Bacterial contamination is a critical problem in different fields (ranging from everyday life to
space missions, and from medicine to biosensing). Specifically, in the case of medical …

Titanium dioxide (TiO 2) has been proved to be a leading semiconductor material to removal
of environmental pollutants. However, it suffers from low photocatalytic efficiency under …

Photocatalytic reaction rate (R) is determined by the multiplication of light absorption
capability (α) and quantum efficiency (QE); however, these two parameters generally have …

Abstract Ag-doped TiO 2 nanomaterials (Ag–TiO 2) were prepared by a sol–gel method. The
structures of Ag–TiO 2 nanomaterials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–vis …

Photocatalytic degradation of phenol and benzoic acid in aqueous solution was studied
using zinc oxide (ZnO) powder synthesized by sol–gel process. Synthesized catalyst was …

In this research, quasi-spherical-shaped zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were
synthesized by a simple cost-competitive aqueous precipitation method. The engineered …

Ultraviolet‐C (UVC) radiation is employed in various applications, including irreplaceable
applications in military and civil fields, such as missile guidance, flame detection, partial …

Photocatalyst-coated self-cleaning ceramic tiles are in high demand for indoor and outdoor
applications aimed at keeping a clean environment. Their industrial processing, however …

ZnO nanoflakes were successfully synthesized by the sol-gel method at a precursor solution
pH of 13. The structure, morphology, and photocatalytic activity of the synthesized ZnO …

In this paper, an easy aqueous sol-gel synthesis developed previously by Mahy et al.[1] is
adapted to produce highly active TiO 2 catalysts doped with Fe 3+, Ag+, Cu 2+, Zn 2+, Cr 3+ …
