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.

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.

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.

Ti/SnO 2 -Sb electrodes possess high catalytic activity and efficiently degrade nitrobenzene (NB); however, their low service life limits their wide application. In this study, we used one-step hydrothermal synthesis to successfully prepare Pt-Nd co-doped Ti/SnO 2 -Sb nanosphere electrodes. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were applied to characterize the surface morphology, microstructure, and chemical composition of the electrodes, respectively. The electrochemical activity and stability of the electrodes were characterized via linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and an accelerated service life test; their performance for NB degradation was also studied. An appropriate amount of Pt-Nd co-doping refined the average grain size of SnO 2 and formed a uniform and compact coating on the electrode surface. The oxygen evolution potential, total voltammetric charge, and electron transfer resistance of the Ti/SnO 2 -Sb-Nd-Pt electrodes were 1.88 V, 3.77 mC/cm 2 , and 11.50 Ω, respectively. Hydroxy radical was the main active radical species during the electrolytic degradation of nitrobenzene with Ti/SnO 2 -Sb-Nd-Pt. After Pt-Nd co-doping, the accelerated service life of the electrodes was extended from 8.0 min to 78.2 h (500 mA/cm 2 ); although the NB degradation rate decreased from 94.1 to 80.6%, the total amount of theoretical catalytic degradation of NB in the effective working time increased from 17.4 to 8754.1 mg/cm 2 . These findings reveal good application potential for the electrodes and provide a reference for developing efficient and stable electrode materials.

In this investigation, we have employed a novel approach to fabricate β–Sialon/Ti(C, N) composites through the nitridation treatment of Ti 3 SiC 2 powder. At temperatures ranging from 1373 to 1773 K, the reaction process was subjected to a comprehensive analysis to explore the transformation of phase and microstructure. The findings unequivocally highlight the influence of α–Al 2 O 3 presence and the high specific surface area of Ti 3 SiC 2 powder, resulting in distinctive phase and structural evolutions post nitridation, distinctly different from those observed in bulk Ti 3 SiC 2 . The β–Sialon/Ti(C, N) composites produced via this innovative method exhibit uniform local chemical composition and meticulous regulation of grain morphology. Moreover, the synthesis mechanism of β–Sialon/Ti(C, N) composites under nitrogen ambiance was thoroughly discussed. This straightforward approach has the potential for extensive–scale synthesis of β–Sialon/Ti(C, N) composites, offering promising avenues for their application in developing high–performance refractories or structural ceramics tailored to withstand severe high–temperature environments.

With the development of traditional aluminum(Al)-based nanothermites, some problems on account of the metal Al powder gradually emerged. Therefore, extensive research is devoted to exploring novel metal fuels to achieve better energy release effects. Titanium (Ti) powder is a potential metal fuel theoretically considering of reducibility and calorific value , but it has rarely been reported in the field of nanothermites. This paper put forward the design strategy by selecting as the metal fuel and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as oxidant. According to the hydrophilicity of Ti powders, the PVDF film encapsulation can effectively improve hydrophobicity and storage stability. Another advantage of PVDF film state is that it imparts excellent mechanical properties (yield strength of 30.5 MPa and elongation at break of 202.8 %). According to the results of thermal analysis, Ti increased the thermal stability of PVDF while accelerated its thermal decomposition rate. In ignition properties, Ti-PVDF films have the shortest ignition delay time (217 ms) lower than results reported in the literature of other nanothermites under the same conditions. In addition, the energy release process of ignition combustion is analyzed and verified in this paper. Therefore, Ti-PVDF energetic ignition material with diverse properties is expected to be applied in more fields not limited to nanothermites.

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.

To further improve the ethanol sensing performance of LaFeO 3 (LFO) nanoparticles, the co-doping of acceptor and donor at La and Fe sites at equal mole amount was designed to increase the oxygen adsorbing ability of the resultant nanoparticles. A series of (La,Ba)(Fe,Ti)O 3 nanoparticles, with the designed mole ratios of Ba/La (Ti/Fe) as 0, 0.25, 0.33, 0.50, and 1.0, were prepared by a citric sol–gel method. XRD confirmed the main phase of orthorhombic LFO, and the impurity phases of cubic BaTiO 3 (BTO) and orthorhombic BaCO 3 . The incorporation of Ba and Ti into the LFO lattice was verified by the increased unit cell volume of LFO upon more doping. TEM, BET, and XPS measurements indicated that the appropriate co-doping of Ba and Ti into the LFO lattice and the simultaneous existence of BTO and BaCO 3 resulted in smaller grain size, larger BET surface area, and thus higher concentration of adsorbed oxygen species than those in the pristine LFO nanoparticle. Among all (La,Ba)(Fe,Ti)O 3 sensors, the sensor based on the (La,Ba)(Fe,Ti)O 3 nanoparticles with the designed Ba/La = 0.50 exhibited the highest gas response and sensitivity toward ethanol at the prime working temperature of 132 °C, which was ascribed to the higher surface oxygen coverage contributed by the synergistic effect of co-doping and impurity phases on the number of surface active sites and oxygen adsorbing ability.

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.

A novel magnetic nanomaterial for use in metal ion based affinity chromatography is described. It is based on the chelation between the phosphate groups of phytic acid (PA) and Ti(IV) ions. Due to the large number (6) of phosphate groups of PA, it has a large capacity for Ti(IV) ions. PA was first immobilized on magnetite nanoparticles (PA-MNPs) and then loaded with Ti(IV) ions to obtain the sorbent (Ti-PA-MNPs). The fraction of Ti(IV) ions on the surface of PA-MNPs that is exposed to the solution binds the phosphate groups of phosphopeptides. The bound phosphopeptides can then be magnetically separated. The method was applied to the enrichment of the phosphopeptides in a β-casein tryptic digest. A tryptic digest of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was added at a molar ratio (β-casein to BSA) of 1:2000 to study selectivity. The phosphopeptides were quantified by mass spectrometry. The limit of detection can be as low as 8 × 10 −10 mol L −1 . This sorbent has a high absorption capacity (53.5 μg mg -1 ) and shows good recoveries (90%). As many as 2145 phosphopeptides were isolated from 500 μg tryptic digest of a rat liver lysate after enrichment by Ti-PA-MNPs. This is superior to that (1568 phosphopeptides) of commercial TiO 2 kit.
Schematic presentation of fabrication for a novel modified magnetic nanomaterial (Ti-PA-MNPs) based on the chelation of phytic acid (PA) with Ti(IV) ions. Ti-PA-MNPs were successfully applied to enriching low abundance phosphopeptides from biosamples in mass spectrometric analysis.

Ti/SnO2-Sb-Fe electrodes have been prepared by a novel precipitation printing method, the traditional sol-gel method, and the direct current deposition method. The microstructure of the electrodes was systematically characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD) observation and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) verification. In addition, the morphology was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while the electrochemical properties and the stability were further investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and accelerated life testing. The results indicate that the Ti/SnO2-Sb-Fe electrode prepared by precipitation printing has the smallest nanoparticle structure (< 10 nm), a higher electrochemical porosity (49.6%), and a higher oxygen evolution potential (2.20 V). As a comparison, the Ti/SnO2-Sb-Fe electrode prepared by the sol-gel method has the longest service life. To further evaluate the electrocatalytic activity of the Ti/SnO2-Sb-Fe electrodes, Acid Red 73 was employed as simulated sewage for electrochemical degradation. After 180 min, the removal efficiency of AR 73 reached 86.8%, 63.4%, and 74%, respectively, for Ti/SnO2-Sb-Fe electrodes prepared by precipitation printing method, traditional sol-gel method, and direct current deposition method. Furthermore, the degradation of AR 73 followed pseudo-first-order kinetics.
