Amorphous titanium dioxide (TiO2) and gold (Au) doped TiO2-based surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors have been investigated as hydrogen gas detectors. The nanocrystal-doped TiO2 films were synthesized through a sol-gel route, mixing a Ti-butoxide-based solution with diluted colloidal gold nanoparticles. The films were deposited via spin coating onto 64◦ YX LiNbO3 SAW transducers in a helium atm...

In this study, we focused on the origin on the selective deposition of rutile and anatase TiO2 thin films during the sputtering process. The observation on microstructural evolution of the TiO2 films by transmission electron microscopy revealed the coexistence of rutile and anatase TiO2 phases in the initial stage under the preferential growth conditions for the anatase TiO2; the observations f...

Using MnSO4 ̈H2O as manganese source and urea as nitrogen source, Mn/N co-doped TiO2 loaded on wood-based activated carbon fiber (Mn/Ti-N-WACF) was prepared by sol–gel method. Mn/Ti-N-WACF with different Mn doping contents was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies (XPS), and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. Results sho...

Density functional theory calculations were carried out to study the interaction of heroin molecule with pristine and N-dopedTiO2 anatase nanoparticles. The oxygen atom of heroin molecule was found to be the binding site on the heroin molecule. In contrast, the binding site of TiO2 nanoparticle was positioned over the fivefold coordinated titanium atoms. The results showed that the adsorption e...

First-principles calculations of anatase structured TiO2 and ZrO2 as well as of TiO2-B were carried up to 20 GPa in order to develop an understanding of the unusual compression and pressure-dependent phase transitions reported for nanocrystalline (nc) pure and Zr-doped anatase and nc TiO2-B. The computations, carried out using two global hybrid density functional-Hartree-Fock formulations and a...

C-, V-doped TiO2 photocatalysts are prepared by a sol-gel process. These catalysts are highly active for the degradation of acetaldehyde both under visible irradiation (> 420 nm) and in the dark, especially for 2.0% V-containing co-doped TiO2. Characterization results suggest that vanadium ions are introduced both on the surface and into the bulk of TiO2. A free electron, induced by the formati...

In this work, 3D-structured clay filters were prepared and coated with iron-doped titanium dioxide (Fe-TiO2) using 3D printing sol–gel soaking calcination techniques. Three-dimensional was employed to mold shape the before annealing. The uncoated characterized for different properties, i.e., morphology, optical crystalline structure, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-d...
