To provide a visible light-response type titanium oxide photocatalyst capable of exhibiting high photocatalytic function by visible light.
Titanium oxide and/or titanium hydroxide obtained by neutralizing an acidic titanium compound with a nitrogen-containing base is heated in atmosphere containing a hydrolyzable metal compound (e.g. titanium halide) and successively heated at 350°C or higher in a gas containing 0.5 to 4.0 vol% of water to produce the nitrogen-containing titanium oxide photocatalyst. A mass fragment spectrum of the titanium oxide at a ratio m/e=28 of the mass number m and the charge number e of ion measured by thermal desorption gas analysis has substantially no peak at 600°C or higher and the peak with the minimum half width is in a range of 400 to 600°C. The nitrogen amount calculated from the peak appearing at 400 eV±1.0 eV in the N1s shell bond energy spectrum measured by XPS measurement is 20 times as much as that measured by chemical analysis.
