      Excessive utilization of antibiotics in human, animal, and aquaculture poses a substantial threat to human health and the environment. Photoelectrochemical processes are increasingly applied for water remediation because they generate oxidizing species and mineralize organic pollutants, making even small water quantities more amenable for utilization. Thus, this study presents the fabrication of an ...

      The synthesis of TiO2 thin films by the chemical spray pyrolysis method at different titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) to acetylacetone (AcacH) ratios has been shown to lead to the highest photodegradation at 1 (TTIP):8 (AcacH). These films hold promise in the field of indoor pollution treatment. Carbon incorporation into the surface and into the TiO2 lattice could be responsible for the observed ...
