AB  - The interfacial charge transfer (ICT) complex formation is a simple procedure to bring optical absorption of widebandgap oxide materials in the visible spectral range, crucial for enhancing their use in photo-driven reactions. The optical absorption of the prepared ICT complexes between ZnO and five different colorless benzene derivatives is red-shifted compared to pristine ZnO nanopowder. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided realistic energy level alignment in hybrid systems. Also, the DFT-calculated infrared spectra support the binding structures derived based on experimental measurements of free and adsorbed ligands onto ZnO surfaces. The photocatalytic performance of prepared hybrids was evaluated using photocatalytic hydrogen generation in the water-splitting reaction. The ZnO nanopowders modified with catechol and caffeic acid have over 50% higher hydrogen production rate than pristine ZnO, displaying steady hydrogen production under long-run working conditions.

AB  - The attachment of squaric acid, a non-aromatic molecule, to the surface of TiO2 powder induced the optical absorption of the obtained hybrid material in the visible spectral range due to the interfacial charge transfer complex formation. The optical characterization of the hybrid is supported by the density functional theory calculations of the model cluster. The paramagnetic species generated upon excitation with ultraviolet or visible light, in both TiO2 powders, pristine and surface-modified, were identified conducting low-temperature solid-state and indirect electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy experiments (spin trapping and spin scavenging). The solid-state EPR experiments indicated the promotion of electrons from the organic moiety to the titania conduction band under visible-light excitation of hybrid. Also, the spin scavenging experiments showed that the electrons generated in the hybrid upon the visible-light activation facilitate the reduction of the radical cations present in the dispersion, while these effects are not observed for pristine TiO2.

AB  - The efficiency of titanate-nanotubes-based photocatalysts towards hydrogen production was studied in the presence of the sacrificial agent, 2-propanol. The highest hydrogen production rate (~120 lmol h 1 g 1 ) was observed over surface-modified titanate nanotubes by 5-amino salicylic acid decorated with nanometer-sized silver nanoparticles. The X-ray diffraction analysis, transmission electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, and diffuse reflection spectroscopy were applied to characterize the prepared photocatalytic materials. The better photocatalytic performance of inorganic–organic hybrid materials in comparison to the pristine titanate nanotubes is a consequence of their improved light-harvesting ability due to the formation of interfacial charge transfer (ICT) complex, as well as the presence of metallic silver nanoparticles that suppress the recombination of photo-generated charge carriers. The spin trapping EPR experiments under irradiation of prepared photocatalysts with either UV or visible light were used to monitor the appearance of hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radical anions. The generation of superoxide radical anions under visible light irradiation was detected for hybrid materials, but not for the pristine titanate nanotubes. These results are a consequence of enhanced promotion ofelectrons to the conduction band due to extended absorption in visible spectral range in hybrids and support the higher efficiency of hydrogen generation observed for surface-modified titanate nanotubes by 5-amino salicylic acid decorated with silver nanoparticles.

AB  - Surface modification of Al2O3 powders, prepared using reproducible sol-gel synthetic route with small colorless organic molecules, induces charge transfer complex formation and the appearance of absorption in the visible spectral region. Comprehensive microstructural characterization involving transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, revealed that γ-crystalline alumina powders consist of mesoporous particles in the size range from 0.1 to 0.3 μm, with specific surface area of 54.8 m2/g, and pore radius between 3 and 4 nm. The attachment of catecholate-type of ligands (catechol, caffeic acid, gallic acid, dopamine and 2,3-dihydroxy naphthalene), salicylate-type of ligands (salicylic acid and 5-amino salicylic acid), and ascorbic acid, to the surface such γ-Al2O3 particles leads to the formation of colored powders and activates their absorption in visible-light spectral region. To the best of our knowledge, similar transformation of an insulator (Al2O3), with the band gap energy of 8.7 eV, into a semiconductor-like hybrid material with tunable optical properties has not been reported in the literature before. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations with periodic boundary conditions were performed in order to estimate the energy gaps of various inorganic/organic hybrids. The calculated values compare well with the experimental data. The good agreement between the calculated and experimentally determined band gaps was found, thus demonstrating predictive ability of the theory when proper model is used.

