Ti-coated diamond with different particle sizes and proper amounts of cubic boron nitride (cBN) was used to fabricate polycrystalline diamond composite (PDC) with improved wear resistance and thermal stability under high temperature and high pressure (5.5–6.5GPa, 1500–1650 °C). The ratio of Ti-coated diamond powder, cBN powder and normal diamond powder was W 30 – 50 : W 4 – 8 : W 0 – 1 = 70: 15: 15. Cobalt (Co) was used as a binder, and cemented tungsten carbide was used as a substrate to sinter a new high-performance PDC. Ti and TiC on the surface of Ti-coated diamond reacted with cBN under high temperature and high pressure to generate new ceramic phases such as TiB 2 , TiN and TiN 0.3 , which have high hardness and good wear resistance. Compared with the conventional PDC, the impact toughness and wear resistance of PDC with Ti-coated diamond and cBN addition were enhanced by 19% and 28%, respectively. The ceramic phase acts as a protective barrier, which enhances the initial graphitization and oxidizing temperature to 942–950 °C, which were 162–170 °C higher than the conventional PDC. The new ceramic barrier wrapped around the surface of the diamond and Co after the formation of the D-D (diamond-diamond) bonding will give priority to the oxidation reaction of Co and diamond with oxygen, which prohibits cobalt-catalytic graphitization of diamond, meeting the needs of PDC thermal stability and wear resistance in the field of drilling.

The poor conductivity and sluggish kinetics of hematite (α-Fe2O3) limit its photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance. Herein, a cobalt metal–organic framework (Co-MOF) ultrathin overlayer is in situ-grown onto a Ti-doped hematite nanorod array via the chemical bath deposition. The optimal Co-MOF/Ti:Fe2O3 achieves a photocurrent density of 2.24 mA/cm2 at 1.23 V [vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)], which is 2.4-folds that of pristine Fe2O3. When compared with the onset potential of Ti:Fe2O3, Co-MOF/Ti:Fe2O3 exhibits a cathodic shift of 310 mV. Co-MOF/Ti:Fe2O3 also shows a photocurrent density retention of 98.1% after the 6 h stability test. The improved PEC activity is mostly ascribed to the increased charge separation and surface charge injection. Ti doping increases the electron density in Fe2O3 and lowers the Fermi level (vs RHE), facilitating the charge transport in the bulk. The enhanced photovoltage and favorable distribution of surface states after Co-MOF modification and the catalytic/conductive properties of Co-MOF induce the enhanced charge separation/injection and the low onset potential.

In this study, porous Ti/Magnéli Ti 4 O 7 nanotube arrays (NTA) was fabricated to pretreat antibiotic wastewater. Characterization of the Ti 4 O 7 -NTA illustrated that highly ordered NTA was successfully generated on the porous Ti substrate, which enlarged the specific surface area by 1.67 times. The Ti 4 O 7 -NTA has a high oxygen evolution potential (2.60 V) as well as low interfacial charge transfer resistance (4.479 Ω cm −2 ). Ceftriaxone sodium (CRO) was completely removed from raw antibiotic wastewater after 3 h of treatment by the Ti 4 O 7 -NTA, under optimal operation conditions. The biodegradability and toxicity of the wastewater were also significantly enhanced and reduced, as the BOD/COD and EC 50,48h values were increased to 0.48 and 57.62 % ± 2.16 %, respectively. The possible degradation pathway of CRO was proposed by LC‒MS. Cathodic polarization was proven to be an effective way to ensure the long-term durability of the Ti 4 O 7 -NTA.

TiB 2 reinforced Ti(C,N)-based cermet was produced by the reaction spark plasma sintering of Co, Ni, Ti, C, BN, Mo 2 C, WC, and TaC mixtures. To understand the mechanism of reaction sintering, systematic investigation on the microstructure evolution and displacement variation rule was carried out. In addition, the influence of C/BN molar ratio on the microstructures and performances of cermet was investigated. Except an initially increased pressure, three densification patterns were found. The first method was the Co Ti, Ti Ni, and Ti-BN diffusion reactions, resulting in a shrinkage of 22.06%. The second pattern was the viscous flow and dissolution-reprecipitation, which corresponded to the synthesis of Ti(C,N) and TiB 2 . In this process, the shrinkage ratio was increased by 35.62%. The final densification mainly originated from the viscous flow of metallic binder. It contributed to the transformation of macrovoids into microvoids, and an increased displacement of 30.10%. With the increasing of C/BN ratio, more C atoms diffused into Ti(C,N). Furthermore, core/rim structure-Ti(C,N) and coreless (W,Mo,Ta,Ti)(C,N) were fabricated. However, the microvoids in cermets enhanced. As a result, the hardness and fracture toughness first increased and then decreased. Results from this work are helpful to understand the reaction spark plasma sintering technique, and can enrich the preparation method of cermet.

