Hydrogen cyanide (HCN), a common toxic and hazardous air pollutant in industrial exhaust, catalytic hydrolysis of HCN has been the focus of air pollution control research. In this study, a catalyst material (La-TiO 2 ) with high catalytic hydrolysis activity for HCN was obtained by loading La 2 O 3 on the TiO 2 surface, which could realize the complete conversion of HCN at 150 °C with high selectivity of NH 3 and CO 2 . The relevant characterization confirms that La 2 O 3 can be uniformly distributed on the TiO 2 , which can adjust the acid-base structure of the catalyst surface and induce the generation of multi-hydroxyl structures in TiO 2 . On this basis, the combination of in-situ technique and density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that the loading of La 2 O 3 prompted the La-TiO 2 catalyst to activate H 2 O to generate surface hydroxyl groups (-OH), which further enriched the hydroxyl groups on TiO 2 and substantially improved the hydrolysis activity and NH 3 selectivity of the catalyst. And the study confirms that the hydroxyl-rich environment easy combine with the reaction intermediate (formic acid) to generate CO 2 and H 2 O, which accelerated the reaction rate, thus improving the conversion efficiency of HCN and lowering the catalytic conversion temperature. In addition, O 2 can continuously consume the remaining hydrogen atoms after the dissociation of H 2 O to generate hydroxyl groups again, thus effective enhancing catalyst stability. This study provides new theoretical support for the catalytic hydrolysis of HCN and new insights and ideas for the design and development of catalysts for the catalytic hydrolysis of HCN.

g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 photocatalysts were in-situ synthesized via a straightforward high-temperature calcination method and used to activate persulfate (PS) to degrade indole under different light irradiation. The prepared g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 photocatalysts were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, BET, XPS, FTIR, and photocurrent response analysis. The CNT 1:5 (mass ratio of g-C 3 N 4 to TiO 2 of 1:5) and CNT 24:1 (mass ratio of g-C 3 N 4 to TiO 2 of 24:1) showed the best performance in degradation of indole solution under UV and visible light, respectively. Free radical quenching experiments and band structure analysis determined that the UV/CNT 1:5 and PS-Vis/CNT 24:1 systems followed an S-scheme and type-II transfer mechanism, respectively. A detailed analysis using GC-MS revealed the indole's intermediate products and proposed the indole's degradation pathway. Furthermore, using natural water matrices, the removal of other typical organic compounds, including quinoline, pyridine, and phenol, was investigated in the UV/CNT 1:5 and PS-Vis/CNT 24:1 systems. The results of this study promote the application of g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 composites as organic degradation catalysts, reflecting the potential of composite materials in the removal of toxic organic compounds in coal chemical wastewater.

The investigation of nonlinear optical (NLO) properties is crucial for the effective application of CsPbI3/TiO2 nanocomposites in NLO devices. The CsPbI3/TiO2 nanocomposites were synthesized by a hot injection method. Then, the CsPbI3/TiO2 nanocomposites were poured into methyl methacrylate via polymerization to fabricate CsPbI3/TiO2/PMMA organic glasses (OGs). The crystal structure and size morphology of the CsPbI3/TiO2 nanocomposites were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The nonlinear absorption (NLA), nonlinear refraction (NLR), and optical limiting (OL) properties of the CsPbI3/TiO2/PMMA OGs were investigated by using the Z-scan technique, employing a nanosecond pulse laser operating at a wavelength of 532 nm. The CsPbI3/PMMA and CsPbI3/TiO2/PMMA OGs can be transferred from saturable absorption (SA) to reverse saturable absorption (RSA) by varying the incident energy. In addition, the CsPbI3/TiO2/PMMA OGs exhibit superior NLA, NLR, and OL performances compared to the CsPbI3/PMMA OG and other halide-based perovskites. The enhanced nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of CsPbI3/TiO2/PMMA OGs can be ascribed to the cooperative interaction between CsPbI3 and TiO2. In summary, the results indicate that CsPbI3/TiO2 nanocomposites possess substantial potential for applications in NLO devices such as optical limiters, optical switches, and optical modulators.

A novel TiO2–CsPbBr3(Q) photocatalyst is proposed and rationally constructed, where CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs) of various sizes inside mesopore TiO2 (M-TiO2) are integrated. These perovskite QDs, generated in situ within M-TiO2, establish a type-II homojunction. Interestingly, a Z-scheme heterojunction is simultaneously formed at the interface between CsPbBr3 and TiO2. Due to the coexistence of the type-II homojunction and the Z-scheme heterojunction, photogenerated electrons are effectively transferred from TiO2 to CsPbBr3, thereby suppressing carrier recombination and thus enhancing the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB). Compared with pure CsPbBr3 and TiO2, TiO2–CsPbBr3(Q) shows significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance for RhB degradation. The degradation efficiency of RhB in the presence of the TiO2–CsPbBr3(Q) attains 97.7% in 5 min under light illumination, representing the highest efficiency observed among photocatalysts based on TiO2. This study will facilitate the development of superior semiconductor catalysts for photocatalytic applications.

