Popis: S-doped TiO2 samples were synthesized by use of thiourea. The elemental analysis was confirmed by X-ray fluorescence, the phases were identified by X-ray diffraction and further characterization was carried out by surface area measurement and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity was measured by exposing methylene blue to sunlight in the presence of TiO2. It was observed that the S-doped anatase phase showed high photocatalytic activity in comparison to other samples.
