Abstract

In this paper, our previous work on the fabrication of four models involving nanometer-size TiO₂ and their environmental applications are reviewed. The material characterization and the ability to remove pollutants in water for four models are examined. The obtained models have exhibited excellent photo electrocatalytic activity, high photoconversion efficiency, superior charge separating ability and remarkable improvement of membrane flux, respectively, and been proven to be of great interest for use in water treatment.
