Summary: This book discusses recent advances in the photocatalytic and electrophotocatalytic applications of titanium dioxide nanocomposites containing polymers and other components. These materials possess photocatalytic, virucidal and antimicrobial efficacy and water and air cleaning abilities against eco-toxicants, and allow water splitting for the generation of chemical fuels. The book considers the ability of nanocomposites’components to reinforce titania functionality in photocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis, and presents an overview of their occurrence in nature, their thermodynamic properties, and their toxicity. The project of the NAS of Ukraine «Development of innovative photocatalytic nanostructured materials based on ZnO and TiO2» (528/IPM-11/20) and the nano-program «The development of photocatalytic nanocomposites for viral inactivation in the air» (№ 40/20-Н) supported important results.

Reading audience: The volume will be of interest to chemists and material science specialists and practitioners, as well as any reader interested in the recent scientific achievements for green and sustainable development.
