Photocatalytic activity of TiO2/SiO2 systems
2009
Silica-supported TiO(2) powders were synthesized by a wet method under mild conditions. The aim of the work was the preparation of TiO(2)/SiO(2) additives for photocatalytic cements. Three types of commercial SiO(2) were used as supports: Cabot, Axim and Fly Ash. Cabot silica was ultra-pure whereas the other two silica contained different percentages of various oxides. The TiO(2)/SiO(2) samples, denoted TiO(2)/Cabot, TiO(2)/Axim and TiO(2)/Fly Ash, were prepared by boiling suspensions obtained by addition of silica to a solution of TiCl(4) in water (volume ratio 1:10). The photocatalytic activity was evaluated in a gas-solid system both in batch and in continuous reactors using 2-propanol a…
Photochemical and photocatalytic isomerization of trans -caffeic acid and cyclization of cis -caffeic acid to esculetin
2016
Abstract The photoisomerization of trans-caffeic acid to cis-caffeic acid has been studied in the presence of N2 in homogeneous aqueous solutions and in suspensions of various TiO2 catalysts. The results supported the hypothesis of an energy transfer process from TiO2 to the substrate due to the recombination of the photogenerated electron–hole pairs. The differences among the measured photostationary [cis]/[trans] ratios have been attributed to the different physico-chemical properties of the catalysts. In particular, the lowest ratio measured in the presence of Merck TiO2 was ascribed to the very low adsorption of trans-caffeic acid onto the surface of this sample. In the presence of O2 a…
Ar elektroforētiskās izgulsnēšanas metodi iegūts pārejas metālu un reducēta grafēna oksīda anodmateriāls litija jonu baterijām
2022
Litija jonu baterijas (LJB) ir viena no svarīgākajiem enerģijas uzglabāšanas ierīcēm, kuras priekšrocības ir augsts enerģijas blīvums, augsts uzlādes/izlādes ciklu skaits un laba īpatnējā jauda. Tomēr pastāvīgi nepieciešams uzlabot LJB elektrodu enerģijas blīvumu. Šajā darbā tiek pētīts elektroforētiski izgulsnēts Fe2O3/TiO2/rGO kompozīts ka anods LJB. Fe2O3 ir liela lādiņietilpība (1007 mAh/g), TiO2 dod struktūras stabilitāti un rGO piemīt augsta lādiņietilpība un liela elektrovadītspēja. Darbā tiek pētītas Fe2O3/TiO2/rGO kompozīta struktūra un elektroķīmiskas īpašības kā funkcija no elektroforēzē izmantotās suspensijas sastāva. Noteikts optimālais suspensijas masas attiecības sastāvs Fe2O…

Blue light activated photodegradation of biomacromolecules by N-doped titanium dioxide in a chitosan hydrogel matrix
2023
The use of photocatalysis activated by titanium dioxide nanostructured materials is a promising solution for many biomedical applications ranging from drug-free antibacterial to anticancer therapies, as well as for innovative hydrogel-supported phototherapies. This makes the effects of photocatalysis on the structure of biomolecules of a great relevance in order to define the applicability of photocatalytic materials in the biomedical fields. In this work, the effects of nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide (N-TiO2) dispersed in a biocompatible chitosan/PEG hydrogel on myoglobin and bovine serum albumin as target model proteins were investigated. The efficiency of this composite biocompatible ma…
A PERVAPORATION PHOTOCATALYTIC REACTOR FOR THE GREEN SYNTHESIS OF VANILLIN
2012
Abstract Pervaporation is the ideal membrane separation process to be coupled with photocatalysis for the green synthesis of vanillin from ferulic acid. In fact the operative conditions of the two processes are absolutely congruent and the integration is straightforward even operating with separate equipments. The utilization of a highly selective membrane allows the continuous recovery of vanillin by pervaporation from the reacting solution, so that its oxidative degradation is largely avoided and the yield is substantially enhanced. The effects of the main parameters are analyzed resorting to a mathematical model, which is validated by a comparison with the experimental data. In particula…
Photocatalytic glucose conversion to produce hydrogen in the presence of TiO2 based materials.
2015
In the present research commercial anatase (BDH) and anatase/rutile (P25) and home prepared anatase (HPA), rutile (HPR) and brookite (HPB) TiO2 polymorphs and have been used as supports for the deposition of metallic Pt. The Pt-TiO2 samples have been tested in the glucose conversion under anaerobic conditions. The presence of Pt resulted essential for the production of H2 and the home prepared samples resulted more active than the commercial ones.
