The elimination of Pb2+ and recovery of lead metal during the treatment of industrial sewage is an important research topic. Montmorillonite (Mnt) is a promising material in this regard. The purpose of the present study was to improve the Pb2+ adsorption ability of Na-containing Mnt (Na-Mnt) by pillaring titania (anatase) into its interlayer spaces using a sol-gel method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The ratio of Ti to Mnt affected the crystal phase of titania-pillared Na-Mnt (Ti-Mnt), and changed the interlayer spacing of the (001) plane of Ti-Mnt and the growth of anatase. The Pb2+-adsorption capabilities of Ti-Mnt were tested using an aqueous solution of lead nitrate as a wastewater model. The Ti-Mnt prepared adsorbed >99.99% of the Pb2+; leached and activated Ti-Mnt adsorbed >95.7% of the Pb2+, indicating that Ti-Mnt could be recycled effectively. Furthermore, the Pb2+-adsorption capability of Ti- Mnt was related to the interlayer spacing of Mnt, the distribution of anatase particles pillared in Mnt, and the specific surface area, especially with respect to the relationship between the anatase particles and the interlayer spacing of the (001) plane.

Fluorine-containing fluoroquinolones are cumulative toxins and pose a grave threat to health of animals and human beings, and an effective and feasible strategy to the defluorination by breaking C-F bond to decrease toxicity is in an urgent requirement. Herein, Ti(III)-laden TiO 2 nanotube arrays (RTNA) were deliberately fabricated for electrochemical degradation and defluorination of levofloxacin (LVF). Characterizations verified that Ti(III) and oxygen vacancies were generated on RTNA via electrochemical reduction of TiO 2 nanotube arrays (TNA). The degradation kinetics of LVF on RTNA (0.85 h −1 ) was increased by about 15 times as compared with that on TNA (0.06 h −1 ); the corresponding degradation and defluorination efficiencies by RTNA were also dramatically increased. Moreover, the effect of electrolyte on the defluorination efficiency suggests the significant role of sulfate; that is, abundant sulfate radical (SO 4 -• ) was generated in the media of sodium sulfate during the electrochemical oxidation process , and it served as the dominant radical to break C-F bond for the defluorination of LVF, whereas it is not the case for hydroxyl radical (•OH) in sodium carbonate. The pathways and mechanisms of degradation and defluorination in electrolyte of sodium sulfate or carbonate were proposed and further confirmed the difference in the electrolyte-dependent degradation mechanisms.

The solvothermal reaction of titanium isopropoxide and chromate in the presence of benzoate produced two novel host–guest clusters encapsulating Cs+ or H3O+, (H3O)@Ti7Cr14 and Cs@Ti7Cr14. The most remarkable feature is that the Ti7O7 ring is concentrically embraced by a Cr14O14 ring to form a rigid Ti7Cr14 host. ESI-MS and 133Cs NMR revealed that the overall framework structures are preserved, whereas the benzoate ligands on the two clusters may be labile in solutions. Both (H3O)@Ti7Cr14 and Cs@Ti7Cr14 exhibit good UV–vis light-responsive properties and photocatalytic activities, with absorption edges extending up to 780 nm. Cs@Ti7Cr14 is an effective visible-light-responsive photocatalyst in both the heterogeneous methylene dye degradation and homogeneous CO2 cycloaddition reaction under mild conditions like room temperature and 1 bar of CO2. According to the mechanism studies, Cs+, as a rigid guest, can significantly improve the photogenerated charge separation efficiency of the Ti7Cr14 host, thereby improving its interface charge separation properties, photocurrent, and photocatalytic activities. Our findings not only provide new members of heterometallic titanium oxide clusters to enrich the metal oxide cluster family but also open up new possibilities for their photoresponses, which may play an important role in solar energy harvesting for sustainable chemistry.

