TL;DR: This tutorial minireview gives a short review on the existing strategies for the synthesis of defective TiO2 with oxygen vacancies, and the defect related properties ofTiO2 including structural, electronic, optical, dissociative adsorption and reductive properties, which are intimately related to the photocatalytic performance of TiO 2.

TL;DR: A series of cadmium sulfide-graphene (CdS-GR) nanocomposites with different weight addition ratios of graphene (GR) have been synthesized via a facile one-step hydrothermal approach, during which the formation of CdS nanoparticles and the reduction of graphene oxide (GO) occur simultaneously as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The ternary CdS-graphene-TiO2 hybrids (CdS,GR,TiO 2) have been prepared through an in situ strategy on the flatland of graphene oxide (GO), and the structure and properties have been characterized by a series of techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive Xray spectroscopy (EDX), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), electrochemical analysis, photolumines

TL;DR: In this article, a synergistic strategy involving oxygen-vacancy generation and noble-metal deposition is developed to improve the photocatalytic performance of TiO2 under visible-light irradiation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a facile, one-step clean strategy has been utilized for anchoring noble metal (Au, Ag, Pd) nanoparticles onto the flat surface of 2D graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets.
