    Self-cleaning TiO2 nanoparticle-coated PET fabrics: hydrophobicity and photocatalytic performance

    Özdemir, Agah Oktay

    In this study, PET fabric surfaces were modified with TiO2 nanoparticles, synthesized through the one-step hydrolysis of TiCl4. The fabrics were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Water contact angles (WCA) of both pure PET and TiO2-coated PET fabrics were measured, revealing that hydrophobicity increased as the TiO2 concentration increased. The photocatalytic performance of the modified fabrics was assessed by studying the degradation of Crystal Violet (CV) dye under UVA irradiation. To further quantify photocatalytic activity, the Apparent Quantum Yield (AQY) values were calculated based on dye degradation and photon flux under UVA light (365 nm, 0.098 W/cm2). AQY values ranged from 0.24% to 0.99%, depending on TiO2 loading and initial dye concentration. Reactive species trapping experiments were conducted to propose a mechanism for the photodegradation of CV on TiO2-coated PET fabric. The degradation followed second-order kinetics. A mechanism for the photodegradation process under UVA light was also proposed. In conclusion, this study offers valuable insights into producing self-cleaning, hydrophobic, and photocatalytically active TiO2-coated PET fabrics, contributing to the development of functional textiles for various applications.

    In this study, we prepared a series of ZnS/graphitic-C3N4 nanocomposites in various mass percentages and morphological properties of all the nanocomposites were examined by utilizing SEM/EDX technique. The photocatalytic performances of ZnS/graphitic-C3N4 nanocomposites were evaluated by degradation of Rhodamine B molecules under visible light. The photocatalytic performances of all nanocomposites under various photocatalyst dosages and initial Rhodamine B concentrations were further investigated for determination of optimal conditions.the obtained results indicated that ZnS/graphitic-C3N4 nanocomposites show almost 2 times higher photocatalaytic performances than pure graphitic-C3N4 and ZnS nanoparticles. The scavenger studies showed that the superoxide radicals had a major role in the photodegradation and the photodegradation of Rhodamine B follows the pseudo-first-order kinetic.

    Özdemir, Agah Oktay; Caglar, Bulent; Çubuk, Osman; Coldur, Fatih; Kuzucu, Mehmet; Guner, Eda Keles; Doğan, Bilge; Caglar, Sema; Özdokur, Kemal Volkan

    TiO2 nanoparticles-coated cotton fabric was readily prepared by the hydrolysis of TiCl4 solution over cotton fabric and characterized various techniques in comparison with pristine cotton fabric. Initially, the photocatalytic application of the obtained fabric was carried out by using it as a catalyst for the photodegradation of rhodamine B. A higher degradation ratio for rhodamine B in the presence of TiO2-coated cotton fabric as photocatalyst was observed under visible light compared to the one performed under UVA. The reactive species trapping experiments revealed that the superoxide radicals played a major role than other radical species and two different degradation mechanisms were proposed according the trapping results. Subsequently, considering that the fabricated TiO2-coated cotton fabric is a very suitable sensor material for the development of a wearable flexible pH sensor, a potentiometric solid state pH sensor prototype was constructed and tested for pH measurements. The proposed prototype exhibited a linear potentiometric response in the pH range from 2.0 to 9.0 with a slope of −23.9 mV/decade. The pH accuracies (as relative error %) calculated for the current electrode with respect to the commercial electrode in the studied buffer solutions were ranged between −1.8% and 1.9%. The presently proposed pH electrode allowed pH measurements highly coherent with commercially available pH electrode. Finally, the antibacterial activity of the TiO2 nanoparticles was evaluated by minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) testing and also antibacterial property of the TiO2 nanoparticles-coated cotton fabric was demonstrated by GB/T 20944.3–2008 method using Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) as representative strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, respectively. This study would be indicative to design of nano metal oxide-coated cotton fabrics in the application of photocatalyst, pH sensor and antibacterial agent against bacteria.

    Kaolin yüzeyine perovskit yapılı $BiFeO_3$ (BFO) nanoparçacıklarının yerleştirilmesiyle kaolin-$BiFeO_3$ (KBFO) nanokompoziti hazırlandı. Saf kaolin (K), saf BFO ve hazırlanan KBFO nanokompozitin fotokatalitik aktiviteleri UVA ve görünür bölge ışımaları altında katyonik bir boyar madde olan kristal viyole (KV)’nin fotokatalitik bozunması incelenerek değerlendirildi. KBFO nanokompozitinin diğer katalizörlere nispeten daha yüksek fotokatalitik aktivite sergilediği ve fotobozunmanın yalancı birinci dereceden kinetik izlediği belirlendi. Ayrıca pH, başlangıç boya konsantrasyonu ve katalizör miktarı gibi deneysel parametrelerin fotokataliz reaksiyonuna etkileri incelenerek en uygun değerleri tespit edildi. pH 9’da $10mgL^{-1}$ başlangıç boya konsantrasyonunda ve 100 mg katalizör varlığında KV’nin KBFO katalizörü üzerindeki fotokatalitik bozunma verimleri UVA ve GB ışınları altında sırasıyla %84 ve %89 olarak belirlendi. KV'nin KBFO nanokompozit üzerindeki fotokatalitik bozunmasından sorumlu olan reaktif türlerinin katkısını belirlemek için radikal süpürücü deneyler yapıldı ve olası mekanizma önerildi. Yapılan radikal süpürücü deneylerine göre hidroksil radikallerinin KV’nin fotokatalitik bozunmasında başlıca role sahip olduğu tespit edildi.

