The Ti mesh supported N-S-C-tridoped TiO2 nanosheet (N-S-C/TiO2/TMs) catalysts were successfully fabricated by the one-step in situ hydrothermal synthesis method, and then used for photocatalytic degradation of norfloxacin. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS). The results showed that the N, S and C were transferred into the lattice of TiO2 and improved the visible light response of TiO2/TM. The degradation of norfloxacin by trilaminar Ti mesh supported N-S-C/TiO2 (3-N-S-C/TiO2/TMs) catalysts was 92%, much higher than that of 3-TiO2/TMs. Furthermore, the photocatalytic performances of 3-TiO2/TMs and equiponderant on Ti foil supported TiO2 (1-TiO2/TF) were also investigated. The experimental results demonstrated that the characteristic three-dimensional (3D) arrays and porous structure of 3-TiO2/TMs significantly enhanced the photon utilization during the degradation reaction, which induced a much higher degradation efficiency of 55% than that of equiponderant 1-TiO2/TF (23%) in 120 min.
