Graphical Quick recharge : Hierarchically structured TiO 2 /micron carbon fibers composites composed of well-defined nanowires are fabricated through a straightforward impregnation−calcination process. Owing to its unique features, the material delivers an excellent cycling stability with 92 % capacity retention after 5000 cycles at a high current density of 2000 mA g −1 , highlighting its great potential for ultralong, fast, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Long-life lithium-ion batteries require materials with well-designed and controlled structures on nanometer and micrometer scales. Therefore, the hierarchically structured TiO 2 /micron carbon fibers composites (TiO 2 /MCFs) composed of well-defined nanowires are fabricated through a straightforward impregnation-calcination process. The unique features, including hierarchically mesoporous micro-/nanostructures, large specific surface area, and high electrical conductivity endow the TiO 2 /MCFs with convenient lithium-ion and electron diffusion channels and effective stress−strain relief during repeated electrochemical reaction process. As anticipated, TiO 2 /MCFs deliver an excellent cycling stability with 92 % capacity retention after 5000 cycles at high current density of 2000 mA g −1 , highlighting the great potential for long-life and fast-charging lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract A new magnetic Ag 3 PO 4 –TiO 2 –Fe 2 O 3 photocatalyst (Ag–Ti–Fe) has been synthesized by a solid-state blending method. The sample was analyzed by XRD, FT-IR, and VSM, and its photocatalytic performance in treatment of simulated dye-contaminated wastewater was evaluated in photocatalytic tests. SEM and FT-IR results confirmed that Ag–Ti–Fe catalyst was composed of Ag 3 PO 4 , anatase and maghemite. Results of photocatalytic tests revealed that Ag–Ti–Fe exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity on water treatment compared with contrastive samples whether the light source was UV or visible light, and the ultimate degradation efficiency of orange II reached 86.71 and 78.13%, respectively. Ag–Ti–Fe could decompose chemically stable groups, rather than simply destroy chromogenic azo double bonds, and it could further effectively remove methyl orange, rhodamine B, methylene blue from water, respectively. VSM results showed that the saturation magnetization of Ag–Ti–Fe was 4.80 emu/g, and it could be separated simply and quickly with the magnetic field.

The SnSb and TiO 2 nanoparticles uniformly embedded into continuous and conductive carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are successfully fabricated through facile electrospinning combined with calcination treatments. The characterization results of the targeted composite nanofibers (Sb-SnSb/TiO 2 @CNFs-2) confirm that the presence of TiO 2 is of significant importance to construct the elaborately designed and intact fiber structure, in which the optimal dosage of the TiO 2 precursor is precisely controlled at 2 mmol. Moreover, high theoretical specific capacity of SnSb, available inhibitory effect of TiO 2 , and great electronic conductivity of CNFs are cooperatively integrated into the Sb-SnSb/TiO 2 @CNFs-2 composite nanofibers, guaranteeing the enhanced lithium storage capacity and cycling performance when being employed as the anode electrodes. Specifically, the Sb-SnSb/TiO 2 @CNFs-2 electrode can not only deliver initial discharge specific capacity of 1146.6 mAh/g at 100 mA/g and reversible discharge specific capacity of 580.4 mAh/g after 100 cycles, but also retain discharge specific capacity of 561.3 mAh/g after rate cycles along with recovering the current density to 100 mA/g. Importantly, the Sb-SnSb/TiO 2 @CNFs-2 electrode is also endowed with prominent advantages in the pseudocapacitive contribution of 66.89 % at 0.8 mV/s. Those investigations and findings of the Sb-SnSb/TiO 2 @CNFs-2 composite electrodes with facile fabrication process and excellent electrochemical performance can contribute to the practical application of the alloy anodes in the field of the energy storage.

Hydrolysis of tetrabutyl titanate (TBT) and crystallization from hydrolyzed intermediates were carried out in a simple ternary system including n -octanol, TBT and water. Anatase TiO 2 nanocrystals (NCS) were prepared with precise size control below 10 nm. The hydrolysis rate at different water concentration ( C water ) was evaluated by measuring the induction time before turbidity changing of the synthetic solution. Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA) techniques were applied to make clear the composition of hydrolyzed intermediates obtained at different C water . Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique was used to track the crystallization process of TiO 2 NCS. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), XRD, FT-IR and TG/DTA techniques were used to characterize the particular properties of NCS. The C water controlled mechanism responsible for the slow hydrolysis and crystallization were discussed. Since no other organic capping ligands or rapid injecting techniques were used to limit NCS’ growth and the solvent n -octanol can be easily separated and reused, this simple synthetic process is of green chemistry and has application potential in large-scale preparation of inorganic NCS.

