Photocatalytic activity of N-doped TiO2: photocatalytic synthesis of o-aminophenol at room temperature
The photocatalytic synthesis of o-aminophenol in methanol was investigated with N-doped TiO2 nanoparticles under UV-light irradiation. The catalytic quantities of N-doped TiO2 prepared by a simple modified sol-gel process with urea as nitrogen source rapidly reduced o-nitrophenol to the corresponding amine at room temperature.
