Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is the most intensively used semiconductive material for photocatalysis, which is merely photoactive under the irradiation of UV light due to its wide band gap. The titanate nanosheets are synthesized from the alkaline hydrothermal treatment of P25 (TiO2) powders, analogous t...