Antibiotic pollution has posed environmental risks, and the crucial point lies in the elimination efficiency of antibiotics from wastewater. Herein, a ternary-structured B-TiO 2 /Bi 2 S 3 /PCs (photonic crystals) film, in which B-TiO 2 was a blend of anatase and rutile crystalline phases, was fabricated to evaluate the efficiency of antibiotic photodegradation under visible light irradiation. The synthesized B-TiO 2 (80 %)/Bi 2 S 3 /PCs(458) film exhibited superior photocatalytic efficiency of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC), with a degradation rate 7.56 times greater than that of pristine B-TiO 2 . These findings are closely related to the excellent photoelectron separation of the heterojunction between B-TiO 2 and Bi 2 S 3 , as well as the bandgap reflection effect and light localization effect of the PCs . Notably, the B-TiO 2 (80 %)/Bi 2 S 3 /PCs(458) film also displayed favourable degradation performance for ofloxacin (OFLX) and ciprofloxacin (CIP), with degradation rates of 83.98 % and 72.79 %, respectively. Active species trapping experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements revealed superoxide radicals (•O 2 − ) and photogenerated holes (h + ) as the main active species. Furthermore, potential photodegradation pathways were proposed by analyzing the degradation intermediates of TC and OFLX via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC–MS). In a word, the B-TiO 2 (80 %)/Bi 2 S 3 /PCs(458) film exhibited high efficiency in the treatment of antibiotic pollutants, thereby offering promising prospects for practical application.

Superhydrophobic coatings with high non-wetting properties are widely applied in anti-icing applications. However, the micro-nanostructures on the surfaces of superhydrophobic coatings are fragile under external forces, resulting in reduced durability. Therefore, mechanical strength and durability play a crucial role in the utilization of superhydrophobic materials. In this study, we employed a two-step spraying method to fabricate superhydrophobic FEVE-based coatings with exceptional mechanical durability, utilizing fluorinated TiO 2 nanoparticles and fluorinated Al 2 O 3 microwhiskers as the fillers. The composite coating exhibited commendable non-wetting properties, displaying a contact angle of 164.84° and a sliding angle of 4.3°. On this basis, the stability of coatings was significantly improved due to the interlocking effect of Al 2 O 3 whiskers. After 500 tape peeling cycles, 500 sandpaper abrasion tests, and 50 kg falling sand impact tests, the coatings retained superhydrophobicity, exhibiting excellent durability and application capability. Notably, the ice adhesion strength on the coatings was measured at only 65.4 kPa, while the icing delay time reached 271.8 s at -15 °C. In addition, throughout 500 freezing/melting cycles, statistical analysis revealed that the superhydrophobic coatings exhibited a freezing initiation temperature as low as -17.25 °C.

Metal nanoparticles (MNPs) stand out owing to conspicuous catalytic activity, optical and electromagnetic properties, with applications ranging from photocatalysis to biosensor and photoelectric devices. Although photocatalysis with TiO 2 has emerged as a promising technique for preparing MNPs, the low photocatalytic efficiency of TiO 2 limits its practical utilization. Herein, a rapid photoreduction approach is presented to prepare MNPs under UV and visible light based on polydopamine (PDA)/TiO 2 composite surface. It found that the PDA-modified TiO 2 substrate can greatly enhance the photocatalytic efficiency and stability of MNPs, leading to rapid and highly-controllable preparation of MNPs. By this method, various Ag, Au, and Pd patterns with controllable metallization degree can be easily fabricated. In addition, the substrate can be effectively recycled through rapid photobleaching. This method will have a promising future in the preparation of MNPs for various applications.

The intensification of industrial production has led to a sharp increase in the discharge of toxic organic chemicals and wastewater from printing and dyeing industry. In this study, flower-like ZnO modified TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 T x composites (ZnO/TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 T x ) were prepared by in-situ oxidation solvothermal method from zinc nitrate hexahydrate and tetramethylammonium hydroxide intercalated Ti 3 C 2 T x . During the solvothermal processes, sodium hydroxide acted as an etchant to further exfoliated the accordion-like Ti 3 C 2 T x into single or few-layer; and at the same time, TiO 2 was formed in-situ on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 T x with simultaneous deposition of flower-like ZnO. The layer structural Ti 3 C 2 T x facilitates the loading and dispersion of ZnO and TiO 2 on its surface. After the in-situ oxidation by solvothermal method, TiO 2 was evenly distributed on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 T x , adjusting the functional groups on the surface of the ZnO/TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 T x composite, and improving its adsorption performance. ZnO/TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 T x can be used as an efficient adsorbent for malachite green with a high maximum adsorption capacity of 1232.7 mg g −1 , which is higher than that of TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 T x (628.57 mg g −1 ). Moreover, a superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic ZnO/TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 T x @PU sponge was prepared by loading ZnO/TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 T x onto polyurethane (PU) sponge. The introduction of ZnO enhances the surface roughness of the ZnO/TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 T x @PU sponge, which can effectively separate six oil-water mixtures, and has a high separation flux of 171784 L m −2 h −1 and separation efficiency of 99.6% for cyclohexane-water mixture.

