Abstract

This chapter presents a review of novel achievements in the doping modification of TiO2 photocatalytic systems aimed at enhancing TiO2 applications in the areas of energy conversion and environmental cleanup. Herein we studied the synthesis, physical properties, as well as synergism of modified TiO2. Based on the studies reported in the literature, metal and nonmetal doping- and co-doping-modified TiO2 are very effective systems to extend the activating spectra to the visible range. Therefore, doping-modified TiO2 play an important role in the development of efficient photocatalysts for future perspectives.
