Abstract

Environmentally friendly soft chemical processes, including solvothermal/hydrothermal process and mechanochemical process, for the synthesis of mixed anion type visible-light induced photocatalysts are introduced in this review paper. Titania and strontium titanate based anion doped photocatalysts can be effectively prepared at such low-temperature as below 200 °C. Especially, the mechanochemical process is a useful method for the synthesis of various mixed ions doping functional materials at low temperatures. The mixed anion type photocatalytic compounds consisted of N/O, N/F/O, S/O, N/C/O, show excellent visible light absorption ability and photocatalytic activities, indicating the potential applications in environmental purifications. Full-spectra active long wavelength light induced photocatalyst, full-time active photocatalyst system and infrared radiation (IR) shielding multifunctional photocatalysts will be introduced also.