Degradation of refractory organics has been limited by their low mass-transport rates in conventional flow-by operated electrochemical reactors. This study explores for the first time the development of porous titanium (Ti)-based metal oxide anodic membrane for efficient flow-through degradation of recalcitrant tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). For this purpose, a duplexed Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/PbO 2 -Ce anodic membrane was successfully prepared by sol-gel and electrodeposition methods. Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/PbO 2 -Ce exhibited improved mechanical and electrochemical stability, larger electrochemical surface area, higher oxygen evolution potential and lower charge transfer resistance, as compared to its mono-layered rival (Ti/SnO 2 -Sb). The switching from flow-by to flow-through operation resulted in an increased mass transfer rate constant and narrowed diffusion layer thickness of Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/PbO 2 -Ce. In the flow-through mode, Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/PbO 2 -Ce enabled the complete TBBPA removal at a relatively low electric energy (0.11 kWh m −3 ). The TBBPA removal was ascribed to the direct anodic oxidation and indirect anodic oxidation incurred by absorbed HO , free HO and 1 O 2 . The intermediate products, which were arisen from the attack of TBBPA by these reactive species, were identified. We further estimated their acute toxicities and bioaccumulation factors. This research proposed a robust electrochemical filtration approach for detoxification of TBBPA-contaminated water.

Effectively regulating and promoting the charge separation and transfer of photoanodes is a key and challenging aspect of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation. Herein, a Ti-doped hematite photoanode with a CoFe-LDH cocatalyst loaded on the surface was prepared through a series of processes, including hydrothermal treatment, annealing and electrodeposition. The prepared CoFe-LDH/Ti:α-Fe2O3photoanode exhibited an outstanding photocurrent density of 3.06 mA/cm2at 1.23 VRHE, which is five times higher than that of α-Fe2O3alone. CoFe-LDH modification and Ti doping on hematite can boost the surface charge transfer efficiency, which is mainly attributed to the interface interaction between CoFe-LDH and Ti:α-Fe2O3. Furthermore, we investigated the role of Ti doping in enhancing the PEC performance of CoFe-LDH/Ti:α-Fe2O3. A series of characterizations and theoretical calculations revealed that, in addition to improving the electronic conductivity of the bulk material, Ti doping also further enhances the interface coupling of CoFe-LDH/α-Fe2O3and finely regulates the interfacial electronic structure. These changes promote the rapid extraction of holes from hematite and facilitate charge separation and transfer. The informative findings presented in this work provide valuable insights for the design and construction of hematite photoanodes, offering guidance for achieving excellent performance in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation.

Owing to the low-cost and fast process, molten salt electrolysis is considered as a novel method to replace the Kroll process for preparing titanium. However, this process has not been fully realized because of the multi-step reduction and complicated disproportionation behaviors of multivalent titanium ions in melt. To address such critical problems, here we use liquid metals (Sn and Pb) as the cathode instead of solid metal cathode (Mo) during the electrolysis, in which the reduction process of Ti3+ (TiF63−) becomes a simple one-step process (Ti3+ + 3e = Ti (alloys)). Also, the deposition potential is more positive (>0.5 V) than that using solid Mo, owing to the depolarizing effect of the liquid metals. One-step process and depolarization behavior are favorable to increase the current efficiency, effectively decreasing the power consumption in comparison with the conventional electrolysis at solid metal cathodes. Similar to the electrolytic production of aluminum in Hall-Heroult system, there would be a continuous electrolysis process because the product is liquid alloy in this system.