Multifunctional magnetic photosynthesizer nanocomposites are highly desired to improve the efficacy of the early cancer diagnosis and therapy. However, design a highly biocompatible theranostic system with controlled size and shape at the nanoscale without altering the original properties of the primary materials is a challenging task. Herein, rhombic shaped manganese (Mn) doped titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanocomposites are designed to enhance the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by photocatalytic property and spin relaxation for MRI. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results revealed the average size of the synthesized Mn-TiO 2 rhombic nanocomposites (RNCs) was about 20–30 nm with homogeneous shape and dispersion. EDS and XPS analyses proved the incorporation of Mn ions into the anatase TiO 2 lattice. After Pluronic® F-68 surface modification, Mn-TiO 2 -PF-68 RNCs demonstrated negligible toxicity and physiological stability. Prepared fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeled RNCs are encapsulated by the plasma membrane and surrounded the nucleus of 4T1 mice breast cancer cells which improve the efficiency of prepared RNCs. In addition, the Mn 3+ ions remarkably enhanced the positive contrast (T 1 ) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and presented significant r 1 relaxivity and low r 2 /r 1 relaxivity ratio. Finally, Mn 3+ doped with photosensitizers (TiO 2 ) also exhibited a great synergistic effect of photo-killing in vitro by developing hydroxyl radicals. Therefore, the as-prepared Mn–TiO 2 RNCs are promising candidate as a new kind of multifunctional agent for both MRI and PDT applications.

The TiO 2 nanoparticles aggregation (TNA) was synthesized by a novel one-step hydrothermal method in this work. And for the first time we prepared a kind of jelly pastes of TNA used as photoanode for high-efficiency dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The prepared TNA provides larger specific surface area of 79.34 m 2 g −1 compared with P25 nanoparticles (49.25 m 2 g −1 ), which is beneficial of absorbing more dye molecules and contributes to high current densities. Moreover, the high scattering effect of TNA caused a strong absorption in the visible-light range increasing the number of excited charges and reducing the energy loss. The effect of various concentrations of TNA pastes for DSSCs was studied to explore the superiority of concentrated TNA pastes. The result shows the DSSC based on high-concentration pastes and double-layer film achieved the best power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.34 % corresponding the current density of 17.97 mA cm -2 .

The selective catalytic reduction of NO with propane has been investigated with iron based monolithic catalysts supported on alumina, silica, and titania. The catalysts were characterized by N 2 -physisorption, XRD, SEM, XPS, H 2 -TPR, Py-FTIR and in situ DRIFTS technologies. The different supports had a significant influence on specific surface area, surface morphology, lattice oxygen, redox properties and the acid sites, which resulted in differences in the catalytic activity of NO reduction. The C 3 H 8 -SCR performance decreased in the order as Fe/Al 2 O 3 /CM > Fe/SiO 2 /CM > Fe/TiO 2 /CM. Fe/Al 2 O 3 /CM showed the highest activity with a nitrogen oxide conversion of 100% in the presence of oxygen at 500 °C,which is mainly attributed to the good redox properties and the abundant Lewis acid sites. Based on in situ DRIFT studies, the increase of Lewis acid sites will enhance the formation of NO 2 /NO 3 − species and acetate/formate species, then promote the catalytic activity.

Separation membranes with underliquid dual superlyophobicity have recently caused widespread concern due to their switchable separation of oil–water mixtures and emulsions. However, the fabrication of the reported underliquid dual superlyophobic membranes is difficult, and the design of the underliquid dual superlyophobic surface of these membranes is challenging because of their complex surface composition. Theoretically, underliquid dual superlyophobicity is an underliquid Cassie state attainable by the synergy of the underliquid dual lyophobic surface and the construction of a high-roughness surface. Herein, we fabricated an underliquid dual superlyophobic membrane by combining underliquid dual lyophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and TiO2 nanowires. PVDF-modified TiO2 nanowire membranes with underliquid dual superlyophobicity were prepared via a simple adsorption and filtration approach. PVDF was coated onto TiO2 nanowires to form a PVDF layer with a thickness of 6 nm. The PVDF modification provided flexibility to the fragile TiO2 nanowires membrane and changed its wettability from underwater superoleophobicity/underoil superhydrophilicity to underliquid dual superlyophobicity. The PVDF-modified TiO2 nanowires membrane efficiently separated both oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions. The binary cooperative effect between the TiO2 nanowires and the coated PVDF layer was responsible for the underliquid dual superlyophobicity.

