The size characterization of particles present in the form of agglomerates in images measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) requires a powerful image segmentation tool in order to properly define the boundaries of each particle. In this work, we propose to use an algorithm from the deep statistical learning community, the Mask-RCNN, coupled with transfer learning to overcome the problem of generalization of the commonly used image processing methods such as watershed or active contour. Indeed, the adjustment of the parameters of these algorithms is almost systematically necessary and slows down the automation of the processing chain. The Mask-RCNN is adapted here to the case study and we present results obtained on titanium dioxide samples (non-spherical particles) with a level of performance evaluated by different metrics such as the DICE coefficient, which reaches an average value of 0.95 on the test images.

Titania or titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin film has been synthesized via sol-gel method with monoethanolamine (MEA) as a catalyst. The mixing of titanium butoxide as a precursor, ethanol as a solvent and MEA were stirred using magnetic stirrer under ambient temperature [. The TiO2solution prepared then was deposited on SiO2substrates using spin-coater and the coated films were annealed at 600°C. Finally, both before and after annealed TiO2thin films were characterized using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The obtained results show the different TiO2particles formation before and after annealed.

The nanotubular titanium dioxide structures were prepared using anodic oxidation. The structural features of surface have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) techniques. These nanotubular titanium dioxide structures can be used as a sensor in potentiometric indication components of different types of chemical reactions.

In order to fabricate the titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes arrays which were used in the photocatalytic degradation of total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) by anodization, the influence of the electrode gap and anode area on the morphology of the titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes was studied. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotube arrays were prepared by anodization with various electrode gaps and anode areas. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate the morphology of the TiO2nanotubes arrays. The results showed that the morphology of TiO2nanotubes arrays was influenced by electrode gap and anode area. The appropriate anode area and electrode gap were 5 cm × 2 cm and 20 mm, respectively. Thus, TiO2nanotube arrays with better morphology (with larger dimension and uniform TiO2nanotubes) were successfully fabricated by anodic oxidation with 5 cm × 2 cm anode area and 20 mm electrode gap at 30 V.

 In this work, a nanocomposite photocatalyst was fabricated by growing zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) on the sand as a substrate. The initial sand/ZnO was fabricated via sol-gel immersion method for 4 h at 95℃. Furthermore, the sand/ZnO/TiO2 was fabricatedusing hydrothermal method for 5 h at 150℃. Based on field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analysis, the fabricated sand/ZnO/TiO2 consists of random formation of hexagonal ZnO nanorods and two pyramidal spindle ends of TiO2 nanorods. The addition of TiO2 on top of ZnO nanorods increased the number of active sites which enables more contaminants to be absorbed thus enhanced the photocatalysis process. Moreover, based on the micro-Raman spectra, the synthesized TiO2 was in rutile phase and the ZnO peak was unobservable due to the overlapping with TiO2 peak. Based on its morphological and structural properties, the fabricated sand/ZnO/TiO2 nanocomposite was potential to be applied as photocatalyst.

AbstractA method for producing titanium dioxide (TiO2) containing hydroxyapatite (HA) crystallite isproposed. Solutions of CaCI2+H3PO4 and TiCL4+HCI combined with KOH are used to precipitatefirst the HA and then the TiO2.The precipitate is then sintered between 900°C and 1000°C for 18 to48 hours. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Energy DispersiveX-ray Analysis (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have been used to determine thecrystallinity, the chemical composition and structure of the samples.

ABSTRACTWater-splitting to form hydrogen was examined by using strontium titanate (SrTiO3) nanofibers as photocatalysts. SrTiO3 nanofibers were fabricated by hydrothermal treatment of amorphous titanium dioxide nanofibers, which were electrospun from the mixture of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), titanium(IV) butoxide, and acetylacetone. The hydrothermal treatment involved the reaction of amorphous TiO2 nanofiber template with strontium hydroxide octahydrate (Sr(OH)2·8H2O) for 20 hours at 120 ºC. The product was calcined to form crystalline SrTiO3 nanofibers, which were characterized via Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)/Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and tested their photocatalytic activities for the water splitting. The hydrogen production with the fabricated SrTiO3 nanofibers was found to be 6.1 μmol·h-1·g-1 catalyst, which is twice that of commercially available SrTiO3 nanoparticles (3.0 μmol·h-1·g-1 catalyst).
