This work developed a simple and mild strategy for controllable synthesis of highly and homogeneously distributed TiO 2 nanoparticles on a cellulose template via tuning the cellulose crystallinity. As the crystallinity of cellulose increases, the restriction from crystallinity on nanoparticles increases, leading to homogeneous distribution, a decrease in size, and structural changes of TiO 2 from crystalline to amorphous. The carboxyl groups grafted on the periodically arranged hydroxyl groups of crystalline cellulose, which act as anchor sites for metal oxide precursor, restrict the distribution, growth and crystallization of TiO 2 nanoparticles. The amorphous TiO 2 nanoparticles on the cellulose with the highest degree of crystallinity (72.40 %) give the highest adsorption capacity toward tetracycline hydrochloride (152.89 mg/g), which is the state of art among the supported TiO 2 . The high adsorption capacity is proposed to be the oxygen defects caused by the Ti 3+ species, originating from the amorphous TiO 2 nanoparticles.

Traditional polyolefin separators cannot guarantee safety for lithium-ion batteries at high temperature due to their low melting point, especially for high power discharge. Therefore, it is imperative to develop separators with excellent thermal stability. In this paper, we have prepared TiO 2 modified PVDF composite separators by electrospinning. When compared with commercial PE separators, this kind of composite separators show superior thermal stability at 160°C. In addition, it is found that the 0.5-TiO 2 @PVDF separator exhibits excellent flame retardant and optimal tension strength. Meanwhile, the 0.5-TiO 2 @PVDF separator exhibits ideal liquid electrolyte storage capacity, which improves the ionic conductivity (0.68 mS cm −1 ). As a result, the LiCoO 2 ||Li cells with 0.5-TiO 2 @PVDF separator have high discharge capacity retention rate at a current density of 1 C (300 cycles) and excellent rate performance (1.75 mAh at 5 C). In short, nano-TiO 2 modified PVDF separator has a great application prospect in high-performance and high-safety lithium-ion batteries.

Herein, a series of CuS particles anchored three-dimensional ordered macroporous TiO 2 (CuS/3DOM-TiO 2 ) composites were fabricated by a biocompatible and environmental-friendly biomolecule-assisted route. For the first time in the macroporous 3DOM-TiO 2 , L-cysteine acted as multiple roles including sulfur source and chelating agent for anchoring of CuS particles. During the regulation by Cu/Ti molar ratios from 0.3 to 2, the average size of CuS particle which anchored on inner surface of 3DOM-TiO 2 was well-controlled from about 50 to 20 nm. The photocatalytic activities were investigated by visible-light degradation of methylene blue (MB). The highest activity of CuS/3DOM-TiO 2 was emerged when Cu/Ti equaled to 1. This optimized CuS/3DOM-TiO 2 -1 reached 99% in 180 min, which was 60% higher than that of pure TiO 2 . After four cycles, the photocatalytic activity of CuS/3DOM-TiO 2 retains more than 80% of its original performance. L-cysteine highly promoted the adhesion between CuS and TiO 2 which provided good cycling ability.

Modified Shell Powder/La-Fe-TiO2(La-Fe-TiO2@MSP) composites were fabricated using the sol-gel method and characterized by SEM, XRD, UV-vis DRS and photocurrent techniques, and their physicochemical and optical properties were analyzed. The effects of various factors on the photocatalytic degradation of pyridine and its reaction kinetics were investigated by batch experiments using pyridine, a typical nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound in coal chemical wastewater, as the target removal species. The pyridine degradation rate of 80.23% was obtained for 800 mg/L composite solution by photocatalytic oxidation of 50 mg/L pyridine wastewater for 180 min at 35 °C, pH = 8 and light intensity of 560 W. The photocatalytic degradation performance was optimal. The quenching experiments determined that the active species of photodegradation were mainly hole and hydroxyl radicals, and the photocatalytic degradation mechanism was analyzed in this way.Keywords:La-Fe-TiO2@MSP;photocatalysis;pyridine;reaction kinetics

TiO 2 is one of the most widely used photocatalytic semiconductors. However, the rapid recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs severely weakens its photocatalytic activity. Herein, a three-dimensional TiO 2 /reduced graphene oxide (TiO 2 -rGO) aerogel with enhanced interfacial charge transfer was synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method , and its photocatalytic degradation of Methylene Blue (MB) and Reactive Red 24 (RR24) dyes was investigated. The photocatalytic results showed that TiO 2 –rGO aerogel possesses excellent photocatalytic activity, and its photocatalytic degradation rate towards dyes is more than 3.8 times that of pure TiO 2 and more than 2.7 times that of TiO 2 -GO aerogel. Characterization results indicated that the significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 -rGO aerogel could be attributed to the enhanced π–conjugated structure of rGO, which can effectively increase interfacial charge transfer and inhibit electron-hole pairs recombination. The mechanism suggested that OH and O 2 − are the active species in the photocatalytic degradation process. Our findings can provide an important reference for the preparation of high-performance TiO 2 -based photocatalysts.

