NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:1928. [PMID: 37446444 DOI: 10.3390/nano13131928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
For this study, the synthesis of TiO2 nanomaterials was performed via a novel sol-gel method employing titanium butoxide as a metal precursor, Pluronic F127 as a templating agent, toluene as a swelling agent, and acidic water or ethanol as the reaction solvents. The method was designed by tailoring certain reaction parameters, such as the sequence of toluene addition, magnetic stirring, the type of reaction solvent, and the calcination conditions. Analysis of the specific surface area and porosity was carried out via N2 physisorption, whereas the morphological features of the solids were investigated via transmission electron microscopy. The crystalline structure of both the dried powders and the calcined materials was evaluated using X-ray diffraction analysis. It transpired that the different phase compositions of the solids are related to the specific synthesis medium employed. Under the adopted reaction conditions, ethanol, which was used as a reaction solvent, promoted the local arrangement of dispersed anatase particles, the specific arrangement of which does not lead to rutile transformation. Conversely, the use of water alone supported high-particle packing, evolving into a rutile phase. The photodegradation of Rhodamine B was used as a target reaction for testing the photocatalytic activity of the selected samples.

Abstract
Surfactant-assisted synthesis is a promising technique for the tailor-made design of highly porous metal oxide based nanomaterials. There has been a demand for the comprehensive design of their morphology, porous structure and crystallinity to extend potential applications using metal oxide based materials such as titania (TiO2). However, the porous structure is often deformed and/or destroyed during the process of crystallizing metal oxide frameworks. Herein, the aerosol-assisted synthesis of mesoporous TiO2 powders was conducted in the presence of high-molecular-weight poly(styrene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO), which improved the stability of the derivative mesoporous structure with an increase in the thickness of the TiO2 frameworks. To propose a rational synthetic route for stable and porous metal oxides, the resultant mesoporous structure and the textural morphology of the mesoporous TiO2 powders were surveyed using PS-b-PEO with different lengths of PS and PEO chains. By a judicious choice of the molecular structure of PS-b-PEO, the morphological design of the fully crystallized anatase phase of TiO2 from spherical to fibrous ones was achieved with control over the mesopore diameter.

Abstract
Two novel chitosan derivatives were prepared by incorporating salicylhydrazide into chitosan Schiff base (SCsSB) and chitosan (SCs). Two nanocomposites, SCs/TiO2-1% and SCs/TiO2-3%, were also prepared. Their structures were confirmed using elemental analyses, FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDX and TEM. Their antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activities were arranged as: SCs/TiO2-3% > SCs/TiO2-1% > SCs > SCsSB > chitosan. SCs showed minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 1.95 μg/mL against A. niger which was comparable with that of Amphotericin B. SCs/TiO2-3% showed higher inhibition against S. epidermidis, S. aureus, S. pyogenes, P. aeruginosa and E. coli than Vancomycin. While, it showed comparable inhibition activity to that of Vancomycin against B. subtilis and P. mirabilis. SCs/TiO2-3% showed MIC values equal 0.48 and 0.98 μg/mL corresponded to 0.98 and 1.95 μg/mL of Amphotericin B against C. albicans, A. fumigatus and A. niger, respectively. SCs/TiO2-3% showed much lower minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) values, ranged between 1.95 and 7.81 μg/mL, than those of SCs, ranged from 62.5 to 125 μg/mL. SCs/TiO2-3% was safe on normal human cells. The modifiers and TiO2 nanoparticles incorporated into chitosan in one structure developed its performance. It is approach for attaining appropriate structures which are good competitors for antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
A palladium (Pd) doped mesoporous titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalyst was used to produce hydrogen (H2) via water splitting under both near-UV and visible light. Experiments were carried out in the Photo-CREC Water-II Reactor (PCW-II) using a 0.25 wt% Pd-TiO2 photocatalyst, initial pH = 4 and 2.0 v/v% ethanol, as an organic scavenger. After 6 h of near-UV irradiation, this photocatalyst yielded 113 cm3 STP of hydrogen (H2). Furthermore, after 1 h of near-UV photoreduction followed by 5 h of visible light, the 0.25 wt% Pd-TiO2 photocatalyst yielded 5.25 cm3 STP of H2. The same photocatalyst, photoreduced for 24 h under near-UV and subsequently exposed to 5 h of visible light, yielded 29 cm3 STP of H2. It was observed that the promoted redox reactions led to the production of hydrogen and by-products such as methane, ethane, ethylene, acetaldehyde, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide. These redox reactions could be modeled using an “in series-parallel” reaction network and Langmuir Hinshelwood based kinetics. The proposed rate equations were validated using statistical analysis for the experimental data and calculated kinetic parameters. Furthermore, Quantum yields (QYH•%) based on the H• produced were also established at promising levels: (a) 34.8% under near-UV light and 1.00 g L−1 photocatalyst concentration; (b) 8.8% under visible light and 0.15 g L−1. photocatalyst concentration following 24 h of near-UV.

