TiO 2 ‐Based Nanomaterials: Design, Synthesis, and Applications

Nanostructure materials with specific properties or activities are not expected in bulk phase and have already led to a breakthrough in various fields of research and application. Within these nanomaterials, TiO 2 -based nanomaterials attracted great interest and intensive researches due to their merits of high specific surface area, proper electronic band structure, high quantum efficiency, chemical innerness, and stability (Figure Over the past decades, derivations from TiO 2 -based nanostructures materials constructed by various techniques, for example, assisted-template method [1, 2], hydrothermal treatment [3-5], and electrochemical anodic oxidation [6-9], have extensively been investigated for many potential applications, including environmental photocatalysis/adsorbent, dye-sensitized solar cell, and biomedical implants
