Tuning TiO2 nanoparticle morphology in graphene-TiO2 hybrids by graphene surface modification.
We report the hydrothermal synthesis of graphene (GNP)-TiO2 nanoparticle (NP) hybrids using COOH and NH2 functionalized GNP as a shape controller. Anatase was the only TiO2 crystalline phase nucleated on the functionalized GNP, whereas traces of rutile were detected on unfunctionalized GNP. X-Ray Photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed C-Ti bonds on all hybrids, thus confirming heterogeneous nu...
متن کاملHard and Transparent Films Formed by Nanocellulose–TiO2 Nanoparticle Hybrids
The formation of hybrids of nanofibrillated cellulose and titania nanoparticles in aqueous media has been studied. Their transparency and mechanical behavior have been assessed by spectrophotometry and nanoindentation. The results show that limiting the titania nanoparticle concentration below 16 vol% yields homogeneous hybrids with a very high Young's modulus and hardness, of up to 44 GPa and ...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of a Ag nanoparticle-modified and graphene-wrapped TiO2 nanobelt ternary heterostructure: surface charge tuning toward efficient photocatalysis.
In recent years, tremendous research efforts have been made towards developing graphene (GR)-based nanocomposites for photocatalytic applications. In this work, surface-coarsened TiO2 nanobelts (SC-TNBs) closely enwrapped with monodispersed Ag nanoparticles (NPs) and GR nanosheets (i.e. Ag/GR/SC-TNBs) were fabricated using a facile self-assembly strategy followed by photoreduction. It was found...
متن کاملReducing ZnO nanoparticle cytotoxicity by surface modification.
Nanoparticulate zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of the most widely used engineered nanomaterials and its toxicology has gained considerable recent attention. A key aspect for controlling biological interactions at the nanoscale is understanding the relevant nanoparticle surface chemistry. In this study, we have determined the disposition of ZnO nanoparticles within human immune cells by measurement of ...
متن کاملComparison of TiO2 nanoparticle and graphene-TiO2 nanoparticle composite phototoxicity to Daphnia magna and Oryzias latipes.
With a dramatic rise in complexity, needs of nanotoxicology research go beyond simple forms of nanomaterials. This study compared the phototoxicity of nano-TiO2 and graphene-TiO2 nanocomposite (GNP). GNP was synthesized based on a hydrothermal method, which simultaneously performed the reduction of graphene oxide and nano-TiO2 loading. A series of acute toxicity tests of nano-TiO2, graphene and...
