“…Titanium dioxide, 16 zinc oxide, 17 cadmium sulfide, 18 iron oxide, 19 tungsten oxide, 20 and tin oxide 21 are the main materials used as photocatalysts. In recent years, new photocatalysts, such as bismuth oxyhalides 22 and titanium oxydifluoride, 23,24 have also attracted attention in photocatalytic degradation applications. TiO 2 has been the most widely used semiconductor photocatalyst in many practical applications and commercial products, due to its inertness to the chemical environment, its high efficiency, low cost, physical and chemical stability, widespread availability, and noncorrosive property.…”
