Photodegradation of dye pollutant under UV light by nano-catalyst doped titania thin films

Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue by TiO2–Cu thin films: Theoretical and experimental study

“…It can be observed that the TiO 2 -Cu-100 film presents the highest surface energy and consequently quite small contact angles for all liquids employed. A similar behavior was reported for TiO 2 -Mn films, where the contact angle for low dopant concentration decreases and then increases again for higher doping levels [15]. It is expected that the metal dopant reduces the Ti 4+ to Ti 3+ ratio on the surface.…”

A facile one-pot synthesis of TiO2-based nanosheets loaded with Mn O nanoparticles with enhanced visible light–driven photocatalytic performance for removal of Cr(VI) or RhB

“…The electrons injected into the conduction bands of TNSs will participate in the photo-reaction processes described above [Eqs. (3) [56]. These processes not only can accelerate the interfacial charge transfer rate, but also enhance the generation of highly reactive oxidative species such as superoxide and hydroxyl radicals.…”

In situ photoexcitation of silver-doped titania nanopowders for activity against bacteria and yeasts

“…Anatase shows excellent photoactivity and has been used in catalysis of photoinduced advanced oxidative processes and in destroying various pollutants in water, aqueous solutions, and air [11][12][13]. This photocatalytic properties have also been exploited in destroying bacteria [14,15] or in improving the efficacy chemotherapy [16].…”
