Semiconductor photocatalysis has been intensively studied in recent decades for a wide variety of application such as hydrogen production from water splitting and water and air treatment. The majority of photocatalysts are, however, wide band-gap semiconductors which are active only under UV irradiation. In order to effectively utilize visible solar radiation, this thesis investigates various t...

in this paper, a nanostructured modified electrode was fabricated by incorporating of 2,2′-[1,9-nonanediylbis(nitriloethylidyne)]-bis-hydroquinone (nnh) as a newly synthesized modifier and tio2 nanoparticles to the carbon paste (mtcpe) and then was used for the electroanalysis of epinephrine (ep). the electrochemical studies were carried out by using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and di...

In this work, TiO2 nanostructures were grown on titanium thin films by electrochemical anodizing method. The bipolar resistive switching effect has been observed in Pt/TiO2/Ti device. Resistive switching characteristics indicated the TiO2 nanotubes are one of the potential materials for nonvolatile memory applications.  Increasing anodizing duration will increase nanotube lengths which itself c...

The conditions for photocatalytic degradation of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) in aqueous solution with Fe-doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) were optimized. The degradation efficiencies with Fe-doped TiO2 were better, compared with those obtained with bare TiO2 and Pt-doped TiO2. The effect of various experimental factors, such as photocatalytic dosage, temperature, solution pH and light i...

One dimensional metal oxide nanostructures have attracted much attention owing to their fascinating functional properties. Among them, piezoelectricity and photocatalysts along with their related materials have stirred significant interests and widespread studies in recent years. In this work, we successfully transformed piezoelectric ZnO into photocatalytic TiO2 and formed TiO2/ZnO axial heter...

a useful nanophotocatalyst (la,s-tio2) was prepared by a sol-gel method and characterized by uv–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (drs), x-ray diffraction (xrd), photoluminescence emission spectroscopy (pl) and scanning electron microscopy (fesem). the results showed that the la,s-tio2, which calcined at 550 °c, contained only anatase phaseand its crystal size was 23 nm. in addition, the fes...

The mechanical mixtures of titanium oxide (TiO2) with carbon nanostructures for 3D printing CJP technology, which are used as consumables the manufacturing electrically conductive composite products, created in this work. Various (single- and multi-walled nanotubes nanofibers) were creation products (TiO2–СNS) by technology. Optimal conditions processing (TiO2/MWCNT) on a planetary ball mixer (...
