“…Although rutile appears to absorb slightly in the visible region and is the most thermodynamically stable polymorph, anatase is the preferred phase for photocatalytic applications. [6][7][8][19][20][21] Self-cleaning process…”
The present work provides a brief but wide ranging survey of the different methods that may be used to apply thick films of titanium dioxide for self-cleaning building materials. This survey is preceded by a general description of the photocatalytic applications of TiO 2 , a tabulated list of some relevant properties of the three naturally occurring polymorphs of TiO 2 and a tabulated survey of world market shares and resources of TiO 2 . The survey of coating technologies consists of succinct coverage of twenty potential periodic and continuous routes for the application of liquid borne suspensions of TiO 2 to building units. This coverage consists mainly of an illustration accompanied by relevant comments concerning the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

“…Among different semiconductors (TiO2, WO3,Fe2O3,SrTiO3,ZnO,etc. ) that can be used in photocatalytic process for degradation of organic pollutants, TiO2 has received a particular interest because of its high activity, chemical stability, relatively low cost and low toxicity [Mory 2005;Sharon et al 2016;Tang et al 2018]. However, the research on the improved photocatalyst design is still under way.…”
Due to its unique supramolecular structure, cellulose is widely used as a template agent, ensuring an easy structuring of anatase TiO2 particles with subsequent release after the organics burning. This work is devoted to the synthesis of microcrystalline cellulose-TiO2 (MCC-TiO2) composite photocatalyst by preserving the intermediate organic-inorganic structures. A series of the MCC-TiO2 materials were prepared via solvothermal sol-gel method in n-decane and caproic acid solvents and characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, IR spectroscopy, 1 Н NMR and TG/DSC methods. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared materials was evaluated by the decomposition of formic acid in aqueous solutions. The composites failed to be formed in n-decane, while in caproic acid, acting as solvent and reagent, anatase TiO2 nanoparticles were formed onto the crystalline domains of cellulose, tightly fixed due to covalent Ti-O-C bonds. The materials formed in caproic acid showed a higher photocatalytic activity, explained by a complementarity of the organic and inorganic components. The specific activity (normalized on TiO2 mass) of best synthetized composite materials was almost twice higher than that of Aeroxide P25 TiO 2 reference photocatalyst.
“…Titanium dioxide which is known as Titania occurs in four forms: Rutile (Eg = 3.0 eV), Anatase (Eg = 3.2 eV), Brookite (Eg = 2.96 eV) and TiO 2 -β. Brookite and Anatase phases are rare and have more photocatalytic activity than Rutile phase [1]. TiO 2 is desirable due to its inertness, stability, and low cost [2].…”
TiO 2 nano particles were synthesized in Rutile and Anatase phases by sol-gel method using two kind of complex agents, acidic (Citric Acid) and organic complex agent (acetyl acetone) at 400˚C, 500˚C, 650˚C sintering temperatures. The structural analysis by XRD diffraction confirmed phase formation of titanium oxide. Particles sizes were determined by using Scherrer formula. TEM was employed to confirm nano particles formation. The size of nano particles as well as Phase formation can be controlled by the type of complex agent and sintering temperature. Acetyl Acetone causes a more crystalline structure and more uniformity of size distribution in 400˚C sintering temperatures. Moreover, it results in obtaining single phase TiO 2 nanoparticles at 400˚C and 650˚C sintering temperature. On the other hand, at high sintering temperature, the particles obtained from polymeric agent tend to agglomerate larger in size than the acidic product.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
