In this brief‎,‎ a comprehensive review of the UV/visible‎-TiO2 photocatalytic oxidation process is presented with an insight into the mechanisms involved‎,‎ the role of titanium dioxide as a catalyst‎,‎ irradiation sources‎,‎ types of reactors‎,‎ and a comparison between various modes of TiO2 application‎.‎ An overview of the development and enhancement of the activity of TiO2 nanoparticles in photocatalysis is presented‎.‎ The topics covered include a detailed look at the unique properties of the TiO2 nanoparticles and their relationship to photocatalytic properties‎.‎ The utilization of the TiO2 nanoparticles as photocatalysts‎,‎ in the non‎-doped and doped forms is also reviewed‎.‎ Finally‎,‎ the use of modified TiO2 nanoparticles has made a significant contribution in providing definitive mechanistic information regarding the visible light photocatalytic processes‎.‎
