1. Tuning the Photocatalytic Activity of Tin Oxide through Mechanical Surface Activation
Tin oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles were synthesized by the co-precipitation method and mechanically modified by high-energy ball milling. The experimental results demonstrate that the collision with zirconia balls produces slight changes in the crystalline, electronic, morphological, and surface properties of SnO2, which lead to an increase in the redox potentia

2. PHOTODEGRADATION OF RhB UNDER VISIBLE LIGHT BY PT/TIO2 NANOPARTICLES PREPARED THROUGH PHOTOREDUCTIVE DEPOSITION PROCESS
Pt/TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared by a simple two-step aqueous solution method, which consists of a low temperature hydrothermal step and a photoreduction deposition step. The as-prepared samples were characterized by XRD, TEM, XPS, UV-vis, and BET techniques. The as-prepared samples exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity towards the degradation of rho

3. Effect of Growth Parameters on the Photocatalytic Performance of TiO2 Films Prepared by MOCVD
The present study evaluated the main factors that influence the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide (TiO2) films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at 400 and 500 °C, in different growth times. The photocatalytic behavior was analyzed by measuring the methyl orange dye degradation at different pH values. Structural and morpholog

4. Synthesis, Characterization, and Synergic Photocatalytic Activity of Amorphous TiO2/Chitosan Carbon Microspheres
In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of new amorphous graphene-like TiO2/chitosan carbon microspheres and its performance as photocatalyst. Four different carbon chitosan microspheres materials were obtained based on the distinctive procedure to incorporate TiO2 and TiOSO4 to chitosan structure by pyrolysis at 600 °C. Detailed characte

5. Assessment of Reaction Parameters in the Polymeric Carbon Nitride Thermal Synthesis and the Influence in Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production
In this work, the reaction parameters for polymeric carbon nitride synthesis by thermal polycondensation were assessed, such as type of precursor, heating rate and time of thermal treatment, in order to obtain crystalline materials with high photocatalytic performance. All synthesized materials were tested as photocatalysts in hydrogen production using ethyl

6. Synthesis, Characterization and Photocatalytic Activity of Au/SiO2@TiO2 Core-Shell Microspheres
By using HAuCl4 as the gold precursor, spherical Au@SiO2/TiO2 core-shell nanostructures were prepared with the sol-gel method and ethanol reflux. The preparation process was convenient and fast. The obtained samples were characterized by UV-Vis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TE

7. Antifungal and Photocatalytic Activity of Smart Paint Containing Porous Microspheres of TiO2
In this study, porous microspheres of TiO2 (µTiO2) were synthesized, characterized and incorporated into an acrylic paint formulation to obtain a photocatalytically active paint. In a novel approach, the antifungal properties of the µTiO2 paint were evaluated using Monascus ruber as the representative microorganism and compared to those of a photocatalyst-

8. EVALUATION OF THE PHOTOCATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF SiO2@TiO2 HYBRID SPHERES IN THE DEGRADATION OF METHYLENE BLUE AND HYDROXYLATION OF BENZENE: KINETIC AND MECHANISTIC STUDY
Abstract Silica spheres coated with titania (SiO2@TiO2) were synthesized using chitosan as template. The N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms of the spheres point to meso and macroporous characteristics and the elemental mapping by EDS shows uniform distribution of Ti on the surface of the silica spheres, leading to formation of an amorphous structure (XRD). T

10. Influence of doping with Sm3+ on photocatalytic reuse of ZnO thin films obtained by spin coating
ABSTRACT The difficulty in the powder reuse favors the study of materials in the form of thin films. ZnO based films have high photocatalytic potential. In this work, ZnO:xSm3+ (x = 0, 1, 2 and 4 %mol) thin films were prepared by spin coating method. The resins obtained to manufacture the thin films were prepared by complex polymerization method. The samples
