Photocatalytic Activity Against Penicillium Expansum of Ag-doped TiO2/SnO2/SiO2

The effect of 0.1-1 mol%Ag doping on crystallite size, morphology, photocatalytic and fungal growth suppression activities of TiO2/SnO2/SiO2 nanocomposite powders were investigated. The powder was synthesized by sol-gel method and studied for physicochemical properties by XRD, spectrometric techniques, FTIR, SEM, EDX and BET. The anatase structure was formed after calcination at 500℃. Photocatalytic activities towards Penicillium expansum growth suppression correlated to the amount of sliver doped in TiO2/SnO2/SiO2 nano-composite powder under ultraviolet radiation. Ag 1.0mol% doped in TiO2/SiO2/SnO2 composite has a significant effect on antifungal behaviour. It could completely kill Penicillium expansum within one day of photacatalytic treatment under UV irradiation.
