Decomposition rate/degradation efficiency of titanium dioxide (TiO2).

Nanocomposite Material Role of TiO2 Degraded Material Decomposition Rate (min−1)/Degradation Efficiency (%) Reference
C, N, F/TiO2NTs High photocatalytic activity under UV-light Methyl orange Under UV-light:

  • TiO2NTs: 60%

  • C/TiO2NTs: 100%

Under simulated sunlight:

  • N,F/TiO2NTs: high activity

  • TiO2NTs: low activity (high bandgap)

  • C/TiO2NTs: high activity

 [197]
iN-Ti3C2/TiO2 hybrid Achieved a high photocatalytic performance in degrading MB. Methylene blue (MB) Under UV-light:0.02642 min−1 [198]
TiO2 nanoflowers(TNFs) high photocatalytic performance for the degradation of diverse phenolic organic contaminants Bisphenol A (BPA), diphenyl phenol, P-tert-butyl phenol, and resorcinol Under UV-light:>95% [199]
(TiO2/TiNTs) TiO2/TiNTs showed about 10 times higher degradation for phenanthrene compared to the unmodified TiNTs Cu(II), phenanthrene

  • Cu(II) adsorption capacity: 115.0 mg/g

Under UV-light:

  • Removal of >95% phenanthrene

 [200]
Cr-TiO2 supported on Fe3O4 High photocatalytic activity under solar radiation Malachite green dye (MG), total organic carbon (TOC) Under solar radiation:

  • 100% removal of MG

  • 60% removal of TOC
