Ag and CuO nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized on the surface of commercial TiO2 (P25) by radiolytic reduction were characterized diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-angle annular dark-field scanning (HAADF-STEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDS), photoelectron (XPS), absorption (XAS). In case modification with silver copper, results from HAADF-STEM, EDS, XPS, XAS show that Ag@CuO (large cores decorated small clusters CuO) obtained TiO2–P25. The...

Abstract Here for the first time design and optimization are presented of a three‐component Au/TiO 2 –gC 3 N 4 nanocomposite photocatalyst able to efficiently produce H from water using very low amounts sacrificial agents under visible light irradiation. This enhanced photocatalytic behavior compared Au/gC materials is result synergetic effects due high quality assembly interface between three components. optimized nanoscale characterized by simultaneous favorable nanoheterojunction...

Small gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) were used to modify the surface of titanium dioxide as visible-light absorbers and thermal redox active centers. Au-NPs synthesized on commercial TiO2 (P25) by reduction with tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride. The Au/P25 composites characterized different techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), photoelectron (XPS). Time-resolved microwave...

Octahedral anatase particles (OAP, with eight equivalent {101} facets) and decahedral (DAP, two additional {001} were modified nanoparticles of noble metals (Au, Ag, Cu). The titania morphology, expressed by the presence different arrangements exposed crystal facets, played a key role in photocatalytic properties metal-modified faceted titania. In UV/vis systems, two-faceted configuration DAP was more favorable for reaction efficiency than single-faceted OAP because an efficient charge...

Heterojunctions of small CuO nanoclusters (synthesized by radiolysis) with TiO2 (commercial P25) induced a photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation in wide range wavelengths due to the narrow bandgap around 1.7 eV. The optical, chemical, and electrical properties these composite nanomaterials were studied. bare modified TiO2–P25 studied for water purification (photooxidation organic compounds such as phenol 2-propanol) hydrogen generation irradiation. Time resolved microwave...

The photocatalytic disinfection (PCD) properties of TiO2 have attracted attention in the research communities because produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) allow destruction different types microbes, such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, algae, unicellular organisms, etc. on surfaces, water, and air. However, requires UV irradiation to produce ROS, which limits its photoactivity indoor environments. Surface-modified with small Ag CuO nanoclusters a core–shell structure exhibits antifungal under...

Virtually transparent photocatalytic multilayer films composed of TiO2 nanoparticles and polyelectrolytes were built on model surfaces using layer-by-layer assembly investigated as nanoporous coatings. Formic acid (HCOOH) Escherichia coli used models for the degradation gaseous pollutants studying antibacterial properties. Positively charged coassembled with negatively poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (NaPSS) which leads to highly nanoscale coatings in content particles is controlled mainly...
