TiO 2 is one of the most cheap materials which can both adsorb arsenic and oxidize arsenite [As(III)] to arsenate [As(V)]. In this study, anatase TiO 2 crystals with different main facets such as {101}, {001} and {100} are synthesized and used to investigate arsenic adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms, photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) process and the pH effects. The adsorption kinetics of arsenic on TiO 2 crystals can be described by the pseudo second-order kinetic model. For the adsorption isotherms, the Langmuir model is better than the Freundlich model for arsenic on these TiO 2 crystals. For the PCO process, the rate of As(III) oxidation can be denoted by the pseudo first-order kinetic model. It should be noted that at neutral condition the adsorption and PCO rates of the three kinds of TiO 2 crystals follow the order of {101} > {001} > {100}. The pH effect is above all important for both the arsenic adsorption and its PCO. The highest PCO speed appears at high pH values such as at pH 11 or 12.

Narrowing the band gap and increasing the photodegradation efficiency of TiO2-based photocatalysts are very important for their wide application in environment-related fields such as photocatalytic degradation of toxic pollutants in wastewater. Herein, a three-dimensionally ordered macroporous Pt-loaded TiO2photocatalyst (3DOM Pt/TiO2) has been successfully synthesized using a facile colloidal crystal-template method. The resultant composite combines several morphological/structural advantages, including uniform 3D ordered macroporous skeletons, high crystallinity, large porosity and an internal electric field formed at Pt/TiO2interfaces. These unique features enable the 3DOM Pt/TiO2to possess a large surface for photocatalytic reactions and fast diffusion for mass transfer of reactants as well as efficient suppression of recombination for photogenerated electron-hole pairs in TiO2. Thus, the 3DOM Pt/TiO2exhibits significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity. Typically, 88% of RhB can be degraded over the 3DOM Pt/TiO2photocatalyst under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm) within 100 min, much higher than that of the commercial TiO2nanoparticles (only 37%). The underlying mechanism for the enhanced photocatalytic activity of 3DOM Pt/TiO2has been further analyzed based on energy band theory and ascribed to the formation of Schottky-type Pt/TiO2junctions. The proposed method herein can provide new references for further improving the photocatalytic efficiency of other photocatalysts via rational structural/morphological engineering.Keywords:3D ordered macropores;TiO2;Pt loading;photocatalysis;Schottky junction

We present the work about the initiative fabrication of multi-scale hierarchical TiO 2-x by our strategy, combining high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) reactive sintering with appropriate ratio of coarse Ti to nanosized TiO 2 . Ubiquitous lattice defects engineering has also been achieved in our samples by HPHT. The thermoelectric performance was significantly enhanced, and rather low thermal conductivity (1.60 W m −1 K −1 ) for titanium oxide was reported here for TiO 1.76 . Correspondingly, a high dimensionless figure of merit ( zT ) up to 0.33 at 700 °C was realized in it. As far as we know, this value is an enhancement of 43% of the ever best result about nonstoichiometric TiO 2 and the result is also exciting for oxide thermoelectric materials. The moderate power factor, the significantly reduced thermal conductivity and the remarkable synergy between electrical properties and thermal conductivity are responsible for the excellent thermoelectric performance. We develop a facile strategy for preparing multi-scale hierarchical TiO 2-x and its superior ability to optimize thermoelectric performance has been demonstrated here.

With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the removal of nitrogen-containing compounds (NCCs) from gasoline fuel has become a more and more important research subject. In this work, we have successfully synthesized TiO 2 /α-Fe 2 O 3 heterogeneous photocatalysts with different mass ratios of TiO 2
vs . α-Fe 2 O 3 . Taking photocatalytic denitrification of typical alkali NCCs, pyridine, in gasoline fuel under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm) as the model reaction, the TiO 2 /α-Fe 2 O 3 hybrids have exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity compared with pure TiO 2 and α-Fe 2 O 3 , giving a pyridine removal ratio of ∼ 100% after irradiation for 240 min. The improved photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the integrative effect of the enhanced light absorption intensity and more efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Importantly, this type of heterogeneous photocatalysts can be easily separate in the reaction medium by an external magnetic field that is very important for industrial purpose. In addition, major reaction intermediates have been identified by the liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer (HPLC-MS) and a tentative photocatalytic denitrification mechanism has been proposed.

