In order to improve light absorption range of TiO₂ and utilization rate of photogenerated carriers, we use B, N co-doping and In₂O₃ blending to modify the TiO₂ photocatalyst. Sample preparation is conducted through polymer precursor method and uniform distribution of the components is ensured. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is added at the beginning of sample preparation and removed during the annealing process at high temperatures. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), high-resolution transmission microscope (HRTEM), specific surface area and pore structure analyzer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy are used to characterize the products obtained. B and N elements have been detected in the lattice of TiO₂. Heterojunction structure of In₂O₃ and TiO₂ are also observed. Formation of Ti-N-B and Ti-O-B structure is exhibited in this system. Interstitial doping of N is also observed. These factors contribute to narrow the band gap from 3.09 eV of P25 to 2.71 eV of IT-500 (the modified sample annealed at 500℃). With the introduction and pyrolysis of porogen PEG, mesoporous structure is successfully constructed. Visible light absorption range has been greatly broadened in this modified TiO₂ based material. Utilization rate of photogenerated carriers has also been enhanced. When the catalyst is used in the photocatalytic hydrogen production experiment, under the irradiation of visible light (>380 nm), hydrogen production rate of IT-500 reaches 5961 μmol·g^-1·h^-1, which is far superior to commercial TiO₂ and most of the TiO₂ prepared by single modification method. The hydrogen production rate is maintained in the 5-circle test after the catalyst is separated and recycled. When the B, N-In₂O₃/TiO₂ polymer precursor is gas sprayed, which uses polyvinylpyrrolidone as spinning aid, ethanol and acetic acid as solvents, nanofiber sponge can be obtained and used for hydrogen production. Hydrogen production rate of this material reaches 1186 μmol·g^-1·h^-1 and keeps 97% after 5-cycle test, which shows high potential for commercial use of this material.
