Synthesis of TiO2 Nanoparticles by Sol-gel Method and Their Characterization, Photodegradation of doxycycline in water induced by TiO2

This project focuses on creating titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles using the sol-gel method, studying their properties, and using them to break down doxycycline, an antibiotic, in water. It addresses water pollution, a key issue in Canada, by developing affordable and effective ways to remove harmful pharmaceutical pollutants. TiO2 is a powerful material for cleaning water, and this research provides valuable insights into how it works, helping Canada tackle pharmaceutical contamination while supporting its sustainability goals. The findings can also boost research in nanotechnology and environmental science, leading to innovative solutions. Finally, the project encourages collaboration between Vietnam and Canada, sharing knowledge and techniques to address global water pollution challenges.
