Nanoceria has evolved as one of the promising nanomaterials due to its unique enzyme-like properties, including excellent oxidase mimetic activity, which significantly increases in the presence of fluoride ions. However,...
Mesoporous silica-based nanoparticle (MSN) has gained rapid interest as drug delivery system (DDS) and demonstrated its versatility in the delivering drugs for the treatment of various cancers. However, the drug...
:Nanostructured materials often exhibit unique physical properties, such as fast carrier transport, subwavelength
optical waveguiding, and a high surface-area-to-volume ratio. When the size of a material is reduced to nanoscale
dimensions, its physical and chemical properties can change dramatically. In addition, nanostructures offer exciting new
opportunities for environmental applications. In this review, we aim to provide an up-to-date summary of recent research
related to multifunctional TiO2-based inorganic and organic semiconductor nanomaterials, covering both their synthesis
and applications. After a brief introduction of the definition and classification of TiO2-based inorganic and organic
semiconductor nanomaterial structures, we discuss various application strategies, such as sewage treatment, heavy metal
removal, and the oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes. In our previous work, we fabricated a variety of
TiO2-based hollow spheres using a diverse range of materials from inorganic semiconductors to organic semiconductors
and applied these structures as photocatalysts. Further development of these nanostructures may enable numerous
applications in the field of environmental technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
