Abstract | Anatase TiO2 microspheres with exposed dominant {001} facets were doped with interstitial boron to have a concentration gradient with the maximum concentration at the surface. They were then further doped with substitutional nitrogen by heating in an ammonia atmosphere at different temperatures from 440 to 560 degrees C to give surface N concentrations ranging from 7.03 to 15.47 at%. The optical absorption, atomic and electronic structures and visible-light photoelectrochemical water oxidation activity of these materials were investigated. The maximum activity of the doped TiO2 was achieved at a nitrogen doping temperature of 520 degrees C that gave a high absorbance over the whole visible light region but with no defect-related background absorption.; Anatase TiO2 microspheres with exposed dominant {001} facets were doped with interstitial boron to have a concentration gradient with the maximum concentration at the surface.
