Multiphase TiO 2 was stably modified by vacuum treatment for a dramatic improvement in visible‐light absorption and photocatalytic reactivity. The samples were made of rutile‐brookite, bare or N doped, and were grown on reduced graphene oxide. The stable introduction of Ti 3+ species and oxygen vacancies resulting in mitigated electron–hole recombination was identified as the main responsible factor, along with a change in surface charges.