In this present study, a novel indirect Z-scheme TiO 2 @g-C 3 N 4 @biochar (TiO 2 @g-C 3 N 4 @BC) composite photocatalyst was successfully fabricated and characterized with SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, FTIR, PL, XPS, and UV–vis DRS. The photocatalytic degradation behavior of ciprofloxacin (CIP) on the TiO 2 @g-C 3 N 4 @BC was evaluated under UV–vis and visible light irradiation, and the possible reaction mechanism of photocatalytic oxidation of CIP on the TiO 2 @g-C 3 N 4 @BC was explained. The TiO 2 @g-C 3 N 4 @BC composite photocatalyst exhibited stronger photocatalytic oxidation activity for CIP in comparison with TiO 2 , g-C 3 N 4 , TiO 2 @BC, and TiO 2 @g-C 3 N 4 . After 60 min of UV–vis and visible light irradiation, the photocatalytic removal efficiency of CIP by TiO 2 @g-C 3 N 4 @BC was 99.3 and 89.2%, respectively. The photocatalytic removal performance of CIP was affected by the initial concentration of CIP, catalyst dosage, and pH value. The composite photocatalyst presented excellent stability and reusability after five cycles. An indirect Z-scheme principle of the CIP photocatalytic oxidation reaction on TiO 2 @g-C 3 N 4 @BC was clearly proposed, and the whole process of photocatalytic degradation was the results of the interaction between CIP and reactive active species (·O 2 − , h + , and ·OH), of which ·O 2 − is the main active substance. Four CIP degradation pathways were proposed. This work may provide an effective strategy to remove antibiotics in wastewater.

Electrophoretic deposition is employed to deposit flower-like TiO 2 (F-TiO 2 ) particles onto stainless steel textiles to obtain a Fe@F-TiO 2 /PDMS hybrid textile as the negative tribo-material. The electrophoresis process enables adjustable deposit amounts and three-dimensional and uniform deposits of flower TiO 2 . The textile triboelectric nanogenerators (tTENGs) fabricated from the Fe@F-TiO 2 /PDMS hybrid textile working in conjunction with cotton and silk exhibit excellent performances. The tTENG generates a voltage of 120 V, a current of 25 μA and an output power of 0.85 W m −2 with the cotton and 110 V, 30 μA and 1.05 W m −2 with the silk. The flower-like TiO 2 is significant for the high performance of the tTENG, being attributed to the tailored surface and improved permittivity. Wearable tTENGs exhibit good durability after 8,000 cycles and power 58 light emitting diodes. By utilizing the worn tTENG, real-time biomechanical energy harvesting is realized; furthermore, a wireless communication via infrared rays is achieved, confirmed by the successfully receiving of the wireless signal and lighting up of the indicator LED. This work demonstrates high-performance hybrid textiles prepared by electrophoretic deposition and tTENGs for applications in wearable real-time energy harvesters and wireless communication units.

The performance of many supported metal catalysts is markedly enhanced by promoters. Here, we demonstrate the introduction of Mo into TiO 2 -supported IrMo catalysts greatly boosts the 3-vinylaniline (3-VA) selectivity of the hydrogenation of 3-nitrostyrene (3-NS). With the rise of Mo component in IrMo/TiO 2 catalysts, the Ir that activate H 2 are surrounded by more Mo species and become more oxidized, which prevents flat adsorption of 3-NS on Ir; meanwhile, Mo(V) species that are favorable for activation of nitro group of 3-NS increase, thus the synergistic effect affords excellent 3-VA selectivity. The optimal catalyst 1Ir9Mo/TiO 2 displays 99.8% selectivity of 3-VA at a 100% conversion. It also shows good recyclability and universality in selectively reducing unsaturated nitroarenes to corresponding anillines with exceptional selectivity.

With the widespread popularity of digital technology, electromagnetic interference(EMI) has become a new type of pollution that endangers electronic equipment and biological systems. In this paper, MWCNTs@TiO 2 composite materials were prepared by the hydrothermal synthesis method and then added into the three dimensional framework constructed by PAM (polyacrylamide) and PEG (polyethylene glycol) to obtain hydrogels with EMI functionality. It was found that in the M@T/PAM-4 (MWCNTs@TiO 2 /PAM-4) hydrogel, due to the fact that TiO 2 particles were loaded on the surface of MWCNTs, its cross section presented a granular shape. As the content of MWCNTs increased, the EMI SE T of the hydrogel increased, with the M@T/PAM-4 hydrogel reaching 29 dB. The electrical conductivity and mechanical properties also increased accordingly. Compared with the pure PAM hydrogel, they were respectively improved by 626 % and 24.5 %, which was attributed to the formation of a conductive network by MWCNTs and the enhancement of interfacial polarization, etc. Meanwhile, the water retention rate of the M@T/PAM-4 hydrogel could still reach 34.1 % after 8 h. Moreover, it also had a relatively high water content of 69.08 %. Therefore, This improves the application value and development prospects of the hydrogel in fields such as Electromagnetic (EM) shielding.

