Antimony-free poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) has been synthesized through polycondensation of p -phthalic acid and ethylene glycol , and then subjected to a viscosity-increasing process by liquid-state polycondensation (LSP). For both of these processes, a novel environmentally benign ethylene glycol-soluble Ti/Mg bimetal (TM) catalyst has been used. The structure of the TM catalyst has been comprehensively characterized and its catalytic activity in the polycondensation reaction has been evaluated and compared with those of other titanium-based catalysts. The results reveal that the TM catalyst is a chelated complex with high catalytic activity for polycondensation to afford PET without significant side reactions. Indeed, the LSP process catalyzed by TM affords a PET product with high intrinsic viscosity suitable for industrial yarn production (1.08 dL/g) within 60 min, and that exhibits higher thermostability with increasing intrinsic viscosity. Finally, the kinetics of the TM-catalyzed polycondensation has been probed based on the variation of intrinsic viscosity with increasing polycondensation time.

Grain refinement is perfectly efficient for improving strength , but accompanies by a dramatic loss of ductility. Here we report a bimodal grain size structure design by inducing ultra-high strength TiZrNbTa high entropy alloy (HEA) with nanoscale grain size into pure Ti with coarse grain size to achieve the strength-strain balance by establishing bimodal grain size distribution (BGSD). Through optimizing the TiZrNbTa HEA content, the 60 wt.% TiZrNbTa/Ti titanium matrix composite (TMC) exhibits a yield strength of 1426 ± 30 MPa, ultimate compressive strength of 2133 ± 88 MPa, and an acceptable compressive strain of 22.3% ± 1.8%, respectively. The compressive yield strength of 60 wt.% TiZrNbTa/Ti TMC is 3.6-fold for c.p. Ti (393.0 ± 7.1 MPa). The unusual high strength is attributed to the nanoscale grain size provided by TiZrNbTa HEA, and the acceptable compressive strain is obtained from the co-effect of coarse grain Ti and TiZrNbTa HEA. The excellent mechanical properties of 60 wt.% TiZrNbTa/Ti TMC undoubtedly greatly increase the possibility of its application as an orthopedic implant in the biomedical field.

Solvent-free and low-template synthesis of zeolite materials is the future direction of zeolite production, which meets the requirements of green chemistry. Ti-Beta zeolite with opened channel systems of the 3-dimensional 12-membered ring is a promising industrial catalyst in the field of selective oxidations . Herein, nanosized Ti-Beta zeolites were successfully synthesized via interzeolite transformation of siliceous MOR zeolite using sample and commercially available tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH) as organic structure-directing agents under solvent-free and low-template-content (TEAOH/SiO 2 = 0.2) conditions within a short crystallization time. The crystallization mechanism and Ti coordinated state were thoroughly investigated by numerous characterization techniques. It was found that the hydrothermal synthesis of Ti-Beta-M zeolites obeyed a liquid crystallization mechanism, during which pre-dissolution of the silicon source MOR zeolite was a critical step in achieving successful crystallization. Ti 4+ ions mainly existed in the form of tetrahedrally coordinated states in zeolite framework. Thus Ti-Beta zeolites showed remarkable activity and reusability during the oxidative desulfurization of fuel oil. Moreover, the deactivated mechanism and regenerated method were also studied in detail. This work provides new guidance for solvent-free and low template content synthesis of metallosilicate zeolites.

Developing advanced electrocatalysts toward the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics is critical to fuel cells but still an enormous challenge at present. Here, we demonstrate a highly active and durable Pt-based ternary catalyst, ordered Pt3Co0.6Ti0.4 intermetallic nanoparticles (∼3 nm) supported on ZIF-8-derived mesoporous carbon (Pt3Co0.6Ti0.4/DMC). The Pt3Co0.6Ti0.4/DMC catalyst exhibits faster ORR kinetics compared to Pt3Co/DMC and commercial Pt/C with minimal activity loss (20.1%) and only 5 mV decay in half-wave potential after 20,000 potential cycles. More importantly, its improved performances have also been proven in the H2/air PEM single cell test. The theoretical calculations reveal that the substitution of Ti for Co induces a strengthened ligand effect and optimizes the surface electronic structure of Pt3Co0.6Ti0.4, resulting in the significantly enhanced ORR activity. This work provides a reliable and promising approach for the development of efficient and robust Pt-based ternary intermetallic electrocatalysts for practical fuel cell applications.

Electrochemical determination of tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) is vital to food safety due to negative health effects; however, bare electrode of traditional electrochemical sensors generally has a narrow linear range and low sensitivity, limiting their practical application. Accordingly, the nano-architecture fabricated with N-doped TiO 2 –carbon nano-composites (TiO 2 /NC) is prepared by the thermolysis of NH 2 functionalized MIL-125(Ti) metal–organic frameworks (NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)). TiO 2 /NC composites are firstly developed as the electrochemical material for electrochemical determination of TBHQ. The TiO 2 /NC composites with a highly porous structure, excellent conductivity and electron transportation, and large surface area show remarkable electrochemical oxidation ability for TBHQ. Under optimal conditions, TiO 2 /NC composite-modified electrode presents a broader linear response to TBHQ concentration of 0.05–100 μM with the detection limit as low as 4 nM (S/N = 3). Finally, the sensor platform is implemented directly to determine TBHQ in edible oil for evaluation of its practical application. TiO 2 /NC composites sensor fabricated perform larger linear range with high sensitivity and anti-interference properties, which can be used as a potential for electrochemical determination of TBHQ.

