Exploring The Photocatalytic And Photodynamic Effects Of Bodipy-Linked Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles, Seda Demi̇rel Topel Dec 2023

Exploring The Photocatalytic And Photodynamic Effects Of Bodipy-Linked Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles, Seda Demi̇rel Topel

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

This study aimed to investigate the photocatalytic and photodynamic actions of a 2,6-diiodinated-BODIPY (2,6-diI2-Bod) photosensitizer (PS) covalently linked to TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs). The TiO2 NPs were synthesized utilizing the hydrothermal technique, yielding an average particle size of 4–5 nm as ascertained by transmission electron microscopy and 6.4 nm as determined by dynamic light scattering measurements. The integration of the nonsoluble Bod PS to TiO2 NPs provided increased dispersibility in physiological media, making it more applicable to photodynamic therapy applications. Bod-TiO2 NPs exhibited moderate efficiency of 56.9% in singlet oxygen generation. Additionally, the photocatalytic behavior of the TiO2 NPs was evaluated …


Surface Modification Of Polypropylene Nonwoven With Chitosan, Tio$_{2}$, And Ag Nanoparticles For The Removal Of Acid Dye From Water, Aminoddin Haji, Mohsen Hadizadeh, Masoumeh Ferdosi Jan 2023

Surface Modification Of Polypropylene Nonwoven With Chitosan, Tio$_{2}$, And Ag Nanoparticles For The Removal Of Acid Dye From Water, Aminoddin Haji, Mohsen Hadizadeh, Masoumeh Ferdosi

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In this study, polypropylene nonwoven was coated with chitosan after being activated by oxygen/argon low-pressure plasma. The chitosan-treated sample (PP-Ch) was coated with TiO$_{2}$ nanoparticles by a pad-dry method. Silver nanoparticles were in situ synthesized on the chitosan-TiO$_{2}$-coated sample by a chemical reduction method. The morphology of each of the samples mentioned above was evaluated by FESEM. The efficiency of each sample in the removal of C.I. Acid Brown 248 from aqueous media was evaluated. The PP-Ch sample removed 90% of the dye at pH=3. Coating the PP-Ch sample with TiO$_{2}$ and silver nanoparticles improved the dye removal efficiency under …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

This study focuses on the modification of natural hydroxyapatite (HAp) derived from clamshell by impregnation with palladium (Pd) at different pH in wet precipitation method to produce photoactive green materials for the degradation of synthetic dyes. It was found that, at pH 10, Pd has been successfully impregnated into HAp lattice with Ca/P ratio of 1.77 and particle distribution size range of 40?470 nm. The impregnation has resulted in the band gap of Pd/HAp at 3.19 eV, as calculated using Tauc?s plot from the UV-Vis spectroscopy data of the Pd/HAp. Next, the photocatalytic activities of Pd/HAp were carried out with …
