Sucrose isomerase (SIase) is the key enzyme in the enzymatic synthesis of isomaltulose. Mesoporous titanium dioxide (M-TiO 2 ) and ε-poly- l -lysine-functionalized M-TiO 2 (EPL-M-TiO 2 ) were prepared as carriers for immobilizing SIase. SIase was effectively immobilized on EPL-M-TiO 2 (SI-EPL-M-TiO 2 ) with an enzyme activity of 39.41 U/g, and the enzymatic activity recovery rate up to 93.26%. The optimal pH and temperature of immobilized SIase were 6.0 and 30 °C, respectively. SI-EPL-M-TiO 2 was more stable in pH and thermal tests than SIase immobilized on M-TiO 2 and free SIase. K m of SI-EPL-M-TiO 2 was 204.92 mmol/L, and v max was 45.7 μmol/L/s. Batch catalysis reaction of sucrose by SI-EPL-M-TiO 2 was performed under the optimal conditions. The half-life period of SI-EPL-M-TiO 2 under continuous reaction was 114 h, and the conversion rate of sucrose after 16 batches consistently remained at around 95%, which indicates that SI-EPL-M-TiO 2 has good operational stability. Thus, SI-EPL-M-TiO 2 can be used as a biocatalyst in food industries.

TiO2 p-n heterojunctions modified with zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67), a metal-organic framework, were successfully fabricated by a solution self-assembly method, and their photoelectrochemical and photocathodic performance was investigated. The presence of the organic ligands in ZIF-67 enabled ZIF-67-TiO2 photoanodes to exhibit excellent stable cathodic protection performance under simulated sunlight illumination compared with traditional organic or inorganic cocatalysts. ZIF-67-TiO2 photoanodes could provide 12 h of effective and stable photocathodic protection for 304 stainless steel (304SS) in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. Experimental results revealed that the morphology of ZIF-67 cocatalysts affected the photoelectrochemical performance of ZIF-67-TiO2 photoanodes. Compared with large (∼900 nm) ZIF-67-modified TiO2, small (∼115 nm) ZIF-67-modified TiO2 demonstrated an upwardly shifted conduction band (CB) and faster separation and migration of photogenerated carriers. Furthermore, a photoanode made from small ZIF-67-modified TiO2 exhibited a lower photogenerated potential (−0.37 V) than the photoanodes made from large ZIF-67-modified TiO2 and TiO2, this photoanode could provide more effective photocathodic protection for 304SS.

The SiO 2 –TiO 2 superhydrophilic coatings with photocatalytic activity via heat curing over a low temperature of 100 ℃ were fabricated without a high-temperature calcination process. The effects of the composite ratio of SiO 2 and TiO 2 on the stability of the sols, different treatment processes on the crystalline morphology of TiO 2 , and different solid contents of the sols on the coating properties were investigated. The surface morphology, optical properties and mechanical properties of the coatings were characterised by a water contact angle (WCA) analyser, UV spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and multiple functional tests. The experimental results demonstrated that the SiO 2 –TiO 2 coating featuring both the intrinsic hydrophilicity of SiO 2 and photophilicity of TiO 2 had the WCA up to 3.5° and exhibited good photocatalytic, self-cleaning, anti-fogging, and mechanical properties.

In this study, grooved TiO 2 /ZrO 2 ceramic fibers were prepared via coaxial electrospinning, which exhibit enhanced thermal insulation and superior mechanical properties. The fibers were architected with a distinctive core-shell structure, comprising a TiO 2 shell that serves as an effective radiation shield and a ZrO 2 core that maintains mechanical robustness. The interdiffusion of Zr and Ti atoms at the interface facilitated a seamless transition between TiO 2 and ZrO 2 , effectively inhibiting TiO 2 grain coarsening and substantially enhancing the tensile strength of the fibers, exemplified by the 1.47 ± 0.08 MPa achieved in the TZ-5 sample. Through control of the injection rate during electrospinning, we optimized the fibrous morphology to attain a synergistic balance of strength, flexibility and thermal insulation. The fibers showcased exceptional thermal insulation properties with thermal conductivity values ranging from 0.0294 to 0.0278 W m −1 K −1 and an average infrared reflectance exceeding 87 %. Practical thermal insulation tests confirmed the superior insulation performance of the TiO 2 /ZrO 2 fibrous membranes.

Previous studies primarily considered TiO 2 as a nano-filler to accelerate cement hydration due to the nucleation site effect. However, hydroxyl free radicals (•OH), released from TiO 2 under UV irradiation, also exhibit great potential to accelerate cement hydration owing to their high nucleophilicity arising from unpaired electrons. This study is the first to reveal the accelerating mechanism of •OH generated by photoexcited nano-TiO 2 on cement hydration. Current experimental results indicated that 5.0 wt% addition of photoexcited nano-TiO 2 (under 6 h of UV irradiation during the early curing stage) improved the dissolution rate of tricalcium silicate (C 3 S) by 30 %, followed by a 35 % increase in the hydration degree of cement paste. More importantly, the polymerization degree and high-density content of C–S–H gels were also improved by 26 % and 13 %, accompanied by a 46 % reduction in porosity of the composites. All the aforementioned improvements were attributed to the presence of •OH generated by photoexcited nano-TiO 2 , which significantly accelerated cement hydration by accelerating C 3 S dissolution, facilitating faster nucleation and growth of C–S–H gels. In addition, the Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the accelerating effect of •OH on cement hydration may stem from the stronger interaction between •OH and the Ca ion on the C 3 S surface compared to the water molecule, and the increased surface nucleophilicity due to the dispersion of unpaired elections from •OH to all the O ions in the surface layer. These findings provide a high-efficiency approach to accelerate cement hydration by photoexcited nano-TiO 2 , thereby paving the way for the development of advanced and sustainable cement-based materials.

