Visible-Light Photocatalytic Activity of Pt/TiO2 Nano-Composites in Aqueous and Gaseous Media

At the international conference on photocatalytic materials, held in San Diego, Vojka Žunič presented the results of photocatalytic activity of TiO2/Pt composites investigated in solution- using methylene blue degradation reaction, as well as photocatalytic activity of the material induced in gaseous media- using isopropanol-aceton oxidation.

Antibacterial protection of refrigirators

Master thesis deals with antibacterial protection of refrigeration appliances. Particular emphasis was given to the most widely used silver-based antibacterial protection. The Thesis contains a detailed description of the photocatalitic process principle and summaries of some comparative studies of additives which manufactures add in the inner liner base material as well as the data of the analysis of their surface morphology. On the basis of coparative tests and experiences gained through this study, the possibility of using such additives for antibacterial protection is critically evaluated.
