BACKGROUND: The wide bandgap and low activity under visible light of titanium dioxide (TiO2) have limited its use in many industrial processes. This limitation is associated with the inadequate solar spectrum that activates its surface, where most of the photoexcited electron–hole pairs recombine th...
