Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction using atomically dispersed catalysts holds significant potential for addressing global energy and environmental challenges. However, the influence of d–d orbital interactions between metal centers and coordinated atoms remains underexplored. Herein, nickel phthalocyanine is anchored to the metal-exposed crystal face of TiO 2 , forming Ti–Ni–N 4 coordination. This configuration reveals that the axially coordinated Ti atoms serve as a novel electron channel with electron-donating ability, transferring electrons to the Ni center through d–d coupling. It is found that the dynamic adjustment of bond lengths and d-band centers in Ti–Ni bonding during CO 2 photoreduction process can effectively modulate the adsorption strengths of the Ni center for different intermediates. This leads to a significant enhancement in the photocatalytic performance for CO 2 reduction to CO without a sacrificial reagent, achieving an exceptional CO evolution rate of 378.5 μmol g −1 . Furthermore, the d–d coupling mediated by Ti–Ni–N 4 coordination increases the vacancy formation energy of active sites, preventing the leaching of Ni active centers. This study provides a strategy for the precise design of d–d orbital regulation and resistance to demetallization in photocatalysts for efficient CO 2 conversion. Graphic abstract

Rapid and accurate pathogen detection is critical for optimizing clinical decision-making within precision medicine frameworks, specifically for identifying Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in wound infections. Most of conventional detection methods suffer from procedural complexity, protracted analysis times, and insufficient sensitivity, thereby constraining their clinical deployment. In this work, an optical fiber surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor enhanced by Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene was developed for detecting S. aureus , biofunctionalized with goat anti-human immunoglobulin G (IgG). The optimal thickness of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene layer, determined to be approximately 94 nm based on maximizing figure of merit (FOM) of 17.88 RIU −1 , yielded high sensitivity and low full width at half maximum (FWHM). By monitoring SPR wavelength shifts in the transmission spectra, the sensor was employed to detect S. aureus with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 1.14 CFU/mL and a high sensitivity of 3.063 nm/log (CFU/mL). It exhibited excellent linearity across the concentration range of 10 2 –10 8 CFU/mL, alongside high stability and selectivity. Validation using S. aureus -infected wound tissue from diabetic murine models exhibited a precision exceeding 97 %. This technology represents a promising avenue for developing next-generation, high-performance biosensing platforms with significant translational potential in precision medicine diagnostics.

Carbon materials are commonly integrated with TiO 2 to achieve high carrier mobility and excellent photocatalytic performance, and the chemical bond between TiO 2 − C is considered as a significant strategy to enhance efficiency. Nevertheless, few analyses have elucidated the formation mechanism of Ti 3 + − C bonds and the underlying reasons for the performance enhancement. To address these issues, this study conducts an in-depth investigation into the electronic structure of TiO 2 − C and demonstrates that the charge in the nonbonding molecular orbital t 2 g of Ti 3 + is transferred to the unoccupied 2 p energy level of C through the formation of 1π and 2π bonds, i.e., (Ti 3 d xz - C 2 p y ) and (Ti 3 d xy - C 2 p x ). The hybridization of t 2 g -2 p orbitals endows the Ti 3 + − C bond with higher carrier mobility and a stronger binding force, thereby contributing to stable photocatalytic H 2 production. Inspired by this scenario, the NSTiO 2 /rGO hybrid architecture, featuring the {101}/{001} surface heterojunction and the Ti 3 + − C interfacial chemical bond, has been constructed. As a result, the hybrid catalyst exhibited excellent photocatalytic cycling stability of 92.9 % $92.9 \,\%$ and an H 2 evolution rate of 33.4 mmolh −1 g −1 . This work proposes a strategy for designing efficient photocatalyst by regulating orbitals to achieve high-performance photocatalytic methanol splitting.

In this work, Ti/TiO2-RNTs/SnO2–Sb–Ni-La electrodes were developed in three deposition stages. TiO2-RNTs improved the bonding of the bottom layer, and Ni–La codoping resulted in higher film stability. Compared with other electrodes, this electrode exhibits excellent performance with a denser structure, higher OEP (2.17 V), lower Rct (5.36 Ω), longer electrode strengthening life, and larger active specific surface area. The degradation of oily wastewater revealed an oil removal rate equal to 97.88% under optimal conditions. In comparison to the Ti/TiO2-RNTs/SnO2–Sb obtained via the one-step hydrothermal technique, the service life improved by 8.60 times, and the degradation rate (RD) of the current electrode (k = 0.0254 min–1) was enhanced by 2.67 times, whereas the removal rate remained stable after 10 cycles. Under the continuous attack of free radicals such as •OH, 48 types of organic matter in wash oil were decomposed, and most of the alkanes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were mineralized. Compared with direct current, pulse current electrolysis of the oil-washing wastewater can save 47.95% electrical energy, and the energy consumption of chemical oxygen demand removal per unit mass can be reduced by 72.02%. Therefore, the Ti/TiO2-RNTs/SnO2–Sb–Ni-La pulse electrochemical oxidation method is expected to reduce energy loss and improve the electrochemical treatment of oily wastewater.

