Problems solved by technology

But TiO 2 Some of its own defects, such as wide band gap (about 3.2eV), narrow photoresponse range (excited TiO 2 The light wavelength of the valence band electrons is ≤387nm, which only accounts for about 3% of the total solar energy), and the high photo-induced electron-hole recombination rate makes it difficult for its photocatalytic efficiency to reach the industrial application level.
