We report on the synthesis, morphology, chemically and structurally of TiO2-NiO-SiO2 nanostructure. The TiO2-NiO-SiO2 nanostructure was synthesized by a method based on the sol-gel method, by the simultaneous gelation of all cations. The coatings were deposited on dried soda-lime glass slides by spin coating. Composite powders and coating on glass hav...

The high pollution levels in our cities are producing a significant increase of dust on buildings. An application of photoactive coatings on building materials can produce buildings with self-cleaning surfaces. In this study, we have developed a simple sol-gel route for producing Au-TiO₂/SiO₂ photocatalysts with application on buildings. The gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) improved the TiO₂ photoact...

Herein, we demonstrate the design and fabrication of the well-defined triple-shelled Ag@Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2 nanospheres with burr-shaped hierarchical structures, in which the multiple distinct functional components are integrated wonderfully into a single nanostructure. In comparison with commercial TiO2 (P25), pure TiO2 microspheres, Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2 and annealed Ag@Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2 nanocomposites, ...

Nanocrystallized SiO2-TiO2 with tubular mesopores was prepared via the sol-gel technique. Gold was deposited in the tubular mesopores of the nanocrystallized SiO2-TiO2. The shape of the gold was varied from one-dimensional [1-D] to zero-dimensional [0-D] nanostructures by an increase in TiO2 content and ultraviolet [UV] irradiation during gold deposition. 1-D gold nanostructures [GNSs] were mai...

Protein aggregation is a problem in biotechnology. High temperature is one of the most important reasons to enhance enzyme inactivation and aggregation in industrial systems. This work focuses on the effect of TiO2 and SiO2 nanoparticles on refolding and reactivation of lysozyme. In the presence of TiO2 and SiO2 nanoparticles, after enzyme heat treatment at 98C for 30 min, not only aggregates w...

TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method at 180 ̊C from TiOSO4 aqueous solution with1m/l concentration. The obtained products were coated with silica by means of a seeded polymerization technique for a coating time of 1440 minutes to obtain well defined TiO2@SiO2 core-shell structure. The uncoated and coated nanoparticles were characterized by using X-Ray diffraction technique ...

We have been prepared Semiconducting oxide material like TiO2, SiO2, TiO2-SiO2 and TiO2/SiO2 thin films for taken different composition by using hydrothermal method. All these elements were deposited on the glass substrate. In this films are acted on the p and n type working with the majority carrier are recombination of electron and hole .This material is N type but it will acted p-type Ti and...

The study compares the photocatalytic behavior of TiO2, NiO-TiO2, and Ni-NiO-TiO2 photocatalysts in hydrogen production from methanol–water solution. TiO2 NiO-TiO2 with theoretical NiO loading 0.5, 1.0, 3.0 wt. % were prepared by sol–gel method. partial reduction at 450 °C. showed significantly higher than photocatalysts. structural, textural, redox, optical properties all studied using XRD, SE...
