“…It results in the formation of Schottky barrier at metal-semiconductor contact region and improves the photocatalytic activity performance of TiO 2 [21]. However, at an amount of 5.0 wt.% of the silver, that is, a decrease of photocatalytic activity, it can be explained by the following effects [17,22,23]: (i) the increasing amount of Ag on the surface of TNTs forms a barrier hindering the contact of MB dye molecules with TNTs [22]; (ii) the Ag nanoparticles prevent the light absorption of TNTs because all of the active sites on the TNTs will be covered by Ag deposition, reducing the efficiency of charge separation increased by the large number of negatively charged Ag particles on the surface TNTs [17,23]; and (iii) it can also act as the recombination center of electrons and holes, leading to the decrease of photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 .…”

“…Therefore, ratio of Ag content after modification process does not agree with ratio of Ag addition. TNTs surface is explained by the mechanism following the reaction equations [17]. First, the TNTs aqueous solution is dispersed in AgNO 3 solution, followed by strong magnetic stirring for 2 hours.…”

“…Não foi possível estabelecer uma relação clara entre concentração de dopante e energia de band gap para as amostras dopadas com amônia. O que se observou é que a amostra de pH 7, tratada em meio ácido e depois dopada com NH 4 OH, apresentou um valor menor de E g que as demais amostras dopadas com NH 4 OH.…”

“…3 Além disso, os NTT são mais fáceis de recuperar da solução, podendo ser reciclados e reutilizados em vários ciclos fotocatalíticos sem sofrer reduções significativas na sua capacidade de fotodegradação. 4,5 Há registro de NTT que mantiveram 90% de sua atividade fotocatalítica após 10 ciclos de reação, o que nem sempre é possível quando se utiliza seu precursor TiO 2 . 6 O aspecto negativo dos NTT é sua elevada energia de band gap, entre 3,3 e 3,87 eV, o que restringe seu uso como fotocatalisadores.…”
