Synthesis of TiO2 photocatalysts in supercritical CO2 via a non-hydrolytic route
Article Abstract:
Nanoscaled TiO2 powders with narrow size dispersion are prepared in supercritical carbon dioxide via non-hydrolytic acylation/deacylation of titanium alkoxide precursors with or without tris-fluorination. Calcined TiO2 prepared from titanium(IV) isoprepoxide and trifluoroacetic anhydride is effectively dispersed in aerated supercritical carbon dioxide under stirring and exhibited high photocatalytic oxidation activity.

Ultraviolet light-induced hydrophilicity effect on TiO(sub 2)(110)(1x1): Dominant role of the photooxidation of adsorbed hydrocarbons causing wetting by water droplets
Article Abstract:
The UV photoproduction of a hydrophilic TiO(sub 2)(110)(1x1) surface is investigated in a pressurized ultrahigh vacuum apparatus under controlled conditions of hydrocarbon concentration in oxygen gas at 1 atm pressure. Result show that when low partial pressures of hexane are present, the sudden onset of surface wetting occurs during UV irradiation after an induction period under photooxidation conditions.
