摘要:
In this study, we manufactured metal-doped TiO2 nanoparticles using several transition metals (Mn, Fe, Ni, and Cu). Their physicochemical properties were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffiaction (XRD) analysis, and UV-visible spectra. The energy efficiency of the metals increased in the order of Ni- < Cu- < Mn- < Fe-TiO2. For toxicity testing, zebrafish embryos were exposed to 4 mg L-1 of metal-doped TiO2 nanoparticles. We determined the survival rate (%) and abnormal morphology rate (%) of the exposed embryos and also observed apoptosis and necrosis using confocal microscopy. The metal TiO2 nanoparticles showed acute toxicity in the order of Mn- < Cu- < Ni- <= Fe-TiO2. Although the Fe-TiO2 NPs group demonstrated the highest photocatalytic performance, it also exhibited the highest toxic effects. Among the metals, the Mn-TiO2 NPs group demonstrated improved photocatalysis compared to the other samples except for the Fe-TiO2 NPs along with the lowest toxic effects. For these reasons, the most suitable doping metal was the Mn-TiO2 NPs group considering its energy activity and environmental impacts.
