Controlling the excessive oxidation of 1,4-Benzenedimethanol (1,4-BDM) to selectively produce high-value-added 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4-HB) under mild conditions while simultaneously generating H 2 is a challenging problem. In this study, it was found that incorporating Ni into cadmium sulfide (CdS) significantly reduces the bandgap of CdS and adjusts its conduction band position, yet still leads to over-oxidation of 1,4-BDM. To enhance selectivity, we designed and synthesized a bifunctional photocatalyst, CdS-Ti/Ni, with a petal-like structure by integrating both Ni and Ti with CdS. This composite exhibits a bandgap of 2.3 eV, and the synergistic effects of Ti and Ni result in more favorable valence and conduction band positions, thereby demonstrating superior photocatalytic efficiency and selectivity. Within the first 30 minutes, the bifunctional CdS-Ti/Ni achieved a 73 % selectivity for 4-HB. The H 2 evolution rate reached 20.2 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 , which is 13 times higher than that of pure CdS. This study demonstrates that bimetal doping can adjust the energy band structure, photocatalytic H 2 production efficiency and oxidation selectivity of semiconductor materials, offering valuable insights for the design of efficient bifunctional photocatalysts.

Ti-MWW zeotypes, characterized by their unique dual pore architecture consisting of intralayer 10-membered ring (MR) pore channels and additional interlayer 10-MR pore channels that are interconnected to intracrystalline 12-MR supercages, exhibit a remarkably catalytic superiority in the selective oxidation of small and/or linear alkenes with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), surpassing other titanosilicate zeotypes in performance. However, a further improvement on their catalytic performance is still needed for the industrialization of alkene epoxidation over Ti-MWW. In the present work, the introduction of NH 4 + species into Ti-MWW was conducted via a facile but effective treatment of the as-synthesized zeotypes with NH 4 Cl, named N-Ti-MWW. The comprehensive characterization of N-Ti-MWW, derived from NH 4 + -exchanged Ti-MWW, coupled with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, conclusively demonstrates that the integration of NH 4 + into Ti-MWW promotes the generation of -Ti-OOH hydroperoxo intermediates, resulting in a higher catalytic activity in alkene epoxidation in comparison to the parent one. Moreover, the solvolysis of epoxides is significantly suppressed on N-Ti-MWW, enabling the catalyst to display a superior selectivity towards the targeted epoxide, thereby improving its overall catalytic performance. Additionally, N-Ti-MWW is reusable, after the regeneration of the deactivated catalyst simply treated with NH 4 Cl. As a result, it is anticipated that N-Ti-MWW would be applicable in the industrial epoxidation of alkenes with H 2 O 2 .

The conversion of nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) into NH3by photocatalysis under ambient conditions has been considered an environmentally friendly strategy. However, developing effective catalysts for N2fixation is still challenging. Herein, we report a bimetallic JH Fe, Co/TiO2derived from NH2-MIL-125(Ti) by the fast Joule heating (FJH) method for visible–light–driven catalytic N2fixation. It was found that the photocatalytic N2reduction efficiency of bimetallic FC@TiO2-JH was improved, enabling an NH3yield rate of 110.14 µmol g−1h−1without any sacrificial agents. Furthermore, the rate was higher than those of Fe@TiO2-JH and Co@TiO2-JH, suggesting that the synergistic effect between Fe and Co broke the electronic equilibrium and increased the center of its d-band, enhancing electronic feedback to the antibonding π* orbitals of N2while weakening the bonding energy of N≡N. Meanwhile, the rate was about 2.75 times higher than that of FC@TiO2-TF, which was calcined in a tube furnace. It is assumed that FJH might lead to the formation of lattice defects, leading to localized charge deficiency, enhanced carrier separation, and transport. Thus, doping of Fe and Co synergistically interacted with the defects produced from FJH, facilitating the photocatalytic reduction process. As detected, it had a greater ability to separate hole–electron pairs and transferred electrons to adsorbed N2at faster rates. Our work demonstrates a prospective strategy for designing bimetallic catalysts derived from NH2-MIL-125(Ti) for N2fixation.

Ti-6Al-4V alloy powder was prepared through a two-step reduction of a mixture of TiO 2 , V 2 O 5 and Al 2 O 3 in this study. The oxide mixture was first reduced by Mg in MgCl 2 at 750 °C in argon, where oxygen was reduced to 2.47 wt% from 40.02 wt%. The oxygen content in the final powder was eventually reduced to an extremely low level (0.055 wt%) using calcium at 900 °C in argon, and the final powder had the composition of 90.12 wt% Ti, 5.57 wt% Al, and 3.87 wt% V, which meets the standard specification of Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM F1108-09). Between the two reductions, a heat treatment step was designed to help controlling the specific surface area and particle size. The effect of the heat treatment temperature on the morphology, and composition uniformity of the powder was investigated in detail. Heat treatment above 1300 °C attributed to a dense powder with a controlled specific surface area. Thermodynamic modeling and experimental results indicated that only α -Ti enriched with Al and β-Ti enriched with V exist in the final powder, and other possible phases including Al-Mg and Al-V were excluded. This study also offers a triple-step thermochemical process for producing high-purity Ti-based alloy powder.

