Photoinduced reactivity of titanium dioxide
TL;DR: In this paper, photo-induced superhydrophilicity was used on the surface of a wide-band gap semiconductor like titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) for photocatalytic activity towards environmentally hazardous compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
A mechanistic study of the antibacterial effect of silver ions on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
TL;DR: The existence of elements of silver and sulfur in the electron-dense granules and cytoplasm detected by X-ray microanalysis suggested the antibacterial mechanism of silver: DNA lost its replication ability and the protein became inactivated after Ag(+) treatment.