It is an efficient strategy to extend the light response range of TiO2-based photocatalysts to visible light region by constructing heterojunctions with the low bandgap semiconductors. The bandgap edge match between the low bandgap semiconductors and the TiO2 substrate
is believed to a key to sensitize the TiO2-based photocatalysts. In this study, TiO2 (anatase) nanofibers were modified by ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles from ZnO colloid. The ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles with a relatively narrow band gap of
1.90 eV and the conduction band edge at –1.54 eV (vs NHE) which is more negative than that of TiO2. So as expected, the ZnFe2O4 particles extended the photoresponse of TiO2 (anatase) nanofibers into the visible light region and enhanced the
photoresponse of UV light. The photogenerated electron–hole separation in ZnFe2O4/TiO2 (anatase) composite nanofibers is responsible for the rapidly increased photocurrent under the visible light and UV light irradiation.

Low charge separation efficiency ( η sep ) of TiO 2 impedes its applications of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. A positive potential pretreatment approach has been developed to construct a surface polarization with −OH groups at a potential of 1.48 V RHE . When the pretreatment time of 6 h is used, the η sep and photocurrent density ( J ph ) reach up to 54% (vs. 24%, TiO 2 ) and 0.92 mA cm −2 (vs. 0.32 mA cm −2 , TiO 2 ) under AM 1.5 G illumination, respectively. The photovoltage can be increased from 0.17 V to 0.52 V. When the pretreatment time is extended to 22 h, a higher J ph of 1.57 mA cm −2 and η sep of 87% can be obtained. Furthermore, the positive potential pretreated TiO 2 possesses excellent PEC stability. The PEC improvements can be attributed to the surface polarization with the −OH groups and favorable surface states of Ti-OH, but not to the formation of Ti 3+ or oxygen vacancies.

Reducing the greenhouse gas CO2 in the atmosphere and converting it into high-value-added syngas is regarded as a competitive strategy in line with green and sustainable development. Herein, a series of M/TiO2 (M = Cu, Co, Ni) catalysts were developed for photothermal CO2 reduction with bioethanol, and the synergistic mechanism between photocatalysis and thermocatalysis was deeply investigated. Systematic characteristics and photothermal ethanol dry reforming (EDR) testing results revealed the relevancy between catalytic behavior and microstructure properties of TiO2-supported catalysts. Notably, the Ni/TiO2 catalyst displayed superior catalytic behavior than Cu/TiO2 and Co/TiO2 counterparts, which mainly attributed to their abundant oxygen vacancies and stronger Ni–TiO2 interaction. In addition, both the narrower band gap and higher light absorption ability directly promoted the Ni/TiO2 catalyst possessing outstanding ethanol conversion (94.5%) and controllable H2/CO ratio (0.65) at 450 °C. Furthermore, the relatively less activation energy also determined that the Ni/TiO2 sample possessed the fastest kinetic progression in the EDR process. Therefore, the Ni/TiO2 catalyst exhibited the better photothermal catalytic activity compared with other 2 samples. We anticipate that photothermal synergy would offer good technical guidance to promote the conversion and utilization of greenhouse gas CO2 under relatively low temperature environment.

This study develops the Ni–Fe–P–TiO 2 nanocomposite coatings via an electroless deposition process. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to determine the coating structures. Hardness and wear tests were conducted to measure the coating’s mechanical performance, and polarization curves were recorded to evaluate the corrosion behavior. The results show that the TiO 2 nanoparticles are incorporated into the coatings. The proper addition of TiO 2 refines the coating surface morphology without changing the coating phase constituents. The best mechanical and corrosion performance is obtained for the 0.5-g/L modified Ni–Fe–P–TiO 2 sample, owing to its compact surface feature and well-dispersed TiO 2 nanoparticles.
