The wetting of ZrB 2 ceramic by molten pure Cu, Cu-(20, 30, 40, 50 at.%)Ti alloys were performed by the sessile drop method under vacuum of ∼4 × 10 −4 Pa in the 1030−1070 °C temperature range. The wetting and interfacial behaviors of Cu-Ti/ZrB 2 systems were analyzed and discussed. Furthermore, the work of adhesion and electronic properties of the Cu(1 1 1)/ZrB 2 (0 0 0 1) and Ti(0 0 0 1)/ZrB 2 (0 0 0 1) atomic interfaces were quantitatively evaluated by first-principles method. The wettability is significantly improved with the Ti concentration or wetting temperature increasing as a result of the formation of (Ti) solid solution at interface. The calculated results show that the B-terminated ZrB 2 (0 0 0 1) surface is preferable to bond with Ti(0 0 0 1) surface, and the electronic structure reveals that the dominant interfacial bonding is the Ti-B ionic bond for the Ti/B-terminated ZrB 2 interface.

The para arsanilic acid ( p -ASA) used as feed additive in the poultry and swine industries tends to transform into more toxic inorganic arsenic (As(V) and As(III)), leading to a greater risk to human health and environmental system. In this study, simultaneous adsorption and oxidation of p -ASA was achieved by a synthesized highly efficient nanostructured Fe-Ti-Mn composite oxide (FTMO), with a high specific surface area of 424.7 m 2 /g. The maximum adsorption capacity for p -ASA could be as high as 45.6 mg/g, meanwhile the combined oxidation/photo-oxidation processes led to the formation of intermediate containing hydrazine group, however, without release of toxic inorganic As(III) and As(V). The p -ASA adsorption by FTMO was verified as the chemisorption process with the formation of inner-sphere complexes at the solid/water interface, which was prominently influenced by solution pH, coexisting ions and humic acid, however relatively insensitive to ionic strength. The systematic characterization by FTIR, XPS, EPR and XANES revealed that Fe phase of FTMO played the dominant role for p -ASA adsorption, while Mn and Ti phases were responsible for the oxidation and photo-oxidation of p -ASA, respectively.

The research aims to study the effect of adding mischmetal (Mm) to the TiFe0.86Mn0.07Co0.07alloy on its hydrogen storage performance and cyclic stability. The results show that TiFe0.86Mn0.07Co0.07+ x% Mm (x = 0,4,6,8) alloys can be easily activated. The hydrogen absorption capacity of TiFe0.86Mn0.07Co0.07+ 4% Mm reaches 1.76 wt% (mass fraction) at 298 K. With the increase of Mm addition, the hydrogen storage capacity decreases slightly. Furthermore, after 40 absorption and desorption cycles in hydrogen containing 250 ppm O2, the alloy still has 36% of its initial hydrogen storage capacity, and the alloy can recover 93% of its hydrogen storage capacity through heat treatment.Keywords:TiFe hydrogen storage alloys;life test;impure hydrogen gas;cyclic stability

Highly efficient and stable photocatalysts were synthesized at room temperature by modifying MIL-125(Ti) with N-doped carbon quantum dots (N/CM(Ti)). The N/CM(Ti) with 2.5 vol % N doped carbon quantum dots (N/CQDs) had the best light absorption and visible-light photocatalytic nitrogen oxide (NO) removal efficiency (approximately 49%). It was found through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis that a N–Ti–O bond was formed in the 2.5 vol % N/CM(Ti), which is more conducive to charge transfer. Photocurrent and electrochemical impedance data also showed that the carrier separation efficiency of 2.5 vol % N/CM(Ti) was significantly superior to that of MIL-125(Ti). In addition, the TiIII–TiIV of MIL-125(Ti) acts as the active center for photocatalytic removal of NO. Two possible electron migration paths were proposed: electron transfer from N/CQDs to TiIII–TiIV center of MIL-125(Ti) due to the photoinduced electron transfer property of N/CQDs, and absorption of UV light generated from the N/CQDs by the terephthalic acid ligand followed by electron transfer to metal active sites for photocatalytic removal of NO.

This study focused on the enhanced mechanism of electrochemical degradation of antibiotic norfloxacin (NOR) using a self-made Ti/SnO2-Sb2O3/α,β-Co-PbO2 electrode. The electrode characterization, reaction mechanism, degradation performance, and toxicity assessment were studied. In contrast to the conventional Ti/SnO2-Sb2O3/α,β-PbO2 electrode, our prepared Co-doped PbO2 electrode showed the characteristics of more compact surface, smaller crystal size, higher oxygen evolution potential (OEP) and an increased yield of ·OH concentration. The application of Co-doped PbO2 electrode for the electrochemical oxidation of NOR was systematically analyzed. The optimal operating parameters were found to be Na2SO4 concentration of 0.1 mol L−1, initial NOR concentration of 50 mg L−1, initial pH of 5 and current density of 20 mA cm−2. Under these conditions, NOR, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon (TOC) removals reached 85.29%, 43.65% and 41.89% after 60 min of electrolysis, respectively. Through the intermediates detected during the electrochemical treatment process, a reaction pathway involving decarboxylation, defluorination and piperazine ring-opening was proposed. Finally, the toxicity assessment of the treated NOR solution towards Vibrio fischeri rapidly fell to non-toxicity and even reached to negative values after 50 min of electrolysis, indicating that electrochemical oxidation of NOR is an effective approach to reduce its toxicity to environmental ecosystem.

Ti(C,N)-304ss cermets with various rare earth yttrium addition were fabricated via powder metallurgy . Fe and Cr atoms dissolved into Ti(C,N) grains and formed a core-rim structure. The first-principle method was employed to calculate the lattice parameters and elastic modulus of the solid solution. The formation of solid solution not only reduced the lattice misfit between the binder phase and hard phase but also improved the hardness of hard phase. The in-situ formed nano-Y 2 O 3 particles existed at the center of Ti(C,N) grains acting as ‘mid effect’ heteromorphic nuclei. The microstructure of cermets was refined with Y addition and the abnormal growth of hard phase was suppressed. The mechanical properties were also improved with Y addition. When the Y content reached 0.3 wt%, the optimal mechanical properties were obtained with a TRS value of 1527 MPa and a hardness value of 91.7 HRA.

Abstract A tricomponent catalyst comprising titanium tetrachloride, triisobutyl aluminum and diphenyl ether is developed for the highly cis -1,4-selective polymerization of isoprene. The influence of the content of diphenyl ether and its complexation order on polymerization, microstructure and performance of polyisoprene are studied. The polyisoprene synthesized presents high monomer conversion (91–99%). With the increasing of diphenyl ether content, intrinsic viscosity and viscosity-average molecular weight of polyisoprene increase. The molar percentage of cis -1,4-unit is almost unaffected by diphenyl ether and different complexation sequence. The polyisoprene reveals comparable T g (–61.31°C) and mechanical strengths (11.14 MPa, 667%) to commercially available LHIR-80 synthesized with neodymium. However, the viscosity and viscosity-average molecular weight of the former are lower than that of the latter, which avails the processability and maintains excellent mechanical properties.

Lattice disorder has emerged as a novel strategy to realize visible-light photocatalytic activity, but many existing studies often involved reduction states simultaneously. Photocatalysts based on only the lattice disorder but without the reduction states are still quite lacking and challenging. To this end, we explored a new type of lattice disorder in terms of the surface atom nonstoichiometry strategy in BaTiO3. Well-dispersed tetragonal BaTiO3 nanocrystals with a uniform size (∼20 nm) and cuboid morphology were hydrothermally synthesized through controlling over t-butylamine and oleic acid. HRTEM coupled with structural evolution analysis reveals the existence of a Ti-rich layer on BaTiO3 nanocrystals with surface atom disorder, which gives an overall Ti/Ba ratio of 1.50:1. This is mainly dominated by the oriented adsorption between oleic acid and surface Ba2+ of the nucleus during solution reaction. Such a surface disorder and Ti-rich nonstoichiometry effect could facilitate the enhanced visible-light absorption with a wavelength span of 400–700 nm that enables the superior visible-light photocatalytic property, which is not subject to the reduction states. This work demonstrates a first white material presenting a new type of lattice disorder that would be helpful for a wide range of photocatalyst explorations.

In the present study, a novel photocatalyst, CQDs@MIL-125(Ti) (CQDs = carbon quantum dots), was prepared via a solvothermal procedure. The photocatalytic properties were tested by the degradation of tetracycline (TC) with a 250 W Xe lamp (λ > 420 nm). Compared with pure MIL-125(Ti), the 10 wt% CQDs@MIL-125(Ti) photocatalyst can significantly improve the degradation process of TC, and the degradation efficiency can reach 90% within 4 h. The enhancement in the photocatalytic performance is due to the CQDs, which can promote the absorption of visible light and also efficiently accelerate the separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. We have also demonstrated that superoxide radicals (·O2−) and holes (h+) play crucial roles in the photocatalytic degradation of TC through capture experiments. The current work provides a new idea for constructing high-efficiency photocatalysts based on MIL-125(Ti).

In this work, a series of Ti(IV)/ZnIn2S4 composite photocatalysts were demonstrated by a facile two-step method. A Ti(IV) component was introduced into the flower-like ZnIn2S4 microspheres, which could act as an effective hole co-catalyst, shorten the charge migration distance, provide abundant active sites, inhibit the recombination of electron–hole pairs and mitigate the photocorrosion effect of ZnIn2S4. Benefiting from these favorable properties, the amorphous Ti(IV) modified ZnIn2S4 showed excellent H2 evolution performance which can reach 3685.2 μmol g−1 h−1, higher than that of pure ZnIn2S4 (2335.5 μmo g−1 h−1). Meanwhile, the modified ZnIn2S4 exhibits good stability after several consecutive hydrogen production runs. The photocatalytic purification of methyl orange (MO) in simulated wastewater was further tested. The degradation efficiencies, TOC removal, and highest hydrogen production were respectively 95%, 28.8% and 2650 μmol g−1 h−1. These results may provide an inspiration for tailoring multifunctional semiconductors with amorphous metal ions, which can be used as a photocatalytic H2 evolution catalyst with high-efficiency, as well as purifying the wastewater simultaneously.

CNTs/Cu-Ti composites were fabricated successfully by spray pyrolysis , low energy ball milling and subsequent hot pressing (HP). Microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites were characterized by SEM, EDS, HRTEM , XRD, hardness and tensile tests. The results reveal that in situ generated nano-TiC particles, as a transition phase from CNTs to Cu-Ti matrix, which played a “rivet” role in enhancing the interfacial bonding between the CNTs and Cu-Ti matrix is formed in the composites. Consequently, mechanical properties of the CNTs/Cu-Ti composites are enhanced compared with alloy matrix, and an optimal balance between elevated ultimate tensile strength and impressively larger plastic deformation is achieved by adding 0.4 wt% CNTs in the composites. (ultimate tensile strength (UTS) 352 MPa, elongation 28.2%, the UTS is 39% higher than that of the Cu-Ti alloy, and the ductility increased significantly by 62%.) Finally, strengthening and toughening mechanisms are discussed. This study provides new insights into the interface structure and strength-ductility in metal-matrix composites.

Cost-effective removal of refractory sulfur-containing compounds from oils is still a challenge. In this paper, a novel catalyst of molybdenum supported on Ti-pillared interlayer clay (Ti-PILC) was successfully prepared which performed well in oxidative desulfurization (ODS) with cyclohexanone peroxide (CYHPO) as oxidant under mild conditions. Performance of catalytic oxidation and removal of oxidation product were also studied. The oxidation rate of dibenzothiophene (DBT) reached 99.90% under the optimum reaction conditions. Mo/Ti-PILC catalyst showed higher activity than Mo/Na-MMT in ODS not only due to the pillared interlayer structure which contributed to better molybdenum dispersion and faster diffusion of reactants, but also the catalytic activity of titanium in the oxidative desulfurization of DBT. Oxidative product of sulfone which appeared as crystal in the model oil was filtered and sulfur concentration was reduced to below 10 mg/L. Catalytic activity would be almost unaffected after regenerating for 9 times, and the leaching of active species did not appear in the leaching experiment of the catalyst, which proved that it was real heterogeneous catalysis. Besides, kinetics data conformed to the pseudo-first-order equation pretty well. These results indicated that this desulfurization system was cost-effective for the removal of DBT from oils.
