Scientific results

The main expected results from UTBv team:

• Developing chemical methods of TiHO nanosize powder synthesis by sol-gel method from precursors of titanium isopropoxide (TTIP), ethanol and nitric acid, followed by annealing.

• Theoretical and experimental study of electrochemical reduction and oxidation, targeting a higher photocatalytic activity for pesticides, phenolic compounds and drugs degradation and mineralization under UV and/or solar irradiation.

• Evaluation of the potential of the YHO/TiHO nanopowders in wastewater treatment, photodegradation and mineralization of chemical compounds in water.
