Different from many works which focus on doping to improve the visible light absorption and the photocatalytic activity of TiO2, this work finds that the N-doped rutile TiO2 nano-rods have tunable photocatalytic selectivity. This finding was confirmed by the photo-degradation of azo dyes. Results reveal that pure rutile TiO2 mainly exhibit no selectivity in the photocatalytic degradation of a methylene blue and methyl orange (MO) mixed solution, whereas N-doped rutile TiO2 exhibits photocatalytic selectivity for MO. N doping has been shown to greatly change the surface state than the energy band structure of TiO2. In a deeper analysis, some doped N atoms replace surface saturated O-3c on the {110} facets of rutile TiO2 and act as unsaturated N-3c, which enhances adsorbent selectivity and relevant photocatalytic activity of MO. This research hopes that by providing a deeper understanding of non-metal doping in TiO2, a new strategy for photocatalytic selectivity can be developed. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
