In electrocatalysis, the expensive Pt catalysts are prone to poisoning, but the interface interaction between Pt and carrier is expected to overcome poisoning and improve catalytic activity. The key is to design efficient carriers. Herein, a Ce-doped TiO 2 carrier with oxygen vacancies loaded Pt nanoparticles (Ce-TiO 2 /Pt) was prepared by sol-gel and subsequent chemical reduction. Ce-TiO 2 /Pt nanocomposite catalysts are characterized by various techniques such as SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, EPR, UV–vis DRS, BET, and electrochemistry. As-prepared Ce-TiO 2 /Pt exhibited electrocatalytic activity of 2070 mA mg −1 towards methanol oxidation in an alkaline medium, and the catalytic performance was significantly enhanced to 5505 mA mg −1 under light conditions. Compared to TiO 2 /Pt and commercial JM Pt/C catalysts, the superior photoelectrocatalytic activity, poisoning-tolerance ability, and long-term stability of Ce-TiO 2 /Pt was mostly responsible for the rise in oxygen vacancies, optimization of the electronic structure, and favorable control of morphology after Ce doping. This study provides a new pathway for advancing low-cost, durable, exceptional-performance catalysts for direct methanol fuel cell.

The degree of band matching is crucial for the photoelectric conversion performance of heterojunctions. In this work, TiO 2 /Zn x In 2 S 3+x (TO/ZIS-X, X=1, 2, 3, 4) heterostructures and their electrochemical and photoelectrochemical tests were studied. According to the energy band analysis of a series of TO/ZIS-X, it is found that I-type heterojunction can be formed between TO and ZIS-1, while Z-type heterojunction would be formed between TO and ZIS-2, ZIS-3 and ZIS-4. The photoinduced potential drop associated with current density of TO/ZIS-2 in 3.5 wt% NaCl are 505.82 mV and 18.61 μA·cm −2 , respectively. This result is much higher than those of homogeneous TO and single-phase ZIS-X. The desirable photoelectrochemical cathodic protection performance of the photoelectrode is owing to the loading of Zn x In 2 S 3+x , which broadens the light absorption threshold and improves the electrochemical activity area. Besides, the construction of Z-type heterojunction retains the photogenerated electrons/holes with strong reduction/oxidation ability, which greatly promotes the photoelectrochemical cathodic protection capability on 316 L stainless steel.

As a well-known photocatalyst, TiO2still suffers from rapid electron–hole recombination and limited visible light absorption. To overcome these challenges, the combination of graphene and TiO2has been proposed. However, traditional methods such as ball milling and hydrothermal synthesis face limitations, including high energy consumption and complex procedures. Here, we develop a simple and industrially feasible method to prepare reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-coated TiO2nanoparticles, referred to as rGO-TiO2composites. The optimized rGO-TiO2composites exhibit an enhanced photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under simulated sunlight conditions, about 99.95% for 4% rGO-TiO2within 80 min. The first-order reaction rate constant (k) of 4% rGO-TiO2(0.0867 min−1) is 5.42 times higher than that of nano TiO2(0.0135 min−1). The key reactive species involved in the degradation process are identified. Additionally, the effects of pH and NaCl concentration on the degradation efficiency of rGO-TiO2are also investigated. The 4% rGO-TiO2composite exhibits an excellent photocatalytic activity within the pH range of 3.87–11.89, and the NaCl concentration does not affect its photocatalytic efficiency. After characterization, the enhanced photocatalytic activity is ascribed to the introduction of rGO and the generation of surface oxygen vacancies (OV) and Ti3+in TiO2crystals.

Carbon has been widely used as a catalyst support and adsorbent in industry. However, it suffers from poor stability due to its limited mechanical strength, particularly under high pressures and temperatures. We report here a carbide derived carbon (CDC) layer on a porous SiC surface, which has the properties of high mechanical strength and is easy to shape. The CDC exhibits an amorphous structure and contains mainly mesopores with a BET surface area of 125 m2 g−1. The CDC–SiC composite yields a comparable performance to coconut activated carbon (AC) as a catalyst support in the probe reaction hydrogenation of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde. The further introduction of TiO2 nanoparticles enhances the activity and stability significantly because of the improved dispersion of Pd particles on CDC–SiC. The activity is 4 times higher than the Pd/AC catalyst. Pd–TiO2/CDC–SiC shows great promise as an alternative to the current AC supported Pd catalyst for the crude terephthalic acid hydropurification industry.

