Highly regular TiO 2 nanotube arrays (TNTs) with interstitial nitrogen as the dominant point defect have been successfully prepared by annealing the as-anodized TNTs in N 2 in a temperature range of 400–650 °C. Using analysis methods that include field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction patterns, and Raman spectroscopy, the thermal stability of TNTs annealed in N 2 was found to be higher than that of TNTs annealed in O 2 . The interstitial nitrogen is considered as the dominant point defect in TNTs annealed in N 2 , which results in the notably improved thermal stability of the highly ordered TNTs. However, the content of hydroxyl oxygen on the surface of TNTs is significantly influenced by annealing temperature, which is closely related to photocatalytic activity. Optimized photocatalytic property of photodegradation of MO with a pseudo-first-order reaction constant k value of (5.065 ± 0.139) × 10 –2 h −1 is achieved for TNTs annealed in N 2 at 600 °C. These findings serve to provide simple and versatile guidelines to fabricate highly ordered TNTs with controllable point defects, enhanced thermal stability, and a high level of photocatalytic activity.

Photoactive WO 3 is attractive as a photocatalyst for green energy evolution through water splitting. In the present work, an electrochemical anodic oxidation method was used to fabricate a photo-responsive nanotube array-like WO 3 /W (NA-WO 3 /W) photoanode from W foil as a precursor. Compared with a reference commercial WO 3 /W electrode, the NA-WO 3 /W photoanode exhibited enhanced and stable photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) activity for visible-light-driven water splitting with a typical H 2 /O 2 stoichiometric ratio of 2:1 and quantum efficiency of approximately 5.23% under visible-light irradiation from a light-emitting diode ( λ = 420 nm, 15 mW/cm 2 ). The greatly enhanced PEC performance of the NA-WO 3 /Wphotoanode was attributed to its fast electron–hole separation rate, which resulted from the one-dimensional nanotube array-like structure, high crystallinity of monoclinic WO 3 , and strong interaction between WO 3 and W foil. This work paves the way to a facile route to prepare highly active photoelectrodes for solar light transfer to chemical energy .

In this paper, TiO 2 nanotube (TNT) arrays and (Cu 2 Sn) x /3 Zn 1− x S ( x = 0.75, 0.24, and 0.09) nanocrystals were prepared, and TiO 2 nanotubes (TNTs) were sensitized with (Cu 2 Sn) x /3 Zn 1− x S nanocrystals. Compared with the plain TNTs, (Cu 2 Sn) x /3 Zn 1− x S sensitized TNTs present an enhanced photoelectrochemical response. The photocurrent enhancement was characterized with the photocurrent ratio of (Cu 2 Sn) x /3 Zn 1− x S sensitized TNTs to plain TNTs, which were 1.50, 1.63, and 2.13 for (Cu 2 Sn) x /3 Zn 1− x S with the composition of x = 0.75, 0.24, and 0.09, respectively. To understand this phenomenon, the energy band alignments of TNTs and (Cu 2 Sn) x /3 Zn 1− x S were investigated, based on which the conduction band offsets (CBO) between TNTs and (Cu 2 Sn) x /3 Zn 1− x S were determined, which were 0.31, 0.47, and 0.63 eV for (Cu 2 Sn) x /3 Zn 1− x S with the composition of x = 0.75, 0.24, and 0.09, respectively. These results display that the photocurrent enhancement becomes large with the increase of CBO, which indicates that the enhanced photoelectrochemical response is mainly due to the energy level matching between TNTs and (Cu 2 Sn) x /3 Zn 1− x S, and the variation of enhancement is resulting from the change of CBO.

Cerium has been used as an implanted alloy additive for many years for it can enhance the mechanical properties of the alloy and restrain the corrosion of the implant. Moreover, cerium oxide nanoparticles are often used as an antibacterial material. However, there were few researches focusing on the antibacterial properties of Ce 3+ and Ce 4+ ions, instead of their corresponding oxide, as potential antibacterial coatings. Thus in this work, we loaded Ce ions into the porous structure of the ZIF-8 nanoparticles and co-deposited them with hydroxyapatite as a composite coating onto anodized titanium dioxide nanotubes array in order to test whether it can improve the anti-corrosion and antibacterial properties of the materials without affecting the biocompatibility.
