A New Synthesis of the Chemical Compound TiO2−x(C2N3)2x nanoparticules

Dr. Khadijah Muhammad Kutbi gave a lecture on the Synthesis of the Chemical Compound TiO2−x(C2N3)2x nanoparticles in the Chemistry Department (Female Section). It was attended and appreciated by the staff of the Department on Sunday, 9/3/1437 AH, 10 a.m.

Abstract

This project has focused on the preparation of Nano metric chemical substances with the ability to absorb light to be used in various applications such as control pollution risks and treatment of environmental pollution, water and air pollution, and sewage. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) was chosen for this purpose because it is non-toxic, available, and inexpensive and has the ability to remove inorganic pollutants. It was prepared successfully by using a simple new way. Due to its drawbacks (i.e., TiO2 can absorb only the UV radiation), TiO2 has been modified by combining it with other compounds containing the Nitrogen Element (N). Therefore, there is a possibility to have new compounds that can absorb light. In the case of modifying TiO2 by using Nitrogen compounds, some compounds have been prepared, including TiO2−x(C2N3)2x.