Due to the boom of the electronic information industry, dielectric ceramic materials are widely applied in passive components such as multilayer ceramic capacitors. In this article, Y 2/3 Cu 3 Ti 4 O 12 –TiO 2 composite ceramics with outstanding dielectric properties ( ε r = 2.29 × 10 6 at 20 Hz, ε r = 4.49×10 5 at 1 kHz) were successfully prepared by hydrothermal and in situ solid-state methods. The minimum dielectric loss value (at 1 kHz) of the obtained composite ceramics is about 0.57. The experimental results show that Y 2/3 Cu 3 Ti 4 O 12 has a composite perovskite structure with cation vacancies, which causes internal electron-pinned defect-dipole, and the easy entry of excessive titanium ions to produce donor defects. Meanwhile, the heterogeneous grains with a pomegranate-like microstructure were observed in the prepared composite ceramics, and interfacial polarization between subgrain boundaries was substantiated by impedance analysis. The abundant weakly trapped electrons and more polarized interfaces formed by grain and subgrain boundaries are the primary sources of the excellent dielectric properties of composite ceramics.

In this paper, we successfully constructed two composite photocatalysts TiO 2 @PDI-NapSO 3 H and Fe-TiO 2 @PDI-NapSO 3 H by utilizing water-soluble PDI derivatives to bond with TiO 2 or iron-doped TiO 2 . Their photocatalytic performance to degrade phenol and diclofenac sodium (DCF) under visible light were investigated. The results show that PDI-NapSO 3 H can effectively improve the optical absorption properties of TiO 2 . Furthermore, the oxygen vacancy produced by doping of Fe in TiO 2 prevents the recombination of photogenerated carriers effectively. The larger conjugate plane of PDI-NapSO 3 H provides a convenient channel for the migration and separation of photogenerated carriers. Thus almost 99 % of phenol or DCF can be degraded by Fe-TiO 2 @PDI-NapSO 3 H within 90 or 120 min, respectively. However, the photocatalytic activity of Fe-TiO 2 @PDI-NapSO 3 H is better. The rate of phenol degradation is much higher than that of TiO 2 @PDI-NapSO 3 H. Further, through the photoelectric response characteristic analysis, radical trapping experiment and EPR test, the effects mechanism of the energy band structure, photogenerated carrier separation efficiency on the photocatalytic performance of Fe-TiO 2 @PDI-NapSO 3 H were discussed. In addition, the possible degradation pathways of DCF and the reasons for the obvious reduction of environmental toxicity after photocatalytic degradation were proposed.

Constructing faradaic electrode with superior desalination performance is important for expanding the applications of capacitive deionization (CDI). Herein, a simple one-step alkalized treatment for in situ synthesis of 1D TiO 2 nanowires on the surface of 2D Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets, forming a Ti 3 C 2 -MXene partially derived hierarchical 1D/2D TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 heterostructure as the cathode electrode is reported. Cross-linked TiO 2 nanowires on the surface help avoid layer stacking while acting as the protective layer against contact of internal Ti 3 C 2 with dissolved oxygen in water. The inner Ti 3 C 2 MXene nanosheets cross over the TiO 2 nanowires can provide abundant active adsorption sites and short ion/electron diffusion pathways. . Density functional theory calculations demonstrated that Ti 3 C 2 can consecutively inject electrons into TiO 2 , indicating the high electrochemical activity of the TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 . Benefiting from the 1D/2D hierarchical structure and synergistic effect of TiO 2 and Ti 3 C 2 , TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 heterostructure presents a favorable hybrid CDI performance, with a superior desalination capacity (75.62 mg g −1 ), fast salt adsorption rate (1.3 mg g −1 min −1 ), and satisfactory cycling stability, which is better than that of most published MXene-based electrodes. This study provides a feasible partial derivative strategy for construction of a hierarchical 1D/2D heterostructure to overcome the restrictions of 2D MXene nanosheets in CDI.

