A significant drawback of the traditional photocatalysts such as titanium dioxide (TiO2) is their inability to absorb visible light from the solar spectrum due to their wide band gap energy. They are only photoactive in the ultraviolet (UV) region which is just a little fraction of the solar spectru...