A simple synthesis has been developed for watermelon-like nanocomposites with Ti-based oxides as the matrix. Using the case of Sb nanocrystals in amorphous TiPO x as an example, in-situ/ex-situ techniques, first-principle calculations and control experiments confirm that the formation of Ti-based oxides promotes the reduction of Sb 3+ to Sb by NH 3 at an elevated temperature. A similar synthesis process also succeeds for Sb nanocrystals in amorphous TiO 2 and for Bi nanocrystals in amorphous TiPO x , confirming the promising potential of this synthesis. More importantly, the nanocomposite composed by crystalline Sb in an amorphous TiPO x matrix, as the anode material for sodium storage, concurrently exhibits a long cycle life (~1000 cycles) and a high capacity retention (~82%), suggesting the advantages of watermelon-like structures.

In this study, flexible CuxS-CNT/Ti counter electrodes (CEs) were prepared through successive ionic layer adsorption followed by reaction technique (SILAR). The electrocatalytic activities of the obtained CuxS-CNT/Ti CEs were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Tafel polarization measurements. The results indicated that the catalytic activities of CNT/Ti films significantly improved after deposition of CuxS nanoparticles. CuxS-CNT/Ti flexible CEs were then assembled with CdS and CdSe QDs co-sensitized TiO2 film electrodes to prepare simple QDSCs. The optimized QDSCs based on CuxS-CNT/Ti flexible CEs delivered photovoltaic conversion efficiencies reaching ca. 6.20%. These values were ca. 48.7% higher than those based on CNT/Ti CEs.

Hybrid ion capacitors, especially sodium ion capacitors (SICs), have recently attracted enormous attention due to their combined merits of high energy density from the battery-type anode and high power density from the capacitor-type cathode. However, achieving high-performance SICs to overcome the sluggish kinetic energy storage feature and inferior cycling stability of the battery-type anode remains a challenge. In this work, N-doped porous carbon embedded with ultrasmall titanium oxynitride nanoparticles (TiOxNy/C) was developed from metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). As the SIC anode, the as-designed TiOxNy/C exhibited a high reversible capacity (275 mA h g−1 at 50 mA g−1), ultrahigh rate capability, and superior cycling performance, which is attributed to the effective synergy between the ultrasmall TiOxNy nanoparticles and N-doped porous carbon. Furthermore, using a “two-for-one” strategy, N-doped hierarchical porous carbon (NHPC) with high surface area was prepared from TiOxNy/C by HF etching and displayed high specific capacity and rate capability when used as a SIC cathode. Considering the excellent electrochemical performances of both the anode and cathode, the as-assembled TiOxNy/C//NHPC SIC delivered a high energy density (80 W h kg−1) and high power density (4000 W kg−1).

In this paper, Ti/SnO2-Sb/Ce-PbO2 anode is electrodeposited from MSA bath, and the effect of Ce3+ concentration in bath on the phase composition and morphology of lead dioxide electrode is elucidated. It is found that with the addition of 2 mM Ce3+ ion to the bath the Ce-PbO2 anode exhibits highest stability in 0.5 M H2SO4, and cerium exists as Ce (IV) in the PbO2 film. The electrocatalytic activity of lead dioxide anode for phenol removal is slightly enhanced by the inclusion of Ce. The significant improvement in electrocatalytic activity can be achieved by the addition of small amount of Bi3+ ion to the bath containing Ce3+ ion. In this study, electrocatalytic activities of various anodes follow the order: Ce,Bi-PbO2 > Ce-PbO2 > undoped PbO2 > Bi-PbO2.

Background Two frequent problems associated with titanium (Ti) surfaces of bone/dental implants are their corrosion and lack of native tissue integration.Methods Here, we present an anodization-hydrothermal method for coating Ti surfaces with a layer of silicon (Si)- and strontium (Sr)-loaded titania nanotubes (TNs). The Ti surfaces coated with such a layer (Si–Sr-TNs) were characterized with different techniques.Results The results indicate that the Si4+ and Sr2+ ions were evenly incorporated into the TNs and that the Si–Sr-TN layer provides good protection against corrosive media like simulated body fluid. The excellent cytocompatibility of the coating was confirmed in vitro by the significant growth and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells.Conclusion Being easily and economically fabricated, the Si–Sr-TN surfaces may find their niche in clinical applications, thanks to their excellent biological activity and corrosion resistance.
