Understanding the solar photo-catalytic activity of TiO2–ITO nanocomposite deposited on low cost substrates

Preparation and characterization of photoactive composite kaolinite/TiO2

“…Paints containing nanosized photocatalysts, as well as the polymer/TiO 2 nanocomposites, represent possible danger by the means of releasing of nanosized particles due to the deterioration of material cohesion [17,18]. Growing and anchoring of the nanosized TiO 2 particles on the surface of a suitable substrate prevents the release of nanoparticles to the environment, whereas the substrates can represent an inert part [19], or can bring additional functions at final composite [20,21]. A number of substrates has already been studied for anchoring of the TiO 2 on their surface.…”

Kinetics and Mechanism of Aniline and Chloroanilines Degradation Photocatalyzed by Halloysite-TiO2 and Halloysite-Fe2O3 Nanocomposites

“…TiO 2 nanoparticles can be released into the environment during the production and the use and/or storage of materials containing this material [15]. For this reason, the use of nanocomposites containing properly comminuted and immobilized TiO 2 nanoparticles on the surface of an appropriate carrier prevents the release of these nanoparticles into the environment [16]. Natural clay minerals are sufficient as carrier materials due to their high specific surface area, large pore volumes, chemical stability, good mechanical properties, availability, and low cost [17].…”

Effect of temperature and NO 2 surface adsorption on electrical properties of screen printed ITO thin film

“…Screen printed ITO was also used in TiO 2 -ITO nanocomposite that showed an improved solar photo-catalytic activity [9].…”