    In this study, we prepared bentonite-Bi2S3 nanocomposite via decoration of Bi2S3 nanorods on bentonite for the first time to enhance the photocatalytic performance of Bi2S3 nanorods under visible light irradiation. XRD, TEM, SEM-EDX, XPS, UV-DRS, PL, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, chronoamperometry, zeta potential, and BET techniques were used to compare analysis of structural, morphological, optical, electrochemical and textural properties of raw bentonite, bare Bi2S3 nanorods and bentonite-Bi2S3 nanocomposite. The photocatalytic performances of bentonite-Bi2S3 nanocomposite and bare samples were also investigated and comparatively evaluated by photodegradations of crystal violet and rhodamine B dyes under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic degradation efficiencies of fabricated bentonite-Bi2S3 nanocomposite for crystal violet and rhodamine B were determined as 100% and 85% after the periods of 30 min and 90 min, respectively, which were more superior compared with those of bare Bi2S3 nanorods. The enhanced photodegradation activity of bentonite-Bi2S3 nanocomposite was assigned to the good visible light absorption ability, enlarged surface area, increased adsorption capability and decreased aggregation of Bi2S3 nanorods with the inclusion of bentonite platform as well as suppressed hole-electron recombination process due to electrostatic interaction between negatively charged bentonite surface and positively charged holes. The reactive species trapping revealed that hydroxyl radicals played a major role on the photodegradation and a plausible mechanism for photodegradation of dye molecules on bentonite-Bi2S3 nanocomposite was suggested. The photodegradation of dyes was found to follow the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The prepared photocatalyst exhibited good reusability and stability after 4 cycles.

    Herein, we synthesized ferromagnetic BiFeO3 nanoparticles with sizes of 20–60 nm and rhombohedral distorted perovskite structure without any co-formed impurity phases by sol-gel method. Structural, morphological, magnetic, electronic and textural properties of BiFeO3 nanoparticles were characterized by using XRD, SEM-EDX, TEM, FTIR, XPS, VSM, UV-DRS, PL and BET techniques. The peroxidase was isolated from the Cress (Lepidium sativum) and purified by using precipitation of ammonium sulfate and chromatographic techniques; gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography which is showed wide range of thermal stability, maximum activity in the acidic environment and close to the body temperature. Afterwards, a novel amperometric biosensor based on Cress peroxidase entrapped on BiFeO3 nanoparticles modified carbon paste electrode was prepared for the first time to sensitive detection of H2O2. The prepared H2O2 biosensor was operated with the aid of choro-amperometry technique by applying −0.8 V vs Ag/AgCl electrode. The developed biosensor exhibited a linear response towards to H2O2 in the concentration range of 2.0 10−7 to 1.0 10−5 M under the optimal conditions and limit of detection and quantification were estimated as 7.0 10−8 M (2.7 μg L−1) and 2.0 10−7 M (8.7 μg L−1), respectively. The repeatability of the electrode was calculated as 19.2 for 2.0 10−7 M (N = 7) and the accuracy was 81.2% for this concentration. In addition, the H2O2 biosensor exhibited excellent stability up to ten days. Finally, the sensor developed was used for the analysis of H2O2 in milk samples and satisfactory recoveries were obtained under the operating conditions.

    To improve the photocatalytic performance and solve the aggregation problem of BiFeO3 nanoparticles, kaolinite-BiFeO3 photocatalyst was successfully prepared for the first time by decoration of ferromagnetic BiFeO3 nanoparticles onto kaolinite surface. Comparative characteristics of kaolinite, bare BiFeO3 and kaolinite-BiFeO3 photocatalyst were investigated in detail by XRD, TEM, SEM-EDX, XPS, FTIR, VSM, UV-DRS, PL, zeta potential and BET techniques. The photocatalytic activities of the samples were also evaluated by photodegradation of rhodamine B as a model reaction under different irradiations like UVA, visible and sunlight. The kaolinite-BiFeO3 exhibited more superior photocatalytic activity as compared with other samples, which is best fitted to pseudo-first-order kinetic. The reactive species trapping experiments indicated that photogenerated-holes play major roles in the degradation process whereas superoxide radicals possess a secondary effect. Enhanced photocatalytic activity of kaolinite-BiFeO3 is attributed to its kaolinite platform that reduces the recombination opportunities of the photogenerated holes and electrons as well as increases the surface area, decreases the particle size and aggregation of nanoparticles. In addition, we also designed a novel electrocatalytic platform based on gold nanoparticles loaded on kaolinite-BiFeO3 modified carbon paste electrode surface for the examination of electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline medium. Electrochemical characterizations of the Au/BiFeO3/kaolinite modified carbon paste electrode and other bare surfaces were comparatively carried out with the aid of cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and chronoamperometry. Au/BiFeO3/kaolinite modified carbon paste electrode exhibited 15-fold current enhancement together with 100 mV anodic potential shift compared with bare carbon paste electrode.
