Facile hydrothermal synthesis and characteristics of B-doped TiO2 hybrid hollow microspheres with higher photo-catalytic activity

Effect of Nd2O3 addition on the surface phase of TiO2 and photocatalytic activity studied by UV Raman spectroscopy

“…Titania (TiO 2 ) is widely used as an effective photocatalyst for the photodegradation of organic pollutants in water and air [1][2][3]. Anatase and rutile are TiO 2 polymorphic forms which are relevant in photocatalytic applications [4,5].…”

Controlled synthesis of TiO2 mesoporous microspheres via chemical vapor deposition

“…As one kind of important semiconductor material, anatase phase TiO 2 is a better choice to use as photocatalysts [10][11][12][13], gas sensors [14], surface functionalization [15], biomaterials [16], lithium batteries [17] and solar cells [18,19] due to its nontoxicity, low cost, and delivering ability. Many methods have been reported to synthesize TiO 2 mesoporous structures in the literature [20][21][22]. Li and co-workers [23] described a sol-spraying-calcination method to fabricate a new type of TiO 2 microsphere photocatalyst with a particle size of 30-160 nm.…”

Photo-electronic behavior of Cu2O- and/or CeO2-loaded TiO2/carbon cluster nanocomposite materials

“…The electron transfer has been achieved by either TiO 2 under UV light irradiation or some modified metal oxides under limited wavelength of light irradiation [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The construction of a stable charge separation without the recombination of holes and excited electrons under whole visible light irradiation is considered to be important for achieving an effective oxidation-reduction function.…”
