Influence of the Structure of Hydrothermal-Synthesized TiO Nanowires Formed by Annealing on the Photocatalytic Reduction of CO in HO Vapor.

The present study investigates the photocatalytic properties of hydrothermally synthesized TiO nanowires (NWs) for CO reduction in HO vapor. It has been demonstrated that TiO NWs, thermally treated at 500-700 °C, demonstrate an almost tenfold higher yield of products compared to the known commercial powder TiO P25. It has been found that the best material is a combination of anatase, TiO-B and rutile.

The Composite TiO-CuO Layers Formed by Electrophoretic Method for CO Gas Photoreduction.

This study demonstrates the ability to control the properties of TiO-CuO composite layers for photocatalytic applications by using a simple electrophoretic deposition method from isopropanol-based suspension. To obtain uniform layers with a controlled composition, the surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate was used, which influenced the electrophoretic mobility of the particles and the morphology of the deposited layers. The TiO-CuO composite layers with different CuO contents (1.

[On the similarity in the effects of different cryopreservation conditions on the growth and development of plants].

The morphological characteristics of 35 wild plant species were studied after freezing of seeds under the conditions of deep, fast, and programmed freezing (-196 degrees C) and non-deep freezing (-10 degrees C). The seeds were stored frozen for a month. The seeds of all the species were characterized by a low humidity.

[Effect of freezing of seeds on the morphological characteristics of four pink species].

The effect of non-deep freezing (-10 degrees C) and deep freezing (-196 degrees C) on the morphological characteristics of four pink species was investigated. It was shown that the growth and development of plants after cryopreservation changed insignificantly. Rather stable characteristics (diameter of flower, the number of cauline nodes, and root length) did not change.

[The investigation of the influence of cryopreservation and inbreeding on the variability of morphological characteristics of the evening-primrose biennial (Oenothera biennis L.)].

The effect of deep freezing of seeds at -196 degrees C (-320.8 degrees Fahrenheit) and inbreeding on the morphological characteristics of the evening-primrose biennal (Oenothera biennis L.), such as the size of plant parts and the amount of fruits, cauline nodes, and generative and vegetative shoots was investigated.
