Synthesis and characterization of pure and Fe doped TiO2 thin films for antimicrobial activity

Antibacterial Activity of Visible Light-Activated TiO2 Thin Films with Low Level of Fe Doping

“…Among these semiconductor materials, TiO 2 is probably the most widely studied one owing to a great deal of advantages, i.e., low cost, ready availability, high chemical stability, nontoxicity, environmental friendliness, etc. [9][10][11].…”

“…However, anatase TiO 2 has a relatively large band gap of 3.2 eV and can only be activated under the irradiation of UV light (λ ≤ 387 nm), which limits its utilization in visible and solar irradiation [13]. erefore, in order to extend the spectral response to visible light region, efforts to combine TiO 2 with other elements such as metal deposition [11,[14][15][16][17], nonmetal doping [18][19][20][21], and metal and nonmetal codoping [22,23] have been carried out. Doping TiO 2 with transition metals such as Fe [11,24], Cr [25], Cu [26,27], and Zn [28] is a simple and effective method.…”

More recently, antibacterial properties of TiO 2 with various morphologies such as graphene nanosheet doped TiO 2 [29], titania nanotubes [6], and Fe-Ag/TiO 2 bimetallic nanowires [30] were reported.…”

Solution-combustion synthesis of doped TiO 2 compounds and its potential antileishmanial activity mediated by photodynamic therapy

“…In the three case it is possible to find the dopant as a secondary phase associated with the surface of TiO 2 i.e. PtO, Fe 2 O 3 and ZnO which can also affect the photocatalytic response [56]. Fig.…”

Efficiency of Ilmenite Photocatalyst Material as Modelling for Antimicrobial Activity

“…FeTiO 3 containing ferro(II) oxide (FeO) and TiO 2 are classified in semiconductor materials as smart materials because they have photoactive properties and respond to visible light. The function of adding material elements to the TiO 2 crystal lattice has been extensively studied by various researchers to improve the physical and chemical properties with expectations of providing optimal benefits for human use and utilized as an antimicrobial ingredient [20,21].…”
