It has been more than 40 years since Fujishima and Honda demonstrated water splitting using TiO2, yet there is still no clear mechanism by which surface holes on TiO2 oxidize water. In this paper, we use a range of complementary techniques to study this re ...
To meet the future global energy demand - an estimated additional 10 terawatts (TWs) per year in 2050 - a diversification of energy sources and fuels is needed. Solar energy represents a prominent alternative energy source. An important material for these ...
Understanding the interaction between water and oxides is critical for many technological applications, including energy storage, surface wetting/self-cleaning, photocatalysis and sensors. Here, we report observations of strong structural oscillations of B ...
The interaction of water with TiO2 is crucial to many of its practical applications, including photocatalytic water splitting. Following the first demonstration of this phenomenon 40 years ago there have been numerous studies of the rutile single-crystal T ...
This study addresses the bacterial inactivation mechanism by photo-Fenton process at near-neutral pH, focusing on iron-oxides and iron-citrate as photocatalysts for solar water disinfection and using E. coli as a bacteria model. Cell envelope damage during ...
In this study Bacillus sp. MTCC5877 was explored for the production of biosurfactant (BSs) and various carbon sources 1% (w/v), 0.5% (w/v) nitrogen sources were tested at different pH, and temperature. Yield was measured in terms of Emulsification index (E ...
Atomic level understanding of water on titanium dioxide (TiO2), in particular the mineral form anatase, is exceptionally important, considering its practical applications including photocatalytic water-splitting, photoinduced hydrophilicity , and water pur ...
Batch solar water disinfection (SODIS) is a known, simple and low-cost water treatment technology. SODIS is based on the synergistic action of temperature increase and light-assisted generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) on bacteria. ROS are generate ...
