Mixed TiO2–SiO2 thin coatings for selective adsorption and sunlight‐powered photodegradation of cationic pollutants

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Environmental pollution and water scarcity demand innovative purification methods. This study presents a sol‐gel approach to fabricate mixed silica–titania thin films joining photocatalytic activity with selective sorption capability. The films exhibit higher surface area, enhanced degradation of cationic and improved performance over bare titania ...

Influence of TiO2 Film Thickness on the Electrochemical Behaviour of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2011
A commercial TiO2 powder was deposited on F-doped SnO2 (FTO) glass substrates by a spray coating technique with different thicknesses (6, 10 and 14 µm) to be used as photo-anode in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). N3 dye was adsorbed on each TiO2 film

Recent Development in Solar‐to‐Hydrogen Conversion Systems

WIREs Energy and Environment, Volume 15, Issue 3, September 2026.
This review compares three solar‐driven hydrogen production methods, photocatalysis (PC), photoelectrochemical cells (PEC), and photovoltaic–electrochemical (PV–EC) systems by examining their mechanisms, materials, stability, and efficiency. Nanocrystal‐based PC catalysts achieved the highest quantum efficiency (94%), while PV–EC and Si nanowire PEC ...
