Cover Story: The background is wastewater in nature, showing the application of thin films as photocatalysts. In the upper part, the films containing the most Ti3O5 and Ti2O3 (revealed by the two crystal models) were prepared by adjusting the oxygen flow rate and voltage in reactive sputtering. The following is the comparison of the photodegradation of the dye wastewater of different thin films. The films containing the most Ti2O3 and Ti3O5 exhibited the best absorbance (revealed by the color of the films), photothermal effect (revealed by the temperature), and photocatalytic activity (revealed by the color of the solution).
