Titania nanotubes with aminated reduced graphene oxide as efficient photocatalysts for antibacterial application under visible light

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: Feb. 19, 2025

Titania and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) are well-known materials with excellent photocatalytic properties, but research on the photocatalytic-based antibacterial effects of their combination remains limited. This study explored suitability titania nanotubes (TiO2 NTs) combined rGO two terminal functional groups (nonfunctional aminated (NH2)) as efficient photocatalysts for antimicrobial applications under visible light irradiation. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy observations revealed that covered entire surface TiO2 NTs. Tauc plots calculated from spectra diffuse reflectance spectroscopy showed band gaps nonfunctional amine rGO-coated NTs were 2.40 2.21 eV, respectively. Therefore, all exhibited activity 470 nm An colony forming unit test using S. aureus P. aeruginosa, enzymatic tests (superoxide dismutase catalase) same bacteria, visible-light irradiation compared to uncoated groups. In addition, MTT assay enhanced cell viability after visible-light-triggered has significant potential expressing properties in dental applications.

ConspectusThe conversion of solar energy into chemical is promising to address and environmental crises. For processes, such as photocatalysis photoelectrocatalysis, a deep understanding the separation photogenerated charges pivotal for advancing material design efficiency enhancement in conversion. Formation heterophase junction an efficient strategy improve charge photo(electro)catalysts processes. A formed at interface between semiconductors possessing same composition with similar crystalline phase structures but slightly different bands. Despite small offset Fermi levels phases, built-in electric field established junction, which can be driving force nanometer scale. Notably, slight variations band two phases result barriers carrier transfer. Moreover, structural similarity semiconductor could minimize lattice mismatch distinguishing it from p/n or heterojunction very semiconductors.This Account provides overview understanding, design, application junctions photoelectrocatalysis. It begins conceptualization reviews recent advances synthesis junction. The transformation method advantage forming atomically matched secondary seed growth unique excellent electronic optoelectronic properties are described. Furthermore, mechanism improving discussed, followed by comprehensive discussion structure-activity relationship home-built spatially resolved time-resolved spectroscopies offer direct imaging across then detection transfer driven field. Such interfacial results improvement separation, higher yield long-lived charges, thus inhibition recombination. Benefiting these insights, strategies precise tuning alignment, exposed amounts, structure, have been developed. Finally, challenges, opportunities, perspectives advanced photo(electro)catalyst systems will discussed.
