Development and Application of TiO2 Nanoparticles Coupled with Silver Halide

الملخص EN

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is proposed to be effective photocatalyst for wastewater treatment, air purification, and self-cleaning ability, because of its strong oxidation and superhydrophilicity.

In order to conquer the limits of TiO2, a variety of methods have been used.

This paper presents a critical review of novel research and achievements in the modification of TiO2 nanoparticles with silver halide (AgX, X=Cl, Br, I), which aims at enhancing the visible light absorption and photosensitivity.

Herein we study the synthesis, physical and chemical properties, and the mechanism of this composite photocatalyst.
