The rutile ratio in Sn/Ni–TiO 2 is trace (5.3%), which makes the mixed crystal effect insufficient [21,26]. Therefore, Sn/Ni–TiO 2 is inferior to Sn–TiO 2 in inhibiting photogenerated charges recombination because the anatase/rutile phase composition of Sn–TiO 2 is suitable, which can reflect the mixed crystal effect to a large extent.
