The uneven lithium deposition on Cu current collector and poor interface stability of lithium metal/electrolyte would lead to rapid capacity decay and potential safety risks, which severely hinder the practical applications of lithium metal batteries. In this work, the in-situ derived Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/TiO 2 (labeled as MXene/TiO 2 ) composite with favorable lithiophilicity and conductivity is applied as modified layer on Cu foil current collector (labeled as MXene/TiO 2 @Cu) to obtain the uniform and dense lithium plating. Compared with bare Cu and commercial TiO 2 nanoparticles modified Cu current collector (labeled as Nano TiO 2 @Cu), the MXene/TiO 2 @Cu combines abundant lithium nucleation sites and improved conductivity, which could promote uniform lithium plating and stripping at high current density and effectively avoid the generation of dead lithium or lithium dendrites. As a result, the MXene/TiO 2 @Cu-based symmetric battery could stably cycle for 2000 h at high current density of 3 mA cm −2 with capacity of 3 mAh cm −2 , and the MXene/TiO 2 @Cu-Li‖LiFePO 4 full battery could maintain the high reversible capacity of 104.0 mAh g −1 at 1 C after 500 cycles. This work provides an effective and novel protection strategy for Cu current collector, which is critical for the design of lithium metal batteries with favorite rate capability at high current density.

Owing to the lower toxicity and mobility of inorganic As(V), the oxidative removal of As(III) is deemed as the optimal approach for arsenic elimination from water. Herein, a synthetic TiO 2 -supported CuO material (Cu-TiO 2 ) was coupled with sulfite (S(IV)) to remove As(III) at neutral pH. The combined process coupled oxidation with adsorption (i.e., As(III) removal by Cu-TiO 2 /S(IV)) was superior than a divided preoxidation-adsorption process (i.e., As(V) removal by Cu-TiO 2 ) for arsenic removal. Attractively, low concentration of As(III) (50−300 μg L −1 ) could be completely removed by Cu-TiO 2 (0.25 g L −1 )/S(IV) (0.5 mM) within 60 min. Mechanism investigations revealed that the efficient As(III) removal was attributed to the continuous oxysulfur radicals (SO x •− ) oxidation and Cu-TiO 2 adsorption. The surface-adsorbed and free sulfate radicals (SO 4 •− ) were further identified as the crucial oxidizing species. The Cu-TiO 2 played the dual roles as a catalyst for S(IV) activation and an absorbent for arsenic immobility. The influence of operating parameters (i.e., As(III) concentration and sulfite dosage) and water chemistry (i.e., pH, inorganic anions, dissolved organic matters , and temperature) on As(III) removal were systematically investigated and optimized. Overall, the proposed process has potential application prospects in rehabilitating the As(III)-polluted water environment using industrial waste sulfite.

The traditional superhydrophobic materials are not ideal for treating residual pollutants after oil-water separation. In this paper, a simple and economical method was developed for the fabrication of multi-functional superhydrophobic materials PDVB x /TiO 2 composites, through in situ polymerization. The performance of the superhydrophobic composite was studied. The results showed that the low surface energy of PDVB 2.5 /TiO 2 composite with the micro-nano scale roughness would result in excellent superhydrophobicity. In addition, the PDVB 2.5 /TiO 2 composite exhibits optimum effect on the degradation of methyl orange (MO) with the degradation efficiency of 97.8%. What is more, the applications of the composite materials could be expanded to other fields, such as the degradation of drug ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CIP). Finally, we expanded the application of the PDVB x /TiO 2 composites to tribology, and found its excellent performance in reducing wear and antiwear.

A composite of SrTiO 3 /TiO 2 was successfully prepared using TiO 2 (Degussa P25) and SrTiO 3 powders as starting materials. The composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–vis absorption spectrum, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS). The SrTiO 3 /TiO 2 composite presents an enhanced photovoltaic response compared with pure TiO 2 and SrTiO 3 . The enhancement was explained by investigating the energy levels of TiO 2 and SrTiO 3 , and the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of TiO 2 , SrTiO 3 and SrTiO 3 /TiO 2 . The analysis of energy levels shows that those of TiO 2 and SrTiO 3 are matching, which improves the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers. The PL spectra indicate that the formation of SrTiO 3 /TiO 2 composite decreases the recombination rate of photogenerated carriers. Thus the photovoltaic response enhancement is mainly resulting from the improved separation efficiency and decreased recombination rate of photogenerated carriers for SrTiO 3 /TiO 2 composite.

