As a wide‐bandgap semiconductor material, titanium dioxide (TiO2), which possesses three
crystal polymorphs (ie, rutile, anatase, and brookite), has gained tremendous attention as a …

Significant advances in various industrial processes have resulted in the discharge of toxic
pollutants into the environment. Consequently, it is essential to develop efficient wastewater …

The technological evolution has been progressing for centuries and will possibly increase at
a higher rate in the 21st century. Currently, in this age of nanotechnology, the discovery of …

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with their highly flexible and tunable chemical
composition and physical properties have attracted tremendous attention in recent years …

Hydrogen (H2) production via solar water splitting is one of the most ideal strategies for