TiO 2 microspheres were synthesized by the sol–gel method using the ionic liquid (IL) 1-vinyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide (VPIM + I − ) as a reaction medium, then calcined at 500 °C. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The phase of TiO 2 microspheres is anatase, and VPIM + I − is able to favor the growth of anatase phase and prevents the collapse of small pores. The photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 -IL was tested by degradation of 2-nitrophenol under UV light illumination. The photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 -IL was higher than that of samples prepared in the reaction medium without VPIM + I − .

A novel 3D hierarchical TiO2/CaIn2S4/C3N4 arrays with dual heterojunctions photoanode is constructed by stepwise deposition of CaIn2S4 nanosheets and ultrathin C3N4 onto the well-aligned TiO2 nanorods arrays. Integrating the merit of the superior ability of CaIn2S4 and C3N4 to harvest visible light, dual type-Ⅱ heterojunction band structure and one-dimensional ordered nanostructures, the TiO2/CaIn2S4/C3N4 photoanode exhibits simultaneous significant improvements in visible-light harvesting, charge separation and electron transfer capability. At 1.23 V (versus reversible hydrogen electrode) under AM 1.5 G irradiation, the TiO2/CaIn2S475/C3N4 photoanode exhibits a photocurrent density of 4.5 mA cm−2, which is 5.2 and 51.1-fold higher than that of TiO2/CaIn2S475 and pristine TiO2 photoanode, respectively. Moreover, the applied bias photo-to-current efficiency (ABPE) of the TiO2/CaIn2S475/C3N4 photoanode reaches 3.5% at 0.36 V (versus reversible hydrogen electrode). These results are helpful for fabricating more efficient heterostructure photoelectrodes.

The activation of persulfate (PS) by metal catalysts under visible light is expected to offer a promising oxidation reaction for the removal of contaminants from water. Herein, we investigated activated PS systems under visible light irradiation for the generation of reductive species to decompose ciprofloxacin (CIP). Improved PS activation using TiO2/Fe2O3/zeolite ((n)TiFeZ) under visible light irradiation favorably leads the reaction to generate reductive radicals. The enhanced degradation efficiencies of the (n)TiFeZ–PS system for CIP removal was due to the extended absorbance in the visible-light region and improved space separation of photo-induced charge carriers. The (4)TiFeZ catalyst exhibited better performance for CIP removal as compared to the other samples. The CIP was completely degraded in 120 min using 1 g L−1 (4)TiFeZ and 5.0 mM PS at pH 7.0. The characterization and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of (n)TiFeZ suggested that CIP was mainly degraded by surface-adsorbed radicals generated from the reaction between PS and Fe(II) on the samples under visible light. The reductive systems coupled with (n)TiFeZ exhibited high CIP degradation efficiency and high potential for the decomposition of other antibiotic compounds.

Pt nanoparticles supported on anatase TiO 2 is an efficient and stable catalyst for room-temperature selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol under base-free aqueous conditions with ambient air as the oxidant. The result shows that the anatase content of support has a big influence on the activity of Pt/TiO 2 . Higher anatase content results in better performance, with optimal activity for Pt/anatase TiO 2 of 76.7 ± 1.5% in conversion and nearly 100% in selectivity to aldehyde within 10 h. Moreover, a quasi-linear relationship between anatase content of the support and the activity of Pt/TiO 2 is observed.

Intensive studies on low-temperature deposited electron transport materials have been performed to improve the efficiency of n-i-p type planar perovskite solar cells to extend their application on plastic and multijunction device architectures. Here, a TiO 2 film with enhanced conductivity and tailored band edge is prepared by magnetron sputtering at room temperature by hydrogen doping (HTO), which accelerates the electron extraction from perovskite photoabsorber and reduces charge transfer resistance, resulting in an improved short circuit current density and fill factor. The HTO film with upward shifted Fermi level guarantees a smaller loss on V OC and facilitates the growth of high-quality absorber with much larger grains and more uniform size, leading to devices with negligible hysteresis. In comparison with the pristine TiO 2 prepared without hydrogen doping, the HTO-based device exhibits a substantial performance enhancement leading to an efficiency of 19.30% and more stabilized photovoltaic performance maintaining 93% of its initial value after 300 min continuous illumination in the glove box. These properties permit the room-temperature magnetron sputtered HTO film as a promising electron transport material for flexible and tandem perovskite solar cell in the future.

