The innovation fits in the scope of the photocatalytic reactor that can be used as waste water purification, synthesis of organic molecules, or the determination of the chemical oxygen demand. A patent application consists of two different designs of photocatalytic reactors and the main advantages of them is high efficiency, low cost and ease of manufacture. Both solutions have a large ratio between the surface of the photocatalyst and the volume of the reactor and allow exploitation electro-photocatalysis, which further improves their efficiency.

COBISS.SI-ID: 28389159Titanates are suitable for many applications such as oxygen sensing and tunable HTS (high temperature superconducting) microwave filters. The potential advantages of the nanostructured forms have been however scarcely explored compared to other oxides. In this work, the structural and electrical properties of individual iron-doped strontium titanate nanotubes (Fe:SrTiO3) grown by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) were assessed for the first time, showing high stability and reproducibility. This result paves the way to further development of more complex titanate-based devices, as for instance nanostructured oxygen STFO sensors. From experimental data, it was concluded that the polycrystalline form of Fe:SrTiO3 nanotubes is the major limitation to attain high photoconductivity gains when exposed to UV-light.
