Preparation and characterization of tungsten-loaded titanium dioxide photocatalyst for enhanced dye degradation

Photocatalytic Degradation of Ibuprofen Using TiO<sub>2</sub> and Ecotoxicological Assessment of Degradation Intermediates against <i>Daphnia similis</i>

“…The results show that the optimum pH value to degrade IBF was observed at pH 7.8. The pH of zero point of charge (ZPC) for titanium dioxide is reported to be pH 6.25 -6.4 [23]- [25]. The IBF is a weak acid with pKa value of 4.4.…”

TiO2/WO3 hybrid structures produced through a sacrificial polymer layer technique for pollutant photo- and photoelectrooxidation under ultraviolet and visible light illumination

“…powder sol-gel mixing [7], impregnation and thermal treatment [8][9][10], magnetron and dc facing targets sputtering [11,12], pulsed laser deposition [13] and electrosynthesis [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Electrosythesis was proposed as an alternative route for the production of TiO 2 /WO 3 composites offering advantages such as simplicity of equipment, opportunity to control the layer thickness and use various conducting substrates.…”

The effect of rare earth dopants on the structure, surface texture and photocatalytic properties of TiO2–SiO2 prepared by sol–gel method

“…Although doping of lanthanide ions into TiO 2 attracted some attentions [22][23][24][25][26], such works are little so far. Incorporation of lanthanide ions into a TiO 2 matrix could provide a means to concentrate on the organic pollutant at the semiconductor surface and therefore enhance the photoactivity of titania [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38].…”
