Synthesis and comparison of the photocatalytic activities of flame spray pyrolysis and sol–gel derived magnesium oxide nano-scale particles

“…7. By using the converted molarity values photocatalytical degradation kinetics were calculated for whole cases using following equation [26] ln…”

Enhanced visible light promoted antibacterial efficiency of conjugated microporous polymer nanoparticles via molecular doping

“…In comparison to conventional inactivation methods, PDT presents the advantage of not inducing the selection of resistant strains since its mode of action is based on the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon light irradiation. 6,7 Recently, a range of inorganic or metalloorganic semiconductor photocatalysts primary based on TiO 2 , 8,9 porphyrin derivatives and other metal-based complexes have been developed as suitable materials for disinfection. 6,10,11 Besides these metalcontaining active systems, recent studies have reported the development of pure organic and metal-free semiconductors based on water soluble conjugated polymers with visible light induced antibacterial properties.…”

Fabrication and photoelectrochemical study of vertically oriented TiO 2 /Ag/SiNWs arrays

“…The band gaps of TiO 2 /Ag/SiNWs, and TiO 2 /Si are estimated by DRS (diffuse reflectance spectra) by ploting the Kubelka-Munk functions (F(R)) versus the photon energy (E ph ) [26,27]. The band gaps are calculated to be 3.20, 3.08 eV for TiO 2 /Si and TiO 2 /Ag/ SiNWs, respectively.…”
