“…These researchers noted that phase of TiO 2 also has a dramatic effect on photocatalytic water-splitting with anatase producing more hydrogen compared to rutile. Doping and/or surface modification of titania with cobalt ions have been studied for photocatalytic degradation of organics and dyes [14,17,18,20,21,25,44,45]. The results in general indicate that doping with cobalt ions is either detrimental to photocatalytic activity or that there is an optimal loading at which the activity of the Co-doped titania is enhanced compared to nonmodified titania.…”
