Novel photocatalytic antibacterial activity of TiO2 microspheres exposing 100% reactive {111} facets.
نویسندگان
چکیده
TiO(2) microspheres constructed by well-crystallized faceted nanorods with high aspect ratios expose 100% photocatalytic reactive {111} facets on the spherical surface. The microspheres demonstrated excellent photocatalytic antibacterial activity towards Staphylococcus aureus due to effective suppression of photoinduced electron-hole pair recombination and active TiO(2)@˙OH core-shell structure.

Anatase TiO2 Single Crystals Exposed with High-Reactive {111} Facets Toward Efficient H2 Evolution
In this study, for the first time, {111} facet exposed anatase TiO2 single crystals are prepared via both F− and ammonia as the capping reagents. In comparison with the most investigated {001}, {010}, and {101} facets for anatase TiO2, the density functional theory (DFT) calculations predict that {111} facet owns a much higher surface energy of 1.61 J/m, which is partially attributed to the lar...
متن کاملTunable photocatalytic selectivity of TiO2 films consisted of flower-like microspheres with exposed {001} facets.
TiO(2) films composed of flower-like TiO(2) microspheres with exposed {001} facets were synthesized by a simple one-pot hydrothermal method and exhibited tunable photocatalytic selectivity towards decomposition of azo dyes in water by modifying the surface of TiO(2) microspheres as well as by varying the degree of etching of {001} facets.
متن کاملDisinfection Kinetics and Contribution of Reactive Oxygen Species When Eliminating Bacteria with TiO2 Induced Photocatalysis
Titania (TiO2) induced photocatalysis has been widely investigated and applied as a disinfection strategy in many industrial and clinical applications. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), including hydroxyl radicals (•OH), superoxide radicals ( − •2 O ) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), generated in the photocatalytic reaction process are considered to be the active components prompting the bactericidal...
متن کاملHydrothermal etching fabrication of TiO2@graphene hollow structures: mutually independent exposed {001} and {101} facets nanocrystals and its synergistic photocaltalytic effects
Highly exposed facets TiO2 attracts enormous attention due to its excellent separation effect of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and induced high performance of photocatalytic activity. Herein, a novel hydrothermal etching reaction was used to synthesize graphene-wrapped TiO2 hollow core-shell structures. Different with the reported co-exposed facets TiO2 single crystal nanoparticles, the pr...
متن کاملControlled synthesis and visible light photocatalytic activity of Bi12GeO20 uniform microcrystals
We successfully synthesized uniform Bi12GeO20 microspheres and microtetrahedrons enclosed by four {111} facets using a controlled hydrothermal method for the first time. The photocatalytic activity of these regular-shaped products was further investigated by the degradation of RhB and gaseous formaldehyde under visible light irradiation (λ>420 nm). The Bi12GeO20 microtetrahedrons (s) exhibited ...
