Chlorophyll Sensitization of TiO<sub>2</sub>: A Mini-Review
Recent studies have shown that chlorophyll sensitization can improve the performance of semiconductors like TiO<sub>2</sub> in photocatalytic reactions and light-harvesting technologies, such as solar cells. Faced with the search for renewable energy sources and sustainable technologies,...

| description | Recent studies have shown that chlorophyll sensitization can improve the performance of semiconductors like TiO<sub>2</sub> in photocatalytic reactions and light-harvesting technologies, such as solar cells. Faced with the search for renewable energy sources and sustainable technologies, the application of this natural pigment has been gaining prominence. The present work addresses some of the main possibilities of chlorophyll-TiO<sub>2</sub> combination, presenting the most relevant aspects affecting chlorophyll extraction and TiO<sub>2</sub> sensitization. |
