Titanate nanosheets as highly efficient non-light-driven catalysts for degradation of organic dyes

Abstract

A novel non-light-driven catalysis by the delaminated two dimensional titanate nanosheets (TNSs) has been explored for degradation of organic dyes with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). This catalyst can efficiently remove dyes at high concentration and over a wide pH range, as well as with a long cycle number and superior universality.
