The adsorption kinetic study of ruthenium complex, N3, onto nanoporous titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) photoanodes has been carried out by measuring dye uptake in-situ. Three simplified kinetic models including a pseudo first-order equation, pseudo second-order equation and intraparticle diffusion equation were chosen to follow the adsorption process. Kinetic parameters, rate constant, equilibrium adsorption capacities and related coefficient coefficients for each kinetic model were calculated and discussed. It was shown that the adsorption kinetics of N3 dye molecules onto porous $TiO_2$ obeys pseudo second-order kinetics with chemisorption being the rate determining step. Additionally the heterogeneous surface and the pore size distribution of porous $TiO_2$ adsorbents were also discussed.

In this study, the flexural strength, absorption rate, methylene blue photo catalyst decomposition performance and anti-fouling performance were evaluated according to the photo catalyst mixing rate and block surface wash status by applying photo catalyst to the surface layer of concrete sidewalk block. The results showed that the flexural strength of the block that mixed photo catalyst only in the surface layer of the concrete block was 5.32MPa of the general block (SNW) of 5% photo catalyst, compared to 5.46MPa of the non-mixed concrete block of the reference concrete block. Surface washing block (SW) 5.26MPa, 10% photo catalyst general block (SNW) 5.26MPa, and 5.15MPa surface washing block (SW). It has been shown that the presence of surface washing and the mixing rate of photo catalyst in the concrete block have no effect on the flexural strength. Moreover, the photoreaction performance of concrete sidewalk blocks showed that the methylene blue removal rate of specimens with 5% TiO₂ was 34.2%, the methylene blue removal rate of specimens with 10% TiO₂ was 37.1%, and the removal rate of the methylene blue of specimens with 5% TiO₂ was about 37.9% and 10% mixed specimens with TiO₂ was about 37.6%.

New equipment for quantitative and qualitative adsorption of volatile organic compound was set up, and using this equipment, adsorption behaviors of various carbob-based nanomaterials and $TiO_2$ thin films prepared by atomic layer deposition were compared. We could conclud that $TiO_2$ thin films can show higher adsorption capacity of toluene comparing to the carbon-based nanostructures due to higher affinity of the surface OH groups of $TiO_2$ towards toluene adsorption. We also demonstrate that our method allows to discriminate reversible and irreversible adsorptions at a given temperature.

$Ag/TiO_2$ particle was prepared using various ionic liquids by wet impregnation. The properties of the particles were significantly affected by the composition of ionic liquids. This is mainly attributed to different abilities of an ionic liquid to coordinate with the silver particle, leading to various coagulation of silver particles. The catalytic activity of the prepared samples was examined for the aerobic benzyl alcohol oxidation. Among the particles, $Ag/TiO_2$ prepared with 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate showed the best catalytic performance.

In this work, nanoporous $TiO_2$ powder was fabricated using Ketjen black, and applied in photovoltaic device based on the Dye-sensitized Solar Cells (DSCs). $TiO_2$ powder was fabricated using Ti-isopropoxide and 2-propanol by sol-gel combustion method. For added $0{\sim}2g$ variable of Ketjen black, characteristic of porosity, size of particle and crystallite of obtained $TiO_2$ nano powder was investigated. The photovoltaic efficiency of the prepared DSCs was measured using $TiO_2$ film which prepared on each different heat treatment temperature($100^{\circ}C{\sim}600^{\circ}C$) with paste of $TiO_2$ powder. The porosity and size in particle of $TiO_2$ powder made with Ketjen black Ig was influenced significantly effect to DSCs characteristic. Heat treatment at $500^{\circ}C$ makes the better photovoltaic efficiency which around 6.11%($J_{sc}=13.35mA/cm^2$, $V_{oc}=0.73V$, ff=0.63). The sol-gel combustion method was useful to DSCs fabrication.

This paper presents a study on the photocatalytic reaction about the composite particles of $TiO_2$-coated phosphors under visible light irradiation. Nanocrystalline titanium dioxide layers were directly coated on the alkaline earth aluminate phosphor, $CaAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},\;Nd^{3+}$ particles by an sol-gel processing method. The photocatalytic reaction was analyzed with the degradation of methylene blue (MB) aqueous solution under UV and visible light irradiations. $TiO_2$-coated phosphor powders showed different photocatalytic mechanism, compared with pure $TiO_2$ (P-25, Degussa). Under UV-irradiation, $TiO_2$-coated phosphor powders showed slow photocatalytic reactivity in the early stage and fast in the latter, compared with that of pure $TiO_2$. However, $TiO_2$-coated phosphor powders showed much faster photocatalytic reactivity than that of pure $TiO_2$ under visible irradiation. In addition, the characterizations of the $TiO_2$-coated phosphor powders were conducted by a X-ray diffractometer (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

This work explored the characteristics and the photocatalytic activities of S element-doped $TiO_2$ (S-$TiO_2$) and N element-doped $TiO_2$ (N-$TiO_2$) for the decomposition of gas-phase isopropyl alcohol (IPA) at sub-ppm concentrations, using a plug-flow reactor irradiated by 8-W daylight lamp or visible light-emitting-diodes (LEDs). In addition, the generation yield of acetone during photocatalytic processes for IPA at sub-ppm levels was examined. The surface characteristics of prepared S- and N-$TiO_2$ photocatalysts were analyzed to indicate that they could be effectively activated by visible-light irradiation. Regarding both types of photocatalysts, the cleaning efficiency of IPA increased as the air flow rate (AFR) was decreased. The average cleaning efficiency determined via the S-$TiO_2$ system for the AFR of 2.0 L $min^{-1}$ was 39%, whereas it was close to 100% for the AFR of 0.1 L $min^{-1}$. Regarding the N-$TiO_2$ system, the average cleaning efficiency for the AFR of 2.0 L $min^{-1}$ was above 90%, whereas it was still close to 100% for the AFR of 0.1 L $min^{-1}$. In contrast to the cleaning efficiencies of IPA, both types of photocatalysts revealed a decreasing trend in the generation yields of acetone with decreasing the AFR. Consequently, the N-$TiO_2$ system was preferred for cleaning of sub-ppm IPA to S-$TiO_2$ system and should be operated under low AFR conditions to minimize the acetone generation. In addition, 8-W daylight lamp exhibited higher cleaning efficiency of IPA than for visible LEDs.
