Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Inverse Effects of Lanthanide Co-Doping on the Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production and Dye Degradation Activities of Cu Doped Sol-Gel Tio<sub>2</Sub>(Elsevier, 2023) Yurtsever, Husnu Arda; Erzin, Kubilay; Ciftcioglu, Muhsin; Yurtsever, Hüsnü Arda; Erzin, Kubilay; Çiftçioğlu, MuhsinCopper doped and lanthanide-copper co-doped titania powders were prepared by sol-gel technique and the effects of co-doping on the photocatalytic reduction and oxidation activities of titania were investigated in this work. Characterization studies indicated that a reduced structure was formed due to the presence of Ti3+ species in copper doped titania powder and a more stable structure was formed when lanthanides were used as co-dopants. Copper doped powder had a significantly higher activity in photocatalytic hydrogen production (1037 mu mol/g/h) than the co-doped powders (similar to 400 mu mol/g/h). The oxidation activities of co-doped powders however were determined to be about 2 times higher than that of the copper doped powder. The decrease in the reduction activity was attributed to the decrease in the number of Ti3+ sites, whereas the increase in oxidation activity was probably a result of the increase in the surface area and dye adsorption due to lanthanide co-doping.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 11Controlled Surface Mineralization of Metal Oxides on Nanofibers†(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015) Horzum Polat, Nesrin; Mari, Margherita; Wagner, Manfred; Fortunato, Giuseppino; Popa, Ana-Maria; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Landfester, Katharina; Crespy, Daniel; Mu˜noz-Espi, RafaelWe report a versatile approach for the preparation of metal oxide/polymer hybrid nanofibers by in situ formation of metal oxide nanoparticles on surface-functionalized polymer fibers. Poly (styrene-covinylphosphonic acid) fibers were produced by electrospinning and used as supports for the in situ formation of ceria nanocrystals without further thermal treatment. The crystallization of ceria was induced by the addition of an alkaline solution to fibers loaded with the corresponding precursor. The formation of the inorganic material at the fiber surface was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The extension of the approach to prepare polymer/titania hybrid nanofibers demonstrates its versatility.
