TiO2 has proven to be the most promising photocatalyst for environmental pollution removal. Normally, TiO2 nanoparticles are put into the water to photodecompose the aqueous pollutants under sunlight. The photocatalytic decomposition process includes surface adsorption and photodecomposition. Here we demonstrate that new nanoparticles can be used to efficiently remove environmental pollutions, i.e. from aqueous solution. This would expand the practical application of nanophotocatalyst for environmental applications.