AB  - Nickel-modified titanate/TiO2 catalysts were prepared by deposition of nickel ions onto hydrothermally prepared titanate supports, followed by hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction. Two different nickel precursors (hydroxide and carbonate) were used to tune reducibility and to vary the crystal phase structure of the final catalysts. The precursor reducibility and functional properties of the final catalysts were investigated systematically using various characterisation techniques. The results revealed a more facile reduction of the hydroxide precursor compared to its carbonate counterpart. Moreover, it was found that the formation of the anatase phase was favoured by the use of the hydroxide precipitation agent. The photocatalytic activity towards hydrogen production of the prepared catalysts was evaluated in the presence of 2-propanol under simulated solar light irradiation. A thorough study of the photocatalytic performance of the synthesised catalysts was conducted as a function of the precipitation agent used and the reduction temperature applied. The catalyst with dominant anatase crystal phase displayed the highest photocatalytic activity with a maximum H2 production rate of 1040 μmol h−1 g−1, this being more than four times higher than that of its carbonate counterpart. The catalysts with titanate structure showed similar activity, independent of the precipitation method used. The nanotubular structure was found to be the dominant factor in the stability of photocatalysts under long-run working conditions. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

AB  - Antimicrobial performance of silver nanoparticles supported by functionalized hydroxyapatite with 5-aminosalycile acid was tested against Gram-negative bacteria E. coli, Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus and yeast C. albicans. Thorough characterization of materials (electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption desorption isotherms, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy) followed each step during the course of nanocomposite preparation. Synthesized powder consists of rod-like hydroxyapatite particles (40-60 x 10-20 nm, length x diameter) decorated with nano-sized spherical silver particles whose content in nanocomposite was found to be 1.9 wt.-%. Concentration- and time-dependent bacterial reduction data indicated that use of silver nanoparticles even at concentration as low as 1 mu g mL(-1) lead to complete reduction of both bacteria (E. coli and S. aureus). On the other hand, non-toxic behavior of nanocomposite in broad concentration range (0.05-2.0 mg mL(-1)) was found towards C albicans. Successful inactivation of E. coli and S. aureus in five repeated cycles proved that synthesized nanocomposite can perform under long-run working conditions. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

AB  - Under normal conditions, titanium dioxide does not absorb visible light photons due to large band gap. Nevertheless, when titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) are surface-modified with thiosalicylic acid (TSA), their optical properties are altered owing to the formation of charge transfer complex that initiates absorption in the visible spectral range. Colloidal and sol-gel techniques were used to synthesize uniform TiO2 NPs of different sizes (average diameters in the range 4-15 nm), and effects of their subsequent modification by TSA molecules were compared with effect of modification of commercial Degussa TiO2 powder. Thorough microstructural characterization of TiO2 nanoparticulates was performed including transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, as well as nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. Optical measurements revealed that all surface-modified TiO2 samples with TSA have similar spectral features independent of their morphological differences, and, more importantly, absorption onset of modified TiO2 samples was found to be red-shifted by 1.0 eV compared to the unmodified ones. The mode of binding between TSA and surface Ti atoms was analyzed by infrared spectroscopy. Finally, the quantum chemical calculations, based on density functional theory, were performed to support optical characterization of surface-modified TiO2 with TSA. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - We have studied processes of gold ion implantation in polyethylene (PE) by theoretical chemistry methods. Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics (CPMD) simulations of collisions and following chemical kinetics considerations lead to the conclusion that chemical bonds between gold atoms and PE chains are formed. We have identified and characterized by a DFT method various stable structures with C-Au, C-Au-C, C-Au-H and C-Au center dot center dot center dot H-2 types of chemical bonds. The binding energies (BE) of C-Au bonds are as high as 227 kJ mol(-1) and the bond analysis reveals a covalent bonding character. For the experimental detection of these structures in gold implanted PE, we predicted characteristic infra-red (IR) frequencies. The C-Au stretching vibrational modes lie around 500 cm(-1). Other characteristic frequencies lie in a band between 730 cm(-1) and 1500 cm(-1).

