Defects oriented hydrothermal synthesis of TiO2 and MnTiO2 nanoparticles as photocatalysts for wastewater treatment and antibacterial applications

Effects of TiO2 Nanoparticles Synthesized via Microwave Assistance on Adsorption and Photocatalytic Degradation of Ciprofloxacin

“…Different methods exist for synthesizing TiO 2 , such as the sol-gel method [ 10 ], the sol-gel-hydrothermal method [ 20 ], the hydrothermal method [ 21 ], the solvothermal method [ 22 ], and the recently appeared microwave-assisted synthesis method [ 11 , 13 , 23 ].…”

Self-doping synthesis of nano-TiO2 with outstanding antibacterial properties under visible light

“…The antibacterial tests showed that TiO 2 /graphene nanostructure had a good inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria with inhibition zones of 36 and 29 mm, respectively. Awan et al [ 25 ] synthesized pure TiO 2 and MnTiO 2 nanoparticles using the defect-oriented hydrothermal method, MnTiO 2 -NPs showed significantly higher photocatalytic activity than pure TiO 2 .The antibacterial activity was also tested against E. coli and S. aureus, MnTiO 2 -NPs shows superior antibacterial efficacy than pure TiO 2 . Rilda et al [ 26 ] prepared ZnO–TiO 2 nanorods with route precipitation and sintering at 600 °C, then ZnO–TiO 2 was coated on cotton cloth using a dip-spin method.…”
