Disorder Engineering in Monolayer Nanosheets Enabling Photothermic Catalysis for Full Solar Spectrum (250-2500 nm) Harvesting.

TL;DR: A solar thermal-promoted photocatalyst is constructed, an ultrathin "biphasic" ordered-disordered D-HNb3 O8 junction, which performs two disparate spectral selective functions of photoexcitation by ordered structure and thermal activated conversion via disordered lattice for combinatorial photothermal mediated catalysis.

Photocatalytic reduction of Hg(II) on TiO2 and Ag/TiO2 prepared by the sol–gel and impregnation methods

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the photocatalytic activity of titania and showed that the presence of Ag on the surface of the oxide decreased the band gap energy and increased the photoactivity efficiency.

Visible-Light Photocatalysis in Nitrogen-Doped Titanium Oxides

TL;DR: Film and powders of TiO2-x Nx have revealed an improvement over titanium dioxide (TiO2) under visible light in optical absorption and photocatalytic activity such as photodegradations of methylene blue and gaseous acetaldehyde and hydrophilicity of the film surface.
