Charge separation and transfer at the interface between two materials play a significant role
in various atomic-scale processes and energy conversion systems. In this review, we …

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the crucial precursors to the formation of fine
particulate matter and photochemical smog. Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) under vacuum …

In this paper, the synthesis, characterization, and comparative performance of Black-TiO 2
and manganese-doped TiO 2 (Mn-TiO 2) nanoparticles for photocatalytic removal of …

We report the results of systematic ab initio modelling of various configurations of iron and
cobalt impurities embedded in the (110),(101), and (100) surfaces of anatase TiO2, with and …

Introducing new elements into binary transition metal compounds can cause crystal
distortion at the transition metal site. The newly synthesized high-temperature and high …

In this paper, Ti-contained Schiff base complex was intercalated into the interlayer of the
ZnCr layered double hydroxides (LDHs) to form a novel layered organic–inorganic …

Co-doped TiO2 is one of the most extensively studied oxides for applying as dilute magnetic
semiconductors due to its room temperature magnetism. Here we present results of the …

Amorphous a-SiO 2 host-matrices were implanted with Sn-ions with and without posterior
thermal tempering at 900° C for 1 h in ambient air. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy …

Experiments are supplemented with ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations in
order to investigate how the structural, electronic and optical properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) …

A study of ZnO-based ceramic films prepared by the spray-pyrolysis technique is presented.
Pure and Ni-doped thin film samples were deposited as a coating on a glass substrate and …
