One-Pot Synthesis and Enhanced Vis-NIR Photocatalytic Activity of NiTiO₃/TiO₂ Templated by Waste Tobacco Stem-Silks by Weidong Yuan, Xiaohong Chen, Yi Zhao, Ying Fang, Han Zhang, Daomei Chen, Jiaqiang Wang

“…The boosting photocatalytic activity has been shown to be attributed to efficient charge separation and transfer across a direct Z-scheme heterojunction between NiTiO₃ and TiO₂ and enhanced light-harvesting ability of special flaky structure reduplicated from tobacco stem-silks. This reported strategy provides a new idea for the multifunctional utilization of waste tobacco stem-silks and the synthesis of novel photocatalysts for the potential application in wastewater treatment.…”
