Mn/TiO 2 catalyst is a promising candidate for future utilization in low-temperature NH 3 -SCR reaction, but its bad resistance to SO 2 is still a great challenge for practical application. In this study, Eu was successfully used as the additive to improve its resistance to SO 2 under SCR conditions, while the pretreatment of Mn/TiO 2 and MnEu/TiO 2 catalyst by SO 2 + O 2 had a strong deactivation effect on them. In situ DRIFT study clarified that the deactivation of Mn/TiO 2 -S (SCR + SO 2 ), Mn/TiO 2 -S (SO 2 + O 2 ) and MnEu/TiO 2 -S (SO 2 +O 2 ) were mainly originated from the inhibited adsorption of NH 3 and NOx species, as well as the formation of a large amount surface sulfate species on them, which had a strong blacking effect on the SCR reactions over the three catalysts via both E-R and L-H routes. After the addition of Eu, SCR reaction over MnEu/TiO 2 catalyst with the existence of SO 2 took place through L-H pathway, accompanied by the generation of less surface sulfate species, which brought about the excellent SO 2 tolerance of MnEu/TiO 2 catalyst under SCR conditions.

Sorption of U(VI) onto TiO 2 as functions of pH, ionic strength, contact time, soil humic acid (SHA), solid-to-liquid ratio and temperature was studied under ambient conditions using batch and spectroscopic approaches. The sorption of U(VI) on TiO 2 was significantly dependent on pH and ionic strength. The presence of SHA slightly enhanced the sorption of U(VI) on TiO 2 below pH 4.0, while it inhibited U(VI) sorption in the higher pH range. U(VI) sorption on TiO 2 was favored at high temperatures, and the sorption process was estimated to be endothermic and spontaneous. Reduction of U(VI) to lower valent species was confirmed by X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy analysis. It is very interesting to find that U(VI) sorption on TiO 2 was promoted in solutions with higher back-ground electrolyte concentrations. In the presence of U(VI), higher back-ground electrolyte made more TiO 2 particles aggregate through (001) facets, leading more (101) facets to be exposed. Therefore, the reduction of U(VI) was enhanced by the exposed (101) facets and more U(VI) removal was observed.

An Intercalated heterostructural g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 /HNTs supported photocatalyst was successfully prepared via sol–gel and calcination methods. The introduction of HNTs and the g-C 3 N 4 -TiO 2 heterojunction effectively enhanced the charge transfer and separation efficiency of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, which endued the g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 /HNTs hybrid material with an outstanding photoelectric performance and good stability. And an obviously enhanced photocatalytic activity was exhibited by photodegrading ciprofloxacin compared with pure TiO 2 . Furthermore, the main active species were detected through trapping experiment and ESR spin-trap technique with DMPO, which confirmed that the O 2 − and the h + were the main active species in the photocatalytic system.

Co-Pi decorated TiO2@graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C3N4) nanorod arrays (denoted as CCNRs) with different mass ratios of g-C3N4 have been constructed on the FTO substrate through three processes, hydrothermal growth, chemical bath deposition and electrodeposition. First, TiO2 nanorod arrays were grown onto a FTO substrate by a hydrothermal method. Second, g-C3N4 was coated onto the TiO2 nanorod arrays by immersing the above substrate with TiO2 nanorod arrays into a solution of urea and then heated at higher temperature. In this procedure, the amount of the g-C3N4 on the TiO2 nanorod arrays can be controlled by tuning the concentration of the urea solution. At last, Co-Pi were decorated on the surface of the TiO2@g-C3N4 by electrodeposition. The as-prepared CCNRs were characterized by XRD, FESEM, TEM, XPS, UV–vis, and FTIR, respectively, which illustrated that Co-Pi moieties were successfully decorated on the hybrid TiO2@g-C3N4 nanorod arrays. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) measurements have demonstrated that the prepared CCNRs serve as an efficient and stable photoanode for PEC seawater splitting. The photocurrent density reaches 1.6 mA/cm2 under 100 mW/cm2 (AM1.5G) light illumination at 1.23 V (RHE). More significantly, the CCNRs photoanode is quite stable during seawater splitting and the performance remain undiminished even after 10 h continuous illumination. Finally, a systematical photocatalytic mechanism of the Co-Pi decorated TiO2@g-C3N4 was proposed, and it can be considered as potential explanation of enhanced PEC performance.

