Photocatalytic degradation of acetone by Ni-doped titania thin films prepared by dc reactive sputtering

Effect of surface fluorination on the photocatalytic and photo-induced hydrophilic properties of porous TiO2 films

“…TiO 2 film has been intensively investigated due to its great variety of applications such as photocatalysis [1,2], solar cells [3,4], sensors [5], lithium batteries [6], antimicrobial activity [7,8] as well as self-cleaning and antifogging [9][10][11]. Furthermore, compared with TiO 2 powder, the advantages of TiO 2 film, such as easy separation, recovery and high recycle rate, make for its practical application.…”

Photocatalytic antibacterial activity of nano-TiO2 (anatase)-based thin films: Effects on Escherichia coli cells and fatty acids

“…Antibacterial applications of TiO 2 often use thin film coatings that can be deposited by various methods including sputtering [17], chemical solution deposition [18], pulsed laser deposition [19] or sol-gel method [20][21][22][23].…”

Photocatalytic Decomposition of Synthetic Alizarin Red S by Nickel Doped TiO2

“…In such publications, it has been reported that metal-semiconductor materials can be synthesized by using various methods i.e. sol-gel, incipient impregnation, spray pyrolysis and plasma sputtering etc., [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The advances in the photodecomposition of dyes and important information about the improvement of the photoactivity of semiconductors have also been reported in these publications.…”

“…[14][15][16]. Recently, nickel has been reported as a potential doping metal for improving the photocatalytic properties of the titanium semiconductor in the photoassisted degradation of pollutants [10][11][12][13][16][17][18].…”
