Antibacterial and Photocatalytic Activities of Controllable (Anatase /Rutile) Mixed Phase TiO2 Nanophotocatalyst Synthesized by Microwave- Assisted Sol-Gel Method
The idea of preparing different ratios of (anatase/rutile) TiO2 mixture has been performed by using microwave assisted sol-gel method and by applying particular concentrations of titanium (IV) isopropoxide as a single source precursor (SSP) with a constant concentration of nitric acid that has been used as structure directing agent. The effect of TiO2 composition ratio of anatase to rutile on ... Read more

Template Assisted Microwave Synthesis of rGO-ZrO2 Composites: Efficient Photocatalysts Under Visible Light
In this research, cetyltetraethyl ammonium bromide template assisted microwave procedure was utilized to synthesize reduced graphene oxide-zirconia (rGO-ZrO2) nanocomposites by varying the rGO composition (1, 2, 5 and 10 wt%).
