Synthesis methods for Au@TiO2 nanocomposites include:
Sol-Gel Method: This involves hydrolysis and condensation of precursors to form TiO2 followed by deposition of Au nanoparticles. Photochemical Deposition: Utilizing light to reduce gold precursors on the TiO2 surface. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): Involves the deposition of Au onto TiO2 using gaseous precursors. Hydrothermal Synthesis: A method conducted in an aqueous solution at high temperatures and pressures to achieve well-dispersed Au nanoparticles.
