Titanium Dioxide Sol-gel Schottky Diodes and Effect of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticle

Graphite / Titanium Dioxide Composite

Nanosized titanium dioxide (TiO2) in its anatase form is the most frequently studied and as well as used photocatalyst. There are several syntheses procedures which enable to achieve photocatalytic TiO2. The solgel method utilizing titanium alkoxides is used most often. Alternative precursors such as titanium tetrachloride and titanyl sulphate are also frequently employed. Nowadays the environm...

Polypropylene/titanium Dioxide Nanocomposites

Titanium Dioxide in Sunscreen

Titanium dioxide has been used in various industrial and cosmetic applications due to its unique elemental properties. This substance has a refractive index higher than most other compounds (n = 2.6142, in comparison to water at 20°C n = 1.33). This allows titanium dioxide to have an iridescent and bright quality. It has been used in the cosmetics industry for “whitening” and “thickening” in mu...

Titanium dioxide nanocrystalline bactericidal thin films grown by sol-gel technique

Titanium dioxide thin films were grown by sol–gel technique in order to obtain films to be used in photocatalytic reactions. We present results on the structural and optical characterization measured for series of films in which number of layers and sintering temperature were changed. Using X-ray diffraction we have characterized the crystalline phase in the films depending on the growth condit...

Molecular dynamics simulation of titanium dioxide nanoparticle sintering.

Nanoparticles have been an area of active research in recent years due to their properties, which can be greatly different from the bulk. In this work, we study the sintering of TiO2 nanoparticles using molecular dynamics simulations. Such sintering occurs in flame reactors where nanotitania is prepared via the chloride process. Decrease in free energy due to reduction in surface area is the ma...
