Influence of LA/Ti molar ratio on the complex synthesis of anatase/brookite nanoparticles and their hydrogen production

Jaroslav Cihlar et al.

Summary: Heterophase TiO2 nanoparticles were studied under the influence of a substance with two donor groups at low concentrations, with the phase composition controlled by the LA/Ti molar ratio. Different phase compositions were observed at different ratios, and TiO2 nanoparticles with high specific surface area and photocatalytic activity were produced under certain conditions for hydrogen production by water splitting.

Phase-Dependent MoS2 Nanoflowers for Light-Driven Antibacterial Application

Chinmaya Mutalik et al.

Summary: Metallic phase 1T-MoS2 nanoflowers and semiconducting phase 2H-MoS2 nanoflowers were prepared through a solvothermal and combustion method, demonstrating antibacterial activities and mechanisms against Escherichia coli under light irradiation. The metallic 1T-MoS2 nanoflowers showed higher light-driven antibacterial activity compared to the semiconducting 2H-MoS2 nanoflowers, with EPR spectroscopy confirming the generation of ROS due to photoinduced electrons from the metallic nanoflowers. Photoinduced electrons from metallic 1T-MoS2 nanoflowers reacted with oxygen to induce bacterial death, while rapid recombination of photoinduced electrons and holes in the semiconducting 2H-MoS2 nanoflowers resulted in decreased ROS generation and diminished antibacterial activity.
