A simple solvothermal approach with post-calcination is used to obtain (Ag, Ag2O) co-loaded TiO2 microspheres with high specific surface area (43.8 m(2)g(-1)) and desirable visible light photocatalytic degradation (64% after 2 h visible light irradiation). Generally, N-doping of TiO2 via nitridation using NH3 improves the visible light absorption property of material. However, nitridation of (Ag, Ag2O) co-loaded TiO2 results in a deleterious impact on the photocatalytic performance (around 20% after 2 h visible light irradiation). This is because nitridation of Ag-Ag2O-TiO2 results in (a) reduction of Ag2O to Ag and (b) Ag agglomeration and grain growth on TiO2 particles. These results in fact imply that in as-synthesized (Ag, Ag2O) co-loaded TiO2 systems, local surface plasmonic resonance (associated with of 5-12 nm Ag particles) aids in enhanced broad band visible light absorption; furthermore the heterojunction between TiO2 and Ag2O improves efficiency with which photogenerated carriers become available for photo catalysis. In all cases we show through selective radical quenching experiments that singlet oxygen is the primary reason for the dye degradation observed. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
