This work focuses on preparing TiO2, CdS, and composite TiO2: CdS thin films for
photovoltaic applications by thermal evaporation. The suggested materials exhibit very good …

Abstract The composites xTiO< sub> 2</sub>-(1− x) SiO< sub> 2</sub>(x= 0.1, 0.5, 0.9)
were obtained by coprecipitation from solutions of alkoxides: tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and …

Fiber optic pH sensors using either silica (SiO 2) or gold nanoparticle incorporated silica (Au-
SiO 2) as the sensitive layers for pH monitoring are presented. A facile sol-gel dip-coating …

In this work, we have succeeded in preparing rutile and anatase TiO2 mesoporous single
crystals with diverse morphologies in a controllable fashion by a simple silica-templated …

Disinfection by ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a growing trend in public water treatment systems
because of its effectiveness with respect to inactivation of protozoa and other pathogenic …

Stable, neutral TiO2 hydrosols were prepared using TiCl4 as titanium source, HNO3 as
peptizing agent, and SiO2 as stabilizer. Based on XRD, TEM, and FTIR measurements, the …

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films were prepared by Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD)
method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to examine the structure and to …

Hydrogen is a renewable and non-polluting fuel. Its production from water using renewable
energy is an attractive challenge. In this work we report some results on the preparation of …

In developing quicker, smaller, and more efficient optoelectronic devices, composite thin
films are becoming progressively crucial. One reason for using composite thin films is to …

In order to extend the photocatalytic performance of TiO2, two new photocatalysts of Er3+:
YAlO3/Fe-and Co-doped TiO2 coated composites were prepared by the sol–gel process …