Also, the formation of composites improved their stability under long run illumination conditions. The effect of AgX content on photocatalytic activity of the composites were also investigated.

AB  - The rod-like Ag2CO3 particles (2-4 3 0.3-0.6 mm, length 3 diameter) were synthesized in water by the precipitation reaction between AgNO3 and NaHCO3 in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the co-existence of monoclinic and hexagonal phases of Ag2CO3, without presence of impurities. The band gap energy of Ag-2 CO3 was found to be 1.4 eV from the diffuse reflectance spectra. Photocatalytic ability of Ag2CO3 was tested using degradation reaction of the organic dye methylene blue over the wide range of concentrations, as well as under long run working conditions in repeated cycles. The photocatalytic mechanism was discussed in terms of the relative energetics of valence and conduction band. Antimicrobial efficiency of Ag-2 CO3 in dark was tested against Gram-negative bacteria E. coli. The Ag2CO3 dispersions in the concentration range 0.1-1.0 mg/mL ensured 100% reduction of bacteria cells. Time-dependent measurements revealed that reduction rates of bacteria cells vary in ascending order with the content of Ag2CO3. On the other hand, the observed reduction rates of bacteria cells do not depend on the concentration of coexisting free Ag+ ions (from 2 to 25 mg/L) present in Ag2CO3 dispersion.

AB  - The biogenic hydroxyapatite (BHAP), obtained by proper treatment of bovine bones, was functionalized with 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA). The coordination of 5-ASA to the surface of BHAP leads to the charge transfer (CT) complex formation accompanied with absorption in visible spectral range. The sorption ability of surface-modified BHAP with 5-ASA (5-ASA/BHAP) for removal of Pb2+ and Cu2+ ions from single-and bi-component solutions was compared with unmodified BHAP. The thorough characterization of both sorbents, BHAP and 5-ASA/BHAP, was performed including X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, as well as diffuse reflection spectroscopy. Sorption kinetics and equilibriums for both ions (Pb2+ and Cu2+) by as-prepared BHAP and 5-ASA/BHAP are quite different. Functionalized sorbent demonstrated faster sorption kinetic and higher maximum sorption capacity for Pb2+ ions from bi-component solutions. From equimolar Pb2+ and Cu2+ mixture with a total concentration of 10-2 mol/L, 66% of Pb2+ was recovered using BHAP, while 97% using 5-ASA/BHAP. These preliminary data indicate potential applicability of properly functionalized hydroxyapatite for selective removal of heavy metal ions from contaminated water.

abstract = "The biogenic hydroxyapatite (BHAP), obtained by proper treatment of bovine bones, was functionalized with 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA). The coordination of 5-ASA to the surface of BHAP leads to the charge transfer (CT) complex formation accompanied with absorption in visible spectral range. The sorption ability of surface-modified BHAP with 5-ASA (5-ASA/BHAP) for removal of Pb2+ and Cu2+ ions from single-and bi-component solutions was compared with unmodified BHAP. The thorough characterization of both sorbents, BHAP and 5-ASA/BHAP, was performed including X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, as well as diffuse reflection spectroscopy. Sorption kinetics and equilibriums for both ions (Pb2+ and Cu2+) by as-prepared BHAP and 5-ASA/BHAP are quite different. Functionalized sorbent demonstrated faster sorption kinetic and higher maximum sorption capacity for Pb2+ ions from bi-component solutions. From equimolar Pb2+ and Cu2+ mixture with a total concentration of 10-2 mol/L, 66% of Pb2+ was recovered using BHAP, while 97% using 5-ASA/BHAP. These preliminary data indicate potential applicability of properly functionalized hydroxyapatite for selective removal of heavy metal ions from contaminated water.",

AB  - Poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) (poly(GMA-co-EGDMA) macroporous copolymer decorated with silver nanoparticles was prepared by a modification of poly(GMA-co-EGDMA) in the reaction with arginine, and consequent reduction of silver ions with amino groups. The mercury intrusion porosimetry, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV-vis reflection spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission measurements were used to characterize obtained composite. The coordination of silver nanoparticles to the poly(GMA-co-EGDMA) copolymer was studied using infrared spectroscopy. Time dependence and concentration dependence of the antimicrobial efficiency of composite were tested against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, and fungus Candida albicans. The composite ensured maximum reduction of both bacteria, while the fungi reduction reached satisfactory 96.8%.