Potassium-ion batteries have emerged not only as low-cost alternatives to lithium-ion batteries, but also as high-voltage energy storage systems. However, their development is still encumbered by the scarcity of high-performance electrode materials that can endure successive potassium-ion uptake. Herein, a hydrated Bi-Ti bimetallic ethylene glycol (H-Bi-Ti-EG) compound is reported as a new high-capacity and stable anode material for potassium storage. H-Bi-Ti-EG possesses a long-range disordered layered framework, which helps to facilitate electrolyte ingress into the entire Bi nanoparticles. A suite of spectroscopic analyses reveals the in situ formation Bi nanoparticles within the organic polymer matrix, which can alleviate stresses caused by the huge volume expansion/contraction during deep cycles, thereby maintaining the superior structural integrity of H-Bi-Ti-EG organic anode. As expected, H-Bi-Ti-EG anode exhibits a high capacity and superior long-term cycling stability. Importantly for potassium storage, it can be cycled at current densities of 0.1, 0.5, 1, and 2 Ag −1 for 800, 700, 1000, and even 6000 cycles, retaining charging capacities of 361, 206, 185, and 85.8 mAh g −1 , respectively. The scalable synthetic method along with the outstanding electrochemical performance of hydrated Bi-Ti-EG, which is superior to other reported Bi-based anode materials, places it as a promising anode material for high-performance potassium storage.

Ti-doped bismuth ferrite thin films were prepared via sol–gel spin-coating method. The effects of titanium on the microstructure, optical, leakage, ferroelectric and photovoltaic characteristics have been investigated systematically. The result shows that bismuth ferrite thin films doped with 0–8 at.% Ti are rhombohedral distortion perovskite structure. The addition of titanium inhibits the grain growth and enhances the thickness uniformity and can decrease the band gap of bismuth ferrite thin films. The leakage current of bismuth ferrite thin films is effectively reduced by adding a certain amount of titanium and the leakage mechanism has been investigated. Addition of titanium increases the remnant polarization of the films. As titanium content increases, the short circuit photocurrent density decrease first and then increase, while the open circuit photovoltage increase first and then decrease. The power conversion efficiency of Ti-doped bismuth ferrite thin films increases as titanium content increases, which can be explained as a result of the increased remnant polarization and decreased band gap.

The efficient and economic heteroatom-implanting method for MWW-type zeolite has been the focus of attention and needs further exploration. Ti incorporated MWW zeolite was synthesized by sequential treatment of boron-containing zeolite precursor. The catalysts were applied to the epoxidation of 1-hexene. The implanting titanium process was conducted under a mild condition with Ti(SO 4 ) 2 /NH 4 HF 2 /HNO 3 solution, and the product Ti-MWW precursors have framework titanium alone, the novel method is named as refluxing and implanting titanium method which integrates acid treatment and titanium incorporation into one step and reduces the consumption of time of this process into 1 h. A density functional theory was conducted to explain the formation mechanism of interlayer-expanded structure of Ti-MWW zeolite. Subsequently, Ti-MWW precursors were treated in modified reagent solution to obtain larger pore structure, which increase the conversion of 1-hexene from 20.45 to 62.96%. The catalytic performance of Ti-MWW zeolite in this work are superior to Ti-MWW zeolite synthesized by traditional dry-gel conversion method the conversion of 1-hexene of which was 4.2%. This novel method is a promising approach for the synthesis of high catalytic performance heteroatomic zeolite. Graphical abstract