One-step selectively photocatalytic phenol hydroxylation to produce Dihydroxybenzenes (DHB) is an attractive and challenging strategy. However, the rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers existed in single component photocatalyst seriously hinders the photocatalytic efficiency. The heterojunction strategy can optimize the band structure of the photocatalyst, and effectively improve the carriers' separation and transfer during the photocatalytic process. Herein, we successfully designed and prepared a 3D TiO 2 @Ni 3 Fe 1 -LDH core-shell heterostructure photocatalyst by coupling TiO 2 nanorods with Ni 3 Fe 1 -LDH nanosheets for the photocatalytic phenol hydroxylation to produce DHB. The results showed that the 3D TiO 2 @Ni 3 Fe 1 -LDH core-shell heterostructure had a suitable energy band structure for the photocatalytic phenol hydroxylation and the heterostructure accelerated the carriers’ separation and transfer. Meanwhile, the high porosity and abundant active sites were conducive to the adsorption of H 2 O 2 and the photogenerated carriers transfer efficiency from the photocatalyst to H 2 O 2 . The 3D TiO 2 @Ni 3 Fe 1 -LDH core-shell heterostructure showed excellent photocatalytic performance of phenol hydroxylation, where the phenol conversion was 48.6%, and the selectivity of DHB was 81.1% at 25 °C and 4 h of light illumination. Furthermore, the as-prepared photocatalysts exhibited good stability after four cycles of experiment. This work provided a convenient and efficient method for the green synthesis of DHB.

Graphical In this paper, heterojunction photocatalyst TiO 2 @BiOCl-BiOI was successfully synthesized by composite modification method combined with sol-gel method, and it was applied to the degradation of CR. Thanks to the heterostructure structure, TiO 2 @BiOCl-BiOI showed excellent photocatalytic performance for CR under simulated sunlight, with a removal rate of 96.45 %. After 5 times of recycling, the removal rate of CR by TiO 2 @BiOCl-BiOI is still higher than 87 %. Under the action of ⋅O − 2 , h + and ⋅O, CR is oxidized to H 2 O, CO 2 and other harmless substances. TiO 2 @BiOCl-BiOI heterostructure photocatalyst with high photocatalytic activity was prepared by the composite modification and sol-gel procedure. TiO 2 nanoparticles highly dispersed on the surface of TiO 2 @BiOCl-BiOI, which provides sufficient active sites for the photocatalytic degradation process. The photodegradation performance of the photocatalyst was evaluated by the removal rate of Congo Red. The researches showed that the degradation effect of TiO 2 @BiOCl-BiOI for Congo Red is significantly stronger than that of TiO 2 and BiOCl-BiOI, which is mainly due to the type-II heterojunction structure of TiO 2 @BiOCl-BiOI and its enhanced visible-light response. The experiments of free radical capture indicated that ⋅ and are the main active species in the photocatalytic degradation system. This study showed that TiO 2 @BiOCl-BiOI can almost completely degrade Congo Red under simulated sunlight, making it the harmless substances such as H 2 O and CO 2 .

In this study, a microwave discharge electrodeless lamp (MDEL) photo-degradation system coupled with anatase TiO 2 (P25) was constructed to improve the selective degradation of NH 3 to N 2 . The MDEL system can generate abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) with ultraviolet radiation at 185 nm and 254 nm during gas phase reaction . The species and content of ROS generated in the reaction system were determined by oxidation extraction spectrophotometry , and the effects of residence time, temperature, and relative humidity on the production of reactive oxygen species were investigated. In addition, the removal efficiency under different conditions such as initial ammonia concentration, relative humidity and residence time was explored. It was found that the removal rate could reach 83% when the initial ammonia concentration was 100 ppm, relative humidity was 55% and gas residence time was 5.16 s. The high-energy ultraviolet at 185 nm from MDEL could break NH 3 molecules in advance and produced a large amount of ·NH 2 . Besides, NH 3 was converted to N 2 by generating large amounts of ROS, reducing NO x and nitrate generation. Our work presents a novel approach to construct a photocatalytic system for high efficiency degradation of NH 3 .
