TiO2 photocatalysts have been found to kill cancer cells, bacteria and viruses under mild UV illumination, which offers numerous potential applications. On the other hand, Ag has long been proved as a good antibacterial material as well. The advantage of Ag-TiO2 nanocomposite is to expand the nanomaterial's antibacterial function to a broader range of working conditions. In this study neat TiO2...

NanoTiO2 , nanoZrO2 and TiO2 /ZrO2 nanocomposite were prepared via sol gel method by using ultrasonic irradiation. The precursor sol of zirconium was prepared from an aqueous solution of ZrCl4 and titanium tetra 2-propoxide was diluted by 2-propanol and deionized water The TiO2 /ZrO2 nanocomposite was synthesized from directly mixing Titanium dried gel into Zirconium gel. The reaction mixture w...

In the present study, a nanocrystalline Ni-Fe matrix with reinforced TiO2 nanoparticles as functional nanocomposite material was fabricated by pulsed current electroforming in UV-LIGA (lithography, electroplating, and molding). The influences of on deposition were also investigated using scanning electron microscopy, transmission vitro cytotoxicity assay. It found that 5 wt.% showed smooth surf...

Abstarct: Nanostructured colloidal semiconductors with heterogeneous photocatalytic behavior have drawn considerable attention over the past few years. This is due to their large surface area, high redox potential of the photogenerated charge carriers, and selective reduction/oxidation of different classes of organic compounds. In the present paper, we have carried out a systematic synthesis of...

Novel ternary nanocomposite photocatalysts based on g-C3N4/Fe3O4/TiO2 nanosheet were synthesized using simple solid combustion, hydrothermal and wetness impregnation methods. The g-C3N4 nanosheet (2D)/ Fe3O4/ TiO2 nanosheet (2D) triad-interface nanocomposite arranged in the form of Fe3O4 nanoparticle was sandwiched and well dispersed on the surface between g-C3N4 and TiO2 nanosheets. The synthe...

The surface properties of TiO2-PVDF nanocomposite membranes were investigated by incorporating different chemically modified TiO2 nanoparticles into the poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix. The nanocomposite membranes were prepared via dual coagulation bath diffusion and the induced phase inversion method. The membrane surface morphologies were investigated by using SEM and AFM and related...

Plasmonic photocatalytic nanocomposites of TiO2 and Au nanoparticles (NPs) have recently attracted the attention researchers, who aim to improve activity potential NPs. In this study, we report enhancement for a Au/TiO2 nanocomposite prepared by plasma–liquid interaction method using an atmospheric microplasma apparatus. The enhanced is demonstrated degradation methylene blue (MB) in water unde...

The results of this study indicate that titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO2) possess adsorptive, photocatalytic, bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal properties, which are used in antibacterial coating, for air water disinfection. In parallel with studies the physicochemical characteristics dioxide, its toxicological assessment was carried out to prevent possible harmful effects on huma...

Herein, a ternary nanocomposite with TiO2 nanoparticles anchored on reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-encapsulated Fe3O4 spheres (Fe3O4@rGO@TiO2) is presented as a high efficient heterogeneous catalyst for photo-Fenton degradation of recalcitrant pollutants under neutral pH. Fe3O4@rGO@TiO2 was synthesized by depositing TiO2 nanoparticles on the surface of the Fe3O4 spheres wrapped by graphene oxide ...
