The impact of tio2 modifications on the effectiveness of photocatalytic processes [review]
Journal Title: Acta Innovations - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 28
Abstract
This paper outlines the recent studies on the application of photocatalysis using semiconductors, with modified titanium dioxide (TiO2) in the process of reducing chemical contamination of surface and ground waters. During the last forty years, an increasing interest in catalysts of this type is noticeable. Hence, a wide range of methods of TiO2 modifications have been proposed so far by using its various polymorphs, composites with metals and non-metals and polymer-coatings or impregnating it with dyes that effectively absorb sunlight.

The optimisation of chromatographic conditions for the determination of acceptor-donor properties of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide
The oxidised and reduced graphene samples (having different surface functionalities) were studied by inverse gas chromatography to characterise their acceptor-donor properties. The DN values denoting the donor number in...
