This research has successfully deposited ZnO: Ag on aluminum foil substrates with variations in deposition temperature. The purpose of this study was to obtain the surface morphology of ZnO:Ag on aluminum foil substrates with variations in deposition temperature and obtain optimization of the photocatalytic activity of ZnO: Ag in degrading Methylene Blue dyes. ZnO:Ag deposition on the aluminum foil substrate was carried out by the sol-gel method and spray coating deposition technique. Surface morphology characterization and photocatalytic activity with SEM and with UV-Vis. The surface morphology results obtained from ZnO:Ag on aluminum foil substrate with deposition temperatures of 250 ℃, 300 ℃, 350 ℃, and 400 ℃ are the forms of ganglia with indications as ZnO and Ag grains attached to ZnO. Obtained surface area and roughness level ZnO:Ag decreases with an increase in temperature from 250 ℃ - 300 ℃, and surface area and roughness increases at 350 ℃ -400 ℃. The highest level of roughness is found in the ZnO layer: Ag temperature 400 ℃. The most optimum photocatalytic activity is indicated by the largest percentage of degradation. The highest percentage of degradation is shown by the ZnO: Ag layer with a temperature of 350 ℃ of 87.33%. This is due to the modification of silver at low temperatures which is <400 ℃ effective for photocatalytic activity.

TiO2thin film enhanced by diethanolamine (DEA) and MCM-41 (D-TiO2/MCM-41) was successfully synthesized by sol-gel dip coating technique on glass slides. The roles of DEA and MCM-41 on physical and photocatalytic characteristics of the films were studied using various techniques such as x-ray defraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultra violet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrometry, Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) surface area analysis and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The XRD results showed that the thin film contained almost 100% anatase phase and the crystal size of TiO2was in the range of 4-8 nm. The FTIR spectra indicated the formation of Ti-O-Si and Si-O-Si linkages due to interaction of TiO2and MCM-41. The surface area of TiO2was increased significantly when MCM-41 was added. The use DEA and MCM-41 caused slight increase in visible light absorption but UV absorption was decreased. The photocatalytic reactivity of the thin film was tested by photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under visible light. The addition of DEA as a nitrogen source was beneficial not only for obtaining stable/smooth surface of the thin film but also for enhancing photocatalysis of methylene blue by preventing charge carrier recombination. While MCM-41 played important functions in improving porosity and hydrophilicity of the film. The photodegradation of methylene blue was obtained up to 35% of its original concentration when 1M DEA and 0.3M MCM-41 were incorporated in TiO2thin film. The overall enhancement of photocatalytic activity of the film was a result of nitrogen doping, increased surface area as well as increased hydrophilicity provided by MCM-41.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been extensively studied as photo-catalyst for water treatment, air purification and antibacterial applications due to its challenging properties such as chemical stability, environmental friendly and strong photocatalytic activity. However, the limitation of TiO2 on its dependent to ultraviolet radiation for photocatalytic activity is still aroused. In this study, silver doped titanium dioxide (Ag-TiO2) was synthesized by wet-ball milling sol–gel method (WBMS). Ag-TiO2 molar ratio was varied from 0% to 10% to study the effect of silver content on the synthesized Ag-TiO2 characteristics and the ability to apply on antibacterial applications. The objective of this work was to find an optimal concentration of Ag in Ag-TiO2. Characterization of the particle size, morphology, and surface area of synthesized Ag-TiO2 were discussed by techniques of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). Photocatalytic activity was investigated from degradation of methylene blue. Antibacterial activity was conducted by finding minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) tests performed on Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) under dark condition and under visible light. The results demonstrated that the doping of Ag inhibited crystal growth of Ag-TiO2. The smallest particle size and the highest surface area were obtained from 5% Ag-TiO2. Also, it was found that methylene blue degradation rate increased to the highest number of 1.62x10−3 min−1 when Ag concentration reached 5%, and methylene blue degradation rate reduced when Ag concentration was higher than 5%. The antibacterial activity of Ag-TiO2 was better than TiO2. The optimal concentration of 3-5% Ag-TiO2 was observed from the MIC and MBC tests.

