TiO2 had been studied extensively in the development of self-cleaning glasses. However, due to its large band gap energy (Eg = 3.2 eV), pure TiO2 exhibits photocatalytic activity only under UV irradiation. In the current work, the incorporation of InVO4, which is a novel narrow band gap semiconducto...
