By comparing pristine and sulfur-doped titania, the study reveals that the doped-titania with anatase phase demonstrates a superior photocatalytic activity than pristine titania with mixed phases, achieving a remarkable 98% degradation of dye within 120 minutes under direct sunlight with a small amount of hydrogen peroxide. This enhanced performance is attributed to the 10.7 μm longer and well-arranged nanotubes, effective surface area, better bandgap of 2.39 eV, effective anatase phases, and a lower 20 nm crystallite size. The study underscores the importance of anodization and sulfur doping using titanium plates to tailor the properties of the resultant nanotubes. Also, it indicates a cost-effective dye removal method without secondary pollution, offering a practical and optimistic solution to environmental challenges. The effective titania nanotubes for photocatalytic application in environmental remediation were identified through field emission scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, and diffuse reflectance analysis, providing valuable insights and inspiring future research and application in this field.","PeriodicalId":48790,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142431498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
