A Modified Sol–Gel Synthesis of Anatase {001}-TiO<sub>2</sub>/Au Hybrid Nanocomposites for Enhanced Photodegradation of Organic Contaminants

A sol–gel synthesis technique was employed for the preparation of anatase phase {001}-TiO<sub>2</sub>/Au hybrid nanocomposites (NCs). The scalable, schematic, and cost-efficient method was successfully modified using HF and NH<sub>4</sub>OH capping agents. The photocatalytic...
