Titanium aluminum carbide (Ti 3 AlC 2 and Ti 2 AlC) powders were synthesized from TiH 2 powders instead of Ti powders as Ti source by a tube furnace under argon atmosphere without preliminary dehydrogenation. 95 wt% pure Ti 3 AlC 2 powders were synthesized from TiH 2 /1.1Al/2TiC at 1 450 °C for 120 min. High-purity Ti 2 AlC powders were also prepared from 3TiH 2 /1.5Al/C and 2TiH 2 /1.5Al/TiC powders at 1 400 °C for 120 min. The as-synthesized samples were porous and easy to be ground into powders. Sn or Si additives in starting materials increased the purity of synthesized Ti 3 AlC 2 obviously and expanded the temperature range for the synthesis of Ti 3 AlC 2 . With Si or Sn as additives, high pure Ti 3 AlC 2 was synthesized at 1 200 °C for 60 min from TiH 2 / x Si/Al/2TiC and TiH 2 / x Sn/Al/2TiC ( x = 0.1, 0.2), respectively.

In present work, the ternary Ni-Ti-CeO 2 composite coatings were electrodeposited on Al matrix composite (CNT/7075) in traditional Watts' solution containing various concentrations of CeO 2 nanoparticles and constant concentration of Ti microparticles . The effects of CeO 2 nanoparticles on microstructure and corrosion resistance of the obtained composite coatings were comprehensively investigated. The incorporation of moderate CeO 2 nanoparticles (less than 10 g L − 1 in Watts' solution) gave rise to grain refinement, random-orientation growth of nickel deposit and smooth surface of the composite coating. Corrosion tests of the Ni-Ti-CeO 2 composite coatings in 3.5 wt% sodium chloride (NaCl) at 25 °C illustrated the optimised microstructure favoured the enhancement of corrosion resistance. Further analyses of the corrosion behavior demonstrated that the embedded CeO 2 nanoparticles facilitated the formation of a compact passive film on the surface of the composite coatings during corrosion and promoted the formation of TiO 2 on the surface of Ti microparticles. The formation of TiO 2 not only protected the Ti metal particles but also helped to improve the corrosion resistance of the composite coatings, because the TiO 2 coated Ti microparticles decreased the attack probability of nickel deposits by corrosive medium. Typically, the Ni-Ti-CeO 2 composite coating electrodeposited in Watts' solution containing 10 g L − 1 CeO 2 nanoparticles possessed the best corrosion resistance and excessive CeO 2 nanoparticles deteriorated the corrosion resistance.

The photocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol and the simultaneous evolution of hydrogen from water are efficient dual-optimal routes. It is important to develop composite catalysts that combine redox properties and facilitate electron–hole separation and transport. Herein, the bimetallic-doped Mo-ZIS@Ti photocatalyst was designed and synthesized, and the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol and hydrogen evolution by water splitting was realized at the same time. Under visible light irradiation, benzyl alcohol was completely converted with more than 99% selectivity for benzaldehyde, and the H2 production rate was 5.6 times higher than the initial ZIS. The exceptional catalytic performance was ascribed to utilizing Ti-MIL-125 as a precursor, wherein slowly releasing-doped Ti formed robust Ti–S bonds that quickly transfer electrons and reduce sites. Meanwhile, doping Mo effectively captures photogenerated holes and acts as active sites for oxidation reactions. Both experimental characterization and work function calculations demonstrate that the bimetallic synergism effectively modulates the electronic structure of ZIS, promotes the directional separation of electrons and holes, and significantly improves the photoactivity and stability of ZIS. This work contributes a route to obtain benzaldehyde and green hydrogen at the same time and also gives new insights for the construction and mechanism study of bimetallic-doping catalysts.

Antibiotic wastewater poses a significant threat to the global environment and human health. In this work, Ni-Ti bimetallic Metal-Organic Frameworks (NT-MOF) were synthesized as effective photocatalysts to remove tetracycline (TC) from water under visible light irradiation. The photocatalysts underwent characterization using techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), N 2 adsorption-desorption, and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Photocatalytic tests were conducted under visible light conditions (λ>420 nm). The enhanced performance is mainly due to the presence of Ni in NT-MOF changing the shape and structure of the samples, reducing electron-hole recombination, thus promoting the charge separation process. These findings have significant implications for the development of efficient and sustainable methods for the removal of TC from wastewater.

The traditional Pb-Ag anodes used in zinc electrowinning exhibit high overpotential for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and poor mechanical strength, leading to high energy consumption. To overcome the shortcomings, Ti/SnO 2 -Sb 2 O 4 /PbO 2 -La-doped MnCo 2 O 4.5 composite anode was prepared by this work. It demonstrated enhanced electrochemical performance, requiring 565 mV to reach the benchmark current density of 50 mA cm −2 , and the Tafel slop of 179.79 mV dec –1 in the acidic media containing 50 g L –1 Zn 2+ and 150 g L –1 H 2 SO 4 . According to the results of XPS, the content of Mn 4+ and Co 3+ increased, which was beneficial to promote the OER catalytic activity of the electrode. The current efficiency was improved by 1.7 % compared with traditional Pb-0.76 % Ag anode, resulting in a significant reduction in energy consumption of 477.46 kW∙h for producing one ton of zinc. Moreover, the Ti/SnO 2 -Sb 2 O 4 /PbO 2 -La-doped MnCo 2 O 4.5 anode showed excellent corrosion resistance, and the accelerated service time was extended to 50 h at 2 A cm −2 . The service life of the electrode was extended thanks to the introduction of the intermediate layer and La-doped MnCo 2 O 4.5 powder. Therefore, this work provided a novel strategy to prepare the anodes with enhanced electrochemical performance applied in zinc electrowinning and other aspects.

Microplastics (MPs) in the aqueous environments has attracted widespread attention because of its potential risk to human health.Its high stability makes it difficult to be degraded and long term presence in the environment. Therefore, it is crucial to find an efficient and clean technology to remove microplastics in water. The advanced electrocatalysis oxidation process (AEOP) shows great potential for application. In this work, We focused on preparing Ti/Sb-SnO 2 electrodes doped with different rare earth elements (La, Ce, Sm or Nd) as active layer by sol-gel method. The electrooxidation system has efficiently degraded MPs in aqueous solution. The optimal parameters for the removal of MPs were electrode spacing of 1.5 cm, current density of 46.67 mA·cm −2 , Na 2 SO 4 electrolyte concentration of 0.22 mol·L −1 , and initial solution pH of 7. After 3 h, MPs removal rate by Ti/La-Sb-SnO 2 system reached 28.3 %, which was higher than the Ti/Ce-Sb-SnO 2 , Ti/Sm-Sb-SnO 2 , Ti/Nd-Sb-SnO 2 and Ti/Sb-SnO 2 electrode, the removal rates were increased by 8.23 %, 10.13 %, 16.28 % and 77 %, respectively. Electrochemical performance tests and •OH (Hydroxyl radicals) generation results indicated that the surface of Ti/La-Sb-SnO 2 electrode had abundant active sites, which promoted the formation of •OH to degrade microplastics effectively. In summary, the rare earth element-doped Ti/Sb-SnO 2 electrode provides crucial technological support for the electrooxidative removal of microplastics from water.

A kind of novel compound Ba 1-x (Zr,Ti)Si 3 O 9 :xEu simultaneously activated by different-valence Eu 2+ and Eu 3+ ions has been successfully synthesized. The existence of Ti 4+ -O 2- charge transfer (CT) transitions in Ba 1-x ZrSi 3 O 9 :xEu is proved by the photoluminescence spectra and first principle calculations, and the Ti 4+ ions come from the impurities in commercial ZrO 2 raw materials. Under the excitation of multi-wavelength ultraviolet radiation (λ EX = 392, 260, 180 nm), Ba 1-x ZrSi 3 O 9 :xEu (x = 0.15) can directly emit nearly white light. The coexistence of multiple luminescent centers and the energy transfer among Zr 4+ -O 2- CT state, Ti 4+ -O 2- CT state, Eu 2+ and Eu 3+ ions play important roles in the white light emission. Ba 1-x ZrSi 3 O 9 :xEu (x = 0.15) has good thermal stability, in particular, the intensity of emission spectrum (λ EX = 392 nm) at 150 °C is ∼96% of that at room temperature. In general, the multi-wavelength ultraviolet-excited single-phase white light emitting phosphor Ba 1-x (Zr,Ti)Si 3 O 9 :xEu possesses a promise for applications in white light emitting diodes (WLEDs), agriculture, medicine and other photonic fields.

Iron phthalocyanine (PcFe) was loaded on Ti-MCM-41 as visible light photocatalyst (R-PcFe/Ti-MCM-41). Dibenzothiophene (DBT) was photooxidized using R-PcFe/Ti-MCM-41 as a photocatalyst, air as an oxidant, and ionic liquid as the extraction agent during visible light irradiation at room temperature and ambient conditions. The results indicated that photocatalytic efficiency of the amino iron phthalocyanine (NH 2 -PcFe)/Ti-MCM-41 was superior to the other substituent groups. The DBT content in the model oil decreased from 1000 to 44 μg/mL with 95.6% removal rate under the optimal reaction conditions (model oil 10 mL, photocatalyst NH 2 -PcFe/Ti-MCM-41 0.02 g, loading amount of NH 2 -PcFe 0.3 g/g, air flow rate 100 mL/min, reaction time 2 h, room temperature). The kinetics of photocatalytic oxidation of DBT follows first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 1.319 h −1 and halftime of 0.525 h. The photocatalyst NH 2 -PcFe/Ti-MCM-41 was reused for five times, and the catalytic activity decreased slightly. The photocatalytic oxidation system demonstrated significant desulfurization effects on different sulfur compounds and real gasoline, and the sulfur content of the actual gasoline could be reduced from 1000 to 78 ppm.

Br − -containing wastewater has the risk of increasing Br − levels in receiving bodies if released into aquatic environments. Electrochemical oxidation is regarded as an ideal method for Br − removal and Br 2 extraction because of its simple procedure and high efficiency. In this work, a novel oxygen vacancy enriched Ti/O v -Co 3 O 4 -NRs electrode was fabricated and used for Br − removal and Br 2 extraction in Br − -containing wastewater. Characterization and experimental results showed that the Ti/O v -Co 3 O 4 -NRs electrode has more prominent bromine evolution reaction (BER) performance than several commercial electrodes (graphite, Ti/RuO 2 -Ir, Ti/PbO 2, etc.). Notably, the construction of oxygen vacancies obviously accelerated the removal of Br − (53 % improvement) by facilitating Br − adsorption and electron transfer. In addition, the influence factors such as initial pH, initial Br − concentration, current density, coexisting ions and temperature on Br − removal were optimized. The Ti/O v -Co 3 O 4 -NRs electrode also exhibited highly stable catalytic activity and conductivity. After 10 cycles, the removal rate of Br − decreased by 2.20 %, and the yield of Br 2 decreased by 3.6 %. In actual applications, the unit energy consumption reached 1.59–1.76 kJ·g −1 Br, and the current efficiency remained above 70 % throughout the whole treatment process. In addition, >80 % of the TOC could be removed during Br 2 extraction, which was more acceptable than the current reported experimental value of electrochemical Br 2 extraction and exhibited great application prospects.

The rapid spread of microbial contamination and drug-resistant bacteria poses a significant threat to ecosystems and public health, highlighting the urgent need for efficient and stable disinfection materials. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising functional materials for a variety of applications due to their regular microstructure and excellent physicochemical properties. However, their long-term use is limited by intrinsic instability. In this study, we designed copper nanolayers as protective armor for titanium-based MOFs (Cu/Ti-MOFs) to enhance their catalytic performance in photocatalytic disinfection under visible-light irradiation. The results demonstrated that Cu/Ti-MOFs exhibited slightly improved antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) , Staphylococcus aureus , and tetracycline-resistant E. coli compared to Ti-MOFs. More importantly, Cu/Ti-MOFs retained 92 % of their initial activity after seven consecutive catalytic cycles, whereas Ti-MOFs completely lost their photosensitive properties, indicating much higher catalytic stability of Cu/Ti-MOFs. This improvement was confirmed through various physicochemical characterizations and was attributed to the protection of active sites, catalyst reinforcement, and efficient surface reconstruction due to the introduction of the Cu nanolayer. This study provides a strategy for enhancing the long-term performance of MOF materials in photocatalytic water disinfection applications.

Concrete corrosion in wastewater pipelines is caused by biogenic sulfuric acid produced locally by sulfur-oxidizing microorganisms. Concrete mixtures are commonly modified to prevent this form of corrosion by adding biocides to inhibit their biological activities. However, using biocides is not always desirable because of their limited lifespan and potential for leaching into the environment. Therefore, there is a need to develop more durable alternatives to prevent microbial-induced corrosion of concrete. In this study, three types of Cu-Ti amorphous alloys (Cu 35 Ti 65 , Cu 50 Ti 50, and Cu 65 Ti 35 ) were prepared by ball milling, and compared with commercially available TiO 2 nanoparticles to assess their effects on the resistance of the microbial-induced corrosion performance of mortar. Detailed investigations were conducted on the appearance, mechanical properties, and corrosion depth of mortars at various exposure durations in an accelerated biocorrosion environment. The results revealed that the mortars mixed with Cu 35 Ti 65 , Cu 50 Ti 50 , Cu 65 Ti 35 , and TiO 2 nanoparticles exhibited significantly better resistance to microbial-induced corrosion than the reference mortars. The resistance to microbial-induced corrosion of the mortar mixed with Cu 50 Ti 50 was the best. The superior antimicrobial corrosion performance of the mortar containing Cu-Ti amorphous alloy is influenced by both smaller particle sizes and higher sterilization performance. These findings can contribute to the development of novel applications of amorphous alloys in functional concrete.

Titanium alloy chemical milling wastewater contains a significant amount of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (EGBE), which is toxic and difficult to be degraded by microorganisms, and the emission will lead to severe environmental pollution. To solve this problem, the electrocatalytic oxidation method was employed to remove EGBE in the wastewater, in which a porous Ti 4 O 7 /Ti electrode were prepared and employed as the anode, while stainless steel acted as the cathode. The effects of current density, interelectrode distance, and stirring mode on the COD removal rate were also investigated. Results show that the COD of the wastewater significantly decreases from 12410 to 15 mg L −1 after 16 h of electrolysis at 10 mA cm −2 and electrode spacing of 1.0 cm as well as aeration stirring at 100 mL min −1 . Moreover, pilot-plant scale testing reveals that the COD decreasing from 11980 to 183 mg L −1 after 24 h of electrolysis. Consequently, the utilization of porous Ti 4 O 7 /Ti electrode as anode in the electrocatalytic oxidation method presents significant potential in removal of EGBE in aviation industry wastewater.
