Immobilized particle coating for optimum photon and TiO 2 utilization in scaled air treatment photo reactors

“…literature [20]. This includes physical and chemical vapor deposition, anodic oxidation, atomic layer coating, magnetron sputtering, pulsed laser coating, electro deposition, dip coating [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Dip coating is in fact, one of the most popular methods.…”

Copper: Synthesis Techniques in Nanoscale and Powerful Application as an Antimicrobial Agent

“…The achievements in recent years allow the precise control over the generated structure in the synthesis of Cu NPs depending on the specific application. [30,106,107] Atoms periodicity arrangement AFM, Atomic Force Microscopy [6] Topography EDS/SEM, Electronic Data System/Scanning Electron Microscopy [106] 8 KeV XRD, X-Ray Diffraction [108][109][110] Diameter estimated: 5-16 nm…”

“…In recent years technology has been applied as a key partner in the emergence of the "nanoscience" more focused on the development of new methods to synthesize, study, analyze, and modify particles and nanosized structures, less than 100 nm. It has been shown that the physical properties of the metal nanoparticles are different from the bulk metal, made of the same atoms, which has taken great interest in their promising applications, such as incorporate antibacterial properties as well as their incorporation in pharmaceuticals and textiles and as photocatalysis [1], electrical conductors [2], biochemical sensors [3], and oxidative capacity [4,5] so as to modify the surface properties of other materials [6] like cosmetic pigments [7].…”

TiO2@Sn3O4 nanorods vertically aligned on carbon fiber papers for enhanced photoelectrochemical performance

“…4,5 And metal modication of TiO 2 to increase photocatalytic properties of nanoparticles were reported also. 6,7 Among their methods, heterogeneous photocatalysts were regarded as an effective way to improve photocatalytic activity, since heterojunctions can promote charge migration across both the semiconductor/electrolyte and the semiconductor/ photoelectrode interface effectively separating photogenerated electrons and holes. 8-10 P-SnO/n-TiO 2 composite electrodes revealed a better PEC performance as reported by Naeem et al 11 And tree-like TiO 2 architectures assembled with CdS and reduced graphene oxide can improve photoelectrochemical performance as reported by Pathak et al 12 On the other hand, a mixed-valence tin oxide (Sn 2+ and Sn 4+ ) has a strong resistance against acidic/alkaline solutions and exhibits a good photocatalytic activity without generating secondary pollutants under irradiation with visible light.…”
