Abstract: F-doped TiO2 photocatalyst was prepared by sol-gel method with NH4F as dopant.The catalyst was characterized by XRD,XPS,and PL.It was found that the phase formation of rutile was suppressed by F-doping due to the formation of Ti-F ligand.Moreover,the surface defect of TiO2 was increased while the binding energy of Ti2P was decreased by F-doping.It was also found that the surface OOH concentration was decreased by F-doping due to the F ions replacing Ti-OH bond.The results of photocatalytic reaction indicated that the photocatalytic activity of F-doped TiO2 was 1.5 times higher than that of undoped TiO2.

Key words: TiO2, photocatalysis, F-doping, NH4F
