摘要
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has attracted enormous interest in abundant photocatalytic reactions, but its photocatalytic efficiency is limited by its wide bandgap and the rapid recombination of electron-hole pairs. To overcome the disadvantages of its rapid electron-hole recombination rate, herein, oxidative TiO2 was one-step fabricated using potassium permanganate (KMnO4), exhibiting improved charge separation efficiency and photocatalytic degradation performance towards methyl orange (MO). Remarkably, the first-order photodegradation rate of oxidative TiO2 is 3.68 times higher than that of pristine TiO2 under the irradiation of simulated sunlight and 2.15 times higher under ultraviolet light. This exceptional photocatalytic activity is attributed to the additional oxygen doped into the interstices of the TiO2 lattice, creating impurity states in the bandgap acting as trapping sites, thus facilitating charge separation. This work provides a promising strategy for the insertion of O atoms into the TiO2 lattice and expands the photocatalytic application of the related materials.
