In the present work, 2.4 nm gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are uniformly dispersed on mesoporous titania thin films which are structurally tuned by controlling the calcination temperature. The gold content of the catalyst is as high as 27.8 wt %. To our knowledge, such a high loading of Au NPs with good dispersity has not been reported until now. Furthermore, the reaction rate of the gold particles is enhanced by one order of magnitude when supported on mesoporous titania compared to non-porous titania. This significant improvement can be explained by an increase in the diffusivity of the substrate due to the presence of mesopores, the resistance to agglomeration, and improved oxygen activation.

This work examines the photocatalytic capacity of FeO-TiO catalysts for inactivating Enterococcus faecalis in water and compares it to a peroxide-assisted process. The influence of HO, PMS, pH, and temperature is assessed. Material stability and free radical species involved in disinfection are also evaluated.

Article Synopsis
- Mesoporous titania thin films have potential applications in various fields such as sensors, batteries, and solar cells, but traditional methods of creating these films often require high temperatures that can damage the structures.
- A new approach using UV irradiation is presented as a low-temperature, energy-efficient alternative that achieves comparable crystallinity and size to conventional methods, without the drawbacks of high-temperature calcination.
- This UV method allows for the creation of diverse film morphologies and maintains consistent optical properties, demonstrating its adaptability with different titanium precursors for thin film fabrication.

Chirality is a vital property across various domains, especially for biological activity. Herein, an enzyme-free sensing platform for monosaccharide enantiomer identification was developed by utilizing the Fabry-Pérot interferometer feature of TiO nanotube arrays modified with enantioselective metal-organic framework and glucose oxidase-mimicking Au NPs. In this design, optical property is monitored by reflective interferometric Fourier transform spectroscopy (RIFTS), a highly sensitive technique for detecting changes in the average refractive index within nanotubular structures.