The expected excellent lubricant effect of graphene in metals during friction and wear is rarely achieved because of the difficulty in synthesizing suitable interfaces. Particularly, the situation is more challenging in titanium (Ti) matrix composites (TMCs) because of the high chemical-interface-reaction tendency between graphene and Ti during composite fabrication. In this study, few-layered graphene (FLG) decorated with SiC nanoparticles (SiCp) was synthesized as reinforcement in Ti–6Al–4V alloy to improve the interface of the composites. It was found that interfacial SiCp not only strengthened the interface bonding by the Si solid solution but also inhibited the chemical reaction between FLG and the Ti matrix with reduced sp3 defects. The composite with 30 wt % SiC-decorated FLG showed an 86.8% decrement in wear rate compared to the unreinforced matrix, resulting in exceptionally high antiwear enhancing efficiency, which was around fourfold of the available values of other TMCs in the literature. The antiwear mechanism was investigated by thorough characterization of the interfaces and microstructures of the composites. The idea of interfacial decoration can be potentially applied to other nanocarbon/metal composites with the advantages of retaining the function performance of nanocarbon materials.

In this study, Ti/SnO2-Sb2Ox-TiO2electrodes were produced using a sol-enhanced electrodeposition technique from methanesulfonate electrolytes. The surface microstructures of Ti/SnO2-Sb2Ox-TiO2were observed, and their phase constituents were determined. The surface features were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Linear sweep voltammetry and degradation tests were also conducted to determine the degradation performance. The results show that the addition of TiO2sol affects the microstructures of Ti/SnO2-Sb2Ox-TiO2electrodes, while a uniform coating surface can be obtained at a proper sol concentration in electrolytes. Adding TiO2sol also causes deep oxidation of Sb and generates more adsorbed oxygen on the electrode surface. The favorable surface features and the well-dispersed TiO2in the coatings of 10 mL/L TiO2modified Ti/SnO2-Sb2Ox-TiO2electrodes award them the best electrocatalytic performance, and their uniform coating surface prolongs the electrode service life.Keywords:SnO2-Sb2Ox;sol-enhanced electrodeposition;organic degradation

Stable electrode materials with high catalytic activity are urgently required for electrochemical degradation of refractory organic pollutants in wastewater treatment . Herein, high conductive MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T x ) was firstly fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) as an interlayer for preparing a novel PbO 2 electrode. The well-conducted Ti 3 C 2 T x interlayer significantly improved the electrochemical performance of the EPD-2.0/PbO 2 (EPD time was 2.0 min) electrode with the charge transfer resistance decreased by 9.51 times, the inner active sites increased by 5.21 times and the ∙OH radicals generation ability enhanced by 4.07 times than the control EPD-0/PbO 2 anode. Consequently, the EPD-2.0/PbO 2 electrode achieved nearly 100% basic fuchsin (BF) and 86.78% COD removal efficiency after 3.0 h electrolysis. Therefore, this new PbO 2 electrode presented a promising potential for electrochemical degradation of BF and the new Ti 3 C 2 T x middle layer could also be used to fabricate other efficient and stable anodes, such as SnO 2 , MnO 2 , TiO 2 , etc.

Synthesizing highly effective photocatalysts for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generation is still a challenge. In this work, the doping of graphite carbon nitride nanosheets with single-atom titanium, using TiCl3 as a precursor, to form single Ti atom-doped graphitic carbon nitride (Ti-SAC/g-C3N4) photocatalysts can efficiently address this challenge. The photocatalytic activity is enhanced by increasing the concentration of titanium to 0.09%, and subsequently decreases with further increases in the concentration of titanium, thus confirming that the concentration of titanium atoms can modulate the performance of the single-atom catalysts. Furthermore, an in-depth investigation indicates that the bottom of the conduction band (CB) and the maximum of the valence band (VB) can be controlled by varying the concentration of titanium atoms. A high bottom of the CB is beneficial to increase the photocatalytic efficiency. Under acidic conditions and utilizing sacrificial agents, the H2O2 production rate of Ti-C3N4-100 can reach 356.45 μmol L−1 h−1 and is 2.44 and 2.13 times higher than that of BCN and g-C3N4, respectively. The electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra suggest that the generation of superoxide radicals is crucial in the photocatalytic process. This work provides a distinctive strategy to realize single titanium atom doping and offers new insights into structure–property relationships.

