Kinetics of Photoinduced Wettability Switching on Nanoporous Titania Surfaces under Oil

Titanium dioxide (titania or TiO₂) is well known for its photocatalytic properties and its ability to remove organic contaminants under UV light illumination. It is also known to switch its surface wetting characteristics from being hydrophilic to superhydrophilic under exposure to UV light in air....
