Fabrication of Z-Type TiN@(A,R)TiO₂ Plasmonic Photocatalyst with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity.

ABSTRACT: Plasmonic effect-enhanced Z-type heterojunction photocatalysts comprise a promising solution to the two fundamental problems of current TiO₂-based photocatalysis concerning low-charge carrier separation efficiency and low utilization of solar illumination. A plasmonic effect-enhanced TiN@anatase-TiO₂/rutile-TiO₂ Z-type heterojunction photocatalyst with the strong interface of the N-O chemical bond was synthesized by hydrothermal oxidation of TiN. The prepared photocatalyst shows desirable visible light absorption and good visible-light-photocatalytic activity. The enhancement in photocatalytic activities contribute to the plasma resonance effect of TiN, the N-O bond-connected charge transfer channel at the TiO₂/TiN heterointerface, and the synerg
