The graphene-based film is an interlayer separation film having a special mass transfer property. In this study, a novel TiO 2 nanorod inserted graphene-based membrane on a CA (Cellulose Acetate) mat was fabricated by a vacuum filtration method for water treatment application. The intercalated TiO 2 nanorods expanded the interlamellar spacing among the graphene sheets and thus advanced the separation efficiency of graphene-based membrane, which exhibited a flux several times higher than some commercial nanofiltration membranes and an extremely high rejection especially for dyes, for MB (99.3%), Rhb (99.4%), MO (99.3%), CR (99.6%).

The ideal material for detecting ultraviolet(UV) is TiO 2 nanorods (TiO 2 NRs). However, the photosensitive response speed and response speed of TiO 2 NRs are affected by its surface defects . We need to choose an appropriate method to solve this problem. In this study, TiO 2 NRs and D-A-D type conducting polymer containing pyridazine as the acceptor unit and 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene as the donor unit 3,6-bis (2- (3,4-propylidene dioxythiophenyl)) pyridazine are electrochemically combined to fabricate UV photodetectors . The structure of the material is analyzed by SEM , mapping, XRD , FT-IR, UV–vis and XPS , indicating the strongly enhanced synergistic effect between PProDOT-Pz and TiO 2 NRs and the homogeneous distribution of polymer on the TiO 2 NRs surface. The results show that under the low power (0.35 mW cm −2 ) UV illumination, the hybrid system has high responsivity (342.19 mA W −1 ) large detectivity (1.36 × 10 11 Jones) fast time pulse response (T rise = 6.2 s, T decay = 7.7 s) and EQE (110.35%) at the bias voltage of 3 V. More importantly, the photodetector works stably with good repeatability, which shows that the device configuration based on TiO 2 NRs and PProDOT-Pz heterojunction is proved to be an excellent candidate device with high sensitivity and fast response for UV signal.

The high working temperature of metal oxide semiconductors hinders its application in flexible sensing devices. In this paper, a UV-activated flexible sensor operating at room temperature (RT, 25℃) is first reported based on SnO 2 nanoparticles embedded in photo-catalytic TiO 2 nanorods matrix. The UV-irradiated SnO 2 /TiO 2 sensor exhibits excellent selectivity (109 ppm, 37 %) to CH 3 COOH and reduced response/recovery time (12 s/41 s). The excellent RT flexible sensing properties are attributed to the synergistic action of UV-365 nm irradiation, the hetero-embedded microstructure and innovative terpineol binder. UV irradiation generates substantial e h υ − - h h υ + pairs, which serve as active sites to promote the chemisorption and redox reactions. Additional activation energy helps to improve adsorption/desorption kinetics. The heterojunction provides abundant channels, facilitating the separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers. The effect of relative humidity (RH) and temperature variations around RT on the sensor response towards CH 3 COOH are investigated. Under low-RH (35 %-45 %) and high-RH conditions (above 45 %), 1 % RH change has the same effect on the sensor response than 7.2 ppm and 59.4 ppm CH 3 COOH, respectively. 1°C temperature change exhibits the same effect than 17.9 ppm CH 3 COOH. Such a noise effect is by far not suitable for real-world applications. In addition, the response to 109 ppm CO reaches up to 89.5. Therefore, the sensor is seriously disturbed by CO and further research is needed. Above all, UV assistants, hetero-composites combining with innovative microstructure design are expected to be a collaborative enhancement strategy for MOSs-based RT flexible sensors.

Today, the ever-increasing demand for large-size power tools has provoked worldwide competition in developing lithium-ion batteries having higher energy and power densities. In this context, advanced anode materials are being extensively pursued, among which TiO 2 is particularly promising owing to its high safety, excellent cost and environmental performances, and high cycle stability. However, TiO 2 is faced with two detrimental deficiencies, that is, extremely low theoretical capacity and conductivity. Herein, a smart hybridization strategy is proposed for the hierarchical co-assembly of TiO 2 nanorods and Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles on pristine graphene nanosheets, aiming to simultaneously address the capacity and conductivity deficiencies of TiO 2 by coupling it with high-capacity (Fe 3 O 4 ) and high-conductivity (pristine graphene) components. The resulting novel, multifunctional ternary heterostructures effectively integrate the intriguing functionalities of the three building blocks: TiO 2 as the major active material can adequately retain such merits as high safety and cycle stability, Fe 3 O 4 as the auxiliary active material can contribute extraordinarily high capacities, and pristine graphene as the conductive dopant can guarantee sufficient percolation pathways. Benefiting from a remarkable synergy, the ternary heterostructures deliver superior reversible capacities and rate capabilities, thus casting new light on developing next-generation, high-performance anode materials.

