Lightless catalytic layered chitosan coating film using doped TiO2@metal ions nanoparticles for highly efficient dye degradation in aqueous media and disinfection applications

Surface modification of TiO2 nanoparticles with organic molecules and their biological applications

“…94 For instance, in 2022, Moulahou et al synthesized TiO 2 –chitosan nanocomposites (TiO 2 NPs–CS) and combined them with various metal ions (silver, zinc, copper, and iron) to prepare novel chitosan-based films and improve the physicochemical and biological activities of the individual components. 95 The antimicrobial properties of these films were studied against three pathogens ( P. aeruginosa , C. albicans , and S. aureus ) under different light conditions. Among these nanocomposites, TiO 2 NPs–CS–Ag showed the best antibacterial activity.…”
