Nanostructured Sheets of Ti–O Nanobelts for Gas Sensing and Antibacterial Applications**
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three types of Ti–O-compound-based nanobelts (Na2Ti3O7, H2Ti3O7, TiO2) are prepared from commercial TiO2 powders via an alkaline hydrothermal process. Nanostructured sheets based on the as-synthesized nanobelts are prepared using a paper-making process. The nanobelts are connected with hydrogen bonds or/and bridge oxygen atoms and packed together, forming a paperlike porous network structure, with an average pore size of 500 nm. The electrical properties and gas sensing of the nanostructured sheets are demonstrated to display sensitivity down to sub-ppb levels. H2Ti3O7 nanobelts decorated with Ag nanoparticles have also been applied as an antibacterial agent.

Ethanol (C2H6O) sensitivity of zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film has been studied in present work. Semiconductor thin films of zinc oxide (ZnO) were deposited onto alkali-free glass substrates by the sol–gel method and dip-coating technique. The ZnO sol was synthesized by dissolving zinc acetate dehydrate in ethanol, and then adding Tetra ethanol-amine. The as-coated films were preheated at 150 ºC fo...
