TL;DR: An overview of recent progress in the synthesis of TiO 2 nanomaterials can be found in this paper, where the topics include synthesis of nanorods, nanowires, nanotubes, and mesoporous/nanoporous materials using different preparation approaches such as sol-gel, sol, hydrothermal, solvothermal, and vapor deposition.
Abstract: Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is a promising material for many emerging applications. Even more promising are the benefits offered by the material when its length scale is reduced to the nanometer range. Nanomaterials usually exhibit unique properties resulting from either the extremely large surface area-to-volume ratio or the quantum confinement effect of energy carriers. In this article we present an overview of recent progress in the synthesis of TiO 2 nanomaterials. The topics include synthesis of TiO 2 nanoparticles, nanorods, nanowires, nanotubes, and mesoporous/nanoporous materials using different preparation approaches such as sol-gel, sol, hydrothermal, solvothermal, and vapor deposition. The applications of TiO 2 nanomaterials are also briefly summarized.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple and useful parallel photochemical reactor is described to study the photodecomposition reactions with catalyst under visible-light irradiation, which can be easily set up and used in the high-school education or an undergraduate laboratory for experiments on the study of environmentally relevant photocatalysis.
Abstract: In recent years, environmental cleanup has been one of the most active areas in heterogeneous photocatalysis. In this article, we describe a simple and useful parallel photochemical reactor to study the photodecomposition reactions with catalyst under visible-light irradiation. This apparatus can be easily set up and used in the high-school education or an undergraduate laboratory for experiments on the study of environmentally relevant photocatalysis.
