Abstract Ti3+, C, and N co-doped TiO2@ nitrogen doped graphene quantum dots (Ti3+/C/N-TiO2@NGQDs) nanocomposite photocatalyst was prepared by a two-step hydrothermal method and characterized in detail by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and its visible photocatalytic performance was studied by degrading methyl orange solution. The results showed that TiO2 was successfully co-doped with Ti3+, C, and N, and nano NGQDs adhered to the co-doped TiO2. The first-order kinetic rate constant for degradation of methyl orange by Ti3+/C/N-TiO2@NGQDs was 25.7 times, 4.7 times, and 1.7 times that of pure TiO2, C/N-TiO2, and C/N-TiO2@NGQDs, respectively. The enhanced visible light catalytic performance was attributed to its stronger visible light absorption and faster photoinduced charge transfer and separation efficiency. Superoxide radicals and photogenerated holes were key active substances during methyl orange degradation by Ti3+/C/N-TiO2@NGQDs composite photocatalysts. In addition, Ti3+/C/N-TiO2@NGQDs had very high stability. This TiO2-based composite photocatalyst will have practical applications for wastewater treatment.