Abstract
Herein, we successfully developed an easy access to bicycloacenaphtho[1,2-d]imidazole-8-thione by one-pot three-component MCRs of acenaphthoquinone, aryl or alkyl isothiocyanates and amines using environmentally benevolent and recyclable spinel NiFe2O4 nanocatalyst in aqueous ethanol. A broad number of products have been synthesized with both EDGs and EWGs present in the ring which increases the diversity of the protocol. The NiFe2O4 nanopowder has been synthesized and thoroughly characterized by powdered XRD, HRTEM, EDX, BET and ICP-AES analysis. The protocol to this bicyclic-heterocycle is noteworthy due to good to excellent yields, practical simplicity and high regioselectivity without any troublesome or hazardous by-products and its easy recovery and reusability of the catalyst. Spinel NiFe2O4 NPs-catalysed synthesis of various bicycloacenaphtho[1,2-d]imidazole-8-thione scaffolds under mild and sustainable conditions.

Abstract
Photoreduction with visible light can enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 for the production of hydrogen. In this article, we present a strategy to photoreduce a palladium-doped TiO2 photocatalyst by using near-UV light prior to its utilization. A sol-gel methodology was employed to prepare the photocatalysts with different metal loadings (0.25–5.00 wt% Pd). The structural and morphological characteristics of the synthesized Pd-TiO2 were analyzed by using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), BET Surface Area (SBET), TemperatureProgrammed Reduction (TPR), Chemisorption and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Hydrogen was produced by water splitting under visible light irradiation using ethanol as an organic scavenger. Experiments were developed in the Photo-CREC Water-II (PCW-II) Reactor designed at the CREC-UWO (Chemical Reactor Engineering Centre). It was shown that the mesoporous 0.25 wt% Pd-TiO2 with 2.5 1eV band gap exhibits, under visible light, the best hydrogen production performance, with a 1.58% Quantum Yield being achieved.

Abstract
Limited printing resolution has always been a major hindrance for printed electronics; irrespective of the high mobility demonstrated by solution-processed semiconductors, long-channel printed field-effect transistors (FETs) have demonstrated low On-state conductance and switching speeds. Although various concepts have been proposed to obtain narrow-channel printed FETs, the actual demonstration of high On-currents/channel conductance has been rare. In this context, herein, we report a general recipe to print co-continuous mesoporous structures with high surface-to-volume ratios for the first time for a large range of metallic and semiconducting oxides, both n- and p-type; next, by exploiting an innovative transistor architecture by printing an additional silver layer on top of the printed porous channel, we reduced the necessary length of electronic transport through the semiconductor material to a short vertical distance of the order of a few tens of nanometres. Basically, when a composite solid polymer electrolyte was used as a gate insulator, we essentially obtained channel length-independent transport with the unprecedented On-current of 67 μA μm-1 and transconductance of 143 μS μm-1 at the supply voltage of only 0.5 V. Among others, one may foresee the usage of these devices in high power switches and for drawing power from batteries in all-printed electronic circuits.

