  • TiO2 microscale structures demonstrate higher surface areas, tunable pores, and superior photocatalytic activity compared to nanopowders.
  • TiO2 macroscale structures, despite potentially lower surface areas, achieve comparable or better photocatalytic performance due to unique properties.
  • Both microscale and macroscale TiO2 structures offer enhanced recoverability from reaction media.

Conclusions:

  • Microscale and macroscale TiO2 structures present viable alternatives to TiO2 nanoparticles, addressing key limitations.
  • The choice of structure and preparation method significantly influences TiO2 performance.
  • Further research into these structures holds promise for advancing photocatalytic applications.
