Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Pollutants Under Visible Light Irradiation

  • Published:
Topics in Catalysis Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Several TiO2-based photocatalytic systems that have considerable visible light response have been developed, such as the photodegradation of organic pollutants on sensitized TiO2 by visible light, construction of visible-light-active novel TiO2 photocatalysts by matrix or surface modification. In this paper, we review briefly our recent progress in the TiO2 photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants by visible light, some related work by other groups is also involved.
