A visible-light photoactive photocatalyst was synthesized successfully by means of cogrinding of anatase- in ambient, followed by heat-treatment at in air environment. In general, it is well known that the grinding-operation induces phase transformation of a- to rutile . This study investigates the influence of the amount of gas on the phase transformation rate of a- and enhancement of visible-light photocatalytic activity, and also examines the relation between the photocatalytic activity and the period of grinding time. The phase transformation rate of a- to rutile is retarded with the amount of NH3 injected. And the visible-light photocatalytic activity of samples, was more closely related to the period of grinding time than amount injected, which means that the doping amount of nitrogen into more effective to mechanical energy than amount injected. XRD, XPS, FT-IR, UV-vis, Specific surface area (SSA), NOx decomposition techniques are employed to verify above results more clearly.

Nano-sized TiO2-60 wt% SrO composite powders were synthesized by a sol-gel method using titanium isopropoxide and Sr(OH)2 · 8H2O as precursors. 3, -5, -7 wt%Ag spot-coated TiO2-60 wt% SrO composite powders were synthesized by a Ag electroless deposition method using TiO2-60 wt% SrO composite powders calcined at 1050˚C, which mainly exhibited the SrTiO3phase. However, a small number of rutile TiO2, Sr2TiO4 and SrO2 phases were also detected. In the Ag spot-coated powders synthesized by electroless deposition, nano-sized particles about 5-25 nm in diameter adhered to the TiO2-60 wt% SrO composite powders. The photocatalytic activity of Ag spot-coated TiO2-SrO and TiO2-SrO composite powders for degradation of phenol showed that all of TiO2-SrO composite powders were highly active under UV light irradiation. 7 wt%Ag spot-coated TiO2-60wt.%SrO composite powders had a relatively higher photocatalytic activity than did TiO2-SrO composite powders under visible light.
