Abstract:

TiO2-SiO2 core-shell particles include of monodisperse silica core and nanostructured titania shell were synthesized by a multi-step coating process. The monodisperse silica spheres were synthesized by Stöber method and titania shell was obtained of a colloidal sol prepared by a hydrolysis–condensation reaction. The titania sol was deposited on monodisperse silica spheres by a multi-step coating method based on electrostatic attraction. Characterization was performed by DLS, SEM, DTA-TG, FT-IR and XRD. Also, the activity of the core-shell particles was evaluated using methyl orange photodegradation by UV–visible spectrophotometer. The mean particle size of the colloidal titania sol was determined about 20 nm. The particle size of TiO2-SiO2 core-shell was about 500 nm. The deposit of titania nanoparticles on silica spheres was caused to delay anatase-rutile transformation. The core-shell particles calcined at 650 °C showed a much higher photocatalytic activity than pure titania.

Photocatalytic Coating Using Titania-Silica Core/Shell Nanoparticles

The photocatalytic coatings were prepared via incorporating the modified titania nanoparticles into epoxy-based inorganic-organic hybrid coatings. Titania nanoparticles were first synthesized from tetra-n-butyl titanate using sol-gel methods by two different calcination treatments, i.e., in mild condition (80°C) and 500°C. The formed anatase nanoparticles were further modified as Titania-Silica...

Ethylene glycol-assisted coating of titania on nanoparticles.

Coating titania shells onto sub-micron sized particles has been widely studied recently, with success mainly limited to objects with sizes above 50 nm. Direct coating on particles below this size has been difficult to attain especially with good control over properties such as thickness and crystallinity. Here we demonstrate that titanium-glycolate formed by reacting titanium alkoxide and ethyl...

Template synthesis of precisely monodisperse silica nanoparticles within self-assembled organometallic spheres.

One of the key challenges in materials science is to control the size and shape of inorganic nanoparticles with a high degree of precision, as these parameters have a significant influence on the nanoparticles' properties and potential applications. Here, we describe the preparation of highly monodisperse silica nanoparticles smaller than 5 nm in diameter by using self-assembled, hollow, spheri...