The treatment of arsenite pollution in water has always been concerned. Oxidation of high toxic As(III) to relatively low toxic As(V) by efficient photocatalytic oxidation technology is a research hotspot. This paper is focused on the active photocatalyst of TiO 2 @Fe 3 O 4 composites synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method for the efficient photocatalytic oxidation of As(Ⅲ). The successful construction of Ti–O–Fe interface bonds between TiO 2 and Fe 3 O 4 significantly promoted the transfer efficiency of photo-generated carriers, and further rapidly improved the photocatalytic oxidation efficiency of As(Ⅲ). The application results showed that the constructed TiO 2 @Fe 3 O 4 photocatalyst with 0.10 g Fe 3 O 4 (TF-0.10) could complete the transformation from As(Ⅲ) (10,000 μg/L) to As(Ⅴ) within 4 min with a high oxidation ratio of 100% and maintained the good properties with unchanged crystal structure after five cycles. Furthermore, the photocatalytic properties of TiO 2 @Fe 3 O 4 composites were still stable under different pH values. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) consequence displayed that the superoxide radical (‧O 2 — ) and hole (h + ) were the main intermediate product in the arsenic photocatalytic oxidation system, and hydroxyl radical (‧OH) had little effect on this oxidation system. The possible mechanism of As(Ⅲ) photocatalytic conversion was further explored based on the results of the data analysis. Furthermore, this work provides a potential new idea for the practicability of efficient photocatalytic arsenic oxidation.

Ni, Ce, and Ta modified Ti/SnO 2 –Sb 2 O 5 –RuO 2 anodes were first prepared by thermal decomposition strategy and applied for Orange G degradation to explore the effect of Ni, Ce, and Ta modification on electrocatalytic property. The Ta modified anode showed the highest ·OH generation capability and the lowest charge transfer resistance among all samples, conducive to electrocatalytic degradation of Orange G. Besides, the Ta modified anode shows more cracks than Ni and Ce modified anodes, which is expected to create more specific surface areas and more exposed active sites for Orange G degradation. The degradation efficiency and the total organic carbon (TOC) removal rate increased in the order Ru < Ru–Ni < Ru–Ce < Ru–Ta, with Ru–Ta showing the highest degradation efficiency of 98.6% and 44.2%, much higher than 79.6% and 27.5% of Ru, respectively.

A subtle flower-like MIL-125-NH 2 @BiOI was fabricated by a facile solvothermal method for simultaneously eliminating Cr(VI)/tetracycline mixed pollutants under visible light . The strong interaction between amino in MIL-125-NH 2 and Bi 3+ of BiOI promotes the formation of this unique inlaid structure and enables the favorable contact between MIL-125-NH 2 and BiOI, thus accelerating the transfer of charge carriers. Remarkably, MIL-125-NH 2 @BiOI displays a superior activity compared with that of two monomers for the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) and degradation of tetracycline . More significantly, the photocatalytic efficiency can be further boosted in the coexistence of Cr(VI) and tetracycline , which is 1.8 and 1.6 times that of single Cr(VI) and tetracycline, respectively. The synergistic effect between Cr(VI) reduction and tetracycline oxidative degradation can further facilitate the separation of photo-induced electrons and holes, resulting in the improved efficiencies in the Cr(VI)/tetracycline coexistent environment. This work sheds light on that MOF-based photocatalysts possess huge potential for practical environmental remediation.

Heteroatom metal-zeolite, with heteroatom metal (oxide) dispersed in the zeolite framework, enables the reactions typically catalyzed by bulk metal oxide counterpart but with maximized the atomic utilization. However, the distribution of heteroatoms in the framework is strongly influenced by the preparation method. In this work, Ti-Beta zeolites were postsynthesized using the recrystallization (Ti-Beta-Re) and solid-state ion-exchange (Ti-Beta-SSIE) methods. Characterizations showed that more Ti species were incorporated in the tetrahedral framework site of Ti-Beta-Re to form Lewis acid sites than in that of Ti-Beta-SSIE. In addition, intra-crystallite mesopores were developed in Ti-Beta-Re due to partial dissolution of BEA framework during alkaline etching and subsequent recrystallization of the etched framework. These zeolites were then tested for ketonization of biomass derived propionic acid at 350 °C and atmospheric pressure. The turnover frequency of ketonization was found to be 25% higher on Ti-Beta-Re (0.25 min −1 ) than on Ti-Beta-SSIE (0.20 min −1 ), whereas the apparent activation energy of 80 kJ/mol on Ti-Beta-Re is lower than 95 kJ/mol on Ti-Beta-SSIE. Moreover, the selectivity of 3-pentanone kept > 95% on Ti-Beta-Re while it dropped to ∼63% on Ti-Beta-SSIE with increase of reaction time at a space time of 2 h. This work demonstrated that the tetrahedrally coordinated Ti species are the active sites and the presence of intra-crystallite mesopores facilitates selective ketonization of carboxylic acids.

