Improving and exploring the photocatalytic performance of composites for new models continues to pose a challenge. Here, a straightforward thermal dispersion method is achieved by incorporating nitrogen (N) into TiO2 at different weights (1%, 3%, and 5%) to enhance photocatalytic activity. The material properties are analyzed through ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-VIS DRS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results indicate that the NO gas removal efficiency of N-TiO2 photocatalytic materials is higher than that of pure TiO2 after 30 minutes of exposure to visible light. The highest NO gas treatment efficiency of N-TiO2 -1% is 40.4%, with a reaction rate following a first-order kinetic equation of 0.0688 min-1. Successfully fabricating N-TiO2 photocatalytic materials using the thermal dispersion method, with significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance under visible light activation, will benefit practical applications, particularly in the environmental sector.
