A facile and low-cost microwave method was used to prepare C and N co-doped TiO2 in just 8 min. The prepared samples were thoroughly characterized and were found to have favourable features such as surface adsorption of pollutants and photocatalysis. The rapid decomposition of CH5N3HCl under microwave irradiation led to mesopores and surface roughness in the as-prepared particles, resulting in large surface adsorption of pollutant and good photodegradation. The best sample is the one with the ratio of TiO2/CH2N3HCl at 3:1, which adsorbed 86.3 % of a methylene orange (MO) solution (20 mg L−1) in 10 min.
