AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines an organic compound (dyad) that includes a donor and acceptor connected by a double bond, with tests conducted at room temperature using TiO2 nanoparticles.
- Time-resolved fluorescence measurements show that when the medium shifts from chloroform to TiO2 nanoparticles, the rate of charge separation in the dyad increases while the rate of charge recombination decreases.
- These findings suggest that integrating the dyad with TiO2 nanoparticles could lead to the creation of effective organic-inorganic nanocomposite systems for light energy conversion applications.
Article Abstract
Steady state and time resolved spectroscopic measurements on an organic dyad, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-methoxy-naphthalen-1-yl)-propenone, where the donor 1-methoxynaphthalene is connected with the acceptor p-chloroacetophenone by an unsaturated olefinic bond, in presence of TiO2 nanoparticles were made at the ambient temperature. Time resolved fluorescence measurements reveal that the rate parameters associated with charge separation, kCS, within the dyad increases whereas charge recombination rate reduces when the surrounding medium is changed from chloroform to TiO2 nanoparticles. The observed results indicate that the dyad being combined with TiO2 nanoparticles may form organic-inorganic nanocomposite systems useful for developing light energy conversion devices.

Pickering emulsions (PEs) have demonstrated significant potential in various fields, including catalysis, biomedical applications, and food science, with notable advancements in wastewater treatment through photocatalysis. This study explores the development and application of TiO-poly(-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) composite gels as a novel framework for photocatalytic wastewater remediation. The research focuses on overcoming challenges associated with conventional nanoparticle-based photocatalytic systems, such as agglomeration and inefficient recovery of particles.

ZnO and TiO nanoparticles (NPs) are widely employed for their antibacterial properties, but their potential environmental impact is raising concerns. This study aimed to assess their single and combined effects at environmentally relevant concentrations (210 μg L) on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) gills microbiota and immune functions. 16S rRNA gene sequencing performed after 5 and 28 days of exposure suggests that TiO NPs had a more immediate impact on bacterial diversity, while prolonged exposure to the mixture altered community composition.
