Abstract Optimizing photocatalysts to function within the visible region offers enhanced economics considering that 40% of the sun’s energy is in the visible region, compared to just 4% in the UV region. To better utilize available solar flux, nanocomposite materials using TiO2 nanoparticles and single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been studied. Separating the SWCNT bundles using surfactants combined with a photo-assisted sol–gel preparation produced low band gap (
