Tracing titanium dioxide nanoparticles in the environment

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles are one of the most commonly produces nanomaterials worldwide. After use, a large proportion of TiO2 ends up in the agricultural soils which can be a potential environmental problem.

New article by Toybou et al. in Environmental Science : Nano

Fabrication of silver nanowires (AgNWs) with fine and independent control of both the diameter (from 30 to 120 nm) and length (from 5 to 120 μm) by concomitant addition of co-nucleants and temperature control is demonstrated, and used for the preparation of size standards. Percolating random networks were fabricated using these standards and their optoelectronic properties were measured and compared with regard to the nanowire dimensions.