In this study, novel photocatalyst monolith materials were successfully fabricated by a non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) technique. By adding a certain amount of ethyl acetate (as non-solvent) into a cellulose/LiCl/N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) solution, and successively adding titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs), cellulose/TiO2composite monoliths with hierarchically porous structures were easily formed. The obtained composite monoliths possessed mesopores, and two kinds of macropores. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and Ultraviolet-visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis) measurements were adopted to characterize the cellulose/TiO2composite monolith. The cellulose/TiO2composite monoliths showed high efficiency of photocatalytic activity in the decomposition of methylene blue dye, which was decomposed up to 99% within 60 min under UV light. Moreover, the composite monoliths could retain 90% of the photodegradation efficiency after 10 cycles. The novel NIPS technique has great potential for fabricating recyclable photocatalysts with highly efficiency.Keywords:photocatalyst;non-solvent induced phase separation;monolith;cellulose;TiO2

Several Ni-W-P-TiO 2 nanocomposite coatings were developed by the sol-enhanced electroplating method. The phase and elemental compositions of coatings were determined, and the surface and cross-section morphology were characterized. The mechanical and corrosion performance were systematically tested. The results revealed the addition of 5 ml·L −1 TiO 2 sol caused a compact coating surface, while higher concentrations of TiO 2 reduced the coating thickness and led to the inferior surface microstructure. The comparison in physiochemical properties of prepared coatings confirmed the superior performance of the Ni-W-P-TiO 2 nanocomposite coating at 5 ml·L −1 TiO 2 sol addition. Under this condition, the best mechanical properties were achieved when abrasive wear was the dominating wear-resistance mechanism, and the best corrosion resistance was obtained due to its smooth and compact surface microstructure.

This research work reported a novel approach to develop flame retardant silk fabric using naturally occurring phytic acid (PA) rich in phosphorus and TiO 2 nanoparticles through a pad-dry-cure technique. A polycarboxylic acid [1,2,3,4–butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA)] was employed to stabilize and improve the adhesion of TiO 2 on silk surface. The flame retardancy of the treated silk fabric was determined in terms of limiting oxygen index, vertical burning, and pyrolysis combustion flow calorimetry, and the durability of flame retardancy to washing was discussed. PA and TiO 2 were found to have a joint flame retardant effect. The combination of PA, TiO 2 and BTCA was able to endow silk fabric with excellent flame retardancy, and the good flame retardant ability was kept even after 25 times of washing. The reasons for the good washing durability of the treated silk fabric were discussed. Finally, a significant condensed-phase flame retardant mechanism of the silk fabric treated with the PA/TiO 2 /BTCA system was revealed by the analyses of thermogravimetry and pyrolysis combustion flow calorimetry.

Mesoporous TiO2containing different potassium content was prepared from potassium titanate by mediating the pH value of the ion exchange, which was used as catalytic support to load NiMo for hydrodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2physical adsorption/desorption, temperature-programmed reduction, scanning electron microscope/energy dispersive X-ray mapping analysis, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, and pyridine-adsorbed Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The characterization results showed that NiO and MoO3were well dispersed on mesoporous TiO2with varying potassium content. A crystal NiMoO4phase was formed on the TiO2with relatively high potassium content, which could decrease the reduction temperature of oxidized active species. The evaluation results from the hydrodesulfurization displayed that as the potassium content of the catalyst increased, the dibenzothiophene conversion firstly increased and then slightly decreased when potassium content exceeded 6.41 wt %. By contrast, the direct desulfurization selectivity could continuously increase along with the potassium content of catalyst. Furthermore, the change in direct desulfurization selectivity of a TiO2-supported NiMo catalyst was independent of the reaction condition. The mesoporous TiO2-supported NiMo catalyst incorporated with potassium could have near both 100% of dibenzothiophene and 100% of direct desulfurization selectivity. According to the structure–performance relationship discussion, the incorporation of potassium species could benefit the formation of more sulfided active species on mesoporous TiO2. Moreover, excessive free potassium species may poison the active sites of the hydrogenation pathway. Both factors determined the characteristics of complete hydrodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene via a direct desulfurization pathway for potassium-incorporated mesoporous TiO2supported NiMo catalysts.Keywords:TiO2;potassium;hydrodesulfurization;dibenzothiophene;direct desulfurization;selectivity