Vertical-oriented Cs-doped rutile TiO 2 nanorod (Cs-TiO 2 NR) arrays were prepared without a seed layer through the hydrothermal method . One-dimension TiO 2 nanorod (TiO 2 NR) arrays not only provide a direct and fast channel for charge transfer but also increase the perovskite loading amount. Further research shows that the conduction band minimum of Cs-TiO 2 NRs increases from − 3.94 eV to − 3.86 eV when compared with the pristine TiO 2 NRs, which favors the positive band alignment at the ETL/perovskite interface and reduces the carrier recombination and energy loss. Furthermore, we simultaneously replaced the expensive and unstable organic hole transport layer and noble metal electrode with a carbon electrode for the purpose of reducing the cost of the PSCs . The study proves that Cs-TiO 2 NRs not only improve the energy level arrangement at the ETL/perovskite interface but also reduce the density of defect states at the interface and increase carrier lifetime. The hole-transport-material-free carbon-based all-inorganic FTO/Cs-TiO 2 NRs/CsPbI 2.25 Br 0.75 /C solar devices exhibited a high-power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 12.72%, showing a 16% increase in PCE when compared with the control device. This work opens the door to the preparation of high-efficiency hole-transport-material-free carbon-based all-inorganic PSCs via the energy level calibration engineering.

High performance CdS sensitized TiO 2 nanorod arrays based solar cells are fabricated by polymer-assisted layer-by-layer adsorption and reaction (PA-LBLAR) method. The PA-LBLAR method can well control the deposited size of CdS on the TiO 2 nanorod arrays, which are grown on Ti foils by hydrothermal route then transferred to transparent conductive glasses. The UV–vis absorption spectra show that with the increasing deposition times, the absorption spectra of photoelectrodes increased to a broader wavelength range, which is originated by the better coverage and increased size of CdS quantum dots on the TiO 2 nanorod arrays as detected by SEM and TEM images. The highest power conversion efficiency of the cells (AM 1.5 G, 100 mWcm −2 ) up to 2.944% can be obtained with 7 cycles of PA-LBLAR deposition of CdS sensitized layers in the photoelectrodes, which is much higher than that of the best performance of cell with 14 cycles of traditional successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction processes.

To address the growing need for high-performing and stable energy storage devices, optimizing the durability and structure of supercapacitor electrodes is crucial. Traditional electrodes frequently face challenges in achieving an optimal balance between electrochemical capacity and structural stability. This study presents the synthesis of TiO 2 /CC@C array electrodes through ultrasonic disorder-induced deposition (UDID), specifically for high-performing supercapacitor applications. The impact of different ultrasonic power levels (50–200 W) on the electrodes’ structural and electrochemical properties was systematically examined. SEM analysis indicated that the sample prepared at 150 W showed an optimal, densely packed array of TiO 2 nanorods with improved surface uniformity, facilitating efficient ion transport. The 150 W TiO 2 /CC@C sample displayed a 46.73 m 2 /g specific surface area and a mean pore diameter of 9.35 nm, contributing to improved charge storage capacity. Raman spectroscopic analysis further confirmed the successful synthesis of the TiO 2 /CC@C composite, revealing distinct TiO 2 and carbon-related peaks. Electrochemical measurements showed that this electrode attained a specific capacitance of 687.3F/g at a scan rate equal to 5 mV/s. The system delivered an energy density equal to 158.4 Wh/kg at a power density of 20 W/kg when assembled as an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) with AC as the positive electrode. Furthermore, after 10,000 cycles, it maintained 86.3 % of its initial capacitance demonstrating outstanding cycling stability. These findings indicate that optimizing ultrasonic power to 150 W significantly improves both the structural and electrochemical performance of TiO 2 /CC@C, making it a promising candidate for advanced supercapacitor applications.

In this study, TiO 2 nanorod arrays (TNR), Ag quantum dots (QDs) sensitized with TNR TiO 2 /Ag, bismuth oxyhalide (BiOI) nanosheets, and Ag QDs co-modified with TNR and TiO 2 /BiOI/Ag (TBA) were prepared by a stepwise process. The morphological, structural, compositional, optical, photocatalytic (PC), and photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties of the samples were investigated. The TBA-2 sample exhibited the highest photocurrent density (281.8 μA/cm 2 ) and photodegradation efficiency (93.3%), with values 9.7 times and 2.25 times higher than those for TNR, respectively. The improvement in sample performance can be attributed to the formation of a heterojunction between BiOI and TiO 2 , thereby enhancing the absorption of visible light and improving the charge separation efficiency; Ag QDs limit interfacial electron-hole pair recombination. The experimental results show that TBA can effectively promote light-induced carrier transport and visible light absorption, while inhibiting the recombination rate of the electron-hole pairs, PEC, and PC.

