Cu-Doped TiO2: Visible Light Assisted Photocatalytic Antimicrobial Activity /
Mathew, Snehamol; Ganguly, Priyanka; Rhatigan, Stephen; Kumaravel, Vignesh; Byrne, Ciara; Hinder, Steven J.; Bartlett, John; Nolan, Michael; Pillai, Suresh C. (MDPI, 2018-10-26)Surface contamination by microbes is a major public health concern. A damp environment is one of potential sources for microbe proliferation. Smart photocatalytic coatings on building surfaces using semiconductors like ... -
Effect of Cu doping on the anatase-to-rutile phase transition in TiO2 photocatalysts: theory and experiments /
Byrne, Ciara; Moran, Lorraine; Hermosilla, Daphne; Blanco, Ángeles; Rhatigan, Stephen; Hinder, Steven; Ganguly, Priyanka; Nolan, Michael; Merayo, Noemí; Pillai, Suresh C. (Elsevier, 2019-01-22)This paper shows that incorporation of Cu inhibits the anatase to rutile phase transition at temperatures above 500 °C. The control sample, with 0% Cu contained 34.3% anatase at 600 °C and transitioned to 100% rutile ... -
Modification of TiO2 with hBN: high temperature anatase phase stabilisation and photocatalytic degradation of 1,4-dioxane /
Byrne, Ciara; Rhatigan, Stephen; Hermosilla, Daphne; Merayo, Noemí; Blanco, Angeles; Michel, Marie Clara; Hinder, Steven; Nolan, Michael; Pillai, Suresh C. (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 ...
