A one-step thermal decomposition method to prepare anatase TiO2 nanosheets with improved adsorption capacities and enhanced photocatalytic activities

Low temperature synthesis of water dispersible F-doped TiO2 nanorods with enhanced photocatalytic activity

“…7) can exhibit more effective photocatalytic performance. 52,69,70 The photocatalytic activity of F-TiO 2 NRs depends on the F doping concentration, the optimal NaF/TiCl 4 molar ratio is 4.0/1.0, which is in agreement with previous report that, when the F doping concentration is more than a special value, the degradation rate decreases due to the promotion of the recombination of electron-hole pairs.…”

The effect of graphitized carbon on the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue over TiO2/C composites

“…17,18 Thus, the combination of some adsorbents and TiO 2 nanoparticles has attracted much attention for enhancing photocatalytic activity in the degradation of organic contaminants. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] TiO 2 composites obtained by adding a co-adsorbent, doping, or depositing on other material are helpful for solving these problems. Supporting the TiO 2 nanoparticles on adsorbents such as activated carbon, 19 clay minerals 21,22 and calcium silicate 23 is not only benecial for improving the efficiency of photocatalysis, but also favors the separation and recovery of these catalysts from aqueous solution.…”

Constructing the magnetic bifunctional graphene/titania nanosheet-based composite photocatalysts for enhanced visible-light photodegradation of MB and electrochemical ORR from polluted water

“…To explain in detail, special attentions have been paid to developing effective strategies in degrading organic pollutants in water 12 – 16 . Visible light photocatalysts have been anticipated to be the promising solution to degrade organic dyes in water, and methods that enhance catalysts’ visible light catalytic power and operability have been heavily pursued after 17 – 20 .…”