AB  - The simultaneous photocatalytic degradation of two dyes: methylene blue (MB), a cationic dye, and arylazo pyridone dye (SD), an anionic dye was investigated using sol-gel prepared TiO2 particles. The paper shows the main difference in degradation kinetics between single dye solution and binary dye solutions. The effects of competitive adsorption and the concentration of the dyes on degradation rate were analyzed. The preferential adsorption capacity of TiO2 toward MB was attributed to electrostatic interactions between the cationic dye and negatively charged TiO2 surface, while repulsion between the negatively charged surface of the catalyst and SD dye results in its lower adsorption capacity. The TiO2 surface charge and accordingly adsorption affinity of investigated dyes were found to be the main factors affecting degradation rate of the dyes. In the single dye system, the catalyst showed considerably higher degradation activity toward MB than to SD. In binary dye systems, the presence of SD did not affect the degradation of MB. On the other hand, the degradation efficiency of SD was found to be highly influenced by initial MB concentration and absorption ability of MB. In addition, higher MB concentration induces the production of a higher amount of reaction products, which also determine the SD degradation rate. Three kinetic regimes for the photodegradation of SD in binary mixtures were observed, used as a starting point to elucidate most influencing parameters for SD reaction kinetics.

AB  - The synthetic procedures for preparation of free-standing and attached to polymer support surface modified TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with absorption extended into the visible spectral region due to charge transfer complex formation were developed. The one-step synthesis of colloids consisting of surface-modified TiO2 NPs is based on the reaction between titanium(IV) isopropoxide (TTIP) and lauryl galatte in nonprotic organic solvents (tetrahydrofuran, xylol, chloroform). The poly(GMA-co-EGDMA) copolymer decorated with surface-modified TiO2 NPs was obtained in two steps. First, copolymer was functionalized with dopamine and then treated with TTIP in organic solvent at slightly elevated temperature. Thorough microstructural and optical characterization of free-standing and attached to polymer support surface-modified TiO2 NPs was performed involving transmission electron microscopy as well as absorption and reflection spectroscopy. Infrared spectroscopy was used to understand coordination of ligands to surface Ti atoms. Photoredox chemistry of surface-modified TiO2 NPs attached to the polymer support was tested. Enhanced photooxidative ability of composite was demonstrated by degradation of organic dye crystal violet under visible light illumination, i.e., using photons with energy smaller than 2.75 eV. On the other hand, photocatalytic hydrogen production was used to demonstrate photoreduction ability of surface modified TiO2 NPs attached to the polymer support.

