A facile method for synthesis of Ag/TiO2 nanostructures

Comparative study on photocatalytic performances of crystalline α- and β-Bi2O3 nanoparticles under visible light

“…and preparation processes have demonstrated the strong correlation between the synthesis procedure of Bi 2 O 3 and its photocatalytic activities [36]. In order to take the advantage of above facts, sol-gel and hydrothermal methods were carried out with operational simplicity [20,37,38]. Herein, a-and b-Bi 2 O 3 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using sol-gel and hydrothermal methods in the presence of either urea or polyethylene glycol.…”

Spectroscopic investigations on the interactions of AgTiO2 nanoparticles with lysozyme and its influence on the binding of lysozyme with drug molecule

“…The diffraction peaks at 2h = 25°corresponds to the (1 0 1) plane of the anatase phase of TiO 2 . The doping of TiO 2 with silver is confirmed by the presence of diffraction peaks around 2h = 38.4°, 44.5°and 64.6°w hich corresponds to the (1 1 1), (2 0 0) and (2 2 0) planes of silver, respectively [45]. The average particle size of the prepared nanoparticles was calculated by using the Scherrer's equation D = 0.9k/bcosh, where 'k' is the wave length of X-ray radiation (0.1540 nm), b is FWHM (full width at half maximum) in radians, h is diffraction angle, and D is particle diameter size [7 (b)].…”

Preparation and optical properties of iron-modified titanium dioxide obtained by sol–gel method

“…Properties of TiO 2 could be improved by doping with metal ions, such as silver, nickel, chromium, iron, vanadium, and zinc [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The electronic structure of TiO 2 nanoparticles doped with various metals creates the new chemical compositions and modifies their optical properties [e.g.…”
