In this study, the production of novel doped nanopowders with photocatalytic and antimicrobial properties under UV and visible light irradiation was investigated. TiO2 is known to possess self-cleaning properties in UV-light, whereas the doping agents were used in order to provide self-cleaning properties under visible light irradiation. For this purpose two different non-metal dopants were used in order to prepare via sol-gel method nanopowders with band gap lower than 2.5eV.
