The TiO2-Fe3O4 composite materials were fabricated via the hydrothermal-assisted technique. It was determined how the molar ratio of TiO2 to Fe3O4 influences the crystalline structure and morphology of the synthesized composite materials. The effect of the molar ratio of components on the antibacterial activity was also analyzed. On the basis of XRD patterns for the obtained titanium(IV) oxide-iron(II, III) oxide composites, the two separate crystalline forms—anatase and magnetite —were observed. Transmission electron microscopy revealed particles of cubic and tetragonal shape for TiO2 and spherical for Fe3O4. The results of low-temperature nitrogen sorption analysis indicated that an increase in the iron(II, III) oxide content leads to a decrease in the BET surface area. Moreover, the superparamagnetic properties of titanium(IV) oxide-iron(II, III) oxide composites should be noted. An important aim of the work was to determine the antibacterial activity of selected TiO2-Fe3O4 materials. For this purpose, two representative strains of bacteria, the Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, were used. The titanium(IV) oxide-iron(II, III) oxide composites demonstrated a large zone of growth inhibition for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, it was found that the analyzed materials can be reused as antibacterial agents in three consecutive cycles with good results.

“…Nanocatalyst has emerged as an alternative to increase catalytic efficiency, since it has advantages over commercial catalysts, such as higher specific surface area and porosity, making them with great potential application in heterogeneous photocatalysis 10 . One of the strategies used to increase the photocatalytic activity of nanocatalysts is the usage of hybridization with noble metal and metals, in order to reduce the recombination between photoelectrons/holes pairs and reducing the energy required to its photoactivation, allowing its application to visible radiation [11][12][13][14][15][16] . In addition, Rhodamine B dye (RhB) (C 28 H 31 N 2 O 3 Cl), a highly water soluble organic cation dye, belongings to the class of xanthenes, whose contact with humans can cause irritation to the skin, airways and eyes 17 .…”

nowadays, there is a growing concern about the environmental impacts of colored wastewater. thus, the present work aims the synthesis, characterization and determination of photocatalytic activity of iron oxide (fe 2 o 3) nanocatalyst, evaluating the effect of hybridization with titanium (TiNPs-Fe 2 o 3) and silver (AgNPs-Fe 2 o 3) nanoparticles, on the degradation of Rhodamine B dye (RhB). nanocatalysts were characterized by XRD, SeM, teM, ftiR, n 2 porosimetry (Bet/BJH method), zeta potential and DRS. photocatalytic tests were performed in a slurry reactor, with the nanocatalyst in suspension, using RhB as a target molecule, under ultraviolet (UV) and visible radiation. therefore, the photocatalytic activity of the nanocatalysts (non-doped and hybridized) was evaluated in these ideal conditions, where the AgNPs-Fe 2 o 3 sample showed the best photocatalytic activity with a degradation of 94.1% (k = 0.0222 min −1 , under UV) and 58.36% (k = 0.007 min −1 , under visible), while under the same conditions, the tio 2-P25 commercial catalyst showed a degradation of 61.5% (k = 0.0078 min −1) and 44.5% (k = 0.0044 min −1), respectively. According with the ideal conditions determined, reusability of the AgNPs-Fe 2 o 3 nanocatalyst was measured, showing a short reduction (about 8%) of its photocatalytic activity after 5 cycles. Thus, the Fe 2 o 3 nanocatalyst can be considered a promising catalyst in the heterogeneous photocatalysis for application in the degradation of organic dyes in aqueous solution.

“…The combination of MgAC and other nanomaterials for environmental treatment purposes in the rst step showed positive responses in both adsorption performance, stability, and reusability. [19][20][21][22][23] In such cases, MgAC with amine functional groups, which acted as interaction sites with other nanomaterials, signicantly increased loading efficiency, a homogeneous dispersion, and created many individual active sites, avoiding agglomeration, and ensuring long-term structural stability. 24,25 In this work, a simple two-step electrochemical method using MgAC as a great stabilizer and reductant is introduced for the rst time, facilitating the better uniform formation and long-term stability of Ag@ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) on the MgAC matrix without using any chemical additives.…”
