Abstract

Abstract Semiconductor photocatalysis is recognized as a promising strategy to simultaneously address energy needs and environmental pollution. Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) has been investigated for such applications due to its low cost, nontoxicity, and high chemical stability. However, pristine TiO 2 still suffers from low utilization of visible light and high photogenerated‐charge‐carrier recombination rate. Recently, TiO 2 photocatalysts modified by dual cocatalysts with different functions have attracted much attention due to the extended light absorption, enhanced reactant adsorption, and promoted charge‐carrier‐separation efficiency granted by various cocatalysts. Recent progress on the component and…
