| Summary: | Titania is considered to be one of the most versatile material in its nanoform. Scientific community looks towards it to address various pressing global problems. One such problem is aquatic pollution arising from organic chemicals such as dyes, pesticides, antibiotics etc. due to industrial, domestic and agricultural activities. Titania proves to be very effective to address this problem owing to its superior photocatalytic properties. In this review, we will review the recent advances in titania-based nanocomposites. The recent advances discussed in this review include synthesis of titania, modification of titania, exploration of various supports such as silica, carbon, graphene etc., that is documented to enhance its environmental remediation properties. |
