In this paper, a type of heterojunction photocatalyst S-Tyr-NDI-Tyr/TiO 2 was prepared by self-assembly of tyrosine-substituted naphthamide (NDA) and bonding with titanium dioxide. The self-assembly process and driving force of monomer M-Tyr-NDI-Tyr were simulated by theoretical calculation. Taking atenolol as the target pollutant, the photocatalytic performance of the heterojunction photocatalyst under visible light was studied, and the degradation products were analyzed by mass spectrometry. The environmental toxicity of photocatalytic process was evaluated by luminescent bacteria. The principle of high photocatalytic activity of S-Tyr-NDI-Tyr/TiO 2 heterojunction photocatalyst was proposed by analyzing the fluorescence spectrum, photocurrent density and resistance, electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum, free radical capture experiment and energy band position of S-Tyr-NDI-Tyr/TiO 2 heterojunction photocatalyst. In addition, the photocatalytic degradation of different pollutants by S-Tyr-NDI-Tyr/TiO 2 heterojunction photocatalyst was also studied. This work will provide a useful example for the further development of new and efficient organic supramolecular/inorganic semiconductor composite photocatalysts.

Ammonia selective catalytic reduction (NH 3 -SCR) technique for nitrogen oxide (NO x ) elimination of low temperature flue gas (<200 °C) requires huge energy consumption and operation costs. In this work, a CuO modified V 2 O 5 -WO 3 /TiO 2 (Cu/VWTi) catalyst are constructed to achieve the aim of enhancing the temperature of flue gas via using the heat released by CO oxidation, thereby promoting the NH 3 -SCR of NO x reaction. Benefiting from the synergistic effect between CuO and VWTi in the adsorption and activation of reactants, Cu/VWTi catalyst shows high NO x (>90%) and CO (>90%) removal efficiency at the temperature range of 225–270 °C and a GHSV of 40,000 h −1 . Moreover, it is found that the completely oxidation of 2000 ppm CO can increase the flue gas temperature by about 20 °C. Therefore, developing catalyst that can achieve simultaneously NH 3 -SCR of NO x and CO oxidation is a feasible method to deduce the energy consumption and operation costs of NH 3 -SCR of NO x system in low temperature flue gas. Finally, the reaction process and SO 2 deactivation effect over Cu/VWTi catalyst was studied via in-situ DRIFT. This work might provide some guidance for the design of catalysts to eliminate multiple pollutants.

The strong band-to-band visible light absorption obtained by changing the bandgap of photocatalysts is desirable but challenging for TiO 2 . In this paper, a mechanochemical pre-reaction and subsequent heat-treatment process were used to create TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunctions. Acid-treated H 2 Ti 3 O 7 nanobelts and superior thin g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets (CN) were ground evenly and further heat-treated to grow rhombic TiO 2 in situ on the nanosheets. The heterojunctions exhibited a band gap with the absorption in visible light region. Heterojunction formation effective tunes the surface and electronic structures of the composite, resulting in significant decrease of bandgap. g-C 3 N 4 -based heterojunctions (5TCN) exhibited excellent H 2 generation (4991 μmol/g/h) and NO removal. In contrast, a TiO 2 -based composite (95TCN) revealed efficient photo reduction of Cr(Ⅵ) which was 2 times of that of TiO 2 sample and 22 times of that of CN. The photochemical reaction mechanism of TiO 2 and g-C 3 N 4 -based composites was discussed with the ratio of TiO 2 and g-C 3 N 4 . The excellent performance is ascribed to single crystal rhombic TiO 2 nanoparticles grown in situ on g-C 3 N 4 to form well-developed heterojunctions which accelerate the carrier transfer. These results inspire the electronic structure engineering of photocatalysts to improve visible light absorption and provide a magic strategy for excellent photochemical activities.

A novel Ag triangle nanoparticles/TiO2 nanorod array (AgNTs/TNA) heterostructure was designed as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active substrate for the sensitive detection of Rhodamine 6G (R6G), Crystal Violet (CV), Malachite Green (MG) and Thiram in food samples. The heterostructure was constructed by simply stacking AgNTs and hydrothermally prepared rutile TNA together. On the surface of the heterostructure, the intensity of the Raman scattering intensity was about two times stronger compared with that on the AgNT substrate, using the R6G molecule as a probe. The AgNTs/TNA heterostructure could detect the SERS signal of R6G down to 10−10 M, showing excellent SERS performance. This platform has been successfully applied for the detection of CV and MG residues in crayfish. When irradiated with ultraviolet light, the SERS substrates can be cleaned and reused. This work demonstrated that the AgNTs/TNA metal–semiconductor heterostructure with high sensitivity, reproducibility and recyclability could provide an alternative reliable platform for food additive analysis.

Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction to produce value-added products is considered a promising solution to solve the global energy crisis and the greenhouse effect. In this study, Ti 3 CN MXene was synthesized using a Lewis acidic etching method without the usage of toxic hydrofluoric acid (HF). Ti 3 CN MXene was then used as a support for the in situ hydrothermal growth of TiO 2 and Ru nanoparticles. In the presence of 0.5 wt% Ru, Ru-Ti 3 CN-TiO 2 shows CO and CH 4 production rates of 99.58 and 8.97 μmol/g, respectively, in 5 h under Xenon lamp irradiation, more than 20.5 and 9.3 times that of commercial P25. The enhancement in photocatalytic activity was attributed to the synergy between the in-situ growth of TiO 2 on Ti 3 CN MXene and Ru nanoparticles. It was proven experimentally that Ti 3 CN MXene can provide abundant pathways for electron transfer. The separation and transfer of the photo-induced charge were further increased with the help of Ru and Ti 3 CN MXene, leaving more electrons to participate in the subsequent CO 2 reduction reaction. We believe that this work will encourage more attention to designing environment-friendly MXene-based photocatalysts for CO 2 photoreduction using the non-HF method.

TiO 2 with biocompatibility and low price was limited application in cosmetics due to its narrow UV protection range, producing free radicals under UV irradiation to accelerated skin aging and whitish. Herein, a series of highly effective broad-spectrum TiO 2 @lignin sunscreen microscopes (TWLx) were prepared by modulating van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding interactions between TiO 2 and lignin. The results showed that the UV main absorption peak of TWLx increased from UVA to UVA + UVB. TWLx could completely eliminate the hydroxyl radical produced by TiO 2 under UV irradiation owe to introduction of lignin. Meanwhile, the combination of TiO 2 and lignin could neutralize color, which made TWLx color closer to human skin. The UV-protection test showed that the SPF value of sunscreen containing 3 wt% TWLx reached 137.4. The antioxidant experiment showed that TWLx has about 16 times the DPPH radical scavenging ability of TiO 2 . Finally, high internal phase Pickering emulsions were prepared by using TWLx as a stabilizer. It was found that the internal phase volume fraction of the emulsion was up to 86 vol%, which could be recognized as the highest internal phase reported in suntan lotion. This work would provide new ideas for the synthesis of highly effective broad-spectrum sunscreens.

Developing cost-effective, ease-to-use and sensitive cholesterol sensors is of great importance. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor has exhibited their potential with low cost, simple instrumentation, easy miniaturization, and high sensitivity. Organometal lead halide perovskites (MAPbX 3 ) with exceptional opto-electronic properties have been appealing materials for optoelectronic devices. Whereas the extreme sensitivity of MAPbX 3 towards even moisture has always restricted their application in biological use. Here we report a novel MAPbX 3 photoelectrochemical cholesterol sensor with water stability. The titanium dioxide inverse opal (TiO 2 IOPCs) and CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 quantum dot heterojunction on ITO glass exhibited a remarkably increased photoelectric current density of approximately 40 μA/cm 2 . The further encapsulation within the imprinted polymer presented high selectivity towards cholesterol and significantly improved the stability of perovskites as well. Linear detection of cholesterol in buffer was achieved with the detection limit of 2.51 × 10 - 10 mol/L, lower than that of the reported cholesterol PEC sensor in aqueous buffer. Recovery rates in serum were also obtained with the cholesterol concentration lower than the reported imprinted polymer based (photo)electrochemical sensor. Additionally, the photocurrent intensity under continuous emission was maintained at 80% after immersing this sensor in an aqueous solution for 500 s. The storage stability was more than 20 days. Here we present the first MAPbX3 perovskite-based sensor applicable in aqueous samples with super sensitivity and selectivity, which promote the perovskite nanomaterial-mediated sensing of biologically important species.

In this work, an efficient and novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor for 2,3′,5,5′-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB72) was constructed based on [email protected] [email protected] quantum dots ( [email protected] QDs)-decorated TiO 2 nanotubes (TiO 2 NTs). [email protected] QDs were prepared by the combination of CdTe and CdS with a proper lattice mismatch. Due to their large band offsets, [email protected] QDs can reduce undesirable carrier recombination, significantly improving their charge separation efficiency. Then the synthesized [email protected] QDs were modified on TiO 2 NTs ( [email protected] QDs/TiO 2 NTs) through electrostatic adsorption method. The as-prepared composites exhibit a wide visible light absorption range, good PEC activity and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. Also, the PEC aptasensor prepared via the immobilization of anti-PCB72 aptamer on the composites exhibits outstanding analytical performance with high sensitivity and specificity for PCB72 under visible-light irradiation, achieving a detection limit as low as 0.03 ng/L. It was also applied to detect PCB72 in four different real environmental samples with satisfactory results.

The Pt-chitosan-TiO2charge transfer (CT) complex was synthesized via the sol-gel and impregnation method. The synthesized photocatalysts were thoroughly characterized, and their photocatalytic activity were evaluated toward H2production through water reduction under visible-light irradiation. The effect of the preparation conditions of the photocatalysts (the degree of deacetylation of chitosan, addition amount of chitosan, and calcination temperature) on the photocatalytic activity was discussed. The optimal Pt-10%DD75-T200 showed a H2generation rate of 280.4 μmol within 3 h. The remarkable visible-light photocatalytic activity of Pt-chitosan-TiO2was due to the CT complex formation between chitosan and TiO2, which extended the visible-light absorption and induced the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT). The photocatalytic mechanism of Pt-chitosan-TiO2was also investigated. This paper outlines a new and facile pathway for designing novel visible-light-driven photocatalysts that are based on TiO2modified by polysaccharide biomass wastes that are widely found in nature.Keywords:photocatalyst;TiO2;chitosan;H2evolution;LMCT;visible light

Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), a highly toxic, malodorous, and corrosive gas, poses a serious threat to the atmospheric environment and human health. It is highly attractive to design high-performance desulfurization photocatalyst in environmental remediation. Herein, a novel and highly efficient photocatalyst boron-doped TiO 2 combined with MgAl-Layered double hydroxides (B-TiO 2 /LDH) was synthesized via an in-situ hydrothermal method. The B-TiO 2 /LDH photocatalyst exhibited outstanding photocatalytic performance with 100% H 2 S removal efficiency within 120 min under visible light irradiation. The B-TiO 2 /LDH photocatalyst also exhibits a good H 2 S removal efficiency in different desulfurization conditions and delivers remarkable stability in a long-term test. The sulfate formed on the surface of B-TiO 2 /LDH has been shown to favor the light-enhanced catalytic oxidation process. This work provides a promising idea for effectively treating malodorous gas and shows potential of using the novel B-TiO 2 /LDH photocatalyst for future environmental remediation.

The surface and interface stability of the electrode is an important factor affecting the electrochemical performance of the battery, and surface modification is an effective means to stabilize the electrode surface interface. In this paper, a TiO2–LiF composite coating layer with very stable chemical properties on the LiCoO2 (LCO) surface is prepared in one step. At the same time, surface doping is realized, which provided a stable surface structure for LCO and stabilized the interface between the electrode and electrolyte. Electrochemical test results show that in the range of 3–4.5 V, the capacity retention rate of the sample with a coating amount of 1% is 97.4% after 110 cycles at 0.2 C and a discharge capacity of 151.5 mAh g–1 at 5 C, while the bare electrode is only 67% (110th cycle) and 50.7 mAh g–1 under the same conditions. Even at 0.5 C within 3–4.6 V, the capacity retention rate of the coated sample is still as high as 88.6% after 100 cycles, showing excellent high-voltage cycle stability. Studies such as cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy show that the improvement in electrochemical performance is due to the coating layer effectively stabilizing the LCO surface composition and structure, alleviating the structural degradation of LCO, and optimizing the lithium-ion transport channel.

The inexpensive room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT Na-S) battery has attracted extensive attention due to its various potential application but is still suffering from the low utilization of sulfur, the shuttle effect and the sluggish reaction activity of sodium polysulfides (SPSs). In this work, a TiO 2 /sulfur/atomic-iron loaded carbon nanosheet cathode is designed for high performance RT Na-S battery. When the atomic iron exists, a much higher electrochemical activity of sulfur was obtained, indicating the atomic iron can accelerate the conversion of SPSs. Furthermore, the TiO 2 layer can inhibit the shuttle effect of SPSs and the side-reaction between the intermediates and carbonate electrolyte. As a result, the constructed sulfur cathode exhibits a high reversible capacity (569.9 mAh g −1 with an initial coulombic efficiency of 57.57%) at 0.1 A g −1 and outstanding cycling performance (507 mAh g −1 after 50 cycles). This work provides a new strategy for preparing high performance cathode materials for RT Na-S battery.
