New insights into the photocatalytic properties of composites based on TiO 2 and single-walled carbon nanotubes

and ˙OH species in the photodegradation mechanism of Rh6G. This study contributes to a better understanding of the role of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes in the photocatalysis field, highlighting that composites based on semiconducting SWCNTs and semiconducting metallic oxides are those that contribute essentially to the removal of dyes by exposure to the light emitted by a halogen lamp.
