Titanate nanosheets as highly efficient non-light-driven catalysts for degradation of organic dyes

A novel non-light-driven catalysis by the delaminated two dimensional titanate nanosheets (TNSs) has been explored for degradation of organic dyes with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). This catalyst can efficiently remove dyes at high concentration and over a wide pH range, as well as with a long cycle number and superior universality.