Immobilization of nanometer-scale photocatalysts on a 3D polymeric substrate could play several complementary roles in photocatalysis, such as providing mechanical stability, facilitating easy recycling after usage, enhancing adsorption capability, and improving light harvesting properties through multiple reflections. To achieve stable and efficient photocatalysis under weak light conditions, 3D cellulose micro-rolls were introduced into the photocatalytic composites. Here, the formation of micro-rolls is attributed to the presence of titania nanoparticles, which generate uneven shrinkage stress in cellulose during the freeze-drying process, thereby inducing the cellulose to curl up. The dramatic structural transformation of the 3D micro-rolls increased the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of the sample. The 3D micro-roll structure is more favorable for photocatalysis due to its efficient mass transfer and exposed reactive sites, laying the foundation for enhanced adsorption capacity and photocatalytic reactions. The adsorption experiments suggested that the inner space of the micro-rolls provides a sufficient reaction zone, enabling fast mass transfer of molecules and easy access to the active sites. The samples could stand a high strain of 80 % and retain 96 % of the original maximum stress after 200 cyclic compressions, indicating excellent long-term stability. In addition, the photocatalytic tests show that with the help of micro-rolls, TiO 2 can convert and utilize weak light that would otherwise be unused, and the catalysate exhibits almost no toxicity towards Escherichia coli .

Hierarchically porous photocatalysts exhibit superior light-harvesting capacity and enhanced photocatalytic activity. In this work, a facile method by combining additive manufacturing (AM) and dealloying was employed to prepare a hierarchically porous photocatalyst, namely, nanoporous-TiO2-encapsulating macroporous-double-gyroid-structure photocatalyst (TiO2@DGS). It was found that TiO2@DGS possessed deterministic macropores and interconnected nanopores, which offered efficient mass transfer channels and abundant active sites, respectively. Thus, TiO2@DGS showed excellent photocatalytic capability under ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) light irradiation and achieved a tetracycline degradation efficiency of over 90% within 60 min (photocatalytic rate constant k = 4.0 × 10–2 min–1). Furthermore, TiO2@DGS exhibited excellent durability and reusability due to its stable three-dimensional structures. This work not only exemplifies the high performance of the prepared TiO2@DGS for environmental remediation but also provides an innovative approach to introduce tailored macrostructures into hierarchically porous photocatalysts through the incorporation of AM and dealloying.

Despite the potential of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) in treating malignant tumors, the lack of effective sonosensitizers has limited its clinical implementation. In this study, we explored the relationship between the heteroatom doping concentration in metal–organic frameworks and interface formation after pyrolysis by regulating the addition of manganese sources and successfully derived Z-scheme heterojunctions MnxOy/(A/R)TiO2 (MTO) in situ from MIL-125-NH2 (Ti/Mn). The electron transfer pathway introduced by interfacial contact promoted carrier separation and greatly preserved the effective redox components, significantly influencing the performance of reactive oxygen species generation. Upon reaching the tumor sites, MTO effectively depleted glutathione to alleviate the suppressive tumor environment, and the heterojunctions and MnxOy in MTO facilitated SDT and synergistic chemodynamic therapy (CDT), respectively, leading to enhanced immunogenic cell death (ICD). Furthermore, Mn2+ uptake by dendritic cells (DCs) and the tumor-associated antigens released due to ICD activated the stimulator of interferon genes pathway, which elicited a robust tumor-specific immune response by driving the maturation of DCs and the activation of T cells. In addition, the activated T cells secreted high levels of interferon-γ to enhance Mn3+/Mn2+-mediated ferroptosis in metastatic tumor cells. The combination of MTO-mediated synergistic therapy and PD-L1 checkpoint blockade exhibited vaccine-like functions, inducing stronger systemic immunity and durable immune memory to inhibit tumor progression, metastasis, and recurrence. To summarize, we synthesized a self-enhancing nanoplatform for synergistic SDT/CDT/immunotherapy using multifunctional MOF-derived Z-scheme heterojunctions. This study provides an experimental basis for amplifying the potential of sonosensitizers while optimizing SDT-mediated systemic immunity while avoiding interference caused by additional adjuvants.
