A series of multifunctional silver-doped titanium dioxide (Ag/TiO2) nanocomposites with various silver contents were synthesized by the peroxo sol–gel method using TiCl4 as a precursor and H2O2 as a peptizing agent. The sol was used to coat a glass substrate, thereby forming a thin film. The antiviral and antibacterial activities of the Ag/TiO2 films and their use in the photocatalytic degradation of an aqueous solution of methylene blue were investigated. The as-prepared materials were characterized using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The antiviral and antibacterial activities of the samples were tested against Escherichia coli, the influenza A virus (H1N1), and enterovirus. It was observed that an optimum Ag:TiO2 weight ratio of 1:100 enabled the highest activity in the photocatalytic degradation of an aqueous solution of methylene blue under irradiation with either ultraviolet or visible light. Moreover, the same composition remarkably exhibited extremely high antibacterial and virucidal effectivenesses greater than 99.99% against E. coli and infectious viruses after illumination with ultraviolet A. The presence of silver on TiO2 significantly enhanced its photocatalytic activity. Thus, the excellent photocatalytic activities and reusability of the Ag/TiO2 nanocomposite render it applicable as a coating material for several purposes.

Pure TiO2, Sm3+and Gd3+co-doping TiO2have been prepared by sol-gel method and characterized by the techniques such as XRD and SEM. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution was used as a probe reaction to evaluate Pure TiO2, Sm3+and Gd3+co-doping TiO2photocatalytic activity. The matrix distortion of TiO2increases after co-doping of Sm3+and Gd3+are clearly observed. The results show that co-doping of Sm3+and Gd3+inhibits the phase transformation of TiO2from anatase to rutile, decreases the diameter of TiO2nano-particles and significantly enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. When the co-doped amounts for Sm3+and Gd3+are 0.1% and 0.2%, its degradation rate reaches 99%.

The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution was used as a probe reaction to evaluate their photocatalytic activity. The matrix distortion of TiO2increases after Sn4+doping and a blue-shift of the absorption profile are clearly observed. The results show that doped Sn4+inhibits the phase transformation of TiO2from anatase to rutile, decreases the diameter of TiO2and significantly enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. The Sn4+-doped into TiO2exert a synergistic effect on their photocatalytic activity.

The aim of this work was to synthesize semiconducting oxide nanoparticles using a simple method with low production cost to be applied in natural sunlight for photocatalytic degradation of pollutants in waste water. Iron titanate (Fe 2 TiO 5 ) nanoparticles with an orthorhombic structure were successfully synthesized using a modified sol–gel method and calcination at 750°C. The as-prepared Fe 2 TiO 5 nanoparticles exhibited a moderate specific surface area. The mesoporous Fe 2 TiO 5 nanoparticles possessed strong absorption in the visible-light region and the band gap was estimated to be around 2.16 eV. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue under natural sunlight. The effect of parameters such as the amount of catalyst, initial concentration of the dye and pH of the dye solution on the removal efficiency of methylene blue was investigated. Fe 2 TiO 5 showed high degradation efficiency in a strong alkaline medium that can be the result of the facilitated formation of OH radicals due to an increased concentration of hydroxyl ions.
