A high-throughput screening (HTS) method based on fluorescence imaging (FI) was implemented to evaluate the catalytic performance of selenide-modified nano-TiO2. Chemical ink-jet printing (IJP) technology was reformed to fabricate a catalyst library comprising 1405 (Ni(a)Cu(b)Cd(c)Ce(d)In(e)Y(f))Se(x)/TiO2 (M6Se/Ti) composite photocatalysts. Nineteen M6Se/Tis were screened out from the 1405 can...

This study deals with photocatalytic application for indoor air pollution remediation. Two target compounds were selected: Butane-2,3-dione (C4H6O2) and Heptan-2-one (C7H14O). Escherichia coli (E. coli) used as bacteria strain. Photocatalytic removal of VOCs alone, E. alone their mixture (VOCs/E. evaluated, at pilot scale. Indeed, a series experiments carried out in continuous planar reactor us...

Mesoporous nanosized titania films modified with Co2+, Ni2+, Mn3+, and Cu2+ ions have been produced by templated sol-gel method and characterized by optical spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) surface area measurement. Band gap energy and the position of flat band potentials were estimated by photoelectrochemical measurements. The films doped with trans...

The semi-hydrogenation reaction of alkynes is important in the fine chemicals and pharmaceutical industries, it thus to find catalytic processes that will drive efficiently at a low cost. real challenge alkyne-to-alkene while avoiding over-hydrogenation saturated alkane moiety. problem more difficult when dealing with aromatic substitution alkyne center. Simple photocatalysts based on Palladium...

Synthesis and characterization of long wavelength visible-light absorption Cu-doped TiO2 nanomaterials with well-controlled properties such as size, composition, morphology, and crystal phase have been demonstrated in a single-step flame aerosol reactor. This has been feasible by a detailed understanding of the formation and growth of nanoparticles in the high-temperature flame region. The impo...

The highly toxic Cr(VI) is a critical component in the Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) formulations extensively employed as wood preservatives. Remediation of CCA mixed waste and discarded treated wood products is a significant challenge. We demonstrate that UV/TiO2 photocatalysis effectively reduces Cr(VI) to less toxic Cr(III) in the presence of arsenate, As(V), and copper, Cu(II). The rapid ...

Carbon/molecule/TiO2/Au molecular electronic junctions show robust conductance switching, in which a metastable high conductance state may be induced by a voltage pulse which results in redox reactions in the molecular and TiO2 layers. When Ag is substituted for Au as the "top contact", dramatically different current/voltage curves and switching behavior result. When the carbon substrate is bia...
