Preparation of doped TiO2 nanomaterials and their applications in photocatalysis

Enhancing Photocatalytic Activity, Stability, and Separability of TiO2 through Synthesis of Fe3O4@Fibroin‐TiO2 Composite

“…Furthermore, TiO 2 has various applications in cosmetics, [8] electrochemistry, [9] capacitors, [10] and solar cells [11] . Despite its advantages such as high chemical and photochemical stability, easy preparation and use, non‐toxicity, and low cost, TiO 2 has a significant drawback due to its high bandgap energy of ~3.2 eV [12] . As a result, TiO 2 shows catalytic activity only under ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation and not under visible light.…”

Enhanced Degradation of Ethylene in Thermo-Photocatalytic Process Using TiO2/Nickel Foam

“…Addressing these limitations, a variety of methods have been investigated aiming to enhance the photocatalytic performance of TiO 2 . One of the methods commonly used to enhance the efficiency of TiO 2 is the doping of some species, which can change its wide bandgap, improve visible light absorption and reduce electron–hole recombination [ 15 ]. Doping can be achieved using elements such as metals (transition [ 16 ], rare-earth [ 17 ] and noble [ 18 ]) and non-metals (N [ 19 ], C [ 20 ], S [ 21 ] and others) or co-doping, which involves the simultaneous introduction of multiple dopants [ 15 , 22 ].…”

“…Addressing these limitations a variety of methods have been investigated aiming to enhance photocatalytic performance of TiO2. The method most commonly used to enhance the efficiency of TiO2 is through doping which can change its wide bandgap, improve visible light absorption and reduce electron-hole recombination [12]. Doping can be achieved using elements such as metals (transition [13] earth-rare [14] and noble [15]), non-metals (N [16], C [17], S [18] and others), or codoping which involves the simultaneous introduction of multiple dopants [12,19].…”
