A photocatalytic effect arises from the electron relaxation of semiconductors. Directing toward reactions is focus studies. Co-catalyst decoration a main way to modulate relaxation, and Cu(II) nanoparticles have been widely studied as an important co-catalyst. However, detailed mechanism still not well known. The current study devoted investigating nanoparticle on relaxations for TiO2 through i...

A full solution-based method is reported to fabricate multilayer thin film stacks for structural color applications. This in contrast the conventional fabrication methods that require high vacuum processes such as physical vapor deposition and magnetron sputtering, which significantly limits their practical use due cost long processing time. Copper/silicon dioxide/copper (Cu/SiO2/Cu) copper/tit...

The photoactive features of the least common polymorph TiO2, i.e. brookite, were combined with thermocatalytic redox ones cerium oxide, focusing on effects addition small amounts Co-Cu oxides for solar CO2 conversion. By considering characterization data, a surface segregation hosted metal TiO2-CeO2 composite was evidenced, and their presence increased amount oxygen vacancies improved charge ca...

in this article, preparation of polypyrrole and its nanocomposites as adsorbents werediscussed and the capability of separation of copper ions from aqueous solution were studied.polypyrrole was prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization method of pyrrole usingfecl3 as an oxidant. the removal of cu (ii) was investigated using ppy, ppy/tio2 andppy/tio2/dhsna nanocomposites. the products were i...

Degradation performance of Cu-TiO2 photocatalytic materials against a widely used antibiotic drug levofloxacin (LFX) was investigated under visible LED light source 40 W. (0.25-1.0 wt%) nanomaterials are prepared through reverse micelle mediated modified sol-gel method. Characterization synthesized samples performed by XRD, UV-Vis, and DLS techniques. The doping 0.5 wt% copper in TiO2 shown low...
