Photocatalytic-adsorptive desulfurization of model fuel by the H 2 O 2 -assisted synthesized TiO 2 -SiO 2 (TiO 2 -SiO 2 -H) was investigated using air as the oxidant under UV irradiation. TiO 2 -SiO 2 -H was synthesized hydrothermally in the presence of H 2 O 2 and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N 2 adsorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–vis DRS) and photoluminescence spectrum (PL). Compared to TiO 2 -SiO 2 synthesized in the absence of H 2 O 2 , Ti 0.25 SiO y -H showed greatly enhanced photocatalytic-adsorptive desulfurization performance due to its increased surface area, greatly increased UV absorption and decreased recombination of photogenerated hole/electron pairs. The Ti/Si molar ratio was optimized to 0.3 with the sulfur removal of 100% after reaction for 1 h at the fuel-to-Ti 0.3 SiO y -H weight ratio of 20, and the sulfur content could still be reduced to be <1 ppmw when the fuel-to-Ti 0.3 SiO y -H weight ratio was increased to 80. Moreover, TiO 2 -SiO 2 -H based photocatalytic-adsorptive process bears high selectivity for removing organosulfur in the toluene-containing fuel. The sulfur removal for model fuel containing 25 wt% toluene could reach 98.4% after reaction for 5 h. The photocatalytic-adsorptive selectivity of Ti 0.3 SiO y -H for organosulfur compounds in model diesel fuels followed the order of dibenzothiophene > 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene > benzothiophene. The desulfurization performance of TiO 2 -SiO 2 -H was basically stable after four consecutive desulfurization-regeneration cycles.

Hollow structures in TiO2 materials can enhance the photocatalytic properties by reducing the diffusion length and improving the accessibility of active sites for the reactants. However, existing approaches for preparing hollow TiO2 materials have two drawbacks that restrict their engineering applicability: first, a heavy reliance on templates to form a hollow structure, which makes the preparation laborious, complicated, and costly; second, difficult-to-achieve high crystallization while maintaining the small grain size in calcinated TiO2, which is crucial for enhancing photocatalytic activity. Herein, a simple, effective method is proposed that not only enables the preparation of hybrid TiO2–SiO2 hollow spheres without the template fabrication and removal process via microemulsion technology but also achieves both high crystallization and a small grain size in calcinated TiO2 at once through the calcination of amorphous TiO2 with organosilane at a high temperature of 850 °C. The prepared TiO2–SiO2 hollow spheres with tunable sizes demonstrate high photocatalytic activity with a maximum k value of 133.74 × 10–3 min–1, which is superior to commercial photocatalyst P25 (k = 114.97 × 10–3 min–1). In addition, Au can be doped in the hybrid TiO2–SiO2 shell to gain Au-doped hollow spheres that show a high k value of up to 694.14 × 10–3 min–1, which is 6 times larger than that of P25 and much better than that reported in the literature. This study not only provides an effective approach to stabilize and tune the grain growth of the TiO2 photocatalyst during calcination but also enables the simple preparation of hollow TiO2-based materials with controllable hollow nanostructures.

In this paper, a CaCO 3 /TiO 2 @SiO 2 composite pigment (CTS) was prepared by a carbonation reaction using a one-pot method. CTS can reduce the amount of rutile TiO 2 needed and improve the weatherability compared with TiO 2 and CaCO 3 /TiO 2 (CT). The performance test results showed that the composite pigment with 60% TiO 2 has a coating film contrast ratio of 91.05% of pure TiO 2 , and the oil absorption and whiteness values were also close to those of pure TiO 2 , indicating that the CTS has good pigment properties. The XPS and infrared results showed that the bonding of CaCO 3 , TiO 2 , and SiO 2 occurred at the interface. The tight bonding of the three substances was realized through a dehydroxylation reaction on the surface. In addition, the SiO 2 layer weaken the photocurrent response of TiO 2 in the CTS and reduced the UV absorption of the composite pigment, which slowed the degradation rate of rhodamine B in the composite pigment coatings; thus, the CTS exhibits excellent weatherability performance in coating applications.

