Features: This book is a specialized monograph on nano-TiO? photocatalytic materials and their applications. It provides significant reference value for scientists and researchers engaged in the preparation and application of nano-TiO? photocatalytic materials. The book begins with an introduction to the crystal structure of titanium dioxide and the basic principles of photocatalysis, then discusses in depth and accessible ways the various scientific issues closely related to the material and photocatalytic activity, such as the crystal phase, band structure, and spectroscopic characteristics of nano-TiO?. It dedicates considerable space to introducing methods for modifying nano-TiO? on various substrates, including nano-TiO? crystals, thin films, and mesoporous materials, as well as crystalline titanium dioxide with a skeleton structure and composite photocatalytic materials based on titanium dioxide. Additionally, it explains how to prepare highly active TiO? photocatalytic materials by controlling synthetic conditions. The book also provides practical examples of photocatalytic technology and the application of TiO? photocatalytic materials in areas such as wastewater treatment, air purification, solar energy utilization, antibacterial, anti-fogging, and self-cleaning functions.
