TiO₂@C nanocomposites–from synthesis to application: A review

The TiO₂@C nanocomposite can be called a multifunctional material due to its unique physical and chemical properties. In the first part of the current study, the most widespread methods for producing TiO₂@C nanocomposites were presented. They were divided into electrophysical and chemical methods. Chemical methods included the sol-gel method, the solvothermal and hydrothermal methods, the method using emulsion and microemulsion media, and other methods for producing the TiO₂@C nanocomposite. In the next part of this review, plasmochemical methods for producing the TiO₂@C nanocomposite were described. Finally, we presented possible applications in various industries. This review contains useful information for specialists involved in the development and application of functional nanocomposites.
