Sažetak
Efficient photocatalysis of various pollutants in the environment is a complex process and include so many factors, i.e. morphological factors as well as acid-base properties of the metal oxide and has significant contribution to the overall photocatalysis efficiency. In spite of numerous studies dealing with effect of inorganic ions which are mostly focused on the heavy metals adsorption as well as ion exchange mechanism there is lack of the data in the literature with basic findings about effect of the surface pH and the ionic strength on the TiO2 nanotubes and nanowires surfaces. Detailed information about acid-base surface properties are essential, because pH is one of the most important factor that have effects on the photocatalysis performance and efficient purification of the organic contaminants due to surface charge dependence of the pH as well as interfacial electron transfer and surface/interface polarisation effects in regard to the ESAB model.
