Synthesis and Bactericidal Ability of TiO2 and Ag-TiO2 Prepared by Coprecipitation Method

Preparation of photocatalysts of TiO2 and Ag-TiO2 was carried out by coprecipitation method. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, EDX, and XRF analysis. The disinfection of E. coli, a model indicator organism for the safe water supply, was investigated by u...
