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%.

To investigate the photocatalytic degradation of MG by PW12-TiO2/SiO2, in this study PW12-TiO2/SiO2 composite oxides were prepared by sol-gel and hydrothermal strategy. The prepared photocatalysits were characterized by XRD, BET,TEM and EDS techniques and the configuration charateristics of PW12-TiO2/SiO2 nanoparticles were systematically investigated. Photocatalytic activity was checked by the photocatalytic oxidation of MG dye in aqueous solution. The results showed that the phosphotungstic acid still has the Keggin structure. The anatase phase of titanium oxid is identified by XRD. The result of the present work implied that compared with pure TiO2, the PW12-TiO2/SiO2 composite oxides have stronger catalytic activity, good particles dispersion and bigger specific surface area. The optimal concentration of MG was 20mg.L-1, the best dosage of PW12-TiO2/SiO2 was 1g.L-1. Moreover, after three times of recycling, the catalyst still has high catalytic activity.

Toluene Removal

Biodegradable of polylactic acid (PLA), polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) and polybutylene succinate (PBS), which were biodegradable aliphatic polyesters, composite films were contained with titanium dioxide (TiO2) as a photocatalyst to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of bidegradable composite films for toluene removal. The synthesized TiO2 was prepared by sol-gel method between titanium isopropoxide with acetic acid. To form the anatase structure, it was calcined at 500°C. TiO2 were added to PLA/PBAT/PBS as a biopolymer blend at 0, 5 and 10 wt% .The TiO2/Bio-composite films were fabricated via blown film technique to produce 40 μm films. Photocatalytic activity efficiency of TiO2/Bio-composite films was performed in an annular closed system under UV light. Since the amount of TiO2 affected the efficiency of the photocatalytic activity, this work was mainly concentrated on the effort to embed the high amount of TiO2 in the biopolymer matrix. The developed photocatalyst was characterized by XRD, UV-Vis spectrophotometer and SEM. The SEM images revealed the high homogeneity of the deposition of TiO2 on the biopolymer matrix. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) ensures the deposition of TiO2 as crystalline anatase phase. In addition, the photocatalytic results shown that the toluene removal efficiencies increased with an increasing TiO2 dosages at 0 wt%, 5 wt%, and 10 wt% , respectively. As aspects, the photocatalytic degradation results showed the highest tolune photocatalytic degradation efficiency of 52.0% at 10 wt% TiO2 .