Al 2 O 3 –cBN has received considerable attention in the field of ceramic cutting tools due to its high hardness, high wear resistance, and low cost, but poor interfacial bonding affects the performance of the composite. In this study, a novel hot-forging process was used to prepare high-performance Al 2 O 3 –cBN composites using Ti(C,N) as a binder. The evolution of the morphology, phase, and microstructure of the hot-forged Al 2 O 3 –Ti(C,N)–cBN composites was determined, and the mechanical properties were measured. The relative density of the composites increases significantly after hot forging, and the deformation of the composites increases with the hot-forging temperature. The highest performing Al 2 O 3 –Ti(C,N)–cBN composite was prepared by hot forging at 1600°C and has a hardness of 20 GPa, a bending strength of 647 MPa and a fracture toughness of 5.37 MPa m 1/2 , which are superior to those of a directly hot-pressed sintered composite. However, at hot-forging temperatures higher than 1700°C, Al 5 O 6 N and TiB 2 are formed in the composite. In the composite hot forged at 1800°C, serrated grain boundaries promote the strength and toughness of the composite to 877 MPa and 6.76 MPa m 1/2 , respectively. Therefore, the novel hot-forging process is expected to enhance material properties.

Abstract The sol-gel approach was utilized to make a copper-doped Ti/SnO 2 -Sb anode for electrochemical oxidation of norfloxacin (NOR). Sycanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), linear scan voltammograms (LSV), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were used to examine the anode’s surface morphology and electrochemical characteristics. The results show that the doped metal makes the anode coating denser and smoother, which is more conducive to resistance to electrochemical corrosion. The electrochemical degradation of NOR utilizing the constructed anode was examined in relation to reaction circumstances such as current density, pH value, and initial NOR concentration. Within the selected range of reaction conditions, the removal rate of NOR using Ti/SnO 2 –Sb–Cu electrode was significantly higher than that of blank electrode. The following were the shifting trends: NOR removal efficiencies grew with applied current density and initial NOR concentration, and reduced with increasing pH value. Water samples with different reaction times were taken and tested by UV-Vis spectrum. As can be seen from the results, with the progress of the reaction, the intensity of the characteristic peak decreased, indicating that NOR is degraded gradually. The electrochemical degradation pathways of NOR were studied using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Six intermediates were detected and a possible reaction pathway for the degradation of NOR by electrochemical oxidation was proposed.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are new porous materials composed of metal centers and organic ligand bridges, which received great attention in the field of photocatalysis. In this work, Ag2CrO4@MIL–125(Ti)–NH2(denoted as AgCr@M125) Z–scheme heterojunctions were synthesized via a simple microemulsion method, by which highly dispersed nano–sized Ag2CrO4can be anchored uniformly on the surfaces of porous MIL–125(Ti)–NH2(denoted as M125). Compared with pure M125 and Ag2CrO4, the as–prepared AgCr@M125 hybrids show significant photocatalytic efficiency against inactivatedStaphylococcus aureus(S. aureus), reaching over 97% inactivation of the bacteria after 15 min of visible light irradiation. Notably, the photocatalytic activity of the obtained 20%AgCr@M125 is about 1.75 times higher than that of AgCr–M125, which was prepared via a traditional precipitation method. The enhanced photocatalytic antibacterial activity of the AgCr@M125 photocatalytic system is strongly ascribed to a direct Z–scheme mechanism, which can be carefully discussed based on energy band positions and time–dependent electron spin response (ESR) experiments. Our work highlights a simple way to enhance the antibacterial effect by coupling with Ag2CrO4and M125 via a microemulsion–assisted strategy and affords an ideal example for developing MOFs–based Z–scheme photocatalysts with excellent photoactivity.Keywords:MIL–125(Ti)–NH2;Ag2CrO4;S. aureus;Z–scheme;microemulsion method

This study reports on the development of highly-efficient Pt/CuO-Fe 2 O 3 /TiO 2 monolithic catalysts for the low-temperature conversion of NO to N 2 via CO-SCR. In this case, ultrathin TiO 2 nanosheet arrays are designed to in situ grow on flexible Ti mesh to provide more spaces/areas for the loading of highly-dispersed Fe 2 O 3 and CuO active components. Furthermore, Pt nanoparticles with an average size of 1.30 nm are effectively decorated on the surface of CuO-Fe 2 O 3 /TiO 2 . The H 2 -TPR and NO-TPD results demonstrate that the excellent synergistic effect between TiO 2 , CuO, Fe 2 O 3 and trace amounts of Pt is conducive to enhance the adsorption of NO and finally promote the CO-SCR. The obtained Pt/CuO-Fe 2 O 3 /TiO 2 catalysts exhibit excellent CO-SCR performance with 100 % NO conversion, and 100 % N 2 selectivity at 250 °C, showing great potential of de-NO x application by using toxic CO as reductant in industry.

