Effect of N-doping on the photocatalytic activity of sol-gel TiO2

TL;DR: XPS studies revealed that nitrogen remained within the TiO(2) lattice at higher temperatures, and photocatalytic activity also reduced with increased annealing temperature, resulting in diminished visible light absorption capability.

Applications of nanomaterials in water treatment and environmental remediation

TL;DR: In this paper, a succinct review of the most common and popular nanomaterials (titania, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), zero-valent iron, dendrimers and silver nanoparticles) which are currently used in environmental remediation and particularly in water purification is provided.

Synthesis of nano titania particles embedded in mesoporous SBA-15: Characterization and photocatalytic activity

TL;DR: Experimental results indicate that the photocatalytic activity of titania/silica mixed materials depends on the adsorption ability of composite and the photosorption activity of the titania, and there is an optimal ratio of Ti:Si, too high or lowTi:Si ratio will lower the photodegradation ability of the composites.
