The starting reagents used to prepare Ti1–xVx(OCH2CH2O)2 were mixtures of coprecipitated titanium and vanadyl hydroxides, which were heated in ethylene glycol at T ≤ 200°C: (1 – x)TiO(OH)2 + xVO(OH)2 + 2HOCH2CH2OH = Ti1–xVx(OCH2CH2O)2 + 3H2O↑. Thermolysis of vanadium doped titanium glycolate in various gas media over a wide range of temperatures is useful to prepare titania samples doped with both vanadium and carbon to form a phase of the general composition Ti1 – xVxO2 – yCy whiskers prepared by thermolyzing Ti1 – xVx(OCH2CH2O)2 in air at 450°C were found to have a high photocatalytic activity in hydroquinone oxidation in aqueous solutions irradiated in the UV spectral range; the photocatalyst’s activity increases with increasing vanadium concentration. When hydroquinone was irradiated in the blue, the maximal catalytic activity was discovered in a sample of composition Ti0.50V0.50O2–yCy. Quantum chemical calculations support experimental data that the double doping of titania (Ti1–xVxO2–yCy) enhances its photocatalytic activity compared to undoped anatase or anatase doped in one sublattice: Ti1–xVxO2 and TiO2–yCy alytic activity compared to undoped anatase or anatase doped in one sublattice: Ti1–xVxO2 and TiO2–yCy.
