- Work is world leading, original and significantly innovative scientific approach to integrate nano- and bulk-materials. A highly efficient black TiO2-Ag photocatalytic nanocomposite along with Silver nanoparticles synthesised and active under both UV and visible light illumination. This innovative technique overcomes the multiple intermediate steps to a rapid, one-pot, simple chemical reduction method. Article significantly advances the field and new form of expression to show an increase of over 800% in the rate of photocatalytic activity. Outcome has wide ranging applications in water and air pollution remediation and solar fuel production. Work resulted in textile industry academia grant funded by RAENG.
