Photocatalytic decomposition of rhodamine-B using scandium and silver-modified TiO2 Powders

Semiconductor-mediated photocatalytic oxidation is an interesting method for water decontamination and a specially modified TiO2 is said to be a promising material. This study verified that the synthesis of 1wt%Ag modified-Sc0.01Ti0.99O1.995 powder samples prepared by Polymeric Precursor Method is capable of forming a mixture of anatase-rutile phase with high photocatalytic performance. This kind of material is found to have a lower bandgap compared to the TiO2-anatase commercial powders, which can be associated to an innovative hybrid modification. The simultaneous insertion of scandium in order to generate a p-type semiconductor and a metallic silver nanophase acting as an electron trapper demonstrated being capable of enhancing the degradation of rhodamine B compared to the commercial TiO2. In spite of the different thermal treatments or phase amounts, the hybrid modified powder samples showed higher photocatalytic activity than the commercial ones.

Preparação de nanofio via deposição eletroquímica utilizando modelo de membrana porosa

From the last decade of the twentieth century, the rapid growth of nanotechnology has resulted in the discovery of a number of forms of nanoparticles and nanoclusters. We can cite as an example: nanotubes, nanowires, nanobelts, and nanoconesnanoclusters which have a wide range of applications, particularly as catalysts magnetic material nanodevices, chemical sensors, degradation of toxic chemicals, or even as possible carriers for the isotope medical applications.. The first step is the production and characterization of nanowires multithreaded using different types of metals (nickel, silver, gold) and polymers (pyrrole), which are prepared by electrochemical deposition process. Will be held by the characterization of the same images of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM)

Monofilamentary Ag/Bi:2212 tapes - Effects of silver powder addition

The Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system has been one of the most studied superconducting ceramic materials for industry applications. The most of the studies with this aim are on silver/ceramic composites, due to the benefits and great compatibility of this metal with the oxide. Tapes made by the powder in tube (PIT) method have been successfully tested in pilot power plants in many countries but in Brazil. In this paper, 5, 10, and 20-wt% silver powders are introduced to compose the core of the tape along with the Bi:2212 ceramic powder. The results of electrical experiments are compared with those made with no silver addition Ag tapes. The best current density, at 60 K and no applied magnetic field, was found for the 10-wt% silver proportion, doubling the value obtained for the tape with no silver in the core.
