title: Facile synthesis of carbon-doped mesoporous anatase TiO₂ for the enhanced visible-light driven photocatalysis.
abstract: Here we report a low-cost and facile synthesis approach for carbon-doped mesoporous anatase TiO2 by using Ti(BuO)4 as a source for both Ti and carbon through xerogel carbonization in a hypoxic atmosphere. The resultant mesoporous C-TiO2 with high crystallinity exhibits excellent photocatalytic activities for degradation of methyl orange (MO) and phenol under visible light irradiation.
