Materials Used

The electrochemical preparation of arrays of copper ultramicrowires (CuUWs) by using porous membranes as templates is critically revisited, with the goal of obtaining cheap but efficient substrates for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The role of the materials used for the electrodeposition is examined, comparing membranes of anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) vs. track-etched polycarbonate (PC) as well as copper vs. glassy carbon (GC) as electrode material. A voltammetric study performed on bare electrodes and potentiostatic tests on membrane coated electrodes allowed the optimization of the deposition parameters. The final arrays of CuUWs were obtained by chemical etching of the template, with NaOH for AAO and CH2Cl2 for PC. After total etching of the template, SERS spectra were recorded on CuUWs using benzenethiol as SERS probe with known spectral features. The CuUW substrates displayed good SERS properties, providing enhancement factor in the 103–104 range. Finally, it was demonstrated that higher Raman enhancement can be achieved when CuUWs are decorated with silver nanostars, supporting the formation of SERS active hot-spots at the bimetallic interface.

Air Circulation

An ever-increasing rate of morbidity and mortality caused by healthcare associated infections is reported annually. Air circulation mediates contact with microbial contaminated aerosols and represents a major risk of transmitting healthcare associated infections. We propose a revolutionary technique for the protection of interior surfaces based on a photocatalytic composition with doped TiO2 or ZnO type semiconductor metal oxides which exert antimicrobial effect. In principle, there is an activation of the photocatalytic coating with light from the normal lighting apparatus, which may incorporate one or more sources of photocatalytic excitation light. By studying the air circulation in the hospital, it is possible to design light fixtures with specific design of light distribution, in order to perform the disinfection of the air and surfaces and to amplify the antimicrobial effect. The disinfection process does not affect patients or healthcare professionals, it can be done in their presence and has a continuous, controllable effect. Photocatalytic paint in combination with a prototype luminaire with a precise spectrum light sources, light output and a light intensity distribution curve relative to the shape and dimensions of the rooms, shows that the proposed method may represent a successful alternative to classical methods of disinfection in hospitals. This technique can also be used in other areas of interest.

This study is focused on the preparation of metal (Cu, Zn) nanopowders by an electrochemical reduction/precipitation procedure, which provides the primary components for the development of CuZn alloy metallic foams. This well-controlledmethod allows straight forward control of the reaction parameters and the restriction of oxidation effects, while resulting in stable and small grain size metal nanopowders. Whether precipitation of Cu and Zn is held separately or in alternating deposition mode, the characteristics of synthesized nanopowders assist easier mixing, alloying and realization of metallic foams suitable for water treatment applications. CuZn alloy foams developed with this technique presented equivalent efficiency and lower corrosion and leaching rates compared to those prepared with commercial powder methods.
