Abstract A simple wet chemical method was developed to synthesize visible-light-driven titanate-TiO2 rod-like composites using ethylenediaminetetraacetic disodium salt (EDTA-Na2) as both template-directed modifier and nitrogen doping source. The synthesized heterojunctions exhibited both enhanced adsorption ability and photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye under visible light irradiation. EDTA-Na2 was found to alter the condensation pathway of the titanium precursor. This study also identified the different loading effects of EDTA-Na2 on the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation. O2− was the dominant radical for MB photodegradation.
