A Review of Removal of Pollutants from Water/Wastewater Using Different Types of Nanomaterials (2014, background): “The basic mechanism of a semiconductorbased photocatalysts like low-cost TiO 2 having good photoactivity and nontoxicity [156] involves the production of highly reactive oxidants, such as OH radicals, for disinfection of microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, algae, viruses, and so forth [157–165].”
Photocatalytic decolorization of methylene blue using TiO2/UV system enhanced by air sparging (2018, background): “Among various semiconductors, titanium dioxide represents a promising photocatalyst due to its unique chemical and biological stability, hydrophobicity, low price and availability [19,20].”
Smart concretes and structures: A review (2015, background): “The synergy of these two phenomena is also important (Ballari et al., 2011; Beeldens, 2006a; Chen and Poon, 2009b; Folli et al., 2012; Hashimoto et al., 2005; Hüsken et al., 2007; Lackhoff et al., 2003; Nath et al., 2014).”
Recent progress in antireflection and self-cleaning technology – From surface engineering to functional surfaces (2014, background): “group [48,49,53,54] proposed a mechanism for photoinduced wettability conversion of TiO2 surface, which has been widely accepted by scientists.”