In this paper, heterojunction semiconductors of Sb-SnO2/TiO2 were prepared with varying molar ratios of Sb-SnO2 to TiO2. The separation efficiency of the photogenerated carriers was characterised by the surface photovoltage (SPV) technique, and the trap density was measured by an electrochemical method. The trap density was measured to be 7·48×1016, 6·01×1016, 5·43×1016, and 6·61×1016 cm−2 for TiO2 and Sb-SnO2/TiO2 films with molar ratios of 1, 2, and 3%, respectively. The SPV enhancement was estimated to be 1, 1·36, 7·64, and 6·36 for TiO2 and Sb-SnO2/TiO2 films with molar ratios of 1, 2, and 3%, respectively. The results indicate that SPV enhancement increases with decreasing trap density, which demonstrates that the trap density is an important factor affecting the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers in heterojunction semiconductors.

A one-step hydrothermal method, followed by calcination at 300 °C in an argon atmosphere, has been developed to synthesize TiO2-B nanoparticles/double-walled nanotubes (NP/DWNT) and TiO2-B nanoparticles/multiple-walled nanotubes (NP/MWNT). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first synthesis of TiO2-B NP/NT hierarchical structures. Both NP/DWNT and NP/MWNT show high performance as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, superior to their counterparts of DWNT and MWNT, respectively. Among all the four materials studied herein, NP/DWNT demonstrates the highest discharge–charge capacity, rate capability, and cycling stability. The enhancement due to the NP loading results from the increased surface areas, the improved kinetics, and the decreased transport distance for both electrons and Li ions. The charge capacity at high rates lies in the intercalation pseudocapacitance originating from fast Li-ion transport through the infinite channels in TiO2-B. The superiority of DWNT materials versus MWNT materials is ascribed to the thinner walls, which provide a shorter distance for Li-ion transport through the radial direction.

Novel multifunctional porous titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles modified with polyethylenimine (PEI) were developed to explore the feasibility of exploiting the photocatalytic property of titanium dioxide to achieve ultraviolet (UV) light triggered drug release. Additionally, in order to further realize targeting delivery, folic acid , which chemically conjugated to the surface of the functionalized multifunctional porous TiO 2 nanoparticles through amide linkage with free amine groups of PEI, was used as a cancer-targeting agent to effectively promote cancer-cell-specific uptake through receptor-mediated endocytosis . And a typical poorly water-soluble anti-cancer drug, paclitaxel, was encapsulated in multifunctional porous TiO 2 nanoparticles. The PEI on the surface of multifunctional porous TiO 2 nanoparticles could effectively block the channel to prevent premature drug release, thus providing enough circulation time to target cancer cells. Following UV light radiation, PEI molecules on the surface were cut off by the free radicals (OH and O 2 −) that TiO 2 produced, and then the drug loaded in the carrier was released rapidly into the cytoplasm. Importantly, the amount of drug released from multifunctional porous TiO 2 nanoparticles can be regulated by the UV-light radiation time to further control the anti-cancer effect. This multifunctional porous TiO 2 nanoparticle exhibits a combination of stimuli-triggered drug release and cancer cell targeting. The authors believe that the present study will provide important information for the use of porous TiO 2 nanomaterials in light-controlled drug release and targeted therapy.

A unique hierarchical architecture of ZnS–In 2 S 3 solid solution nanostructures onto TiO 2 nanofibers (TiO 2 @ZnS–In 2 S 3 ) has been successfully fabricated by simple hydrothermal method. The ZnS–In 2 S 3 solid solution nanostructures exhibit a diversity of morphologies: nanosheet, nanorod and nanoparticle. The porous TiO 2 nanofiber templates effectively inhibit the aggregation growth of ZnS–In 2 S 3 solid solution. The formation of ZnS–In 2 S 3 solid solution is proved by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the intimate contact between TiO 2 nanofibers and ZnS–In 2 S 3 solid solution favors fast transfer of photogenerated electrons. The trinary TiO 2 @ZnS–In 2 S 3 heterostructures exhibit high adsorption capacity and visible light photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B dye (RhB), remarkably superior to pure TiO 2 nanofibers or binary structures (ZnS/TiO 2 nanofibers, In 2 S 3 /TiO 2 nanofibers and ZnS–In 2 S 3 solid solution). Under visible light irradiation the RhB photocatalytic degradation rate over TiO 2 @ZnS–In 2 S 3 heterostructures is about 16.7, 12.5, 6.3, 5.9, and 2.2 times that over pure TiO 2 nanofibers, ZnS nanoparticles, In 2 S 3 /TiO 2 nanofibers, ZnS/TiO 2 nanofibers, and ZnS-In 2 S 3 solid solution, respectively. Furthermore, the TiO 2 @ZnS–In 2 S 3 heterostructures show highly stable recycling performance.

