Abstract: We prepared TiO2(anatase) and Sn-doped TiO2 nanoparticlate film by Plasma enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition(PECVD) method. XR-Dand XP-Sexperiments showed that Sn was doped into the lattice of TiO2 with a ratio of n-(Sn): n-(Ti)=1:10. Sn-doping largely enhanced the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 film for phenol degradation. The enhancement in photoactivity by doping was discussed, based on the characterization with AFM, FTIRand EFISPS. Sn-doping produced localized level of Sn 4+ in the band gap of TiO2, about 0.4 eVbelow the conduction band, which could capture photogenerated electrons and reduce O2 adsorbed on the surface of TiO2 film, thus accelerated the photocatalytic reaction.