Nickel oxide (NiO) thin films were successfully deposited by sol-gel dip-coating method on glass substrates. The structural, morphological and optical properties in addition to the photocatalytic activity of the prepared films were investigated. The results show that the films have a polycrystalline NiO cubic structure with dense NiO grains and average optical transmittance in the visible region. The photocatalytic properties of the films were studied through the degradation of methylene blue and 89% of degradation was achieved for 4.5h of solar light irradiation exposure which indicates the capability of NiO photocatalytic activity.

Abrasive Properties

In this study, we have characterized the effects of abrasive properties, primarily particle size, on the Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) of oxide films. Sol-gel silica particles with very narrow size distributions were used for preparing the polishing slurries. The results indicate that as particle size increases, there is a transition in the mechanism of material removal from a surface area based mechanism to an indentation-based mechanism. In addition, the surface morphology of the polished samples was characterized, with the results showing that particles larger than 0.5 μm are detrimental to the quality of the SiO2 surface.

This work described a new sustainable method for the fabrication of ceramic membranes with high photocatalytic activity, through a simple sol-gel route. The photocatalytic surfaces, prepared at low temperature and under solvent-free conditions, exhibited a narrow pore size distribution and homogeneity without cracks. These surfaces have shown a highly efficient and reproducible behavior for the degradation of methylene blue. Given their characterization results, the microfiltration photocatalytic membranes produced in this study using solvent-free conditions are expected to effectively retain microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi that could then be inactivated by photocatalysis.

Iron-doped TiO2 photocatalyst powders were prepared by the sol–gel method and characterized by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET)-specific surface area, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Ultraviolet–Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. Fe3+ doping in the TiO2 decreases the crystal grain size, increases the specific surface areas of powders, extends the absorption to visible light regions (400~500 nm), and lowers the photocatalytic activity for methylene blue (MB) degradation under UV irradiation. The photocatalytic degradation of MB in water was investigated as a function of the Fe3+ content in TiO2. It was found that under the irradiation of visible light, a small amount of Fe3+ dopant in TiO22 powders could obviously enhance the photocatalytic activity. When the Fe3+ content was in the range of 0.03–0.1 mol%, the photocatalytic activity of the samples was higher than that of undoped TiO2. Appropriate content of Fe-doping is an effective means to improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 for MB degradation under visible light irradiation.

AbstractMesoporous spinel Co3O4 nanosheets were synthesised via a simple sol-gel route using the Pluronic P123 triblock copolymer as the stabilising agent. Their structural, morphological, and textural properties were characterised. FTIR spectrum revealed the formation of cobalt oxide without any surface adsorbed impurities. Face centered cubic phase of spinel Co3O4 with the mean crystalline size of 26 nm was assigned by the X-ray diffraction analysis without the formation of other phases. Porous nanosheets and cave-like morphologies were identified from the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. Highly agglomerated more or less spherical particles with well separated lattice fringes, representing the oriented growth of nanocrystals, were noticed on the transmission electron microscopy photographs. Surface area analysis revealed that the spinel has high surface area of about 25 m2 g−1 with monomodal mesoporosity. The average pore size distribution was found to be about 15.8 nm. The as-prepared spinel photocatalyst showed a mild photocatalytic activity in the degradation of methylene blue (2.5 mg L−1) under UV light irradiation with air as the oxidising agent. Photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared reusable Co3O4 was found to be higher than that of the commercial spinel powder.

The influence of glycine, glycerine, ethylene glycol and citric acid fuel and their ratio to NO3- on formation and dispersity of Bi2WO6 nanoparticles prepared by combustion synthesis has been studied. The pure crystalline Bi2WO6 with specific surface area 24,8 m2/g and crystallite size of 28 nm was obtained by using glycerine as fuel at its ratio to NO3- of 0,67. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared Bi2WO6 in degradation of methylene blue depended on its specific surface area of samples and solution pH.
