Abstract

This work focuses on the photocatalytic performances and antibacterial activity of TiO 2 and Au/TiO 2 nanosystems. While the former are obtained by a sol–gel route, the latter are synthesized by an innovative hybrid RF-sputtering/sol–gel approach, followed by ex situ annealing in air up to 600 °C. Important information on nanoparticle size, shape and distribution is obtained by the combined use of glancing incidence x-ray diffraction (GIXRD) and field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Subsequently, the photocatalytic performances of the obtained nanosystems in the decomposition of the azo-dye Plasmocorinth B and their antibacterial activity in the elimination of Bacillus subtilis are illustrated and discussed in comparison with films obtained from standard Degussa P25 powders. The obtained results show a significant dependence of the functional performances on the system's compositional, structural and morphological properties. In particular, the dispersion of gold nanoparticles on the TiO 2 matrix has a beneficial influence on the azo-dye photodegradation, whereas the antimicrobial activity of Au/TiO 2 films is retarded with respect to pure TiO 2 .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
