It is a subject of exploration whether the phase pure anatase or rutile TiO 2 or the band alignment due to the heterojunctions in the two polymorphs of TiO 2 plays the determining role in efficacy of a photocatalytic reaction. In this work, the phase pure anatase and rutile TiO 2 have been explored...
