Photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange using polymer–titania microcomposites

Photocatalytic Activity of Reactively Sputtered Titania Coatings Deposited Using a Full Face Erosion Magnetron

“…Based on the 'pass/fail' Rz test, selected samples were then re-tested against methyl orange solutions. Methyl orange (MeO 99.9% pure, Alfa Aesar) was used as a simple model of a series of common azo-dyes widely used in industry [43]. When it is dissolved in distilled water, the MeO UV-vis spectrum shows a strong absorption peak at approximately 464 nm.…”

Plasmonic photocatalytic system using silver chloride/silver nanostructures under visible light

“…Considering that the population of visible light in the sun light is as high as 43%, it needs to exploit titania with photocatalytic activity for visible range. To achieve the high efficiency from both visible range and UV light in solar energy, titania has been doped with metallic and nonmetallic dopants such as transition metals, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur [17][18][19][20][21]. From these researches, the doped titania materials exhibited the shift of adsorption edge and resulted in the enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light.…”

Ag decorated 3D urchin-like TiO2 microstructures synthesized via a one-step solvothermal method and their photocatalytic activity

“…However, large specific surface area also makes these nanomaterials incline to aggregate. It is difficult to disperse the low-dimensional TiO 2 nanomaterials into aqueous solution and their applications are restricted, especially in the water purification [6]. Assemble low-dimensional TiO 2 nanomaterials into 3D microstructure is an effective approach to solve the dispersion of low-dimensional nanomaterials [7e10].…”
