Cover Story: The development of nanostructures active in Vis light range in process of bacteria inactivation and pollutants degradation has been more intensely studied nowadays. TiO2 – based nanostructures obtained via electrochemical route, due to their unique features, could be used as photocatalytic material (photocatalytic devices). After analysing various approaches, it was concluded that creating nanostructures from alloys comprising Ti and Cu with anodic oxidation process can significantly improve photocatalytic performance of materials under Vis light and further be applicable in many areas.
