Visible-light active photocatalysts in the form of coatings that can be produced using large-scale methods have attracted considerable attention. Here we show a facile approach to deposit coatings using the low pressure cold spray (LPCS) from oxygen-rich amorphous titanium dioxide, which is a structurally-unconventional feedstock powder for LPCS. We synthesized amorphous TiO2, in which we introduced numerous defects, such as oxide groups (peroxy and superoxy) in volume and hydroxyl groups on the surface. Then we deposited as-prepared powder preserving the presence of active groups, which we demonstrated using Raman spectroscopy. To show the activity of the prepared coatings, we perform methylene blue degradation under visible light. Our research shows that it is worth considering the internal atomic structure and surface chemistry of the powders to be preserved after low pressure cold spraying.
