Combining with the photodegradation activities of TiO 2 on C 7H 16 , it was concluded that the photocatalytic activities of TiO 2 increase with their thresholds increasing,which can be explained using energy band theory. We also investigated the relationship beween the photovoltaic properties and photocatalytic activities of B TiO 2 before and after photooxidation on C 7H 16 , SO 2 and C 7H 16 +SO 2, respectively and found adsorbates at the surface of TiO 2 affect their photocatalytic activities and conduction types of surface layer.展开更多

Recent studies reveal that many nanomaterials possess antibacterial activities. While most of these studies focus on the ability of nanomaterials to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria in vitro, few of them test the effects of nanomaterials on intestinal commensal bacteria. Here, we report that Ti O_2nanoparticles(10, 50 and 100 nm in size) can inhibit the growth of Drosophila intestinal commensal bacteria in vitro. This activity depends on the dosage or size, but is independent of the photocatalytic activity of Ti O_2 nanoparticles. Surprisingly, dietary Ti O_2 nanoparticles of the same dosage fail to display similar effects in Drosophila larvae or adults. These flies show a normal amount of intestinal commensal bacteria, as well as a normal developmental cycle, energy store, and locomotor activity. These results imply that the antibacterial effect of Ti O_2 nanoparticles differs in vitro and in vivo.展开更多
