TiO2 has been extensively studied for its photocatalytic activity and photoinduced hydrophilicity, making it an ideal candidate as a self-cleaning surface. This work investigates the effects of doping various concentrations of Nb5+ cations into TiO2 to obtain a uniform TiO2 thin film. Using a novel...
