Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiONPs) are widely used in agriculture in order to increase the yield and growth characteristics of plants. This study investigated the effects of TiONPs on photosynthetic pigments and several biochemical activities and antioxidant enzymes of the plant. Different concentrations of nanoparticles (0, 200, 400, 600 and 800 ppm) at five levels were sprayed on plants on the 30th day of the experiment. TiONPs at different concentrations had positive effects on root and shoot dry weight and a negative effect on leaf dry weight. The amount of chlorophyll increased with the concentration of TiONPs; however, the amount of chlorophyll showed a decreasing trend while the total chlorophyll had a constant trend. The highest amount of soluble sugar was obtained in the treatment of 200 ppm nanoparticles. The application of TiONPs did not have any effect on the content of proline and soluble proteins of plant. The effects of foliar TiONPs, compared to the control, showed a significant increase in the activity of antioxidant enzymes. In general, TiONPs had a favorable effect on dry matter production and some antioxidant and biochemical properties of the plant.

Phthalocyanine-sensitized TiO significantly enhances photocatalytic performance, but the method of phthalocyanine immobilization also plays a crucial role in its performance. In order to investigate the effect of the binding strategy of phthalocyanine and TiO on photocatalytic performance, a dual-pathway study has been conducted. On the one hand, zinc-tetra (-carbonylacrylic) aminephthalocyanine (Pc) was directly grafted onto the surface of FeO@SiO@TiO (FST).

The concept of using polyaniline/titanium dioxide heterostructures as efficient photocatalysts is based on the synergistic effect of conducting polymer and metal oxide semiconductors. Due to inconclusive literature reports, the effect of different polyaniline/TiO ratios on photocatalytic activity under UV and visible light was investigated. In most papers, non-recommended dyes are used as model compounds to evaluate visible light activity.

Exosomes have emerged as a powerful biomarker for early cancer diagnosis, however, accurately detecting cancer-derived exosomes in biofluids remains a crucial challenge. In this study, we present a novel label-free electrochemical biosensor utilizing titanium dioxide nanotube array films (TiONTAs) for the sensitive detection of exosomes in complex biological samples. This innovative biosensor takes advantage of the excellent electrochemical properties of TiONTAs and their specific interactions with the phosphate groups of exosomes.
