The potential of photocatalysis applications rapidly expands, offering energy-efficient solutions across various industries. Titanium dioxide nanotubes (TiO2 NTs/TNTs) are emerging as effective catalysts for water filtration techniques. Electrochemical anodization is the preferred method for producing suitable TNTs on a titanium plate. The key challenge lies in fabricating these desired TNTs efficiently in terms of time, cost, and energy. These effective nanotubes can achieve optimal photocatalytic dye degradation by modifying their optical and morphological properties. This paper explores the fabrication of NTs by manipulating different parameters and the successful application of Titania in dye degradation through appropriate doping.
