The eleven articles, among them three reviews, in this book cover recent results and research trends of various aspects of titanium dioxide photocatalysis, with the chief aim of improving the final efficiency of TiO2-based materials. Strategies include doping, metal co-catalyst deposition, and the realization of composites with plasmonic materials, other semiconductors, and graphene. Photocatalysts with high efficiency and selectivity can be also obtained by controlling the precise crystal shape (and homogeneous size) and the organization in superstructures from ultrathin films to hierarchical nanostructures. Finally, the theoretical modeling of TiO2 nanoparticles is discussed and highlighted. The range of topics addressed in this book will stimulate the reader's interest as well as provide a valuable source of information for researchers in academia and industry.ChemistrybicsscUV-visibleoxidative reaction systemsphotodegradationnanospheresheterojunctionAg/AgCl@TiO2 fiberspolymorphismXRDcopper-modified titaniaultrasonic vibrationbrookiteTiO2 modificationsimulated Extended X-ray Adsorption Fine-Structure (EXAFS)nanorod spherestrapped electronsflame-spray pyrolysistitania/water interfacemicrowave irradiationplasmonic photocatalystgraphene-TiO2photocatalytic hydrogen productionmicrostreamingB3LYPHRTEMhardnessprinting and dyeing wastewaterSCC-DFTBTiO2photoelectrochemistrytitaniumbulk defectsmethanol photo-steam reformingspray coatingsol-gelFTIRS-dopingphotocatalysissulfidationlattice defectspolymorphanodizationpine-cone TiO2 nanoclustersnanorod arraysformation mechanismCu and Pt nanoparticlesexcitonsTiO2 nanotubesadhesiontrappingflexible substratesoptical absorptionlarge-sized filmssurface defectstitanium dioxideaccumulated electronsChemistryDal Santo Vladimiro1788591Naldoni AlbertoScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346686603321Titanium Dioxide Photocatalysis4323631UNINA
