Preparation of TiO2–SiO2 film with high photocatalytic activity on PET substrate

Synthesis and characterization of TiO2/SiO2 nano composites for solar cell applications

“…The XRD pattern of prepared SiO 2 nanoparticle and TiO 2 /SiO 2 nanocomposites shows the presence of very broad peak. The broad peak indicates that either the particles are of very small crystallite size, or particles are semi crystalline in nature (Yeh et al 2004;Zhou et al 2006). The average crystalline sizes of the as-synthesized nanoparticles were estimated from XRD line broadening using Scherrer's equation (Castro et al 2008;Bartram 1967) by considering the full width and half maximum (FWHM) value (shown in Table 1).…”

Sol-Gel Preparation of Nanoscale TiO<sub>2</sub>/SiO<sub>2</sub> Composite for Eliminating of Con Red Azo Dye

“…It has been reported that photocatalytic reactivity of TiO 2 / SiO 2 nanocomposites is highly dependent on the Ti/Si ratios [14][15][16][17]. The photocatalytic activity and mechanical stability was reported to improve by the addition of about 50% SiO 2 [18].…”

Synthesis of APTMS-Functionalized SiO2/TiO2 Transparent Film Using Peroxo Titanic Acid Refluxed Solution for Formaldehyde Removal

“…The peak at 900 cm −1 is assigned to a stretching mode frequency of the O-O bond of peroxo group (Ge et al 2007). In addition, the peaks correspond to the Si-O-Si bond stretching of silanol group around 1,127 and 1,030 cm −1 ; the symmetric deformation vibration of Si-C stretching at 780 cm −1 and the N-H stretching at 1,416 cm −1 was observed in the APTMS-functionalized SiO 2 /TiO 2 (Wang et al 2006;Zhou et al 2006;Zhu et al 2005;Socrates 2001). Moreover, all observed peaks appeared when increasing refluxing time and pH of PTA solution.…”
