Abstract

Nowadays as the concerns with global environmental issue increase, the application of TiO$_2$ to the treatment of polluted air and wastewater has become more and more widespread because of its promising photocatalytic performance. The photocatalytic activity of TiO$_2$ is greatly influenced by its crystal structure, particle size, surface area and porosity. (omitted)
