Journal ArticleDOI
Colloidal Counterpart of the TiO2-Supported V2O5 System: A Case Study of Oxide-on-Oxide Deposition by Wet Chemical Techniques. Synthesis, Vanadium Speciation, and Gas-Sensing Enhancement

TL;DR: In this paper, the starting amorphous TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared by hydrolytic processing of TiCl4-derived solutions, and a V-containing solution, prepared from methanolysis of VCl4, was added to the TiO 2 suspension before a solvothermal crystallization step in oleic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface modification of TiO2 nanocrystals by WOx coating or wrapping: Solvothermal synthesis and enhanced surface chemistry
Mauro Epifani,Raül Díaz,Carmen Force,Elisabetta Comini,Marta Manzanares,Teresa Andreu,Aziz Genç,Jordi Arbiol,Jordi Arbiol,Pietro Siciliano,Guido Faglia,Joan Ramon Morante +11 more
TL;DR: It was shown that even the simple surface modification of the TiO2 host resulted in a 3 orders of magnitude response improvement with respect to pureTiO2, compared with pure TiO1 and WO3 analogously prepared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inorganic Photocatalytic Enhancement: Activated RhB Photodegradation by Surface Modification of SnO2 Nanocrystals with V2O5-like species
Mauro Epifani,Saulius Kaciulis,Alessio Mezzi,Davide Altamura,Cinzia Giannini,Raül Díaz,Carmen Force,Aziz Genç,Jordi Arbiol,Pietro Siciliano,Elisabetta Comini,Isabella Concina +11 more
TL;DR: From the crossed use of various characterization techniques, it emerged that the as-prepared materials were constituted by cassiterite SnO2 nanocrystals with a surface modified by isolated V(IV) oxide species.
Journal ArticleDOI
TiO2 colloidal nanocrystals surface modification by V2O5 species: Investigation by 47,49Ti MAS-NMR and H2, CO and NO2 sensing properties
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the vanadium oxide species enhanced the surface re-configuration of the Ti ions, by formation of further bonds and imposition of a given local geometry.
