Induced Ti3+ doping nano TiO1.95 for visible light photooxidation of Rhodamine B based on the peroxo titanic precursor

Abstract Induced Ti 3+ doped TiO 1.95 was successfully synthesized using peroxo titanic complex (PTC) as precursor via one pot synthetic method. The final shuttle-like shape particles was certified to be TiO 1.95 supported by the standard XRD diffraction. UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra showed a 2.54 eV band gap of the TiO 1.95 sample. Visible light photooxidation to Rhodamine B using TiO 1.95 were tested compared with the commercial P25. The sample exhibited obviously higher visible light responding characteristic.
