Titanium dioxide has been reformed into a highly activated photocatalyst by introducing carbon atoms into the interstitial space of the lattice. The lattice expansions are observed with both the increment of embedded carbon atoms quantities and the concentration of precursor carbon source. When the concentration of the precursor carbon source reaches the optimal point, further promotion will only reduce the carbon activity. Our obtained Anatase TiO 2 embedded with carbon atoms exhibits better photo‐degradation ability than without.
