Rational design of carbon and TiO sub(2) assembly materials: covered or strewn, which is better for photocatalysis?

The rational design of carbonaceous hybrid nanostructures is very important for obtaining high photoactivity. TiO sub(2) particles strewn with an optimal quantity of carbon nanodots have a much higher photoactivity than that of TiO sub(2) covered with a carbon layer, showing the importance of carbon...

Description
Summary:The rational design of carbonaceous hybrid nanostructures is very important for obtaining high photoactivity. TiO sub(2) particles strewn with an optimal quantity of carbon nanodots have a much higher photoactivity than that of TiO sub(2) covered with a carbon layer, showing the importance of carbon morphology in the photocatalysis of carbonaceous hybrid nanostructures.