We present a novel UV–visible-light photocatalytic optical hollow-fiber in which a hollow optical fiber (HOF) and TiO 2 -based composite are coupled for enhancement of photocatalytic activity toward degradation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). A HOF was coated with a TiO 2 -based composite composed of Er 3+ :YAlO 3 /SiO 2 /TiO 2 (EYST) and acting as the photocatalytic element. The EYST coating showed good light-inducing capacity at the fiber-coating interface and high photocatalytic activity driven by UV–visible light. The photocatalytic activity of the fabricated photocatalytic HOFs was investigated for degradation of 4-CP in aqueous solution in the wavelength spectrum of 360–780 nm. Examined were the effects of the EYST coating gradient and reactor operating conditions (pH and temperature) on the degradation of 4-CP. The EYST-coated HOF significantly enhanced the 4-CP degradation, dechlorination, and mineralization, compared to pure TiO 2 -coated HOF and EYST-coated solid optical fibers. Specifically, high photocatalytic activity was obtained when the EYST coating thicknesses at the HOF’s incident end and HOF’s hemispherical end were 10 and 160 μm, the pH was 6.0, and temperature was 55 °C.

Nitrogen-doped and carbon species decorated TiO 2 composites (Cts/TiO 2 ) are prepared by using chitosan as a natural nitrogen and carbon source to combine with TiO 2 by a facile and low-cost method for the first time. Their structures and properties are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), N 2 adsorption–desorption isotherms (BET), and electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR). The results show that the visible light absorption range of the composites even can be extended to 650 nm. Photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light (420 nm < λ < 800 nm) irradiation is used as a model reaction to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of the composites. When the additive amount of chitosan is 0.25 g, the sample Cts/TiO 2 -25 possesses the highest activity, which is over 4.8 times of N-TiO 2 . The detection of active species during the photocatalytic process shows that superoxide radicals (O 2 − ) play the most important role, then the probable degradation mechanism of the photocatalysts is proposed simultaneously. It is hoped that our work will open a new doorway to use a simple and green method to get high-efficiency TiO 2 -based photocatalysts.

The development of fast and high yield route for large scale synthesis porous TiO 2 based catalyst has attracted widespread concern in the field of optoelectronic and catalysis. Up to now, the facile synthesis of mesoporous TiO 2 based composite is still limited to wet chemical synthesis approach (hydrothermal, phase transformation, or sol-gel method etc.). Here, we develop a polyethyleneimine-assisted solvent-free strategy to synthesize of ionic liquid-derived Mo-based mesoporous TiO 2 composite, with molybdenum sites uniformly distributed on TiO 2 matrix. As-synthesized ionic liquid-derived mesoporous MoO x /TiO 2 composite is composed of uniform nano-sized anatase particles and connected by worm-like mesoporous channel. Moreover, the calcination conditions and loading amount of molybdenum-containing ionic liquid have been further optimized. These distinct characteristics endow the prospective MoO x /TiO 2 composite with excellent performance in catalytic oxidation reaction, which can remove refractory organic sulfur compound in the model fuel effectively. Our work opens a new solvent-free avenue to synthesis porous metal based ionic liquids/TiO 2 composite.

The Zn/Cr-MOFs/TiO2composites were synthesized using the solvothermal method. XRD, FTIR, and SEM techniques were utilized to characterize the Zn/Cr-MOFs/TiO2composites employed for simulating levofloxacin hydrochloride in wastewater. The impact of the mass of the Zn/Cr-MOFs/TiO2composite, concentration of levofloxacin hydrochloride, solution pH, and temperature on the adsorption performance was investigated. Experimental findings indicated that at pH 6, the maximum removal efficiency of levofloxacin hydrochloride by the Zn/Cr-MOFs/TiO2composite was achieved at 88.8%, with an adsorption capacity of 246.3 mg/g. To analyze the experimental data, both pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetics models were applied, revealing that the pseudo-second-order model provided a better fit to the data. Additionally, Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were used to study equilibrium adsorption behavior and showed good agreement with both kinetic modeling and Langmuir isotherm analysis results. These observations suggest that monolayer adsorption predominates during the removal process of levofloxacin hydrochloride by Zn/Cr-MOFs/TiO2composites.

