Nitrogen Incorporation in TiO2: Does It Make a Visible Light Photo-Active Material?

The possibility of hydrogen production by photo-catalytic decomposition of water on titania has provided the incentive for intense research. Titania is the preferred semiconductor for this process, in spite of its large band gap (~3.2 eV) that restricts its utility only in the UV region. Various s...
