Gold-decorated titanium dioxide nanoparticles can speed up water desalination (Reference image by Jong Myung Lim, Pxhere). An international research team discovered that it is possible to use titanium dioxide nanoparticles with gold to accelerate the evaporation in desalination plants up to 2.5 times and track hazardous molecules and compounds. In a paper published in the journal ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, the researchers said that the nanoparticles are able to absorb about 96% of the solar spectrum and turn it into heat.  Sign Up for the Suppliers Digest Sign Up According to one of the study authors, Alexander Kuchmizhak from the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, when the material was put through laser ablation in a liquid, the initially crystalline titanium dioxide became completely amorphous and acquired strong and broadband light absorption properties. Decoration and doping of the material with gold nanoclusters additionally facilitated v
