for the elimination of different pollutants and the potential use of pure titanium oxide
materials or composites in advanced oxidation processes with special interest in
processes such as water splitting and hydrogen production using photocatalytic or
photoelectrocatalytic methods. The most recent results in these topics show that
simple structural changes and preparation of sophisticated titanium oxide-based
composites, together with a sustainable development of the photocatalytic methods,
may result in an efficient application and industrial use of these materials as solutions
for a wide variety of environmental problems.