Various types of Ti-containing zeolites, i.e., Ti-MWW, TS-1, Ti-MOR, and Ti-BEA, have been evaluated as candidates for the liquid-phase oxidation of cyclohexane using t-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP, 7–8 wt %) as model oxidant. Ti-MWW zeolite displayed the highest activity for cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone (KA oil) with an overall selectivity higher than 90% at 80 °C, making this catalyst a candidate of choice for industrial KA oil production by deperoxidation of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide. The effect of the reaction temperature, reaction time, catalyst amount, and catalyst stability on Ti-MWW was surveyed in detail. The Ti-MWW catalyst showed a stable performance and could be recycled at least four times without detectable Ti leaching and loss of structural stability. The active sites for cyclohexane oxidation appeared to be located near external 12-ring cups in the Ti-MWW framework as suggested by a series of position-selective poisoning tests with tripropyl- and triphenylamine, impelling cyclohexane diffusion within the internal 10-ring channels. EPR experiments supported by DFT calculations suggested the coexistence of both Ti(IV)-OO• (peroxyl) and Ti(IV)-O• (oxyl) species generated through bimolecular pathways, implying simultaneously (SiO)3Ti(OOtBu) species and tBuOOH. The catalytic activity was strongly inhibited in the presence of alkenes, leading to the preferential formation of the epoxidation product with no detectable formation of radicals. Notably, this is the first time that oxyl species have been detected particularly with the help of DFT calculations. Predicted differences of g tensors between peroxyl and oxyl species at various hydration levels in the presence of cyclohexane were consistent with the EPR spectra.

Ti-containing Mobil composition of matter-twenty-two (Ti-MWW) zeolite was prepared via a two-step post-synthesis process and then characterized by X-ray fluorescence, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, Fourier transform infrared absorption spectra, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectra. These results indicate that the textural properties of MWW were well preserved after acid treatment and incorporation of titanium. An adsorptive-oxidative desulfurization (AODS) system was successfully developed on the basis of a model oil containing dibenzothiophene (DBT) with the as-prepared Ti-MWW being the catalyst and adsorbent and cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) being the oxidant. The parameters influencing the desulfurization performance were systematically investigated. These parameters include the Ti-MWW dosage, the reaction temperature, the stirring speed, the molar ratio of CHP to DBT and the additions of olefins and aromatics to the system. The conversion rate of DBT reached 99.6% via the catalytic oxidation process and the turnover frequency was 40.1 h −1 . Meanwhile, the oxidation products of DBT were removed by Ti-MWW adsorption. The recycling and regeneration performance of Ti-MWW were also investigated, and the DBT conversion reached 99.5% using the regenerated Ti-MWW. This work provides useful information for the construction of solvent-free oxidative desulfurization systems using a zeolite.

During the electrochemical preparation process, the electron transport rate in the PbO2 active layer could be greatly increased resulting from reduction in the oxidation of the Ti substrate, which effectively improved the service life and catalytic degradation efficiency of the PbO2 Dimension Stable Anode (PbO2 DSA) electrode. Through adding nano-acetylene black (ACET) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) into the plating solution, an ACET doped Ti/PbO2 electrode was successfully prepared via an anodic oxidation method. Results of field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), diffraction of X-rays (XRD), transmission Electron Microscope(TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterization indicated that 2.10 ∼ 2.75 wt% of ACET doping amount hardly changed the morphology and lattice constant of the PbO2 electrode. With electrochemical alternating current impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV), it confirmed that ACET reduced the charge transfer impedance (Rct) of the PbO2 electrode up to 95%, and restrained the potential of oxygen evolution reaction(OER). With the increase of electron transport rate, the generation rate of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) on the electrode surface was enhanced significantly. Compared with the Ti/PbO2 electrode, the ACET-doped Ti/PbO2 electrode exhibited higher electrocatalytic efficiency to phenol degradation. During the degradation process, the consumption of time and energy could be reduced by 33% and 34%, respectively. At the same current density, the required voltage for preparing the ACET-modified Ti/PbO2 electrode was much lower. In the assistant of lower deposition voltage, the ACET-doped Ti/PbO2 electrode possessed a stronger binding force to Ti substrate, and meanwhile obtained a longer lifespan.

A metal–organic framework material, MIL-125(Ti), was solvothermally prepared and characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and surface area measurements. MIL-125(Ti) was then used as an adsorbent for Rhodamine B (RhB) removal in aqueous solution. The adsorption kinetics, adsorption mechanism, adsorption isotherm, activation energy and various thermodynamic parameters were studied in detail. The maximum adsorption capacity of MIL-125(Ti) for RhB was 59.92 mg g −1 . MIL-125(Ti) appears to be a promising material for RhB adsorption from aqueous solutions.
