• unique type of self-doped green TiO2 (G-TiO2−x) was irreversibly produced from black titania (B-TiO2−x) applying intense ultrasonication, as shown schematically in Figure 8A. The G-TiO2−x has been conjugated to triphenylphosphonium (TPP), a lipophilic cation that binds to the mitochondria through

• place by the sulfate redox couple attached to nitrogen-doped TiO2 [63]. Hydrogenated defect-promoted black titania exhibits much higher absorption and photocatalytic activity [94][95]. The recombination and charge transfer efficiency can be understood from PL spectra. The PL emission intensity is
