Anatase TiO2 is considered as a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries, but the inherent semiconductor properties and the sluggish Na+ diffusion kinetics limit its further development. To overcome these inherent drawbacks, heterojunction TiO2@TiOF2 constructed with two-dimensional nanosheets is prepared by the hydrothermal method. When heterojunction TiO2@TiOF2 is used as a sodium ion battery material, a stable cycling performance of up to 10 000 cycles can be achieved at a high current density of 5000 mA g−1, probably due to the heterojunction structure, the exposed (0 0 1) facet of TiO2 and the in situ formed NaF protective layer. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further reveal that the heterostructure TiO2@TiOF2 nanosheets possess better electrical conductivity and lower formation energies of Na+ ions than those of the separated TiO2 and TiOF2. This work offers a new strategy to design novel heterojunction structures for the electrochemical sodium storage.

TiO 2 /TiOF 2 heterostructured nanocomposites has been synthesized through a solvothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy, transmission electronic microscopy, nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, UV–vis and photo-luminescent spectroscopy. It was found that, compared with single TiOF 2 or TiO 2 , the as-prepared TiO 2 /TiOF 2 nanocomposites exhibited superior photoactivity towards the degradation of organic pollutants, i.e . rhodamine B and solar hydrogen evolution. The results are in accordance with the prohibition of photogenerated electrons and holes recombination in these two samples under light illumination. The photocatalytic activity can be further boosted by introducing Pd nanoparticles onto the surfaces of TiO 2 /TiOF 2 through a simple deposition method without using any stabilizers, which is probably attributed to the enhanced visible-light absorption as well as the facilitated charge-carrier separation after the introduction of Pd nanoparticles. The synergistic effect between TiOF 2 and TiO 2 was discussed and was responsible for the enhancement of their activity in comparison with single counterpart.

A kind of high-efficiency photocatalyst of the three-dimensional flower-like TiO2/TiOF2 was synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method. XRD, FE-SEM, EDS, HTEM, BET, XPS, PL, and UV-Vis-DRS were utilized to characterize the photocatalyst. The photocatalyst of TiO2/TiOF2 shows a narrow band gap of 2.8 eV. The generation of Ti3+ and an oxygen vacancy (Ov) in the photocatalyst are helpful to increase the absorption of visible light, and to inhibit faster charge recombination by capturing photogenerated carriers. Through the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) under simulated sunlight, the photocatalytic activity and stability of the synthesized samples were investigated. The results showed that the removal rate of tetracycline hydrochloride was 59% only in 0.5 h of dark reaction and 85% in 0.5 h of simulated sunlight. The removal efficiency of the photocatalyst for the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of TCH is higher than that of the single TiO2, TiOF2, and Degussa P25. The synthesized three-dimensional flower-like TiO2/TiOF2 has great application potential in the treatment of antibiotic wastewater.

TiO 2 /TiOF 2 Z-scheme nanosheets have been successfully synthesized for photocatalytic antibacterial. The antibacterial efficiency of TiO 2 /TiOF 2 against E. coli and S. aureus were 99.90 % and 81.89 % at low material concentration (110 μg/mL), respectively, which are higher than those of pure TiO 2 , TiOF 2 , and Degussa P25. In situ molecular spectroscopy results demonstrate that the microstructure of the synthesized material can be reconstructed and optimized to enhance the exposure of the active sites·H 2 O and O 2 are effectively adsorbed on the catalyst surface and activated to form OH…Ti and O…Ti surface active species. Furthermore, the dense interface formed in TiO 2 /TiOF 2 acts as an efficient transport path for photoexcited electrons from TiO 2 to TiOF 2 , and thus accelerates the formation of reactive oxygen species . Finally, the mechanism of bacterial inactivation is systematically discussed considering the main active substances, cell morphological changes, and activity of antioxidant enzymes.
