“…Photocatalysis is a particularly popular AOP due to its efficient use of solar energy and its cycle stability, making it an economical and environmentally friendly option. [5][6][7] Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is a popular semiconductor photocatalytic material because of its stability, non-toxicity, and low cost. But two major challenges remain: its low visible light absorption ability due to its wide band gap of 3.0-3.2 eV, and the rapid recombination of carrier pairs due to a large number of defects in the crystal centre.…”
