     exploring novel titania-based semiconductor photocatalysts with both high specific surface area and expanded visible light response is still a challenge. in this work, we report the first synthesis of mesoporous nitrogen-modified titania by a facile and convenient exfoliation–reassembling strategy. ethylamine is used for the delamination of layered titanate, and meanwhile, also serves as a source of nitrogen. x-ray diffraction patterns and transmission electron microscopy images reveal that the random reassembling between titanate nanosheets and anatase nanoparticles give rise to its porous structure. n2 adsorption–desorption isotherms demonstrate that the obtained photocatalyst is fairly high in specific surface area and in mesoporosity (sbet of ∼215 m2 g−1 and pore size of ∼5.6 nm) for effective photocatalysis. the mesoporous titania photocatalyst possesses an extended absorption in the visible region due to the successful modification by nhx species, which is confirmed using the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis, combined with the fourier-transform infrared spectra. photocatalytic tests reveal that the mesoporous nitrogen-modified titania material show an excellent catalytic performance for the degradation of organic compounds under visible light irradiation, which is much higher than those of the commercial p25, pristine protonic titanate, and n-doped mesoporous titania photocatalyst prepared from a template-free route. the present work provides a new way to develop efficient nitrogen-modified oxides materials with high specific surface area and enhanced visible light absorption for solar energy utilization.
