TL;DR: In this article, a review article summarizes recent seminal research works on optical properties of inorganic pigments, which can lead to tailor made colorants of high intensity for specific applications.

TL;DR: A series of Bi3+-doped ceria nanoparticles synthesized by sol-gel assisted hydrothermal method at a lower temperature of 150 °C were found to be effective photocatalysts for the degradation of methylene blue dye under visible light irradiation.

TL;DR: A new series of yellow inorganic pigments possessing high solar reflectance based on bismuth doped cerium dioxide was synthesized by sol-gel hydrothermal method at 150°C for 24h.

TL;DR: In this article, a mesoporous titania (TiO 2 ) was used for selective photocatalysis and the resulting TiO 2 nanomaterials were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), Fourier Transformed Infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopy, BET surface area measurement and Ultra violet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrography.
