Table 3

Typical photocatalytic studies reported on N-substituted TiO2.

S. NoPhoto-catalytic studies on N–TiO2Reference

1Photo-activity using stearic acid, no visible-light-induced activity[27]
2Photo degradation of Phenol N–TiO2, anatase is higher[55]
3Degradation of methylene blue, no specific trend with respect to nitrogen substitution[30, 39, 45, 46]
4Photo-degradation of methyl orange[48, 53, 58]
5Photodecomposition of isopropyl alcohol[52, 75]
6Photo-electrochemical decomposition of water[52]
7Degradation of ethylene glycol[76]
8Decomposition of 2-chlorophenol[14, 23]
9Decomposition of VOC and Rhodamine B[29]
10Decomposition of acetaldehyde[6]
