Abstract

As a green and sustainable technology, heterogeneous photocatalysis using semiconductors has received much attention during the past decades because of its potential to address energy and environmental problems. Among various semiconductors, TiO 2 has been regarded as the best and most widely investigated photocatalyst in the past 10 years. Based on the fundamentals of photocatalysis and surface chemistry of TiO 2 nanomaterials , we herein summarize and discuss the achievements in the different surface modification strategies employed to date such as surface doping and sensitization, construction of surface heterojunctions , loading of nano-sized co-catalysts, increase in the accessible surface areas , and usage of surface F effects and exposure of highly reactive facets. Especially, the interesting synergistic effects of these different surface modification strategies deserve more attention in the near future. Studying these important advances in photocatalysis fundamentals, and surface chemistry and modification may offer new opportunities for designing highly efficient TiO 2 -based and non-TiO 2 -based photocatalysts for solar fuel production, environmental remediation, organic photosynthesis, and other related fields such as solar cell device fabrication , thermal catalysis, and separation and purification.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
