The present study explores the solar-induced photocatalytic degradation of reactive red (RR) and turquoise (RT) dyes in a single system using TiO2 immobilized xanthan gum (TiO2/XG), synthesized sol–gel dip-coating technique for direct precipitation. SEM-EDX, XRD, FTIR, UV–Vis were used to assess characteristics resulting catalyst. Moreover, effects different operating parameters, specifically p...

Titania (anatase) and Ag-doped titania (anatase) coatings were prepared on glass microscope slides by a sol–gel dip-coating method. The resultant coatings were characterised by X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES), Raman, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), wavelength dispersive X-ray (WDX) analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-vis techniques and sho...

in the past decades, many methods have been developed to synthesize zero- dimensional  nanoparticles, quasi–one–dimensional (1d) cuo nanostructures, such as metal organic deposition technique,  microwave irradiation, sol-gel-like dip  technique, reverse micelle-assisted route, chemical method, and simple template free solution route. among those synthesis methods, hydrothermal and chemical reac...

in this work, an optical sensor for detection of ascorbic acid is described. the sensor is fabricated by casting and spin-coating silica sol-gel doped with 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol on the glass plates. the sols are in turn obtained by acidic hydrolysis of various precursors such as tetraethoxysilane, triethoxymethylsilane and triethoxyoctylsilane in the presence of 2,6-dichlorophenol indop...

The sol-gel process is a wet-chemical technique (chemical solution deposition), which has been widely used in the fields of materials science, ceramic engineering, and especially in the preparation of photocatalysts. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are prevalent components of indoor air pollution. Among the approaches to remove VOCs from indoor air, photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) is regarded ...

A new hydrophobic hexyltrimethoxysilane (HTMS) coating for polyester fabric was successfully synthesized via a one-step water-based sol-gel method under acidic condition. Five different molar ratios of HTMS: water (1;40, 1:30, 1:20, 1:12 and 1:3) were prepared the solution deposited onto by simple dip-pad-cure process. The effect content on hydrophobicity evaluated manual testing treated sample...