Alkylation of benzene to value-added, high octane number and low toxic toluene and xylenes provides a way to lower benzene content in gasoline pool, and is hence a method to promote fuel quality. On the other hand, CO 2 accumulation in the atmosphere causes global warming and requires effective route for its valorization. Utilization of CO 2 as a carbon source for benzene alkylation could achieve both goals. Herein, alkylation of benzene with CO 2 and H 2 was realized by a series of low-cost bifunctional catalysts containing zinc/titanium oxides (Zn/Ti oxides) and HZSM-5 molecular sieves in a fixed-bed reactor. By regulating and controlling oxygen vacancies of Zn/Ti oxides and the acidities of HZSM-5, benzene conversion and CO 2 conversion reached 28.7% and 29.9% respectively, along with a total selectivity of toluene and xylene higher than 90%. In this process, more than 25% CO 2 was effectively utilized and incorporated into the target products. Moreover, the mechanism of the reaction was analyzed and the course was simultaneously traced. CO 2 was transformed into methanol firstly, and then methanol reacted with benzene generating toluene and xylene. The innovation provides a new method for upgrading of fuels and upcycling the emissions of CO 2 , which is of great environmental and economic benefits.

Ti–O–C channels for ultrafast sodium storage were constructed in N/S-co-doped TiO2–C nanofibers, which deliver a high rate performance of 181.9 mAh g–1 at 5 A g–1 after 3000 cycles. The existence of Ti–O–C bonds at the interface of TiO2–C phases was revealed by synchrotron radiation X-ray absorption spectra. Based on this, first-principles calculations further verified the low energy barrier for Na+ insertion/extraction in the Ti–O–C channels formed by the intimately integrated graphite layer with TiO2 near the surface. In addition, surface defects induced by heteroatoms accelerate the Na+ mass transfer through the pathway from the carbon surface to the Ti–O–C channel.

Li 2 MnSiO 4 cathode material suffers from structure collapse and thus rapid capacity fading during cycling. Here, we employed the stable [TiO 6 ] ligands as a local pillaring framework to improve the structural stability. Porous Li 2 MnSi 1- x Ti x O 4 /C nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by employing SBA-15 as Si source. Rietveld refinement revealed Ti substitution caused the phase composition transition (partial Pmnb to Pmn 2 1 phase), which contributed to higher charge/discharge capacity. XPS confirmed the positions of Ti 4+ and the formation of [TiO 6 ] octahedrons. 15 mol% Ti doped sample (S-LMST) showed a highest specific surface area of 114.25 m 2 g −1 and delivered a highest initial discharge capacity of 182.7 mAh g −1 under 1.5–4.8 V. Interestingly, S-LMST electrode presented excellent cycling stability, especially retaining ∼94% of initial discharge capacity after 8th cycles, while pristine Li 2 MnSiO 4 only retained ∼55%. Additionally, S-LMST electrode exhibited higher discharge capacity under lower cut-off voltage. The maximal initial discharge capacity can reach to 259.7 mAh g −1 in 1.5–4.6 V. The enhanced cycling stability can be mainly ascribed to the pillaring effect of [TiO 6 ] octahedrons and the decreased charge transfer resistance, as well as the improved Li + diffusion coefficient due to porous structure.

Abstract Diffusion limitation caused by microporous molecular sieves has always been a bottleneck problem in liquid phase epoxidation. In this study, several different carbon sources were used as hard templates to prepare hierarchically porous zeolite Ti-MWW (cTi-MWW) successfully. Compared with conventional Ti-MWW, cTi-MWW has an additional hierarchically porous structure and abundant pore structure distribution. Especially, the cTi-MWW prepared with polyethylene glycol1540 (PEG) as the hard template not only has a multiple hierarchically porous structure, but also exhibits small crystal size and good hydrophobicity properties studied by TEM and in situ FT-IR. At the same time, the cTi-MWW prepared with PEG exhibits better activity than the conventional Ti-MWW in the selective epoxidation reaction of allyl alcohol (AAL) with H 2 O 2 as oxidant and the conversion is improved by 11% (Si/Ti = 20). And a higher efficiency and longer catalyst life in fixed-bed catalytic reactor were exhibited by using cTi-MWW PEG as catalyst. The physicochemical properties of cTi-MWW prepared with different hard templates were systematically studied by SEM, XPS, UV–Vis, XRD and N 2 absorption–desorption techniques. This method is effective for the synthesis of cTi-MWW and significant for the preparation of hierarchically porous zeolites in industrial production. Graphic Abstract A hierarchically porous zeolite Ti-MWW prepared with different hard templates successfully. With the hierarchically porous structure, which have better adsorption, diffusion, and reactivity in liquid phase epoxidation, thus improving the catalytic activity. Especially, the hierarchically porous zeolite Ti-MWW prepared with polyethylene glycol exhibits small crystal size and good hydrophobicity properties.
