Promoting photocatalytic multiple-electron reduction in aerobic solutions using Au-tipped CdSe nanorod clusters.
Clusters of Au-tipped CdSe nanorods have been synthesized through nanorod polymerization driven by the controlled welding of the Au tips. The efficient collection of energetic electrons in the Au nanoparticles leads to a significant enhancement in catalysing multiple-electron reduction reactions by using methylene blue as the redox indicator.
متن کاملGiant reduction of InN surface electron accumulation: compensation of surface donors by Mg dopants.
Extreme electron accumulation with sheet density greater than 10(13) cm(-2) is almost universally present at the surface of indium nitride (InN). Here, x-ray photoemission spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry are used to show that the surface Fermi level decreases as the Mg concentration increases, with the sheet electron density falling to below 10(8) cm(-2). Surface space-charge c...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic properties of titania nanostructured films fabricated from Titania nanosheets.
We examined the photochemical properties of well-ordered multilayer films of titania nanosheets prepared on quartz-glass substrate using the layer-by-layer deposition method. The photocatalytic decomposition of gaseous 2-propanol and bleaching of Methylene Blue dye under UV light illumination were measured to evaluate the photocatalytic oxidation ability. Photoinduced hydrophilicity was also st...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide by water on titania: Role of photophysical and structural properties
Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide has been investigated on three different titania catalysts (two commercial titania, De Gussa P-25 and UV-100 Hombikat and another catalyst prepared by sol-gel method under reverse micelle environment) dispersed in aqueous alkaline medium under irradiation in visible region (300-700 nm) from Hg lamp. The catalysts have been characterized by XRD, diffuse...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic Reduction of Ni (II) Ions Using Low Amounts of Titania Nanoparticles: RSM Modelling, Kinetic
Background: Heavy metals in aquatic systems usually interfere with many beneficial uses of water. Divalent nickel is a commonly occurring toxic metal in natural ecosystems due to the effluent of refineries, electroplating, and casting industries. In aquatic environments, nickel appears as Ni (II) and Ni0. Despite the high reported toxicity for Ni (II), Ni0 is only slightly toxic. Various meth...
