Self-doped titanium oxide thin films for efficient visible light photocatalysis: An example: Nonylphenol photodegradation

Abstract Titanium thin films have been designed to achieve efficient photocatalytic activity in the visible range. Doping induced by oxygen deficiency is the key for the increased photodegradation properties of the film, as both experimental and theoretical studies demonstrate. Its effectiveness on a nonylphenol solution has been demonstrated.
