Abstract:Plasmonic metal/semiconductor composites have attracted great attention for efficient solar energy harvesting in photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications owing to their extremely high visible-light absorption and tuned effective band gap. In this work, Ag-loaded TiO2 nanocolumn (Ag-TNC) arrays were fabricated based on anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by combining atomic layer deposition (ALD) and vacuum evaporation. The effects of the Ag loading position and deposition thickness, and the morphology, st… Show more
“…The results obtained in this work are good and t well with the previously published ndings for similar catalysts, where comparable or even larger drops in catalyst efficiency were observed aer cycling. [55][56][57] Our results indicate that the prepared Ag-TiO 2 NPs possess high stability and durability thus opening the path, aer further studies, for a possible future industrial application.…”

Ag nanoparticles decorated-TiO2 P25 are a viable alternative for the degradation, through a rutile-mediated mechanism, of fluoroquinolone-based antibiotics under visible light irradiation and, at the same time, for bacteria inactivation in water.