The exploration of advanced catalyst supports is a promising route to obtain electrocatalysts with high activity and durability. Herein, the nitrogen-doped graphitized carbon/TiO 2 composite was fabricated and explored as support for the Pt catalyst. The composite support was constructed by carbonization of polypyrrole/TiO 2 using cobalt nitrate and nickel nitrate as graphitizing catalysts. The resulting catalyst shows enhanced electrocatalytic performance for methanol electrooxidation compared with the commercial Pt/C catalyst. The enhancement can be ascribed to combinatory effect of N-doped graphitized carbon and TiO 2 , in which the tolerance to CO-poisoning and the intrinsic kinetics of methanol oxidation reaction were simultaneously improved by the bifunctional effect and the modification of the electronic structure. As a result, the as-developed nitrogen-doped graphitized carbon/TiO 2 composite present attractive advantages for the application in fuel cell electrocatalyst.

The formation of heterojunctions is an efficient strategy to extend the light response range of TiO2-based catalysts to the visible light region. In addition to the bandgap edge match between the narrow bandgap semiconductors and the TiO2 substrate, a stable phase interface between the sensitiser and TiO2 is crucial for the construction of heterojunctions, since it acts as a tunnel for the efficient transfer of photogenerated charges. Herein, the coincidence site density (1/Σ) of graphite-like carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanoflakes and two types of TiO2 nanofibres [anatase and TiO2(B)] was calculated by near coincidence site lattice (NCSL) theory. It was found that the coincidence site density of g-C3N4 and TiO2(B) nanofibre with an exposed (001) plane is 3 times of that of the g-C3N4 and anatase nanofibre with exposed (100) plane. This indicated that the g-C3N4 nanoflakes are more favoured to form stable heterojunctions with TiO2(B) nanofibres. As expected, a stable phase interface was formed between the plane of (22–40) of g-C3N4 and the plane (110) of TiO2(B) which had same d-spacing of 0.35 nm and the same orientation. Under visible light irradiation, the photogenerated electrons could efficiently migrate to the TiO2(B) nanofibres from the g-C3N4 through the heterojunctions. So the g-C3N4/TiO2(B) system exhibited better photodegradation ability for sulforhodamine B (SRB) dye than the g-C3N4/anatase system, although the photoactivity of the anatase nanofibres was much better than that of the TiO2(B) nanofibres.

Combining hydrothermal treatment and photocatalytic deposition, W 6+ doping TiO 2 composites modified with Au nanoparticles (Au/W–TiO 2 ) were synthesized successfully. A series of characterization techniques including X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and N 2 adsorption indicated that the Au nanoparticles are distributed homogeneously on the W 6+ doping TiO 2 clusters with mesoporous structures. The photocatalytic properties of the Au/W–TiO 2 nanocomposites were evaluated through the photodegradation of organic dye in aqueous solution and characterized in detail by UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectra and PL fluorescence spectra. Compared with the three samples of pristine TiO 2 , W 6+ doping TiO 2 and Au/TiO 2 , the resulting Au/W–TiO 2 nanocomposites exhibited an enhanced photocatalytic performance for degradation of contaminant under simulated solar light and visible light irradiation. Under simulated solar light irradiation (duration: 15 min), 84.6%, 77.8%, 67.8% and 47.6% of organic dye was decomposed by Au/W–TiO 2 , Au/TiO 2 , W–TiO 2 and bare TiO 2 , respectively. Furthermore, the degradation rate of organic dye is 98%, 90%, 76%, and 62% for Au/W–TiO 2 , Au/TiO 2 , W–TiO 2 and pure TiO 2 under visible light irradiation for 90 min, respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic activity is attributed to the synergetic effects of W 6+ doping and Au modification, which can effectively improve the light absorption intensity and, the range, increase the adsorption active sites and reduce the electron–hole pair recombination in TiO 2 .

A new aqueous sol was synthesized to prepare Ag-doped TiO 2 /Ti composite tight ultrafiltration (UF) membranes. This sol was prepared based on water (>95 wt%), for which the hydrodynamic size of 8 nm could be obtained by tuning the electrostatic and steric repulsive forces, breaking the limit of the polymeric sol–gel method to prepare tight UF membranes. For the preparation of the sol, high water content can significantly reduce the use of organic solvents and is more environment-benign. Moreover, Ag doping can considerably improve the toughness of the supported membranes to efficiently prevent the TiO 2 /Ti composite membranes from cracking and overcome the thermal expansion mismatch of ceramic membranes and their metallic supports. The prepared Ag-doped TiO 2 /Ti composite membranes presented a molecular weight cut-off of 3 kDa with a pure water flux of 24 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 and exhibited good dye removal capabilities. The proposed Ag doping method has considerable potential for the fabrication of integrated hybrid ceramic–metallic composite membranes.