In the process of removing arsenic in an arsenic-containing aqueous solution, a large amount of harmful arsenic-containing waste is usually discharged. In this paper, a recyclable and environmentally friendly method of removing arsenic with Al/Ti-supported chitosan (ATC) was proposed. The results show that ATC has the best adsorption effect on arsenic at pH 8 at room temperature. In addition, the ratio of Al and Ti to chitosan (CB) affects the adsorption effect of ATC on arsenic. When Al: Ti: CB is 1:1:10, the removal rate of arsenic is as high as 99%. ATC can rapidly adsorb arsenic within 30 min. The adsorption kinetics shows that the adsorption of ATC on arsenic follows the joint action of physical adsorption and chemical precipitation. The adsorption isotherm shows that the adsorption process is multilayer adsorption. Finally, ATC has good recycling ability and is an efficient arsenic-removing agent in the treatment of arsenic-containing aqueous solutions. It shows great potential in the remediation of heavy metal-containing aqueous solutions.

Nanostructured N-doped TiO 2 photocatalyst has been prepared via a new approach from Ti-based MOF[NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)] precursor. The success of N doping enhances light absorption and narrows the bandgap. Moreover, the as-prepared nanostructure is constructed with tiny nanoparticles and resembles a pie-like morphology inherited from the MOF, which accelerates electron transfer. Hence, as a photocatalyst for the degradation of methylene blue(MB) under visible light irradiation, the N-doped TiO 2 (N-TiO 2 ) nanostructure shows higher photocatalytic activity with a reaction rate constant of 0.018 min −1 than that of the TiO 2 -P25 and TiO 2 under the visible light.

Tungsten-potassium-titanium (W-K-Ti) alloys were fabricated by spark-plasma-sintering (SPS) and traditional rotary swaging (RS) techniques. Doping conditions and sintering methods were compared on the relative density, microstructure, hardness, recrystallization temperature, and the thermal shock resistance properties. Transient heat loads under 0.37 GW m −2 were applied on the W-K-Ti samples at room temperature for different cycles and pulsed durations. It was found that moderate Ti-doping (0.05 and 0.075 wt%) in W-K alloys can enhance the thermal shock resistance. Low-cycle thermal fatigue test suggested better thermal shock resistance in SPS-sintered W-K-Ti alloy (SPS-W-K-Ti) using TiH 2 dopant . The main reason was that the decomposition of TiH 2 significantly reduced the oxygen content of the ingots, which improved the ductility and thermal shock resistance of tungsten alloys . Further fracture analyses indicated that Ti-doping through TiH 2 formed intra- and inter- Ti-rich voids in TiH 2 -doped W-K alloy, while only intergranular Ti particles were found lying along grain boundaries in the Ti-doped one. The formation mechanism of the Ti-rich voids was investigated in detail. This work provides a potential route for obtaining plasma facing materials with high thermal shock resistance.

Electrocatalytic hydrodehalogenation is a cost-effective approach to degrade halogenated organic pollutants in groundwater, and Pd-based catalysts have been found to be an efficient cathode material for this purpose. In this work, a novel Cu@Pd bimetallic catalyst loaded on Ti plate was prepared via combined electrodeposition and galvanic replacement for electrocatalytic hydrodehalogenation of atrazine, a typical halogenated pollutant. The obtained bimetallic catalyst with uniformly dispersed Pd nanoparticles possessed a large electrochemically active surface area of 572 cm 2 . The Cu@Pd/Ti cathode exhibited a higher electrocatalytic efficiency towards atrazine reduction than the individual Pd/Ti or Cu/Ti cathodes, and achieved up to 91.5% within 120 min under a current density of 1 mA cm −2 . Such an electrocatalytic reduction followed pseudo-first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.0214 min −1 . Atrazine was selectively transformed to dechlorinated atrazine, and its degradation pathway was identified. Current density was found to have a critical influence on the atrazine reduction due to the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction at a higher current density. The fabricated bimetallic catalyst also exhibited a good stability. This work provides an efficient and stable electrocatalyst for chlorinated contaminate removal and groundwater remediation.
