Development of visible light active TiO2 for interior self-cleaning coatings

We demostrated that by appropriate doping it is possible to shift the photocatalytic activity from the UV to visible part of spectrum.

The influence of selected synthesis parameters on the structural and functional properties of nanocrystalline titania

We have studied the influence of selected synthesis parameters on certain key properties (phase composition, specific surface area, microstructure and photocatalytic activity) of the nanocrystalline titania that influence its photoactivity. The results have shown that pH value, starting concentration, and isopropanol addition to the reaction mixture before heating have a significant effect on the anatase:rutile ratio and consequently on morphology and particle size. By varying the anatase:rutile ratio and by doping, photocatalysts with significant activity in the visible light can be tailored.
