Experimental Findings

The scope of this work shows novel experimental findings on preparing anatase TiO2 nanoparticles, first anodizing titanium into an organic media for obtaining TiO2 nanotubes, and using these as a photocatalytic active electrode in treating water polluted with organic contaminants. The substrates were grit blasted to obtain mechanical fixation of the generated nanotubular TiO2 structure. This was successfully achieved without diminishment of the nanotubes order and with a self-leveling of the outer surface. A new phenomenon has been investigated consisting of the process of oxidation of the nanotubes in water after anodizing. Along this process, methyl orange added to the aqueous solution was discolored as part of the redox reaction involved. The final state of the modified layer was composed of conglomerates of almost completely crystalline TiO2 nanoparticles, around 4 nm in size, consisting of anatase. SEM and TEM images show the transition of the amorphous nanotubes (atomic disorder/nanometric order) to crystalline disordered particles (atomic order/nanometric disorder).

Dynamics Simulations

Nanoparticles are nanometer sized metallic oxides which possess enhanced properties that are desirable to a wide range of industries. In this study, we investigate structural and surface properties of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles in vacuum and water environments using molecular dynamics simulations. The particle sizes ranged from 2 to 6 nm and simulations were performed at 300 K. Surface energy of the particles in vacuum was seen to be higher than that of the particles in water by about 100% for the smaller particles (i.e. 2 and 3nm) and about 60% for the larger particles (i.e. 4 to 6 nm). Surface energy of the particles in both environments, is seen to increase to a maximum (optimum value) as the particle size increases after which no further significant increase is observed. In vacuum, studies carried out at temperatures ranging from 300–2500 K showed a high dependence of surface energy on temperature. The estimated surface tension of water is seen to agree quite well with that of experiments.
