The nitrogen-doped nanocomposite based on TiO₂ nanoparticles and HTi₂NbO₇ nanosheets was success-fully synthesized by the following procedures:Layered CsTi₂NbO₇ was firstly prepared by high temperature solid-state method, and then treated with HNO₃ solution to obtain layered HTi₂NbO₇ by proton-exchange reaction. The resulted layered HTi₂NbO₇ was well dispersed in tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH) solution in order to prepare HTi₂NbO₇ nanosheets by exfoliation reaction and then freeze-dried treatment. Finally, to prepare nitrogen-doped TiO₂/HTi₂NbO₇ nanosheets (denoted as N-TTN) nanocomposites, the mixtures of the freeze-dried HTi₂NbO₇ nanosheets and titanium(Ⅳ) isopropoxide were calcinated in the presence of urea as N source. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoelectrochemical properties measurements, UV-Vis spectroscopy as well as N₂ adsorption-desorption measurements. It was found that anatase TiO₂ nanoparticles were well-distributed on the surface of HTi₂NbO₇ nanosheets, resulting in the formation of heterojunction structure between two components. The photocatalytic activities of samples were evaluated by the photodegradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. It indicated that the resultant N-TTN nanocomposite showed a highest photocatalytic activity toward the degradation of RhB, owing to the synergistic effects of nitrogen doping, the formation of heterojunction, increased specific surface area and rich mesoporous structure.
