h) [4,5]. Nitridation of the assynthesized material was carried out under NH3 flows at different temperature, and the samples achieved obvious visible light response. From the titanate nanowire precursor resulted N-doped TiO2 nanowires showed high activity for degradation of methylic orange under visible light. The crystalline structure of the titanate nanowires and TiO2 nanowires were determined by XRD before and after nitridation. It has been confirmed from the XRD patterns that the titanate nanowires turned into TiO2 nanowires after nitridation, and no TiN peaks were found. Based on TEM and SEM images, the nanowire structures on the NH3-treated samples was well kept at as high temperature as 600 oC, then destroyed thoroughly at temperatures higher than 700 oC and turned into nanoparticles.

It was supposed that the incorporation of N from NH3 to titanate nanotubes caused a H2O formation, which promoted the rearrangement of titanate, which converted finally into anatase TiO2 due to loss of water at high temperatures. Additionally, the rearrangement of inorganic framework accelerated N incorporation vice versa because of the different space matrix between titanate and TiO2. The photocatalytic behavior for degradation of methylic orange was investigated under a 125 W super-highpressure Hg lamps (mail λ =420 nm). The maximal conversion of 100 %, has been achieved at room temperature under stirring (200 ml 20 mg/l methylic orange aqueous solution and 0.1 g catalyst powder, 2 h), much higher than 20 % on the N-doped TiO2 (P25) catalyst. The better photocatalytic activity should be attributed to the delocalization and prolonged lifetime of photogenerated charge carriers on nanowires. : Tenth International Symposium on Heterogeneous Catalysis : From : 22/8/1429 AH - To : 26/8/1429 AH From : 23/8/2008 AD - To : 27/8/2008 AD : 1429 AH 2008 AD : Article : Sunday, February 15, 2009 Researchers Researcher Name Researcher Name Researcher Dr Email (Arabic) (English) Type Grade Aimin Yu Aimin Yu Researcher Doctorate Peng Wu Peng Wu Researcher Doctorate Fuxiang Zhang Fuxiang Zhang Researcher Doctorate Guangjun Wu Guangjun Wu Researcher Doctorate Xiaohong Sun Yali Yang Naijia Guan Xiaohong Sun Yali Yang Naijia Guan Researcher Doctorate Researcher Doctorate Researcher Doctorate Files File Name 18343.pdf Type pdf Deanship of Information Technology - King Abdulaziz University.