The development of a simple and environmentally friendly method to synthesize hollow TiO 2 structures is urgent for realizing high NIR reflectance and low thermal conductivity . Hollow TiO 2 @SiO 2 structures have been successfully synthesized by a recycling template method. The synthesis process involves four steps as follows: 1) preparation of SiO 2 spheres, 2) synthesis of SiO 2 @TiO 2 core-shell structure by coating mesoporous TiO 2 shell on SiO 2 and crystallization by calcination , 3) etching the SiO 2 @TiO 2 to form the hollow TiO 2 spheres, and 4) coating the hollow TiO 2 spheres with a SiO 2 protection layer to produce hollow TiO 2 @SiO 2 structures. The SiO 2 serves as a template to support and synthesize hollow TiO 2 shell, and then after being etched, to form a Na 2 SiO 3 solution as a coating agent to protect TiO 2 shell from photocatalytic activity. The as-synthesized hollow TiO 2 @SiO 2 structures not only have high NIR reflectance, but also have a high thermal barrier performance due to the hollow structure. Moreover, the NIR reflectance of the coating made from hollow TiO 2 @SiO 2 reached 94.9%, and the temperature of the inner surface of the coating board is reduced about 16 °C, compared with the surface without coating. The weather resistance studies reveal that the hollow TiO 2 @SiO 2 sample is very stable under the UV irradiation. In particular, the hollow TiO 2 @SiO 2 structures synthesized by using this method shows multifunctional responses towards solar heat.

A multi-functional kaolinite-based compound (AST@Kaol) was prepared by successive loading of TiO 2 and SiO 2 to the surface of metakaolinite (Kaol), followed by reaction with γ-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES). The hybrid was then introduced to epoxy resin (EP) to enhance flame retardancy, smoke suppression and anti-aging properties. The results demonstrated the presence of only 3 wt% AST@Kaol can increase the value of limit oxygen index (LOI) of EP composite to 27.3% from 25.3% of neat EP, as well as decrease the value of heat release rate , total smoke release and the smoke density by 36.9, 14.3 and 19.9%, respectively, compared to neat EP. Besides, the thermal stability and thermal oxidative resistance of EP composites was enhanced. The mechanism of fire retardancy, anti-ageing and mechanical of the EP composite containing AST@Kaol was also speculated.

The conversion of terpinolene epoxide to terpinen-4-ol is a desirable chemical transformation for the production of a valuable intermediate. This paper describes a one-pot, two-step system for the reaction that uses a bifunctional Ni/TiO 2 -SiO 2 catalyst with isomerization and hydrogenation capabilities. The TiO 2 -SiO 2 serves to isomerize the starting epoxide. The Ni component works to hydrogenate the allylic double bond. The tandem system achieves a high 64% yield of terpinen-4-ol. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that TiO 2 -SiO 2 was a mixed binary oxide, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine suggested that acid sites were mainly Lewis acid sites. Electron microscopy showed that the Ni/TiO 2 -SiO 2 catalyst consisted of spherical particles comprising a titanosilicate phase with highly dispersed zero-valent Ni or anatase on the surface. Additionally, there was strong interaction between Ni and the TiO 2 -SiO 2 mixed oxides. Control kinetic experiments demonstrated that the tandem use of the catalysts was more effective than simultaneous operation.

In this paper, core/sheath TiO 2 /SiO 2 nanofibers with tunable sheath thickness were directly fabricated via a facile co-electrospinning technique with subsequent calcination at 500 °C. The morphologies and structures of core/sheath TiO 2 /SiO 2 nanofibers were characterized by TGA, FESEM, TEM, FTIR, XPS and BET. It was found that the 1D core/sheath nanofibers are made up of anatase–rutile TiO 2 core and amorphous SiO 2 sheath. The influences of SiO 2 sheath and its thickness on the photoreactivity were evaluated by observing photo-degradation of methylene blue aqueous solution under the irradiation of UV light. Compared with pure TiO 2 nanofibers, the core/sheath TiO 2 /SiO 2 nanofibers performed a better catalytic performance. That was attributed to not only efficient separation of hole–electron pairs resulting from the formation of heterojunction but also larger surface area and surface silanol group which will be useful to provide higher capacity for oxygen adsorption to generate more hydroxyl radicals. And the optimized core/sheath TiO 2 /SiO 2 nanofibers with a sheath thickness of 37 nm exhibited the best photocatalytic performance.

The second near-infrared (NIR-II) window (1000–1350 nm) usually offers further improved light penetration, a higher maximum permissible exposure (MPE), and a lower background signal. Development of NIR-II optical diagnosis and phototherapy technologies is of great significance for precise, efficient tumor therapy. In this work, a new type of Ti-based targeting agent (B-TiO2@SiO2–HA) nanotheranostic system with strong NIR-II absorption was designed and fabricated for the first time. Oxygen vacancies were formed in B-TiO2 and its band gap was narrowed, resulting in nanotheranostic systems with full-spectrum responses to stimulation with light. The experimental results showed that B-TiO2@SiO2–HA not only can enable high NIR-II photothermal conversion and provide excellent reactive oxygen species (ROS) production capacity, but also can enable high-resolution photoacoustic imaging (PAI) under NIR-II laser irradiation. Moreover, HA modification gives the nanotheranostic systems the useful ability to target high-CD44-expression tumor cells and tissues. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that B-TiO2@SiO2–HA exhibited a targeted photothermal/photodynamic (PTT/PDT) effect that produced tumor-cell ablation and apoptosis under the guidance of real-time NIR-II PA imaging. B-TiO2@SiO2–HA exhibits precise nanotheranostic potential for PAI-guided tumor-targeting phototherapy.

