Photocatalytic property of colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles prepared by sparking process

Effect of high roughness on a long aging time of superhydrophilic TiO2 nanoparticle thin films

“…In our previous work [20], very small and uniform TiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully prepared using a sparking process. This novel technique is low cost, rapid and uses non-toxic starting materials (e.g.…”

External-Electric-Field-Enhanced Uniformity and Deposition Rate of a TiO2 Film Prepared by the Sparking Process

“…The agglomeration or the sticking of particles to one another is a natural phenomenon of nanoparticles. Our previous papers [18,19], showed that the as-deposited particles produced by the spark- ing process are small with primary sizes of about 1-5 nm. Compared with those works, the primary sizes of particles could be still the same, because we use the same condition for the sparking process and improve only the applied external electric field.…”

“…The sparking process is an effective, inexpensive, and rapid technique to synthesize highquality nanoparticles and thin films. Using this process, films can be deposited directly onto a substrate without the need for a vacuum system [18,19].…”

Green and facile electrode modification by spark discharge: Bismuth oxide-screen printed electrodes for the screening of ultra-trace Cd(II) and Pb(II)

“…The related literature includes only a few applications on the preparation of nanoparticles (NPs), derived from the material(s) of the electrodes between which the sparking occurs [3,4], the deposition of them onto solid substrates [5][6][7], and the development of nanostructures [8,9].…”