Reducing defect density and hindering charge recombination in perovskite film and at perovskite/semiconductor interface are crucial to perovskite solar cells (PSCs) performance. In this paper, hydrothermally prepared TiO 2 nanorod arrays (TNRAs) were coated with Nb 2 O 5 layer using a spin-coating method, and the modified TNRAs were used as scaffold for the deposition of perovskite films and corresponding PSCs in air environment. The effect of NbCl 5 concentration on the micro structure and photovoltaic properties of the formed perovskite films were investigated, and the enhancement mechanism was also elucidated. A champion efficiency of 16.50% (enhanced of 9.49% compared with the pristine one) was achieved when the concentration of NbCl 5 solution was 0.005 M. Such an enhanced performance of PSC might be mainly ascribed to two reasons: one was the improved perovskite film qualities including the enlarged average grain size, higher crystallinity and reduced defect density; the other was the formed energy barrier (Nb 2 O 5 ) between perovskite layer and TNRAs interface that hindered the charge recombination.

In this study, a new photoelectrochemical material is fabricated by loading two-dimensional leaf-like Ti 3 C 2 MXene nanosheets into the TiO 2 nanorod array to form Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets/TiO 2 nanorod (Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 NR) composite photoanode materials. The unique two-dimensional/one-dimensional (2D/1D) composite photocatalytic materials enhance the photoelectrochemical water splitting performance under simulated solar light (100 mW cm −2 ) and yield a high photocurrent density of 1.41 mA cm −2 at 1.23 V vs . reversible hydrogen electrode (V vs. RHE ) and photoconversion efficiency of 0.46% at 0.78 V vs. RHE , which are almost 3.13 and 5.82 times higher, respectively, than those of the pure rutile TiO 2 NRs. The enhanced photoelectrochemical performances are attributed to the photogenerated electrons produced by TiO 2 NR which could be quickly transported by Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets due to their good electrical conductivity and increased specific surface area, which improve the separation efficiency of electrons and holes. These Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 NR, as new photocatalytic materials, have promising potential applications in the fields of photoelectrochemical water splitting, solar cells, and other photocatalytic devices.

Powder-form piezocatalysts suffer from poor recyclability and pose a potential threat of creating serious secondary pollution, which restrict their practical applications. Thin-film piezocatalysts, which not only exhibit good recyclability but also fully contact with solution, are believed to be one of the solutions to address these problems. In this work, the nanostructured BaTiO3 (BTO) thin films were fabricated by a facile hydrothermal method for their potential applications in piezocatalysis. The vertically standing BTO nanosheets grown on the top of TiO2 nanorod arrays exhibited superior piezocatalytic performance as well as piezo-electrochemical property. Given the different strain states between thin-film piezocatalyst and powder-form piezocatalyst, both the impact force of water and isostatic pressure are taken into consideration in finite element method (FEM) simulation. The FEM simulation shows that a stronger piezoelectric filed can be built in BTO nanosheets because of their easier deformation, and thus can lead to a higher piezocatalytic degradation efficiency. Our work presented here is expected to provide a potential route for the nanoengineering of thin-film piezocatalysts and clarify the catalytic mechanism for substrate-fixed piezocatalysts.

In this work, highly regular TiO 2 array films consisting of nanorods with a diameter of ∼119 nm were grown on FTO via a facile hydrothermal method. Then Pt nanoparticles with a size of ∼5 nm were modified on the surface of TiO 2 nanorods via an in-situ reduction process. The gas-sensing performances of pristine TiO 2 and Pt-modified TiO 2 samples were systematically tested. The introduction of Pt nanoparticles could enhance the response and stability toward CO gas and decrease the optimal operating temperature from 400 °C to 360 °C. And the Pt/TiO 2 -based sensor with a Pt content of 1.5 wt% exhibits the maximum CO sensitivity. Furthermore, the adsorption energies of Pt-modified or Pt-doped TiO 2 for CO molecules were calculated using first-principles calculations. The chemical sensitivity of Pt to CO molecules may be responsible for the improved CO sensitivity. Additionally, the unique nanorod array structure of Pt/TiO 2 and the nano-Schottky junction generated between them are helpful in enhancing the gas-sensing property.