Abstract
The application of appropriate analytical techniques is essential for nanomaterial (NM) characterization. In this study, we compared different analytical techniques for NM analysis. Regarding possible adverse health effects, ionic and particulate NM effects have to be taken into account. As NMs behave quite differently in physiological media, special attention was paid to techniques which are able to determine the biosolubility and complexation behavior of NMs. Representative NMs of similar size were selected: aluminum (Al0) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3), to compare the behavior of metal and metal oxides. In addition, titanium dioxide (TiO2) was investigated. Characterization techniques such as dynamic light scattering (DLS) and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) were evaluated with respect to their suitability for fast characterization of nanoparticle dispersions regarding a particle's hydrodynamic diameter and size distribution. By application of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in the single particle mode (SP-ICP-MS), individual nanoparticles were quantified and characterized regarding their size. SP-ICP-MS measurements were correlated with the information gained using other characterization techniques, i.e. transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The particle surface as an important descriptor of NMs was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). NM impurities and their co-localization with biomolecules were determined by ion beam microscopy (IBM) and confocal Raman microscopy (CRM). We conclude advantages and disadvantages of the different techniques applied and suggest options for their complementation. Thus, this paper may serve as a practical guide to particle characterization techniques.

Abstract
The purification of industrial wastewater from dyes is becoming increasingly important since they are toxic or carcinogenic to human beings. Nanomaterials have been receiving significant attention due to their unique physical and chemical properties compared with their larger-size counterparts. The aim of the present investigation was to fabricate magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) using a coprecipitation method, followed by coating with silver (Ag) in order to enhance the photocatalytic activity of the MNPs by loading metal onto them. The fabricated magnetic nanoparticles coated with Ag were characterised using different instruments such as a scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDAX) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The average size of the magnetic nanoparticles had a mean diameter of about 48 nm, and the average particle size changed to 55 nm after doping. The fabricated Ag-doped magnetic nanoparticles were used for the degradation of eosin Y under UV-lamp irradiation. The experimental results revealed that the use of fabricated magnetic nanoparticles coated with Ag can be considered as reliable methods for the removal of eosin Y since the slope of evaluation of pseudo-first-order rate constant from the slope of the plot between ln(Co/C) and the irradiation time was found to be linear. Ag-Fe3O4 nanoparticles would be considered an efficient photocatalyst to degrade textile dyes avoiding the tedious filtration step.

Abstract
We report a non-trivial facile chemical approach using ionic liquid ([bmim][Cl]) as a porogen for the synthesis of (001) faceted TiO2 nanocrystals having mesoscopic void space. This faceted TiO2 nanomaterial has been doped with Pt nanoclusters through chemical impregnation. The resulting Pt-doped TiO2 nanomaterials are thoroughly characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Raman spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), ultra high resolution transmission electron microscopy (UHR-TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), UV-vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS) and N2 sorption studies. These Pt/TiO2 nanocrystals with (001) exposed facets are employed as efficient and benign catalysts for hydrogen production from pure water and methanol-water systems under one AM 1.5G sunlight illumination. The effect of platinum loading and methanol-water ratio on the photocatalytic activity of the faceted TiO2 nanocrystals are investigated and it is found that hydrogen evolution rates have been enhanced significantly upon Pt loading. Under optimized reaction conditions the highest photocatalytic activity of 11.2 mmol h(-1) g(-1) has been achieved over ca. 1.0 wt% Pt loaded Pt/TiO2 nanocrystals with (001) exposed facets, which is one of the highest hydrogen evolution rates over the noble metal/TiO2 system reported to date in the literature.

