Abstract N-doped and oxygen-deficient titanium dioxide was synthesized by heating TiO2 in NH3 atmosphere, followed by the post-calcination in H2 for different time. The physicochemical properties of the products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2-sorption BET surface area, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), elemental analysis (EA), electron spin resonance (ESR), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (UV-vis DRS) and photoluminescence spectrum (PL). The photocatalytic activity of catalysts was determined by the degradation of gas-phase benzene under visible light (λ > 400 nm) irradiation. Effect of the H2 heat-treatment on the photocatalytic performance of the as-prepared catalysts was investigated. The results show that the N-doped TiO2 post-heated in H2 atmosphere for 1 h exhibited the high photocatalytic activity. After photocatalytic oxidation for 5 h, the conversion rate and mineralization rate of benzene over the co-doped catalyst are up to 66.8% and 47.5%, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of the co-doped catalyst is much higher than that of the sums on N-doped TiO2 and oxygen-deficient TiO2. The enhanced photoactivity of the co-doped catalysts is related to a synergistic effect of N dopants and the oxygen vacancies in TiO2 lattice.
