The CaRI and SIP techniques involve thermal and solvent vapor annealing processes, respectively, while the LeCaRI technique is performed at room temperature without any solvent. For each technique, factors influencing the extent and dynamics of polymer infiltration, including nanoconfinement and polymer–NP surface interactions, are explained. In Section 3, we focus on the mechanical properties and thermal/photo degradation behaviors of the PINFs, which are closely linked to their stability, and explain how nanoconfinement and polymer–NP surface interactions affect these properties. We show that kinetics of infiltration and the properties of PINFs have nontrivial and at times counterintuitive dependence on the extent of nanoconfinement and the interaction strengths between polymers and NPs. In Section 4, we explore some practical applications of PINFs, demonstrating their multifunctionality in areas such as antireflection coatings and antifouling","PeriodicalId":72040,"journal":{"name":"Accounts of materials research","volume":"6 4","pages":"512–522 512–522"},"PeriodicalIF":14.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143867532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pursuit of safe, efficient, and economically viable catalysts remains a critical priority. Titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>), a prototypical transition-metal oxide with substantial industrial importance, is widely recognized as a benchmark catalyst for photochemical reactions.

Initially, we demonstrate that facet-engineered TiO<sub>2</sub>, specifically designed to expose the high-energy {001} polar facet, facilitates the dissociation of both pollutant and water molecules. This significantly lowers energy barriers and enhances anodic reactions through both direct and indirect pathways, thereby markedly improving water purification efficiency. Furthermore, the dual photochemical and electrochemical functionalities of a single {001}-tailored TiO<sub>2</sub> electrode enable synergistic UV-light-assisted electrochemical catalysis under low bias conditions, achieving superior energy efficiency and resistance to electrode fouling. Next, we explore the catalytic potential of defect-engineered TiO<sub>2</sub> (TiO<sub>2–<i>x</i></sub>), highlighting the role of titanium (≡Ti<sup>3+</sup>) and oxygen vacancies (O<sub>v</sub>) in boosting electrochemical water purification. Surface and subsurface defects, characterized by localized atomic disorder and structural distortions, serve as active sites that drive beneficial structural transformations, enriched electronic distribution, enhanced spin–spin correlations, and polaron hopping mechanisms, all of which contribute to improved cathodic reduction. To stabilize these reactive sites under anodic polarization, we propose a practical visible-light-assisted electrochemical catalysis strategy. This approach leverages mild non-band-gap excitation pathways mediated by defect sub-bands, providing enhanced stability and catalytic efficiency.
