During the process and operation of the dyes, the wastes produced were commonly found to
contain organic and inorganic impurities leading to risks in the ecosystem and biodiversity …

A self-cleaning nanostructured TiO 2 coating has demonstrated the capacity to mitigate
undesired effects from air pollution. Not only it reduces the deterioration of building materials …

Numerous superhydrophobic materials have been developed in recent years by using a
combination of two strategies: reducing the surface free energy and roughening the surface …

TiO 2–SiO 2 hollow nanospheres with remarkable enhanced photocatalytic performance
have been fabricated by sol–gel method. The hollow sphere possesses both high …

Nowadays, the enhancement of atmospheric pollution is dramatically increasing the
presence of soiling on buildings in every city of the world. Thus, the development of …

Au/N-TiO 2 photocatalysts with enhanced photoactivity thanks to nitrogen doping and gold
nanoparticles (AuNPs) controlled deposition onto titania have been obtained by means of a …

Titanium dioxide (TiO 2) colloidal suspensions applied by spray-coating have been used to
deposit transparent self-cleaning coatings on stones with the aim of preserving the original …

The decay of building materials is generally caused by the combination of chemical,
physical and biological agents. Therefore, the development of products that combine …

In this work, highly ordered TiO2/Ag bilayer structures on p-type silicon (Si) wafers are
prepared by photolithography and electrochemical self-assembly methods. The interfacial …

Introduction of broadband antireflection coatings (ARCs) is a promising method to enhance
efficiency of solar cells. In this paper, the TiO 2–SiO 2 stack coatings with refractive-index …
