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 TiO 2 nanoparticles under UV-light irradiation. The catalytic quantities of N-doped TiO 2 prepared by a simple modified sol–gel process with urea as nitrogen source rapidly reduced o -nitrophenol to the correspo...

Summary:The photocatalytic synthesis of o -aminophenol in methanol was investigated with N-doped TiO 2 nanoparticles under UV-light irradiation. The catalytic quantities of N-doped TiO 2 prepared by a simple modified sol–gel process with urea as nitrogen source rapidly reduced o -nitrophenol to the corresponding amine at room temperature.
