Abstract: The structure and photocatalytic activity of the TiO2 prepared from the treatment of nanotubed titanic acid (NTA) in CO was investigated.The results showed that when NTA was treated in CO at high temperature,the carbon doping in product TiO2 did not appear,only carbon deposition on TiO2 appeared;the BET areas of the products decreased markedly with the increase of treating temperature;The transformation temperature from anatase to rutile for TiO2 obtained by CO treatment was much lower than thatobtained by air treatment.The TiO2 obtained by CO treatment of NTA were inert in photocatalytic activity under visible-light irradiation,but active under UV-light irradiation,while the UV light photocatalytic activity decreased with the increase of the treating temperature in CO atmosphere.

Key words: CO, nanotubed titanic acid (NTA), photocatalysis, carbon deposition, crystalline form change
