Titanium(IV) oxide, titania, photocatalyst particles were prepared from titanium alkoxide in the presence of several kinds of ionic liquids, and it was clarified that a group of samples exhibited photocatalytic activity for phenol degradation under the irradiation of light of wavelength >400 nm higher than those of the other group of samples. Although the conventional structural analytical results could not be related to the activity,...

Podano przybliżone rozwiązania równań transportu nośników ładunku dla modelu wielokrotnego pułapkowania, odnoszących się do metody czasu przelotu - przy założeniu, że większość nośników znajduje się w stanie termicznej quasi równowagi. Otrzymane rozwiązania zweryfikowano przy pomocy obliczeń metodą Monte Carlo dla wykładniczego i gaussowskiego rozkładu pułapek. Zaproponowano nową metodę wyznaczania profilu energetycznego pułapek...

Extending knowledge of the properties of low-dimensional van der Waals materials, including their reactivity to the ambiance, is important for developing innovative electronic and optoelectronic devices. Transition metal trichalcogenides with tunable optical band gaps and anisotropic conductivity are an emerging class among low- dimensional structures with the possibility of gate tunability and photoreactivity. These properties...

In the present study, alkaline-earth metal scheelite-type compounds ABO4 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba, B = Mo, W) synthesized by a hydrothermal method were systematically studied. The as-obtained photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis (BET), UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DR/UV-Vis), photoluminescence, and thermoluminescence (TL)...
