There are many circumstances where it is necessary or desirable to remove or to kill
microorganisms found on surfaces. In this paper, we present evidence of the photocatalytic …

A detrimental effect on the survival of bacteria Escherichia coli K12 was observed after
photocatalytic exposure. The reactions have been carried out in a batch photoreactor using …

A batch photocatalytic study was carried out to inactivate six different species of bacteria
using fluorescent light and TiO2 photocatalyst. Several surface loadings of TiO2 varying from …

The bactericidal effect of photocatalysis with TiO2 is well recognized, although its mode of
action is still poorly characterized. It may involve oxidation, as illuminated TiO2 generates …

In damp environments, indoor building materials are among the main proliferation
substrates for microorganisms. Photocatalytic coatings, including nanoparticles of TiO2 …

The anatase phase TiO 2 films with nanocrystalline structure were successfully deposited on
a water-floating non-expanded polystyrene (PS) beads via magnetron sputtering. The …

In order to elucidate the mechanism for photokilling of Escherichia coli (E. coli) cells on
titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin film, the survival of intact cells and the spheroplasts was …

When titanium dioxide (TiO2) is irradiated with near-UV light, this semiconductor exhibits
strong bactericidal activity. In this paper, we present the first evidence that the lipid …

This review focuses on the antibacterial activities of visible light-responsive titanium dioxide
(TiO 2) photocatalysts. These photocatalysts have a range of applications including …

The photocatalytic disinfection of Enterobacter cloacae and Enterobacter coli using
microwave (MW), convection hydrothermal (HT) and Degussa P25 titania was investigated …