AB  - TiO2 powders with different specific surface area were prepared using reproducible, sol gel synthetic route and their ability to form hybrids with catechol and 5-amino salicylic acid was compared with the commercially available Degussa P25 TiO2 powder. Microstructural characterization involving transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms indicated that TiO2 samples cover reasonably wide size and/or specific surface area range (50-115 m(2)/g). The surface modification of TiO2 powders with catechol and 5-amino salicylic acid induced significant shift of absorption to the visible spectral region due to charge transfer complex formation. It should be emphasized that tunable optical properties of TiO2 in powder form have never been reported in the literature. The largest red shift of the absorption onset was observed for sample with the largest specific surface area upon surface modification with both ligands. The binding of the modifier molecules to the surface Ti atoms was studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB  - This study aims to gain insights in structure-activity relationship of TiO2 photocatalysts. For this purpose photocatalysts were synthesized via classical sol-gel method using titanium isopropoxide as a precursor and polyethylene glycols (PEGs) of different molecular mass (M-n = 200, 600, 2000, 10,000) as a template agents. Incorporating PEG into TiO2 network enhanced not only catalyst porous structure, but also increased the fraction of anatase phase. The use of low-molecular-weight PEGs resulted in catalysts with increased anatase content and enlarged specific surface area. The catalyst photoactivity was estimated through degradation of organic pollutants: Reactive Black 5, arylazo pyridone dye and phenol. The results revealed that the photoactivity was following the same order independently of target pollutant: TiO2/P600 GT TiO2/P200 GT TiO2/P2000 GT TiO2/P10000 GT TiO2. BET surface area and anatase fraction, rather than pore diameter or pore volume, were found to be predominant catalyst property determining the activity for particular reaction system. The existence of synergistic effect between anatase and rutile phases was confirmed for the most active catalysts TiO2/P200 and TiO2/P600. These catalysts showed similar activity in dye degradation, while TiO2/P200 displayed significantly lower activity in phenol degradation, which was attributed to its lower sorption capacity and lower UV light utilization. The difference in the reactivity between investigated pollutants was discussed in relationship with their size, structure and sorption ability. (C) 2015 The Society of Powder Technology Japan.

AB  - In this study, an effort has been made to prepare TiO2 materials by sol-gel technique using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as pore directing agent. Different PEG amounts were used during samples preparation in order to investigate the change in intrinsic material properties. The photocatalytic activity of prepared catalysts was estimated by measuring the decomposition of arylazo pyridone dye. The optimum template amount was determined, resulting in catalyst with enhanced textural properties, optimal anatase/rutile ratio and hence improved photocatalytic properties. Specific surface area and anatase/rutile ratio were found to be the main contributing factors to the catalyst activity. A synergistic effect between anatase and rutile TiO2 has been observed, since the presence of relatively inactive rutile phase enhanced the photoactivity of mixed TiO2.

A synergistic effect between anatase and rutile TiO2 has been observed, since the presence of relatively inactive rutile phase enhanced the photoactivity of mixed TiO2.",

AB  - This work is focused on the influence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on
structural, textural and photocatalytic properties of titanium dioxide (TiO2)
catalyst. Catalysts were synthesized by sol-gel method using PEG with
different molecular weight (600 and 10000) as pore generating agent. The
results showed that PEG enhances not only porous structure but also change
anatase to rutile ratio. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized catalyst
was measured by decomposition of phenol. The order of catalyst
photoactivity was: TiO2/P600>TiO2/P10000>TiO2.The difference in catalyst
photoactivity is attributed to their surface area and anatase fraction, rather
then pore size.

AB  - The process of inherent sulfur capture in coal particles during combustion in fluidized bed was modeled. The significance of the process is in fact that a part of sulfur may be retained in ash, decreasing emission of sulfur oxides. The process, which is also known as sulfur self-retention, is influenced by parameters that depend on coal characteristics and combustion conditions. The interest for this process was increased with the introduction of fluidized bed combustion technology because of its favorable temperatures and other conditions. The presented model is based on a model of porous char particles combustion under fluidized bed conditions, and the changing grain size model of sulfation of the CaO grains dispersed throughout the char particle volume. The phenomena of sintering, reduction of the produced CaSO4 with CO and thermal decomposition of the produced CaSO4 were incorporated in the model, allowing for the different reactivities of various forms of calcium. A temperature-dependent relation for the CaO grain radius takes sintering into account. Reductive and thermal decomposition were taken into account by the corresponding reaction rate constants of the Arrhenius type. The reactivity of the calcium forms in coal was considered by different initial radius of the CaO grains. A comprehensive parametric analysis of the model was done. The model was verified by the experimental results for three low-rank Serbian coals. Samples of different particle size (4.0-7.0, 7.0-10.0 and 10.0-13.0 mm) for each coal were combusted under fluidized bed conditions at three temperatures: 750, 800 and 850 degrees C. The maximal values of inherent sulfur capture at 800 degrees C were obtained. The comparison with the experimentally obtained results showed that the model can adequately predict the levels of the obtained values of sulfur self-retention efficiencies, as well as the influence of temperature, coal type and coal particle size.
