Photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XFS), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area technique.Different iodine/titanium ratios (nI/nTi=0.0-2.6) were applied during the synthesis and the optimum value was determined by phenol degradation under UV and VIS irradiations. The photocatalytic efficiency towards phenol degradation and the inactivation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) contaminated water under visible light illumination (conventional 24W energy-saving compact fluorescence lamps) of the most active iodine-doped TiO2 (nI/nTi=0.5; 79.5m2/g; 98wt% anatase) was compared with well known reference photocatalysts, that are Aeroxide P25 and Aldrich anatase (>85nm primary crystallite size). Results showed that our iodine doped TiO2 was far more efficient at inactivating the E. coli and decomposing the phenol than Aeroxide P25. Electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements confirmed the formation of highly reactive OH radicals by the iodine doped titania under VIS irradiation. In contrast, singlet oxygen and superoxide radical ions were not detected. The performed experiments also proved that dissolved iodine was produced in very low concentrations (about 0.01-0.025mg/L) from the irradiated titanium dioxide. The dissolved iodine could have some contribution to the phenol oxidation and the disinfection effects. This study demonstrated this property of iodine-doped titanias for the first time. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.}, keywords = {Escherichia coli; disinfection; Photocatalysis; Spin Trapping; Visible light; Iodine doped; titanium dioxide}, year = {2013}, eissn = {1873-3883}, pages = {194-201}, orcid-numbers = {Veréb, Gábor/0000-0001-9642-1851; Manczinger, László/0000-0003-1031-7522; Oszkó, Albert Zoltán/0000-0002-6215-2451; Hernádi, Klára/0000-0001-9419-689X} } @article{MTMT:1992105, title = {Synthesis and Photocatalytic Performance of Titanium Dioxide Nanofibers and the Fabrication of Flexible Composite Films from Nanofibers}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1992105}, author = {Wu, MC and Toth, G and Sápi, András and Leino, AR and Kónya, Zoltán and Kukovecz, Ákos and Su, WF and Kordás, Krisztián}, doi = {10.1166/jnn.2012.4655}, journal-iso = {J NANOSCI NANOTECHNO}, journal = {JOURNAL OF NANOSCIENCE AND NANOTECHNOLOGY}, volume = {12}, unique-id = {1992105}, issn = {1533-4880}, abstract = {Titanium dioxide nanofibers were synthesized and applied in flexible composite films that are easy to handle and recycle after use. The nanofibers were obtained in a multi-step procedure. First, sodium titanate nanofibers were prepared from TiO2 nanoparticles through the alkali hydrothermal method. In the next step, sodium hydrogen titanate nanofibers were made by washing the sodium titanate nanofibers in HCI solution. Finally, the sodium hydrogen titanate nanofibers were transformed to TiO2 anatase nanofibers by calcination in air. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2 anatase nanofibers were evaluated and compared to a TiO2 nanoparticle catalyst by decomposing methyl orange dye in aqueous solutions. The achieved reaction rate constant of TiO2 anatase nanofibers was comparable to that of Degussa P25. Paper-like flexible composite films were prepared by co-filtrating aqueous dispersions of TiO2 catalyst materials and cellulose.

The performance of the nanofiber-based TiO2 materials is competitive with-and in some cases outperforms-their conventional nanoparticle-based counterparts. In all cases, Pd-decorated TiO2 nanoparticles and nanofibers proved to be more efficient than their Pt-based counterparts, which could be explained on the basis of the formation of nano-sized Schottky interfaces at the contacts between TiO2 and metal nanoparticles.
