ABSTRACT

Nanohybrids materials draw considerable attention from many researchers owing to its improved properties and promising technological applications. Many features such as size, shape and surface morphology acts as a key to the successful implantation of nanohybrids in multi-dimensional applications. Selection of suitable materials that have the best suited properties is the major task for solving technological issues. By combining two hybrid materials together a material with entirely unique properties could be achieved. Titanium dioxide is the most commonly used nanohybrid because of its high photocatalytic applications and ability to intermix with other materials. Titanium dioxide is being used as an important nanohybrid material along with other materials such as poly aniline, graphene, carbon nanotubes and silicone dioxide. These intermix nanohybrids are used in many applications such as in solar cells, gas sensors, and in optoelectronic devices. Titanium dioxide when acting as a nanohybrid with graphene bears high electromagnetic properties. Nanohybrids have been synthesized by using different techniques, however sol gel-based synthesis is considered to be most suitable method. TiO2 appears to be a more promising nanohybrid for environmental sustainability and for the purification of contaminated water.
