Titanium Dioxide for applications as a photocatalyst has received much attention since its water splitting capability was discovered in 1972. However, the efficiency was a big drawback due to its large bandgap of 3.2 eV. Since 1990s, minded researchers have been focusing on shifting its bandgap into...