In this study, a novel ternary hybrid CdS/SiO 2 /TiO 2 film was proposed as the phonoanode for the photocatalytic fuel cell. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and UV–vis absorption. The photoelectrochemical activity of the ternary hybrid electrode was characterized by the photocurrent-time transient response, linear sweep voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It was shown that CdS/SiO 2 /TiO 2 yielded much higher photoelectrochemical activity than CdS/TiO 2 and bare TiO 2 did. The photoanode with CdS/SiO 2 /TiO 2 showed the highest photocurrent density of 4.6 mA cm −2 , exhibiting a 40% improvement over the conventional CdS/TiO 2 photoanode. The roles of SiO 2 and CdS in such a ternary configuration were elaborated. It was demonstrated that CdS could act as an excellent visible light captaturer to generate photo-induced charge carriers, and SiO 2 as a passivation layer to suppress the interfacial recombination of electrons and holes. Moreover, SiO 2 could allow for more CdS to be deposited at the photoanode owing to its high adsorption capacity . In addition, the effects of the SiO 2 content and the SILAR cycle time on the performance of the CdS/SiO 2 /TiO 2 photoanode were investigated. An optimal SiO 2 content of 10% could yield the best performance. Increasing the SILAR cycle time could improve the photoelectrochemical activity.

Abstract In order to improve the photocatalytic degradation performance of Ag 3 PO 4 and reduce the cost of photocatalyst made of Ag 3 PO 4 , a kind of Ag 3 PO 4 /TiO 2 composite was successfully fabricated via a simply precipitation method for the Ag 3 PO 4 nanoparticles being loaded on the surface of commercial titanium dioxide (P25) to form a heterostructure. The Ag 3 PO 4 /TiO 2 composite were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, XPS, FE-SEM, HR-TEM, DRS and PL and applied for the degradation of formaldehyde solution under solar radiation. The results showed that the degradation rat of Ag 3 PO 4 /TiO 2 composite (0.01796 min −1 ) was much higher than that of pure Ag 3 PO 4 (0.00775 min −1 ), indicating that the Ag 3 PO 4 /TiO 2 composite possessed better photocatalytic degradation activity for the formaldehyde solution than pure Ag 3 PO 4 . The composite significantly decreased the dosage of silver for photocatalyst under solar radiation, thereby reduced the cost of the photocatalyst made from silver. Graphical Abstract

An effective catalyst of MIL-101(Fe)/TiO 2 composite was synthesized by solvothermal method. The resultant MIL-101(Fe)/TiO 2 was used for advanced oxidation degradation of tetracycline (TC) for the first time. The results indicated that the MIL-101(Fe)/TiO 2 showed higher TC degradation efficiency than pure MIL-101(Fe) or TiO 2 with the persulfate. Using 1 g L −1 MIL-101(Fe)/TiO 2 and persulfate at pH 7, 90.15% degradation rate was achieved under xenon lamp irradiation in 5 min for 20 mg L −1 TC. TiO 2 introduced in the composite played an important role in the degradation process, in which TiO 2 had a synergetic effect with Fe 3+ to generate Fe 2+ , Ti 3+ and radicals. Fe 2+ reacted with persulfate to produce Fe 3+ and a number of · OH to degrade TC. This reaction process was so fast that MIL-101(Fe)/TiO 2 with persulfate could degrade TC fairly rapidly. A novel TiO 2 -based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) composite was more efficient for degrading pharmaceutical wastewater.

A novel sphere-like SnO 2 /TiO 2 composite is synthesized via spray-drying followed by calcination as confirmed by X-ray diffraction and field emission-scanning electron microscopy analyses; the SnO 2 /TiO 2 composite is composed of the tetragonal cassiterite-like SnO 2 nanoparticles and anatase-like TiO 2 nanospheres . The characterization results show that the optimal stoichiometric ratio of SnO 2 /TiO 2 is approximately 3:1 when the composite serves as the anode for lithium ion batteries, in which the composite electrode not only delivers a high initial discharge specific capacity of 1476 mAh g −1 and retains 483 mAh g −1 after 40 cycles at 500 mA g −1 but also presents a low transfer resistance of approximately 56.33 Ω, a high Warburg coefficient of up to 85.82 Ω cm 2 s −0.5 , and a high lithium ion diffusion coefficient of approximately 6.934 E-15 cm 2 s −1 at ambient temperature. These excellent electrochemical properties suggest that the SnO 2 /TiO 2 composite electrode may be a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries .
