Therefore, TiO2 particles are perfect candidates in the paint industry. The nanoparticles were mixed with coating solution (i.e. hybrid sol-gel and organosilicate nanoparticles (OSNP) at concentration (1%wt) for both anatase and rutile. Films were prepared by spin coating method which has been studied by the (Electron Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy) (EDS)/ (Scanning Electron Microscope) to define the components of concentrations. Results of Raman Spectroscopy to distinguish between crystalline phases, Raman shift resulted for anatase about (142.1, 411.1, 547.4 and 669.6) cm-1 , rutile (190,272,452 and 616) cm-1 . Additionally, the films were studied the thickness and refractive index (n) by Spectroscopic Ellipsometer(SE) for nano-anatase (1%wt) film thickness (128)nm and n equal (2.25), for nano-rutile films thickness (313.5)nm and n equal (2.5). Profilometer investigated the coating topography to demonstrate the Root Mean Square (RMS) to identify the roughness which increased by increasing particle size. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis showed the strong bonds of the nanoparticles in frequency region between (400-1000) cm-1 corresponds to Ti-O-Ti, also the bands at cm-1 were for a symmetric Si-O-Si stretching and vibration, respectively. Self-cleaning tests on the films were performed using Rhodamine B (RhB) as an antioxidant indicator.","PeriodicalId":43605,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optoelectronic and Biomedical Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67041891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the photocatalytic study was firstly conducted on the photodegradation of rhodamine B (RB) dye in tap water by using TiO2 as photocatalysts under short wavelength (high energy) UV-C light irradiation. The results show that a considerable increase in the degradation of RB can be obtained through a combination of TiO2 and UV-C light. In addition, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was added in the RB solution containing TiO2 to improve the degradation efficiency of RB dyes. The result shows that 98 % degradation efficiency of 20 ppm RB is achieved within 180 min irradiation time in the solution containing 0.5 g/l TiO2 and 1 M H2O2 concentrations, which is higher than the reported literature value.","PeriodicalId":43605,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optoelectronic and Biomedical Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67043509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dopant concentration is stepped as 0, 2%, 5%, 10%, and 20%. For the non doped thin film, XRD analyses exhibit the presence of diffraction peaks corresponding to planes (012), (104), (110), (113), (024), (116), (214), and (300) confirming the formation of α-Fe2O3 phase. While for the Co doped α-Fe2O3 thin films, further diffraction peaks corresponding to α-Fe2O3 phase, peaks matching well with the planes (200) and (311) of cobalt oxides CoO and Co3O4 respectively are observed. Co substitution was confirmed by XRD based on peaks shift of hematite towards higher angles. The crystallite size of the hematite increases from 37nm to 47nm with increasing dopant from 0 to 2wt. % Co/Fe. Then it decreases to 28nm for 20wt. % Co doping. While for cobalt oxides CoO and Co3O4, their crystallite sizes were found to be in the range of 29-32nm and 18-43nm, respectively. The optical investigation indicates an increase in transmittance with increasing the dopant level reaching 80% at 600nm with blue shift in the band gap for the doped samples. FTIR study confirms the existence of the cobalt oxides at wave number average 460-542cm-1 .
