Can I read Photocatalytic microbial inactivation over Pd doped SnO2 and TiO2 thin films on EtoBox?
Photocatalytic microbial inactivation over Pd doped SnO2 and TiO2 thin films by Arcan Erkan; Ufuk Bakir; Gurkan Karakas is a Materials Science article available to read on EtoBox.
What is Photocatalytic microbial inactivation over Pd doped SnO2 and TiO2 thin films about?
The photocatalytic antimicrobial activity over TiO 2 , SnO 2 and their Pd doped thin film samples were determined against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aereus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aspergilus niger spores. Higher antimicrobial activity was observed with TiO 2 than SnO 2 thin films and, Pd addition contributes to an increase in the activity of both semiconductor oxides. The highest microbial inactivation was achieved with 1% PdO/TiO 2 against E. coli with a 98% decrease in survival after 2 h illumination. SnO 2 was found to show lower photocatalytic efficiency against E. coli with a 56% decrease in survival after 2 h illumination and a 68% decrease in survival of E. coli after palladium addition. E. coli showed the least and S. cerevisiae showed the highest resistance against photocatalytic inactivation and, A. niger spores could not be inactivated up to 8 h illumination over all the surfaces. The antimicrobial efficiencies against different microorganisms and fungal spores were found to decrease in the following order: E. coli > S. aereus > S. cerevisiae > A. niger spores for which, complexity and strength of the cell walls increased in the same order.
