In the context of the diminishing fossil energy resources and global warming, much research is focused on sustainable energy sources. The research that is presented in this thesis falls in this category as it contributes to the development of a device that ...
Heterogeneous photocatalysis over TiO2 using the sunlight seems to be a promising technology for waste-water treatment and drinking water production. However, the overall efficiency of TiO2 under natural sunlight is limited to the UV-driven activity (λ < 4 ...
The work presented in this thesis was carried out in the framework of two European projects: SOLWATER, and AQUACAT. The global objective of those projects, including the present work, was to set an autonomous system for drinking water production in develop ...
Nitrogen and sulfur co-doped and N-doped TiO2 anatase TKP 102 (Tayca) were prepared by manual grinding with thiourea and urea, respectively, and annealing at 400 degrees C. Both materials showed visible-light absorption as measured by Diffuse Reflectance S ...
Titanium oxide (Ti(O)) xerogel films functionalized by protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) and ferrocene carboxylic acid (FCA) were deposited on indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes following a sol–gel synthesis. PPIX and FCA were first complexed to titanium oxide precu ...
Doping of nanocrystalline TiO2 powders with sizes ranging from 9.5 nm up to 19.1 nnn was carried out with thiourea (TU) to introduce the C, N and S-species into the TiO2. The crystal size was determined by X-ray diffraction. Doped-TiO2 particles were color ...
Parylene films loaded with TiO2 are reported as hotocatalysts in azo dye discoloration processes. The TiO2 loading of the parylene film was 0.32% (w/w) and the amount of TiO2 on the film was about two orders of magnitude below the TiO2 added in suspension ...
Photocatalytic lithography couples light with photoreactive coated mask materials to pattern surface chemistry. We excite porphyrins to create radical species that photocatalytically oxidize, and thereby pattern, chemistries in the local vicinity. The tech ...
Nanocryst. particles of ZnO and TiO2 of approx. equal size (∼15 nm) were used to prep. mesoporous electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells. Electron transport in the solar cells was studied using intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy and revealed ...
Nanostructured TiO2 films were modified by insertion with Al ions using an electrochem. process. After heat treatment these films were suitable as electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells. By a catechol adsorption test and with photoelectron spectroscopy , ...
