Silver–TiO2 nanocomposites: Synthesis and harmful algae bloom UV-photoelimination

Genotoxicity, potential cytotoxicity and cell uptake of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in the marine fish Trachinotus carolinus (Linnaeus, 1766)

“…The acute and/or chronic effects of nanoparticles on marine organisms remain poorly understood (Klaine et al, 2008;Ward and Kach, 2009). The effects of TiO 2 have been studied in marine algae (Rodríguez-González et al, 2010), marine phytoplankton (Miller et al, 2012), polychaete (Galloway et al, 2010), and bivalves (Canesi et al, 2010). Studies of the effects of nanoparticles on marine fish are extremely rare.…”

Fabrication and morphological characterizations of immobilized silver-loaded titanium dioxide nanoparticles/polyvinyl alcohol nanocomposites

“…Silver nitrate was used as a silver source. The Ag immobilization onto the TiO 2 NPs was reported based on the earlier work [32].…”

Photocatalytic Semiconductors

“…Among the different doped materials reported, silver, vanadium, iron, and palladium-modified nitrogen-doped TiO 2 have been tested to enhance photocatalytic performance of titania for gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Prevotella intermedia inactivation in water Wu et al 2008;Sun et al 2010;Ubonchonlakate et al 2012;Nair et al 2012) as well as some gram-positive bacteria, i.e., MRSA, Staphylococcus epidermidis, S. saprophyticus, S. pyogenes, Streptococcus aureus, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Mo et al 2007;Sheel et al 2008;Lu et al 2006;Erkan et al 2006), and a few protozoa such as Tetraselmis suecica, Amphidinium carterae, and Chlorella vulgaris (Rodríguez-González et al 2010;Foster et al 2011). …”
