However, their synthesis is challenging. In this work, Anisotropic MP- Ti4O7 nanoparticles and Au doped nanocomposites were synthesized using β- cyclodextrin as template. The MP nanomaterials were 20-30 nm in size. The synthesis conditions were mild. These MP- TiOx nanomaterials show efficient charge separation upon light excitation i.e. they (i) act as efficient photocatalysts; (ii) they can be sensitized by a fluorescent dye; (iii) finite element method (FEM) simulations indicate substantial interfacial plasmonic charge generation at the metal-semiconductor interface in the doped nanocomposites.}, organization = {DST FIST Phase II grant of the Department of Chemistry, University of Kalyani}, organization = {University of Kalyani in the form of Personal Research Grant for Teachers}, organization = {DST-INSPIRE, Govt. of India for research fellowship [Ref.
