Advantages

TiO₂ nanobars modified with 1 wt% Pt²⁺ show excellent photocatalytic H₂ generation

TiO₂ nanobars modified with 1 wt% Pd²⁺ show excellent low-temperature CO oxidation

Samples modified with 0.1 wt% noble metal ions still show effective H₂ generation activity

TiO₂ nanobars have a high proportion of exposed (110) facets
