Dual functioning TiO<sub>2</sub>-brilliant yellow composite for efficient removal of methylene blue from water

A novel composite of titanium dioxide and brilliant yellow dye (Ti-BY) was synthesized using one-pot synthesis technique under solvothermal conditions. The composite was stable in both acidic and basic conditions and also Ti-BY demonstrated dual functionality in the removal of methylene blue dye fro...
