“…Various metal oxides, such as TiO 2 , ZnO, WO 3 and SnO 2 , have been applied as photocatalysts. Especially, among them, TiO 2 has attracted a great deal of attention since it has high photocatalytic activity and physicochemical stability [1][2][3]. Generally, the photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 can be influenced by physicochemical properties, including particle size, crystal structure, surface area, crystallinity and the state of surface hydration [4][5][6].…”
