Studying the Molecular Structure of Aqueous/Mineral Oxide Interfaces by Vibrational Sum Frequency Generation Spectroscopy and Zeta Potential Measurements
DownloadFall 2021
Water/mineral oxide interfaces are ubiquitous in various atmospheric, geological, biological, and industrial systems. Hence, studying such abundant interfaces is essential for understanding the macroscopic interfacial reactions, such as adsorption/desorption, dissolution, flocculation,...

Synthesis and Applications of Discrete TiO2 Nanotubes in Water Treatment and Superhydrophobic Coatings
DownloadFall 2019
TiO2 as an n-type semiconducting material is one of the most investigated transition metal oxides with a large bandgap of 3.2 eV that is environmentally friendly, chemically stable, biocompatible and have applications in photocatalysis, superhydrophobic coatings, antifouling membranes for water...