ABSTRCTComposite materials show more superior performance compared with the single-component materials. Core-shell material as a new composite material are more and more widely used. TiO2@SiO2 core-shell microspheres belong to inorganic core-shell microspheres, compared with other types of core-shell material, the inorganic core-shell microspheres have advantage of controlled size, structural stability, easy surface modification, and so on. In the present paper, we demonstrated the synthesis of novel monodisperse core-shell microspheres with a TiO2 shell using a convenient process. Due to owning core-shell structures with TiO2 surface, the obtained TiO2@SiO2 microspheres can be used as photocatalysts.

In recent years, optical diffusion film materials with high transmittance and high haze have been widely reported, while there is relatively rare research on their functionalization and practical application especially in real scenario. In this work, optical diffusion films using polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)@TiO 2 @SiO 2 (P@T@S) composite microspheres were fabricated, which exhibited sufficiently high light transmittance and haze. The binding mode of PMMA microspheres and nanoparticles suggested that PMMA microspheres with a positive surface potential combined with nanoparticles with a negative surface potential through electrostatic attraction to achieve mutual binding. The prepared P@T@S composite microspheres showed better heat and swelling resistance than those of PMMA microspheres. The P@T@S diffusion film, whose excellent light diffusion effect was clearly demonstrated, exhibited the best optical performance among all optical diffusion films prepared. After passing through the P@T@S diffusion film, the laser light was not only uniform but also bright. The findings from this work can provide some insight into further research on optical diffusion films applied in optoelectronic device areas.

Oil pollution caused by a large number of industrial activities and oil spill accidents has posed serious harm to the environment and human health. However, some challenges remain with the existing separation materials, such as poor stability and fouling resistance. Herein, a TiO2/SiO2fiber membrane (TSFM) was prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method for oil-water separation in acid, alkali, and salt environments. The TiO2nanoparticles were successfully grown on the fiber surface, endowing the membrane with superhydrophilicity/underwater superoleophobicity. The as-prepared TSFM exhibits high separation efficiency (above 98%) and separation fluxes (3016.38–3263.45 L·m−2·h−1) for various oil-water mixtures. Importantly, the membrane shows good corrosion resistance in acid, alkaline, and salt solutions and still maintains underwater superoleophobicity and high separation performance. The TSFM displays good performance after repeated separation, demonstrating its excellent antifouling ability. Importantly, the pollutants on the membrane surface can be effectively degraded under light radiation to restore its underwater superoleophobicity, showing the unique self-cleaning ability of the membrane. In view of its good self-cleaning ability and environmental stability, the membrane can be used for wastewater treatment and oil spill recovery and has a broad application prospect in water treatment in complex environments.

Various methods have been exploited to treat oil/water mixtures, but they are not suitable for widespread application due to high cost or low efficiency. Superhydrophobic materials with water-repellent and lipophilic are desirable materials for the separation. Here, composite superhydrophobic coatings, capable of applying to a variety of substrates, were developed using a simple co-blending method of dispersing fumed TiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) and hydrophobic silica sol into non-fluorinated modified polystyrene resin (MPS). The properties of the coating were investigated by a variety of techniques such as FTIR, FESEM, TG-DSC, and contact angle measurement. The results suggested that the surface had exceptional superhydrophobicity with the WCA as high as 160.8°. The coating remained superhydrophobic after 3 times of sandpaper abrasion. The superhydrophobic surface had excellent self-cleaning properties and could be applied to separate the oil/water mixture. The separation efficiency could be over 96% and remained stable after 5 cycles. It is a great prospect in the treatment of oily wastewater. Furthermore, the reagents and instruments used during the procedure are easily available, so it has the potential for production in large quantities. Graphical abstract The superhydrophobic composite coatings for self-cleaning were fabricated by mixing the non-fluorinated modified polystyrene resin (MPS) and two nanoparticles of TiO2 and SiO2. The superhydrophobic composite coatings could be applied to separate the oil/water mixture. The separation efficiency could be over 96%, and remained stable after 5 cycles.
