Using ethanol as the carbon source, a series of Ti³⁺ and carbon co-doped TiO₂ samples were successfully synthesized by an innovative and simple vacuum activation method in a one-step process. The Ti³⁺ self-doped TiO₂ featured a high visible light photocatalytic activity that improved considerably following subsequent carbon doping modification of the catalyst surface. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, electron spin resonance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The Ti³⁺ and C co-doped TiO₂ catalyst showed a high methyl orange photo-degradation efficiency under visible light irradiation. The doping levels induced by Ti³⁺ and oxygen vacancies were responsible for the improved visible light response of TiO₂. Simultaneously, the surface coverage of graphite on the catalyst could improve the absorption of visible light and migration efficiency of photo-induced electrons. The synergistic effects of Ti³⁺ self-doping and graphite coverage led to the improved visible light photocatalytic activity of Ti³⁺ and C co-doped TiO₂.