N -alkylated piperazines can be synthesized by the thermal catalytic alkylation of piperazine with alkyl halides or alcohols in the presence of supported metal catalysts. However, these processes either discharge large amounts of waste or require harsh conditions. Here, we report the results of N -alkylation of piperazine with lower alcohols (methanol, ethanol, and propanol) without external hydrogen addition at room temperature in the presence of a TiO 2 -supported Pd catalyst (Pd/TiO 2 -P) prepared by photodeposition method. Compared with the catalysts prepared by the conventional chemical reduction or hydrogen reduction, the Pd/TiO 2 -P catalyst showed the highest conversion of piperazine and the best selectivity to N -alkypiperazines. The mechanistic studies indicated that this phenomenon occurs via tandem photocatalytic reactions involving alcohol dehydrgenation to aldehyde, aldehyde condensation with piperazine to enamine, and enamine hydrogenation to N -alkylated piperazines. Considering the experimental results of methanol isotope kinetics, the α-C–H cleavage of methanol to form hydroxymethyl radical (·CH 2 OH) was proven to be the rate-determining step in the N -alkylation reaction of piperazine with low carbon alcohols. The characterization and control experiments revealed that the size of Pd nanoparticles and the valence of Pd species were vital to the reaction. The Pd/TiO 2 -P catalyst with an average of 2.5 ± 0.5 nm Pd particles and approximately 68% Pd 0 species on surfaces presented the highest activity for the photocatalytic tandem reactions of methanol dehydrogenation and enamine hydrogenation.

Reported herein is a highly active and durable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalyst, which is constructed following a tandem interface strategy and functional in alkaline and even neutral medium (pH ≈ 7). The ternary composite material, consisting of conductive nickel foam (NF) substrate, Ni 3 S 2 -MoS 2 heterostructure, and TiO 2 coating, is synthesized by the hydrothermal method and atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. Representative results include: (1) versatile characterizations confirm the proposed composite structure and strong electronic interactions among comprised sulfide and oxide species; (2) the material outperforms commercial Pt/C by recording an overpotential of 115 mV and a Tafel slope of 67 mV dec −1 under neutral conditions. A long-term stability in alkaline electrolytes up to 200 h and impressive overall water splitting behavior (1.56 V @ 10 mA cm −2 ) are documented; (3) implementation of ALD oxide tandem layer is crucial to realize the design concept with superior HER performance by modulating a variety of heterointerface and intermediates electronic structure.

TiO2/SnS/MoS2 ternary nanorod arrays were synthesized on a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) conductive glass by a successive hydrothermal method. The morphology, microstructure, optical properties, photodegradation activity, photoelectrochemical performance, and charge transport mechanism of TiO2/SnS/MoS2 were systematically studied. It was found that SnS and MoS2 with a narrow bandgap can facilitate light absorbance of TiO2/SnS/MoS2 heterostructures across the visible range, improving the utilization of sunlight. TiO2/SnS/MoS2 exhibits the maximum photodegradation rate (61.54%) for Rhodamine B (RhB) in 60 min with a pseudo-first-order rate constant (0.0122 min−1), which is about 5.16 times better than that of TiO2. As a photoanode, TiO2/SnS/MoS2 has the highest photocurrent (0.841 mA cm−2), which is approximately 8.32 times better than those of TiO2. The enhanced photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical performance of TiO2/SnS/MoS2 is ascribed to the Z-scheme mechanism determined by the detection of active species and the synergistic effect of SnS and MoS2 co-decoration.

A safe, efficient, and responsive online hydrogen source is critical for the commercial application of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Catalysts play an important role in accelerating the development of hydrous hydrazine as a promising online hydrogen source, and the development of hydrous hydrazine (N2H4·H2O) as a promising online hydrogen source for PEMFCs requires superior catalysts with low cost and high activity. Herein, we report the synthesis of a supported amorphous catalyst NiMo/TiO2 using a combination of impregnation and coreduction methods. The NiMo/TiO2 catalyst can be responsive and completely decompose hydrous hydrazine to produce hydrogen in 1.5 min with a H2 selectivity of 100% and a turnover frequency (TOF) value of 484 h–1 under alkaline conditions at 343 K, outperforming most non-noble metal catalysts. Moreover, H2 selectivity has no decline after 10 cycles. The excellent catalytic properties can be attributed to the strong synergistic interaction between the support TiO2 and NiMo nanoparticles, as well as the amorphous NiMo nanoparticles possessing a high concentration of coordinated unsaturated sites. In addition, the doping of Mo leads to the modification of the electronic and geometric structures of the NiMo/TiO2 surface, which results in an easier cleavage of the N–H bond and desorption of reaction intermediates.