Abstract
Photocatalysts show great potential in environmental remediation and water splitting using either artificial or natural light. Titanium dioxide (TiO2)-based photocatalysts are studied most frequently because they are stable, non-toxic, readily available, and highly efficient. However, the relatively wide band gap of TiO2 significantly limits its use under visible light or solar light. We herein report a facile route for controllable synthesis of Ti(3+)-doped TiO2 with tunable photocatalytic properties using a hydrothermal method with varying amounts of reductant, i.e., sodium borohydride (NaBH4). The resulting TiO2 showed color changes from light yellow, light grey, to dark grey with the increasing amount of NaBH4. The present method can controllably and effectively reduce Ti(4+) on the surface of TiO2 and induce partial transformation of anatase TiO2 to rutile TiO2, with the evolution of nanoparticles into hierarchical structures attributable to a high pressure and strong alkali environment in the synthesis atmosphere; in this way, the photocatalytic activity of Ti(3+)-doped TiO2 under visible-light can be tuned. The as-developed strategy may open up a new avenue for designing and functionalizing TiO2 materials for enhancing visible light absorption, narrowing band gap, and improving photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
The common household material, egg shell of Anas platyrhynchos is utilized for the synthesis of Silver and Gold-Silver core shell nanoparticles using greener, environment friendly and economic way. The egg shell extracts were acting as a stabilizing and reducing agents. This method avoids the use of external reducing and stabilizing agents, templates and solvents. The effects of various reaction parameters, such as reaction temperature, concentration in the formation of nanoparticles have also been investigated. The compositional abundance of gelatin may be envisaged for the effective reductive as well as stabilizing potency. The mechanisms for the formation of NPs have also been presented. The synthesized Ag NPs formed were predominantly spherical in nature with an average size of particles in the range of 6-26 nm. While, Au-Ag core shell nanoparticles formed were spherical and oval shaped, within a narrow size spectrum of 9-18 nm. Both the Ag NPs Au-and Ag core shell nanoparticles showed characteristic Bragg's reflection planes of fcc structure and surface plasmon resonance at 430 nm and 365 nm, respectively. The NPs were utilized for the removal of toxic and hazardous dyes, such as Rose Bengal, Methyl Violet 6 B and Methylene Blue from aqueous phase. Approximately 98.2%, 98.4% and 97% degradations of Rose Bengal, Methyl Violet 6 B, and Methylene Blue were observed with Ag NPs, while the percentage degradation of these dyes was 97.3%, 97.6% and 96% with Au-Ag NPs, respectively. Therefore, the present study has opened up an innovative way for synthesizing Ag NPs and Au-Ag bimetallic nanostructures of different morphologies and sizes involving the utilization of egg shell extract. The high efficiency of the NPs as photocatalysts has opened a promising application for the removal of hazardous dyes from the industrial effluents.

Abstract
Cubic perovskite ZnTiO3 nanopowder has been prepared by means of a sustainable sol-gel method. The nanopowder (12-20 nm) has been thoroughly characterized by N2 sorption analysis, high-resolution (HR) TEM, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), SEM, and FTIR analyses. The environmentally benign synthesis of highly substituted 1,6-naphthyridines catalyzed by ZnTiO3 nanopowder in aqueous media has been demonstrated. It requires two different catalytic functions, that is, an acid one, which is provided by TiIV ions, and a basic one, which is provided by the oxide ion incorporated within the ZnTiO3 metal oxide framework. 1,6-Naphthyridines are of tremendous biological importance, and this method is simple and environmentally friendly. The greenness of the process was satisfactorily established as water was exploited as the reaction medium and there was very high atom economy.

Abstract
Recyclable visible-light photocatalyst Fe₃O₄@TiO₂ with core-shell structure was prepared by a simple synthetic strategy using solvothermal crystallization of titanium precursor on preformed Fe₃O₄ nanopartiles. The photo-degradation reaction of neutral red aqueous solution was tested to evaluate the visible-light photocatalytic activity of the as prepared Fe₃O₄@TiO₂ nanoparticles, which show excellent photocatalytic activity compared with commercial P25 catalyst. Moreover, the Fe₃O₄@TiO₂ nanocomposites can be easily separated from the reaction mixture, and maintain favorable photocatalytic activity after five cycles. The high visible light absorption of the Fe₃O₄@TiO₂ nanocomposites may originate from the absence of electronic heterojunction, excellently dispersity and the high specific surface area of the as-synthesized Fe₃O₄@TiO₂ samples.

Abstract
Evaporation-Induced Self-Assembly (EISA) method for the preparation of mesoporous titanium dioxide materials is reviewed. The versatility of EISA method for the rapid and facile synthesis of TiO₂ thin films and powders is highlighted. Non-ionic surfactants such as Pluronic P123, F127 and cationic surfactants such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide have been extensively employed for the preparation of mesoporous TiO₂. In particular, EISA method allows for fabrication of highly uniform, robust, crack-free films with controllable thickness. Eleven characterization techniques for elucidating the structure of the EISA prepared mesoporous TiO₂ are discussed in this paper. These many characterization methods provide a holistic picture of the structure of mesoporous TiO₂. Mesoporous titanium dioxide materials have been employed in several applications that include Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs), photocatalytic degradation of organics and splitting of water, and batteries.
