In cases involving high levels of sulfur loading or high levels of current discharge, constructing sulfur composite cathodes via traditional coating preparation processes is an unsuitable way to overcome intractable problems relating to cathodes for use in lithium–sulfur batteries, such as poor conductivity, severe volume expansion, and the detrimental shuttle effect. Herein, a novel three-dimensional self-supported TiO2@C membrane with hierarchical interlinked porosity and oxygen vacancies was prepared via a phase-inversion method to act as a sulfur host. The procured TiO2−x@C membrane facilitates the infiltration of electrolyte, provides fast lithium-ion and electron transport channels and abundant sulfur loading sites, and shows superb structural buffering against the large volume changes during the conversion process between sulfur and lithium sulfide. More importantly, the introduction of oxygen vacancies not only enhances the conductivity of the original TiO2, but it also improves the corresponding adsorption abilities toward polysulfides and the subsequent transformation dynamics. Therefore, the TiO2−x@C membrane can significantly inhibit the polysulfide shuttle effect through polar chemisorption and conversion catalysis. Based on the above superiorities, the TiO2−x@C/S membrane electrode exhibits an impressive lifespan of more than 500 cycles at 2 C with a prominent ultimate specific discharge capacity of 715.2 mA h g−1.

In this work, beta zeolite supported Ti 3+ -TiO 2 /CdS heterojunction was prepared for photodegradation of tetracycline under visible-light irradiation, and zeolite served as a support for the high dispersions of the Ti 3+ -TiO 2 nanoparticles . The obtained zeolite/Ti 3+ -TiO 2 /CdS heterojunction showed a relatively high surface areas of approximately 63.2 m 2 g −1 , much higher than those of the prepared Ti 3+ -TiO 2 /CdS (27.1 m 2 g −1 ), Ti 3+ -TiO 2 (36.5 m 2 g −1 ), and CdS (31.1 m 2 g −1 ), strongly demonstrating the significant of zeolite for high dispersion of the Ti 3+ -TiO 2 /CdS composite. Besides, the experimental results also showed that the photocatalytic degradation efficiency could reach 78 % in 3 min for the zeolite/Ti 3+ -TiO 2 /CdS heterojunction, and the corresponding rate constant was as high as 0.788 min −1 , which was 26.90 times that of pristine Ti 3+ -TiO 2 , 2.24 times of pristine CdS , and 2.04 times of the Ti 3+ -TiO 2 /CdS composite, mainly because of the supporting effects of zeolite and the formation of Ti 3+ -TiO 2 /CdS heterostructure for highly enhanced charge separation. In addition, the trapping experiment revealed that the main reactive species involved in tetracycline degradation were attributed to the photo-generated holes and ⸱O 2 - species.

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.

β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Tm 3+ @ TiO 2 core-shell upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were synthesized and incorporated into the TiO 2 mesoporous layer of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Changes of the upconversion spectra of the UCNPs suggest the existence of the electron injection from NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Tm 3+ to the conduction band (CB) of TiO 2 through the NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Tm 3+ /TiO 2 nano-heterojunctions. The core-shell UCNPs that incorporated into the TiO 2 mesoporous layer not only act as the upconversion centers to use the NIR light but also serve as the light scatter centers to enhance the light harvesting. When using mesoporous layer containing the core-shell UCNPs in PSCs, the efficiency of the best devices is 16.27%, which is about 16.38% higher than that of the devices without core-shell UCNPs (13.98%). The significant enhancement in the performance of the PSCs is attributed to light scattering, NIR light upconversion and electron injection from the UCNPs to the CB of TiO 2 .

A visible light-driven photoelectrocatalytic system was constructed based on Bi/Bi 2 O 3 /TiO 2 nanotubes (NTs) to treat wastewater containing oxytetracycline and Cu 2+ mixed pollutants. The surface morphology , crystal phase, elemental composition , light absorption property and photoelectrochemical activity of the synthesized Bi/Bi 2 O 3 /TiO 2 NTs were investigated. The composite film , Bi/Bi 2 O 3 /TiO 2 NTs was used for the photoelectrochemical removal of oxytetracycline, and it had excellent visible light photoelectrocatalytic performance. Under optimal conditions, the composite film was simultaneously used to remove coexisting oxytetracycline-Cu 2+ . The study results show that the reduction of Cu 2+ on cathode was promoted by oxytetracycline while the degradation of oxytetracycline on photoanode was slightly suppressed by Cu 2+ . Also, possible photoelectrocatalytic degradation pathways for oxytetracycline-Cu 2+ were analyzed by HPLC-MS.

Polyoxometalates (POMs) demonstrate potential for application in the development of integrated smart energy devices based on bifunctional electrochromic (EC) optical modulation and electrochemical energy storage. Herein, a nanocomposite thin film composed of a vanadium-substituted Dawson-type POM, i.e., K7[P2W17VO62]·18H2O, and TiO2nanowires were constructed via the combination of hydrothermal and layer-by-layer self-assembly methods. Through scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy characterisations, it was found that the TiO2nanowire substrate acts as a skeleton to adsorb POM nanoparticles, thereby avoiding the aggregation or stacking of POM particles. The unique three-dimensional core−shell structures of these nanocomposites with high specific surface areas increases the number of active sites during the reaction process and shortens the ion diffusion pathway, thereby improving the electrochemical activities and electrical conductivities. Compared with pure POM thin films, the composite films showed improved EC properties with a significant optical contrast (38.32% at 580 nm), a short response time (1.65 and 1.64 s for colouring and bleaching, respectively), an excellent colouration efficiency (116.5 cm2C−1), and satisfactory energy-storage properties (volumetric capacitance = 297.1 F cm−3at 0.2 mA cm−2). Finally, a solid-state electrochromic energy-storage (EES) device was fabricated using the composite film as the cathode. After charging, the constructed device was able to light up a single light-emitting diode for 20 s. These results highlight the promising features of POM-based EES devices and demonstrate their potential for use in a wide range of applications, such as smart windows, military camouflage, sensors, and intelligent systems.

To improve inkjet printing performance, surface single encapsulation of nano-TiO2 particles has widely been reported. However, surface single encapsulation has a limited effect on improving the inkjet printing performance of nano-TiO2 particles. In this study, SiO2 nanoparticle-decorated TiO2 (SiO2/TiO2) nanocomposites modified with silane coupling agents were obtained by a two-step method to improve the inkjet printing performance. The effects of different Na2SiO3 concentrations on the morphology, particle size, and opacity performance of SiO2/TiO2 nanocomposites were studied. The results showed that when the molar ratio of Na2SiO3 to TiO2 was 0.06:1, SiO2/TiO2 nanocomposites showed the best dispersibility and the best opacity performance. Then, the effect of different silane coupling agents on the properties of curing films was investigated. The results showed that the properties (opacity performance, tensile properties, thermal stability, and color fastness) of the KH570-SiO2/TiO2 nanocomposite curing film were greatly improved. The characteristic peaks in the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed that SiO2 nanoparticles were anchored at the nano-TiO2 particle surface via Si–O–Ti bonds, and silane coupling agents were successfully grafted onto the SiO2/TiO2 nanocomposite surface via Si–O–Si/Si–O–Ti bonds. In addition, it was verified that the double bonds of KH570-SiO2/TiO2 nanocomposites participated in the photopolymerization of oligomers/monomers by FTIR.

Spurred by the threat of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), the idea of reducing Cr(VI) into less toxic Cr(III) has been commonly studied. Here, we used a facile photodeposition method to modify inverse opal TiO2 (i.o.TiO2) with cobalt phosphate (Co-Pi), and the resulting composite was applied for photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI). This is the first time that an inverse opal structure as well as a Co-Pi catalyst is applied in the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI). In addition, the combination of i.o.TiO2 and Co-Pi achieves high visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity, which is better than that of the pure Co-Pi catalyst and unmodified i.o.TiO2. Experimental results demonstrated that the Co-Pi in the composite could absorb a large amount of visible light and then inject electrons into the conduction band of i.o.TiO2 which subsequently participate in the reduction reaction of Cr(VI). Moreover, the inverse opal structure of the catalyst possesses the advantages of having a large surface area and efficient light harvesting ability, leading to the better catalytic activity of Co-Pi/i.o.TiO2 than Co-Pi/bulk TiO2 and Co-Pi/P25. It's also proved that this Co-Pi/i.o.TiO2 photocatalyst can efficiently remove organic pollutants together with Cr(VI). This study provides new insights into the design and fabrication of efficient photocatalysts for the removal of environmental pollutants under visible light.

The development of high-efficiency heterojunction with improved photocatalytic property is regarded as a promising way to decontaminate wastewater. In this study, Z-Scheme g-C 3 N 4 /H-TiO 2 heterojunctions with different proportions were synthesized. The photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) was studied under visible light irradiation. Among them, 10% g-C 3 N 4 /H-TiO 2 photocatalyst had the best performance, and the degradation rate of RhB was 65% within 120 min. In addition, 10% g-C 3 N 4 /H-TiO 2 photocatalyst had high stability, and its photocatalytic activity did not decrease significantly after four cycles. Through photocurrent analysis, it is found that the photogenerated carriers have obviously excellent separation and transfer characteristics, which makes the 10% g-C 3 N 4 /H-TiO 2 photocatalyst have good degradation performance. Electron paramagnetic resonance (ESR) experiments showed that ·OH and ·O 2 − were active radicals during degradation.

A multi-functional kaolinite-based compound (AST@Kaol) was prepared by successive loading of TiO 2 and SiO 2 to the surface of metakaolinite (Kaol), followed by reaction with γ-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES). The hybrid was then introduced to epoxy resin (EP) to enhance flame retardancy, smoke suppression and anti-aging properties. The results demonstrated the presence of only 3 wt% AST@Kaol can increase the value of limit oxygen index (LOI) of EP composite to 27.3% from 25.3% of neat EP, as well as decrease the value of heat release rate , total smoke release and the smoke density by 36.9, 14.3 and 19.9%, respectively, compared to neat EP. Besides, the thermal stability and thermal oxidative resistance of EP composites was enhanced. The mechanism of fire retardancy, anti-ageing and mechanical of the EP composite containing AST@Kaol was also speculated.

Dielectric capacitors have attracted increasing attention for their fast charge–discharge speeds as well as high power density, and they have been widely used in advanced electronics and electric power systems. Here, dopamine-modified TiO 2 (TiO 2 @PDA) nanosheets were synthesized via hydrothermal reaction and in situ polymerization. Then the synthesized TiO 2 @PDA nanosheets were introduced into the poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix via solution blending. Our results reveal that loading a small amount of TiO 2 @PDA nanosheets can effectively enhance the energy storage performance of the nanocomposites. For example, a superior discharge energy density with 10.53 J/cm 3 is obtained for the 9 wt.% TiO 2 @PDA/PVDF nanocomposite at 195 MV/m, which is 1.75 times as large as discharge energy density of pure PVDF (6.01 J/cm 3 at 170 MV/m). Such significant improvement is due to the large aspect ratio as well as dopamine modification of the TiO 2 nanosheets. The study provides a feasible way to prepare the nanocomposites with excellent energy storage performance.

MgCr 2 O 4 is a potential infrared radiation material for high-temperature furnaces energy-saving. However, poisonous Cr 6+ is easily formed in MgCr 2 O 4 -based materials during the preparation process, which is harmful to the environment. In this study, TiO 2 -doped MgCr 2 O 4 materials were prepared at 1600 ℃ by solid-phase sintering method. The effects of TiO 2 as a dopant on the infrared radiation properties of MgCr 2 O 4 and the leaching concentration of Cr 6+ were investigated, and the mechanism was discussed. Results show that the emissivity of MgCr 2 O 4 in both near-infrared and mid-infrared bands is enhanced with the increase of TiO 2 content, and the specimen MgCr 1.6 Ti 0.4 O 4.2 has the highest average emissivity in the 0.8–2.5 μm and 2.5–10.0 μm bands, which are 0.82 and 0.87, respectively. Moreover, the addition of TiO 2 significantly reduces the Cr 6+ content of MgCr 2 O 4 , with the Cr 6+ removal rate of MgCr 1.6 Ti 0.4 O 4.2 up to 84.2 %.
