Synthesis of Ti3+self-doped TiO2with high stability is very necessary to understand the role of Ti3+defects in photocatalytic process. In this study, we report a simple strategy for preparing stable Ti3+self-doped TiO2nanowires with Ti2O3as precursors. Raman and XPS spectrum confirmed the existence of Ti3+and oxygen vacancies. Compared with the pure TiO2, the photocatalytic activity of the Ti3+self-doped TiO2enhanced under UV light irradiation, however, neither pure TiO2nor the self-dope TiO2samples exhibit photocatalytic activity while irradiated under visible light, though the self-doped TiO2have an enhanced absorption in visible region. On the basis of the experimental results, the possible mechanism of Ti3+in photocatalytic process is proposed.
