Description
Summary:Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) is a well-known technology for air purification and has been extensively studied for removal of many air pollutants. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is the most investigated photocatalyst in the field of environmental remediation owed to its chemical stability, non-toxicity, and suitable positions of valence and conduction bands. Various preparation techniques including sol-gel, flame hydrolysis, water-in-oil microemulsion, chemical vapour deposition, solvothermal, and hydrothermal have been employed to obtain TiO2 materials. Hydro-/Solvothermal (HST) synthesis, focus of the present work, can be defined as a preparation method in which crystal growth occurs in a solvent at relatively low temperature (
