Fascinatingly, the surface Plasmon resonance, the major cause for the absorption, may be affected by surface modification with covalent coupling thereby increasing their size (Sheetal et al. 2008).
The investigation aimed at improving the light fastness of the TiO2 particles by surface modification with P2O5 and optimizing its content for best performance.
Functionalized hollow siliceous spheres (HSSs) have been prepared by surface modification with trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Superhydrophobic oil sorbent was prepared by coating raw kapok fibers with titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, followed by surface modification with 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyl-triethoxysilane (PTES).
Here we report a novel TiO2 nanotube array film synthesized by anodization followed by surface modification with nitrogen (N) doped TiO2 nanoparticles using a solvothermal method.
Cycling performance and thermal stability of spinel LiMn2O4 cathode material synthesized by a sol gel method are improved by surface modification with FeF3 through chemical deposition method.
Herein, in order to facilitate the loading and intracellular tracking of ASODNs, f-HNTs were obtained by surface modification with γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane [APTES], and fluorescein [FAM] was used to bind to ASODNs as fluorescent labeling.
In most cases, the synthetic processes either involve the use of borohydride, hydrazine, citrate, etc. or require rather complex procedures or rigorous conditions, followed by surface modification with some protecting ligands like thiols and oleic acid.
Experimental results show that the flow properties of sand slurries at high volume fractions of sand (>50%) can be significantly enhanced by adding nanoparticles, and by surface modification with polymer/surfactant mixtures.
However, the hydrogen generation rate was highly enhanced by surface modification with Pt, Rh or Au, which was assessed by photocathodic current over N-Ta2O5 films under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 410 nm).
