Journal ArticleDOI
Flame-made WO3/TiO2 nanoparticles: Relation between surface acidity, structure and photocatalytic activity
Kranthi K. Akurati,Andri Vital,Jean-Philippe Dellemann,Katarzyna A. Michalow,Thomas Graule,Davide Ferri,Alfons Baiker +6 more
TL;DR: WO 3 /TiO 2 composite nanoparticles have been synthesized by dissolving W and Ti precursors in a suitable solvent and spraying into a high temperature acetylene-oxygen flame using a reactive atomizing gas as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
One-step flame synthesis of SnO2/TiO2 composite nanoparticles for photocatalytic applications
TL;DR: In this article, a single-step synthesis of SnO2/TiO2 composite nanoparticles was performed by feeding evaporated precursor mixtures into an atmospheric pressure diffusion flame, and the resulting powders were characterized by BET surface area analysis, XRD, TEM, EDAX and UV-Vis spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen Doping of TiO2 Photocatalyst Forms a Second eg State in the Oxygen 1s NEXAFS Pre-edge
Artur Braun,Kranthi K. Akurati,Giuseppino Fortunato,Felix A. Reifler,Axel Ritter,Ashley S. Harvey,Andri Vital,Thomas Graule +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the pre-edge in oxygen near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectra of single-step, gas-phase-synthesized titanium oxynitride photocatalysts with 20 nm particle size was examined.

Nitrogen doping of TiO2 photocatalyst forms a second eg state in the Oxygen (1s) NEXAFS pre-edge
Artur Braun,Kranthi K. Akurati,Giuseppino Fortunato,Felix A. Reifler,Axel Ritter,Ashley S. Harvey,Andri Vital,Thomas Graule +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the pre-edge in oxygen near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectra of single step, gas phase synthesized titanium oxynitride photocatalysts with 20 nm particle size was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flame synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles with high photocatalytic activity
TL;DR: In this paper, an existing method to determine the crystallinity of the powder has been modified which facilitates comparison of the degree of crystallinity and surface area of the nanoparticles synthesized by various methods.