This article prepared a nanoparticle (NP) Ti-PDA made from bis (2-hydroxy propionic acid) diammonium titanium hydroxide (Ti-BALDH) chelating dopamine (DA), as a photocatalyst to absorb and reduce hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) under visible light with recycling ability from waste water. Ti-PDA NPs with part of TiO 2 -like structure can perform some function of TiO 2 , while participation of PDA will not only broaden absorption spectrum from UV to visible light, but offer the ability to absorb Cr(VI). Compared with TiO 2 Ti-PDA NPs would make full use of sunlight, increasing the photocatalytic efficiency. The adsorption results of Ti-PDA NPs for Cr(VI) showed that the adsorption capacity of Ti-PDA NPs can reach 500.24 mg/g when the concentration of Cr(VI) was 300 mg/L, and the adsorption data matched well with the Langmuir isotherm model, and confirmed to a quasi-second-order dynamics. Under visible light irradiation, Ti-PDA NPs could reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) within 30 min, and can almost completely reduce Cr(VI) within 15 min even at pH = 4. After three cycles, photocatalytic reduction efficiency was still 95.02%. Thereby the toxic Cr(VI) can be effectively eliminated by Ti-PDA NPs from sewage. As a result, Ti-PDA will be a promising green photocatalyst to remove Cr(VI) in disposal of water pollution.

The current study presents a comprehensive and novel attempt to degrade aqueous tri(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) by metal-oxide-coated Ti anodes for the first time. Six metal-oxide-coated Ti electrodes (Ti/SnO 2 -Sb, Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/PbO 2 , Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/La-PbO 2 , Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/Ce-PbO 2 , Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/Ga-PbO 2 and Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/Zr-PbO 2 ) were prepared and characterized. Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/La-PbO 2 showed the highest pseudo-first-order reaction rate constant (2.1 × 10 −2 min −1 ) and lowest energy consumption (21.35 Wh L −1 ) in the degradation of 1 mg L −1 TCEP at 10 mA cm −2 , mainly because of its highest oxygen evolution potential and OH production. Higher current density and neutral condition favored TCEP degradation, while the presence of Cl − or NO 3 − could suppress the degradation. In the electrochemical degradation of 10 mg L −1 TCEP, mineralization percentage of 48.0% (mineralization current efficiency of 0.30%) and PO 4 3− release percentage of 72.7% were achieved at 150 min. By the attack of OH on the C O and C Cl bonds in TCEP molecular structure, products of chloroethanol, Cl − and PO 4 3− were released, with the major electrocatalytic degradation pathways of dechlorination and hydroxylation. Based on the results of flow cytometry, the relative toxicity to Escherichia coli effectively decreased to 4.93% in TCEP degradation. Compared with the UV-AOPs, electrochemical oxidation process is proved to be feasible and effective for mineralization and detoxification of TCEP in water.

Zinc (Zn) and its biocompatible and biodegradable alloys have substantial potential for use in orthopedic implants. Nevertheless, pure Zn with a hexagonal close-packed crystal structure has only two independent slip systems, therefore exhibiting extremely low elongation and yield strength in its as-cast condition, which restricts its clinical applications. In this study, as-cast Zn–xTi (titanium) (x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, and 0.30 wt.%) binary alloys were hot-rolled and their microstructures, mechanical properties , wear resistance, and cytocompatibility were comprehensively investigated for orthopedic implant applications. The microstructures of both as-cast and hot-rolled Zn–xTi alloys consisted of an α-Zn matrix phase and a TiZn 16 phase, while Zn–0.2Ti and Zn–0.3Ti exhibited a finer α-Zn phase due to the grain-refining effect of Ti. The hot-rolled Zn–0.2Ti alloy exhibited the highest yield strength (144.5 MPa), ultimate strength (218.7 MPa), and elongation (54.2%) among all the Zn–xTi alloys. The corrosion resistance of Zn–xTi alloys in Hanks’ solution decreased with increasing addition of Ti, and the hot-rolled Zn–0.3Ti alloy exhibited the highest corrosion rates of 432 μm/y as measured by electrochemical testing and 57.9 μm/y as measured by immersion testing. The as-cast Zn–xTi alloys showed lower wear losses than their hot-rolled counterparts. The extracts of hot-rolled Zn–xTi alloys at concentrations of ≤ 25% showed no cytotoxicity to MG-63 osteosarcoma cells and the extracts of Zn–xTi alloys exhibited enhanced cytocompatibility with increasing Ti content.
