“…With UV irradiation, aT exhibited the highest MB decomposition by photocatalytic degradation even after 30 min, and 95.1% of the MB stained on this fabric was decomposed after 12 h. However, with sunlight irradiation, aT exhibited the lowest level of MB decomposition with 86.8% decomposition, whereas 450TF, 500TF, and 550TF exhibited 100, 96.3, and 97.3% decomposition, respectively, after 12 h. Therefore, the photocatalytic self-cleaning properties of those samples were superior to the commercial anatase TiO 2 treated samples. This is because anatase TiO 2 only utilizes UV light, whereas TiOF 2 utilizes both UV and visible light for the photodegradation of MB [ 39 , 40 , 41 ]. As already mentioned, UV makes up only a small portion of sunlight.…”
