Titanium dioxide (TiO\u2082), widely used in cosmetics and industrial products, is often silanized to improve stability and limit the formation of reactive oxygen species. However, new research from the University of Trento and Milano-Bicocca reveals that this treatment actually promotes the generation of singlet oxygen, a highly reactive species. This finding highlights promising applications in sustainable organic synthesis, such as the production of limonene epoxide. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2679,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-innovation"],"acf":{"nome_editor":"Francesco Parrino","area_ricerca":"Fondamenti chimici delle tecnologie","email":"","linkedin":""},"yoast_head":"\nSun protection and nanoparticles: the hidden side of TiO\u2082 -
