Functional nanoporous TiO2 for advanced catalytic degradation of organic pollutants

This Thesis explored novel approaches to design functional catalytic surfaces based on TiO2 nanotubes. Tuneable catalytic surfaces with controlled chemistry and morphology upon doping led to enhanced photoresponse under visible light radiation. The surface engineering of TiO2 nanotubes improved the catalytic performance towards the efficient degradation of organic pollutants.
