The development of durable photocatalytic supports resistant in harsh environment has become challenging in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) focusing on water and wastewater remediation. In this study, stainless steel (SS), SS/Ti (N,O) and SS/Cr-N/Cr (N,O) anticorrosion layers on SS meshes were dip-coated with sol gel synthesised C-N-TiO2 photo catalysts pyrolysed at 350 °C for 105 min, using a heating rate of 50 °C/min under N2 gas. The supported C-N-TiO2 films were characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The results showed that C-N-TiO2 was successfully deposited on anticorrosion coated SS supports and had different morphologies. The amorphous C and TiO2 were predominant in C-N-TiO2 over anatase and rutile phases on the surface of SS and anticorrosion supports. The C-N-TiO2 coated films showed enhanced photocatalytic activity for the decolouration of O.II dye under both solar and UV radiations. The fabricated C-N-TiO2 films showed significant antibacterial activities in the dark as well as in visible light. Herein, we demonstrate that SS/Ti(N,O) and SS/Cr-N/Cr(N,O) anticorrosion coatings are adequate photocatalytic and corrosion resistant supports. The C-N-TiO2 photo catalytic coatings can be used for water and wastewater decontamination of pollutants and microbes.

ABSTRACTCorrosion resistant Sol-Gel ZrO2, coatings deposited by dip coating technique on 316 L stainless steel sheets have been fabricated utilizing sonocatalysed precursors sols prepared from zirconium alkoxide Zr(OC3H7)4, isopropanol, glacial acetic acid and water. Their composition varied between 0,025 to 0,9 mol/1 ZrO2. The coatings have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR optical reflection, ellipsometry and scanning electron microscopy. When densified under a slow heat treatment thin coatings exhibit outstanding corrosion resistance as no weight change has been observed after 24 h chemical attack in H2SO4 aqueous solution at 81°C and 10 h oxidation treatment in air at 800°C. Thick films as well as films densified under rapid heat treatments tend to crack and are less corrosion resistant.

The ZnO/TiO2 composite films were deposited over glass using spin coating technique by sol-gel process. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were used to modify the ZnO/TiO2 films successfully in this paper. The structure and composition of the ZnO/TiO2 composite and SWNTs doped ZnO/TiO2 composite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology of samples was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photocatalytic activity was investigated by photocatalytic degradation of aqueous methyl orange under ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The UV-vis absorption spectra of the ZnO/TiO2 films and SWNTs doped ZnO/TiO2 films in the wavelength region 200~800 nm were obtained. The results indicate that the SWNTs addition can decrease the grain size of ZnO/TiO2, which can enhance the photocatalytic activity. UV-vis absorption spectra of SWNTs-ZnO/TiO2 showed obvious blue shifts compared with ZnO/TiO2. The optimal amount of doping SWNTs is 1% according to this research. The enhanced mechanism of the SWNTs for the photocatalytic activity in ZnO/TiO2 films was analyzed in this article.

Doped Titania

The synthesis of Ni doped titania (TiO2) nanoparticles were achieved via simple novel sol gel technique, in which Titanium-n-butoxide and NiCl2 were taken as precursors. Effect of different wt% of dopant in TiO2 was studied on photocatalytic degradation of Aniline blue and Toluidine Blue. The study suggested the increased photocatalytic degradation with increased time duration. The synthesized samples were analyzed by surface electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction studies. The antibacterial activity was investigated against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus bacteriae. Studies revealed that on increasing the dopant concentration, the diameter of zone of inhibition also increased upto 1.5 wt%.

Ultra-thin superhydrophilic titanium oxide films were fabricated on silicon microchannels by an in situ reaction sol-gel method using titanium tetraisopropoxide as a starting material.. By changing the concentration of water in ethanol and reaction time, the thickness of synthesized TiO2 films can be controlled from around 10 nm to 80 nm. The contact angle of as-synthesized TiO2 films on flat silicon is around 20° and can be further decreased to zero by calcination at 700 °C in nitrogen atmosphere. X-ray diffraction spectra show the microstructure of the TiO2 films changed gradually from amorphous to anatase with the increase of calcination temperature. Surface morphology of the film before and after calcination also shows that a smoother coating with crystal structure was obtained by heat treatment. The flow velocity in the TiO2 coated channel reached around 0.03 m/s, almost ten times of that in PDDA/PSS coated channel and 4 times of that in SiO2 coated one. The ultra-thin superhydrophilic TiO2 films fabricated by this method show the ability to strongly increase the wettability of microchannels without affecting the morphology of the sidewall of the channels, indicating potential applications to biomolecule analysis and surface tension driven microfluidic systems.

ABSTRACTFerroelectric 0.7BiFeO3-0.3PbTiO3 (BFO-PT) films were deposited on stainless steel substrates by the sol-gel method. A thin layer of PbTiO3 (PT) was introduced between the substrates and BFO-PT films in order to decrease the annealing temperature of BFO-PT films. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that BFO-PT films could be well crystallized into the perovskite structure at about 575 oC. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images show that BFO-PT thin films have grain size of about 50∼60 nm. Our results indicated BFO-PT films deposited on stainless steel substrates maintained the excellent ferroelectric properties with remnant polarization of about 40∼50 μC/cm2.

Nano-sized TiO2/V2O5 bilayer coatings were prepared on type304 stainless steel substrate by sol-gel method and were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD). The performance of photocathode protection of the coating was investigated by the electrochemical method. SEM results indicate that the coating surface is continuous, uniform and dense, XRD spectra show that the coating is of anatase TiO2 and V2O5. The experimental results demonstrate that type 304 stainless steel with the bilayer coating can maintain cathode protection for 6h in the dark after irradiation by UV illumination for 1 h.

Producing active thin films coated on supports resolves many issues of powder-based photo catalysis and energy harvesting. In this study, thin films of C-N-TiO2 were prepared by dynamic spin coating of C-N-TiO2 sol-gel on glass support. The effect of spin speed and sol gel precursor to solvent volume ratio on the film thickness was investigated. The C-N-TiO2-coated glass was annealed at 350 °C at a ramping rate of 10 °C/min with a holding time of 2 hours under a continuous flow of dry N2. The C-N-TiO2 films were characterised by profilometry analysis, light microscopy (LM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The outcomes of this study proved that a spin coating technique followed by an annealing process to stabilise the layer could be used for immobilisation of the photo catalyst on glass. The exposure of C-N-TiO2 films to UV radiation induced photocatalytic decolouration of orange II (O.II) dye. The prepared C-N-TiO2 films showed a reasonable power conversion efficiency average (PCE of 9%) with respect to the reference device (15%). The study offers a feasible route for the engineering of C-N-TiO2 films applicable to wastewater remediation processes and energy harvesting in solar cell technologies.
