Improving the photocatalytic activity and the utilization of visible light of TiO₂ is the most important research topics in the photocatalytic field. To improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂, we used chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to dope TiO₂ nanotubes with fluorine. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that the annealing temperature significantly affected the morphological integrity of TiO₂ nanotubes. Upon annealing at 550 and 700 °C, the structure of F-doped TiO₂ nanotubes suffered from an observable disintegration of morphological integrity. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that the F impurity retarded the anatase-rutile phase transition. Fluorine was successfully doped into TiO₂ by CVD, as indicated by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results. F-doped TiO₂ nanotubes showed higher photocatalytic activity. First-principles calculations suggested that the F 2p states were located in the lower-energy range of valence band (VB) and less mixed with O 2p states. It thus contributed little to the reduction of the optical band gap. This is consistent with the finding that the band gap of F-doped TiO₂ is very close to that of undoped TiO₂. Therefore, the higher catalytic activity of F-doped TiO₂ should be attributed to the creation of surface oxygen vacancies upon F-doping, which enhances surface acidity and increases the amount of Ti³⁺ ions.
