The photocatalytic deactivation of volatile organic compounds and mold fungi using TiO modified with mono- and bimetallic (Pt, Cu, Ag) particles is reported in this study. The mono- and bimetal-modified (Pt, Cu, Ag) titanium(IV) oxide photocatalysts were prepared by chemical reduction method and characterized using XRD, XPS, DR/UV-Vis, BET, and TEM analysis. The effect of incident light, type and content of mono- and bimetallic nanoparticles deposited on titanium(IV) oxide was studied. Photocatalytic activity of as-prepared nanocomposites was examined in the gas phase using LEDs array. High photocatalytic activity of Ag/Pt-TiO and Cu/Pt-TiO in the reaction of toluene degradation resulted from improved efficiency of interfacial charge transfer process, which was consistent with the fluorescence quenching effect revealed by photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra. The photocatalytic deactivation of Penicillium chrysogenum, a pathogenic fungi present in the indoor environment, especially in a damp or water-damaged building using mono- and bimetal-modified (Pt, Cu, Ag) titanium(IV) oxide was evaluated for the first time. TiO modified with mono- and bimetallic NPs of Ag/Pt, Cu, and Ag deposited on TiO exhibited improved fungicidal activity under LEDs illumination than pure TiO .

Article Synopsis
- New methods for enhancing photocatalytic activity are vital for effective water treatment and have significant environmental implications due to their role in chemical manufacturing.
- The study created bio-nanocomposite beads using covalent organic frameworks and titanium(IV) oxide nanoparticles in an Alginate-Carboxymethyl cellulose matrix, showing that this blend is ideal for distributing TiO nanoparticles and reducing bandgap.
- The developed bio-NC beads effectively degrade Methyl violet under UV light, with research indicating that superoxide radicals and electron agents are key players in this process, involving pathways like single oxygen addition and N-de-methylation for decomposition.

A new concept for obtaining cationic complexes with triflate counteranions from coordinating triflato ligands was developed. Various routes are leading to titanium(IV) and titanium(III) triflato complexes efficiently. The reactions of pentafulvene titanium complexes with either triflic acid or silver triflate give the corresponding titanium(IV) triflato complexes in excellent yields.

Plasmonic photocatalysts represented by gold nanoparticle (NP)-loaded titanium(IV) oxide (Au/TiO) can be promising solar-to-fuel converters by virtue of their response to visible-to-near infrared light. Hitherto, Au/rutile (R)-TiO has been recognized as exhibiting photocatalytic activity higher than that of Au/anatase (A)-TiO. Herein, we demonstrate that the high potential of A-TiO as the Au NP support can be brought out through atomic level interface control.

Tin oxide (SnO) has been recognized as one of the beneficial components in the electron transport layer (ETL) of lead-halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) due to its high electron mobility. The SnO-based thin film serves for electron extraction and transport in the device, induced by light absorption at the perovskite layer. The focus of this paper is on the heat treatment of a nanoaggregate layer of single-nanometer-scale SnO particles in combination with another metal-dopant precursor to develop a new process for ETL in PSCs.
