Titania Coating

Transparent titania coating was formed onto a flexible polycarbonate plastic substrate by low-temperature fabrication process below 100 °C consisting of a sol-gel technique and a hot water treatment method. The titania coating with high transparency showed a good photocatalytic activity under ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation. Palladium metal acts as a catalyst for dissociative adsorption of hydrogen gas at room temperature under an atmospheric pressure. The palladium catalyst was deposited on the photocatalytic titania coating by a photodeposition process at room temperature under UV-light irradiation. The flexible polycarbonate plastic sheet with semitransparent palladium-deposited titania coating works as an optically readable hydrogen gas sensor which can operate at room temperature.

Palladium (Pd) nanoparticles were prepared on photocatalytic TiO2-coated glass substrate by a photodeposition process and the optical hydrogen sensing properties were examined at room temperature. The TiO2 coatings were prepared on a non-alkaline glass substrate by a sol-gel process and hot water treatment. Pd nanoparticles were deposited on the TiO2 film by photodeposition using UV light. The obtained Pd/TiO2 thin film showed remarkable optical transmittance response to hydrogen gas at room temperature. The normalized transmittance of the Pd/TiO2 thin film at a wavelength of 640 nm decreased to 0.9 on exposing the film to hydrogen gas for only 5 s. This transmittance decrease is considered to be due to a gaschromic effect of the TiO2 photocatalytic coating.

Titania Coatings

Photocatalytic titania coatings loaded with palladium catalyst were prepared onto soda-lime glass substrates by using a low temperature synthesis for application of optical hydrogen gas sensor. Titania coatings were formed on the glass substrate by a sol-gel spin-coating process followed by a hot water treatment at 55°C. Metallic palladium nanoparticles were deposited onto the titania coatings, which obtained with addition of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and without PEG after the hot water treatment, by means of a photodeposition technique at room temperature using UV-light irradiation. The whole fabrication process was carried out under atmospheric pressure. The Pd-photodeposited titania coating obtained with addition of PEG after hot water treatment showed higher hydrogen sensing properties than that obtained without PEG.

2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) is a common taste and odor compound caused by off-flavor secondary metabolites, which represents one of the greatest challenges for drinking water utilities worldwide. A TiO2-coated activated carbon (TiO2/PAC) has been synthesized using the sol-gel method. A new TiO2/PAC photocatalyst has been successfully employed in photodegradation of 2-MIB under UV light irradiation. In addition, the combined results of XRD, SEM-EDX, FTIR and UV-Vis suggested that the nano-TiO2 had been successfully loaded on the surface of PAC. Experimental results of 2-MIB removal indicated that the adsorption capacities of PAC for 2-MIB were higher than that of TiO2/PAC. However, in the natural organic matter (NOM) bearing water, the removal efficiency of 2-MIB by TiO2/PAC and PAC were 97.8% and 65.4%, respectively, under UV light irradiation. Moreover, it was shown that the presence of NOMs had a distinct effect on the removal of MIB by TiO2/PAC and PAC. In addition, a simplified equivalent background compound (SEBC) model could not only be used to describe the competitive adsorption of MIB and NOM, but also represent the photocatalytic process. In comparison to other related studies, there are a few novel composite photocatalysts that could efficiently and rapidly remove MIB by the combination of adsorption and photocatalysis.

Superhydrophobic cotton fabrics are prepared using silica and titania hybrid sol and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane. The surface morphology of cotton fabrics is characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The water contact angles on the as-prepared superhydrophobic cotton fabrics is 159° when the volume ratio between sodium silicate solution and titania sol is 1:3, and the corresponding cotton fabrics can keep the contact angle of 152° after 10 cycles of home machine washing. Meanwhile the treated cotton fabrics can also keep superhydrophobicity after 60 min of UV light irradiation. These results indicate that the cotton fabrics treated with silica and titania hybrid sol and modified with hexadecyltrimethoxysilane show excellent superhydrophobic stability under washing and UV light irradiation. This paper provides the new notion and beneficial reference for the application of the superhydrophobic cotton fabrics in the future.

Sol Gel Synthesis

Ta2O5 nanoparticles have been synthesized from alkoxy carboxylates of tantalum via the sol–gel route. Tantalum alkoxides were reacted with chlorocarboxylic acids in order to lower the susceptibility hydrolysis. When these modified alkoxy carboxylates were used in the sol–gel synthesis, they yielded Ta2O5 nanoparticles of better properties than those of the alkoxide-derived Ta2O5 nanoparticles. These nanoparticles efficiently removed rhodamine B under UV light irradiation.

Magnetic heterogeneous Fe3O4/TiO2/CuO catalyst were synthesized using sol-gel method. The molar ratio of Fe3O4/TiO2/CuO were varied from 1:1:0.1 until 1:1:5. The all synthesized catalyst were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The result show that the magnetic heterogeneous Fe3O4/TiO2/CuO catalyst exhibit ferromagnetic behavior under room temperature. The catalytic performance were evaluated on the degradation of methylene blue under UV light and combination of ultrasound and UV-light Irradiation. The combination of ultrasound and UV-light irradiation exhibit batter catalytic performance than ultrasound irradiation only. The Magnetic heterogeneous Fe3O4/TiO2/CuO with molar ratio 1:1:0.1 shows highest catalytic performance. The reusability of catalyst were also observed.
