Highly efficient F, Cu doped TiO2 anti-bacterial visible light active photocatalytic coatings to combat hospital-acquired infections
(Nature, 2016)Bacterial infections are a major threat to the health of patients in healthcare facilities including hospitals. One of the major causes of patient morbidity is infection with Staphylococcus aureus. One of the the most ... -
History of Dreissena research and the ICAIS gateway to aquatic invasions research
(2012)Research on the ecology and impacts of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) has developed in parallel with the long history of their spread across Europe and to North America. There is less scientific knowledge however ... -
History of the Zebra Mussel/ICAIS Conference series
(2010)The International Conference on Aquatic Invasive Species (ICAIS) (http://www.icais.org) has evolved over the last two decades into a broad comprehensive international forum for the dissemination, outreach and review ... -
In vitro pulmonary toxicity of thermally processed titania nanotubes /
(Springer, 2020)he current study examined the in vitro pulmonary toxicity of titania nanotubes induced by the morphological and crystalline changes associated with post-synthetic thermal processing. A549 lung carcinoma cells were exposed ... -
Indium-Doped TiO2 Photocatalysts with High-Temperature Anatase Stability /
(American Chemical Society, 2019)The thermal stability of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a prerequisite to fabricate photocatalyst coated indoor building materials for use in antimicrobial and self-cleaning applications under normal room light ... -
Kilgreany, Co. Waterford: biography of a cave
(Wordwell, 2002)The title of this paper reflects the idea that certain places in the landscape have a biography of their own (Bradley 2000 48). The archaeological material recovered from Kilgreany Cave is examined and the evidence for ... -
Mo doped TiO2 : impact on oxygen vacancies, anatase phase stability and photocatalytic activity /
(IOP Publishing, 2020)This work outlines an experimental and theoretical investigation of the effect of molybdenum (Mo) doping on the oxygen vacancy formation and photocatalytic activity of TiO2. Analytical techniques such as x-ray diffraction ... -
Modification of TiO2 with hBN: high temperature anatase phase stabilisation and photocatalytic degradation of 1,4-dioxane /
(IoP, 2019)This paper examines the modification of anatase TiO2 with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and the impact this coupling has on the temperature of the anatase to rutile phase transition and photocatalytic activity. All samples ... -
A new archaeological site in the Burren : Moneen Cave
(Burrenbeo Trust, 2012)The Burren is renowned for its rich archaeological heritage as well as for its impressive cave systems both of which made the discovery of a new cave with archaeological material especially exciting. Moneen Cave is ... -
New insights into the efficient charge transfer of ternary chalcogenides composites of TiO2 /
(Elsevier, 2020-10-05)A two-step solvothermal synthesis was adopted to prepare AgXSe2-TiO2 (X = In, Bi) composites. DFT study of the pristine parent samples showed the formation of the hexagonal phase of AgBiSe2, and tetragonal phase of AgInSe2 ... -
New insights into the mechanism of visible light photocatalysis
(ACS Publications, 2014)In recent years, the area of developing visible-lightactive photocatalysts based on titanium dioxide has been enormously investigated due to its wide range of applications in energy and environment related fields. Various ... -
Open-access journal Aquatic Invasions: an important part of the developing European information and early warning system on invasive alien species
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre - REABIC, 2011)Aquatic Invasions is considered as an example of an effective information sharing tool, currently helping to increase prompt reporting of records of new invasive species threatening European biodiversity. -
Pd loaded TiO2 nanotubes for the effective catalytic reduction of p-Nitrophenol
(Springer, 2015)Titania nanotubes decorated with Pd nanoparticles were synthesised by a hydrothermal method. The increased amounts of Pd concentration is found to facilitate the anatase to rutile crystalline phase transformation as well ... -
