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

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 …

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 …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$-V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ mixed oxides were synthesized with solid-state dispersion (SSD) and coprecipitation methods. In addition, transition metal oxides such as CuO, NiO, and Co$_{3}$O$_{4}$ were successfully loaded on the synthesized catalyst (Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$-V$_{2}$O$_{5}$) using the SSD method. The composite catalysts were inspected for their photocatalytic activities in degrading 2,4-dichlorophenol under UV light enforcement. The produced samples were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, photoluminescence, and the Brunauer-Emmett- Teller method. The addition of transition metal oxides improved the photocatalytic activity of Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$-V$_{2}$O$_{5}$5 (SSD). 1CuO wt% Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$-V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ exhibited the highest percentage of 2,4-dichlorophenol …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry
We prepared novel unsymmetrical A$_{3}$B-type zinc and cobalt phthalocyanines bearing monocarboxylic acid groups on peripheral positions using statistical condensation method, especially designed to anchor on the TiO$_{2}$ semiconductor surface. The novel complexes were anchored on TiO$_{2}$ semiconductor to prepare effective dye sensitized photoactive composites as heterogeneous catalysts. The results indicated that modified TiO$_{2}$ nanocrystals possessed only the anatase phase and MPc-TiO$_{2}$ photocatalysts with loading amount of dye ca. 8.27 $\mu $mol/g TiO$_{2}$ exhibit strong visible light absorption. Photocatalytic degradation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) under illumination with visible light ($\lambda >$ 400 nm) was tested with the composites prepared. The degradation profile …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Graphene/cobalt-manganese oxides nanocomposites were prepared from their precursor through chemical reduction where NaOH was used as a reducing agent. The obtained GNs/Co-Mn nanocomposites were used as photocatalyst for the photodegradation of Neutral Red Chloride (NRC) dye in aqueous solution under sunlight as a function of time and catalyst dosage. The morphology and photodegradation study was carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-VIS spectrophotometry, respectively. The SEM image showed the presence of Co-Mn nanoparticles on the surface of GNs, which were also confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The photodegradation study of NRC showed that the degradation of dye …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Nanosize crystalline TiO_2 and SiO_2/TiO_2 mixed oxide particles as a photocatalyst for rhodamine B dye (RB) degradation in aqueous media were synthesized by a hydrothermal process at 200 °C. They were characterized using XRD, SEM, FT-IR, UV/VIS and BET analysis. The effects of silica content on the crystallinity and photocatalytic activity of TiO_2 were investigated. Photocatalytic activity of the nano-TiO_2 was compared with that of SiO_2/TiO_2 mixed oxides at the same conditions for degradation of RB, and mixed oxide catalysts showed more effective catalytic activity than the TiO_2. The results revealed that photodegradation of RB proceeds by pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics …
