Multifunctional TiO₂ Nanotubes: Doping Strategies, Structural Engineering, and Applications in Energy and Environment- The unique physical properties of titanium dioxide nanotubes are largely due to the ideal combination of material properties at the nanoscale. Covering the basics of titanium chemistry and crystalline structures of TiO₂, it then revises all major TiO₂ nanostructured materials for various applications including thin films, coatings, particles and hybrids. Centered on nitrogen-doped TiO₂ nanotube (NT) arrays, the authors demonstrate how band-gap engineering and charge transport tuning can further enhance visible light activity of TiO2 bringing a new dimension to the field of photocatalysis, solar energy conversion, water purification, and environmental remediation. By combining density functional theory (DFT) and other modeling techniques, the knowledge from quantum science to a design strategy is imparted in this work. Providing rich detail, yet accessible to advanced readers, it is an invaluable reference and source of inspiration for researchers, engineers and professionals in the fields of nanotechnology, materials science or engineering technologies and experts in environmental protection. renewable energy who wishes to explore the multifunctional properties of TiO₂ nanotubes for sustainable innovation.
