A novel visible light active photocatalyst is synthesized by doping TiO₂ with multiple dopants like Nb,N and S. TiO₂ exists as anatase phase and the particle size is in the range of 10 – 25 nm. A significant red shift of the absorption edge and increased visible light absorption is shown by multidoped TiO₂ compared to undoped TiO₂. The tri-doped TiO₂ has the highest activity for the photodegradation of methyl orange and the activity shows the order: 0.6NbNS – TiO₂>P25>0.6Nb–TiO₂>NS–TiO₂>pristine TiO₂. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of tri-doped TiO₂ is due to the reduction of band gap and enhancement of lifetime of photogenerated charge carriers. This multidoped catalyst is found to be stable and only a marginal decrease in the activity is observed upto 3 cycles. Experiments with quenchers suggest that all super oxide, hydroxyl radicals and photogenerated holes are active species for the oxidation reaction.
