TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the effectiveness of various visible light activated TiO2 photocatalysts for treating contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), bacteria and cyanotoxins.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple methodology is reported to extend the anatase rutile transformation by employing various concentrations of urea, and the effect of small amounts of Urea such as 1:0.25 and 1: 0.5 Ti(OPr)4:urea has also been studied and compared.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple methodology to extend the anatase phase stability by modifying the titanium isopropoxide precursor with sulfur modification using sulfuric acid is presented, and these samples were characterized by XRD, DSC, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, and BET surface area analysis.

TL;DR: The morphology of the microcrystalline zinc oxide formed by reaction of zinc salts with sodium hydroxide depends critically on the reaction conditions as discussed by the authors, and the nature of the solid product has been probed by scanning electron microcopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the concentration of zinc remaining in the solution has been determined at regular intervals throughout the reaction.

TL;DR: The biofilm inhibition of a Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm using a low-temperature processed silver-doped phenyltriethoxysilane sol-gel coating and the antibacterial effect of silver release coatings on neighbouring bacterial cultures is reported.
