Titania-based functional nanocomposite materials fabricated by liquid processes

Abstract

In this review, research on the preparation and characterization of TiO₂-containing nanocomposites is considered. The preparations of nanocomposites by sol–gel and anodization methods are mainly explored. Nanocomposites are highly desired for some applications, and the means of controlling their functions to optimize performance is reviewed. The typical applications of TiO₂-containing nanocomposites in photocatalysis and micropatterning are discussed.
