Photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide nanoparticles produced by methods of high-energy physical dispersion

Аннотация

Photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide nanoparticle samples under study is almost uncorrelated with their phase composition and, in particular, with the content of the anatase phase. The photocatalytic activity depends on the annealing temperature of the nanoparticles. The photocatalytic activity is positively affected by an ultrasonic radiation of the nanoparticles. The highest photocatalytic activity, comparable with that of the AEROXIDE P25 reference nanopowders, is observed for nanoparticles produced by a method of electrical explosion of wires.
