Microwave-assisted solvothermal synthesis of hierarchical TiO2 microspheres for efficient electro-field-assisted-photocatalytic removal of tributyltin in tannery wastewater

Highly efficient photocatalytic H2O2production in microdroplets: accelerated charge separation and transfer at interfaces

“…Owing to the formation of a metal-semiconductor heterojunction, Au/TiO 2 and Au/ZnO can probably realize a stronger response to the microdroplet electric field, leading to more significant accelerations. 61 More importantly, as shown in Fig. 5(b) and Table S2 (ESI †), the photocatalytic H 2 O 2 evolution rates in microdroplets are greatly superior to almost all of the previous studies focusing on the complicated photocatalysts engineering, distinctly uncovering that microdroplets are of great promise for highly efficient photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production.…”

Preparation and antibacterial activity of solvothermal synthesized ZnFe2O4/Ag-TiO2 nanocomposite

“…When silver NPs were doped, the size of TiO2 decreased and no regular spherical particles was obtained in Figure 4 (c). The SEM image of the Ag-TiO2, confirmed that the Ag-TiO2 distributed as reunite state and the aggregated particle [26]. As seen in Figure 4 (d), the agglomerated structure happens the scattered, which implies the ZnFe2O4/Ag-TiO2 nanocomposite consisting of ZnFe2O4 and Ag-TiO2.…”

Antifungal and Photocatalytic Activity of Smart Paint Containing Porous Microspheres of TiO2

“…The antifungal activity of titanium dioxide has been studied extensively [33][34][35][36] . However, most previous studies carried out with immobilized photocatalysts involve surfaces coated with TiO 2 films 37-40 and only a few authors report the antifungal activity of photocatalytic paint 8,26,41,42 . To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the antifungal properties of paint containing mesoporous microspheres of TiO 2 evaluated using Monascus ruber as the representative microorganism.…”