Ethanol sensors with low energy consumption and high performance have been applied in a wide range of areas. In this work, Pt-modified SnO 2 -TiO 2 composite nanomaterials prepared through ball milling and impregnation-reduction are fabricated for constructing microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) ethanol sensor. Tiny Pt nanoparticles are found uniformly dispersed on SnO₂-TiO₂. High quality gas-sensitive films are concentrated in the functional area of the MEMS chip. The loading of Pt significantly enhances the response to ethanol and reduced the optimal operating temperature. The 1.5% platinum-modified composite (A-ST) demonstrates a significant improvement in sensitivity to 50 ppm ethanol, with its response rising from 21.3 to 52.1, while the optimal operating temperature is reduced by 28°C, dropping from 288°C to 260°C. The limit of detection (LOD) is 240 ppb. This enhancement is primarily due to the n-n junction at the interface between SnO 2 and TiO 2 , along with the chemical and electronic sensitization effects generated by Pt on SnO 2 -TiO 2 .

In this paper, P O was grafted on the surface of rutile TiO 2 by one-step hydrothermal method . Due to the presence of the highly electronegative oxygen element, the surface of TiO 2 often presented an electron-deficient state, which limited its application in reduction reactions. Herein, the low electronegativity element P from the phosphate was grafted on the surface of TiO 2 to form a P O structure, which changes the electronic equilibrium state of the TiO 2 and provide a new channel for electron migration. The surface of TiO 2 presented an electron-enrich structure, which promoted the best hydrogen production performance around 28 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 on TiO 2 -P-0.01.

A solvothermal-induced assembly of a 2D-2D reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-TiO 2 mesoporous material with a laminar structure for membrane construction is reported, in which using 2D-2D rGO-TiO 2 as building blocks can preeminently enhance the separation properties of the as-prepared membrane without sacrificing the permeance. Taking advantage of the large specific surface area (324 m 2 /g) available for interfacial effects as well as interwoven stacking and narrow layer spacing of 2D morphologies for size exclusion, the fresh rGO-TiO 2 membrane exhibited excellent separation performance toward organic dye from water (>97.3% for Rhodamine B, Methyl orange, Methyl blue and Congo red), while achieving good permeance up to approximately 9.36 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 and an outstanding structural stability under the cross-flow process of filtration. More importantly, the reduced band gap energy (Eg) of 2D-2D rGO-TiO 2 membrane layer (2.77 eV) compared with that of the blank TiO 2 membrane (3.24 eV) allows the rGO-TiO 2 membrane to have an impressive self-cleaning ability and thus exhibits great potential application in the field of membrane separation .

In this experiment, Mn@TiO2 nanofibers in the form of membranes were fabricated by ordinary electrospinning and a higher temperature calcination process. Field-emission scanning, X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectra, UV-visible diffuse spectra, UV-visible spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) evaluation were used to characterize the resulting samples. The study revealed that, upon the addition of the manganese ion, the continuous and mechanical properties of the nanofibers and nanofilms were substantially enhanced. Notably, after 60 minutes, the Mn@TiO2-0.10 degradation efficiency reached 94.92% under ultraviolet light, which was 5 times greater than that for TiO2 nanofibers. It was due to the controlled mixture phase and palpable raised specific surface area, which ensured a pronounced enhanced photocatalytic activity of the nanofibers. In addition, the application of nanofibers on the capacitor aspect was explored by electrochemical workstations. The highest photoactivity sample performed mass-specific capacity as high as 5.09 F g−1. Such efficient capacity and higher photoactivity of the photocatalyst shed light on the preparation of soft inorganic materials and their application in energy conversion.

Kinetics play a critical role in the photoelectrochemical (PEC) system, whereas co-catalysis is mainly responsible for reducing the reaction barrier and facilitates water splitting. Here, the unsaturated Fe sites through the metal-organic framework (MOFs) structure promote the kinetics of water oxidation over TiO 2 are successfully in situ decorated. This heterostructure further helps us to better understand the PEC behaviors of organic–inorganic hybrid systems. MIL-100(Fe), as the typical MOFs model, is facilely achieved by an FeOOH sacrificial template method, a strategy which could anchor the compact and ultrathin MIL-100(Fe) films on the surface of TiO 2 to obtain abundant unsaturated Fe sites. The photocurrent density of MIL-100(Fe)/TiO 2 reaches about 2.4 times at 1.23 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) compared with bare TiO 2 , and the incident photon to current conversion efficiency value increases up to 47% (at 390 nm). Furthermore, the photocurrent density of MIL-100(Fe)/TiO 2 is maintained at 84% after 3 h, showing that the organic component of MIL-100(Fe) takes a nature of favorable stability. The configuration of MIL-100(Fe)/TiO 2 will bring a new insight for learning the basic function of unsaturated metal sites in the PEC system.

Hollow TiO 2 spheres were synthesized by template method, with the diameters was 200 nm and the thickness of shell about 30 nm. The high-quality perovskite films fabricated on the hollow TiO 2 mesoporous layer demonstrate smooth surface and large grain size, resulting in the better scattering light ability and fewer defects. The efficiency of the perovskite solar cells prepared on hollow mesoporous layer can reach 17.60%, which is an approximately 14% higher than the PCE of conventional mesoporous layer devices under the same condition. Importantly, the solar cells with hollow TiO 2 can exhibit better stability than the cells with mesoporous TiO 2 after aging 30 days in 65% relative humidity under dark conditions. The results indicate that the hollow TiO 2 mesoporous layer will be a candidate for better efficient and stable CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 perovskite solar cells, and this structure provides a direction for the design of novel mesoporous layers for perovskite solar cells in future.
