In this work, an efficient and novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor for 2,3′,5,5′-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB72) was constructed based on [email protected] [email protected] quantum dots ( [email protected] QDs)-decorated TiO 2 nanotubes (TiO 2 NTs). [email protected] QDs were prepared by the combination of CdTe and CdS with a proper lattice mismatch. Due to their large band offsets, [email protected] QDs can reduce undesirable carrier recombination, significantly improving their charge separation efficiency. Then the synthesized [email protected] QDs were modified on TiO 2 NTs ( [email protected] QDs/TiO 2 NTs) through electrostatic adsorption method. The as-prepared composites exhibit a wide visible light absorption range, good PEC activity and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. Also, the PEC aptasensor prepared via the immobilization of anti-PCB72 aptamer on the composites exhibits outstanding analytical performance with high sensitivity and specificity for PCB72 under visible-light irradiation, achieving a detection limit as low as 0.03 ng/L. It was also applied to detect PCB72 in four different real environmental samples with satisfactory results.

Li–CO 2 battery provides a new strategy to simultaneously solve the problems of energy storage and greenhouse effect. However, the severe polarization of CO 2 reduction and CO 2 evolution reaction impede the practical application. Herein, anodic TiO 2 nanotube arrays are first introduced as carbon-free and free-standing cathode for photo-assisted Li–CO 2 battery, and the photo-assisted charge and discharge mechanism is first clarified from the perspective of photocatalysis. Mixed-phase TiO 2 exhibits a long cycling life of 580 h (52 cycles) at 0.025 mA cm −2 and delivers a high discharge specific capacity of 3001 µAh cm −2 under UV illumination. The charge voltage dramatically reduces from 4.53 to 3.03 V under UV illumination. The improvement of photo-assisted Li–CO 2 battery performance relies on the synergistic effect of the hierarchical porous structure, strong UV absorption, efficient separation, and transfer of photo-generated electrons and holes at hetero-phase junction, and the facilitation of photo-generated electrons and holes on CO 2 reduction and CO 2 evolution reaction. This work can provide useful guidance for designing efficient photocathode for photo-assisted Li–CO 2 battery and other metal–air batteries.

In this work, a visible-light-driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform was developed based on BiOI nanoflowers/TiO 2 nanotubes (BiOI NFs/TiO 2 NTs) for detection of atrazine (ATZ). The BiOI NFs/TiO 2 NTs p–n heterojunctions synthesized by decorating BiOI NFs on TiO 2 NTs via simple hydrothermal approach exhibit strong visible-light absorption ability, high photocurrent response and PEC activity. Thus BiOI NFs/TiO 2 NTs heterostructures were first explored to act as the photoelectrode for the immobilization of the anti-ATZ aptamer to develop a PEC sensing platform. The design PEC aptasensing platform exhibits prominent analytical performance for determination of ATZ with a low detection limit of 0.5 pM under visible-light irradiation, and displays good selectivity for ATZ in the control experiments. The superior behavior of the sensing platform could be ascribed to the design of the appropriate sensing material with tubular microstructure, excellent PEC response of the photoelectrode, and the large loading amount of aptamer. Meanwhile, the PEC sensing platform was used to determine ATZ in environmental samples and a satisfied result was obtained.

In this study, mineralization of organic pollutants in polyaniline (PANI) wastewater was achieved by a combination of photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) and heterogeneous photocatalysis with black TiO2 nanotubes. Organics were decomposed by the •OH radicals and SO4–• radicals formed on the black TiO2 nanotube photocatalyst and at the IrO2/Ti anode during water oxidation and from the Fenton’s reaction between Fe2+ and generated H2O2. Poor chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal was obtained utilizing visible light/TiO2, anodic oxidation with generated H2O2 (AO-H2O2), visible light/black TiO2/AO-H2O2, and electro-Fenton. The mineralization was strongly increased by the PEF/black TiO2 process because of the photolysis of products under visible light irradiation; it was improved by coupled heterogeneous photocatalysis due to the additional •OH radicals at the black TiO2 nanotube surface. The results demonstrated that about 96.4% COD and 85% total organic carbon of PANI wastewater were removed after 360 min by the PEF/black TiO2 process under the optimal conditions. The black TiO2 nanotubes exhibited good stability as the mineralization ratio in 360 min which was still above 80% after 10 cycles’ degradation, showing that the black TiO2 nanotubes are powerful and promising photocatalysts for improving the removal efficiency of PANI wastewater.

Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a crucial parameter in assessing water quality. Due to the improved public awareness of environmental protection, the rapid, eco-friendly, and cost-effective methods for COD measurement are highly desired. This work proposes a new self-powered COD sensor (SPCS), based on a photocatalytic fuel cell composed of a FeN 5 single-atom nanozymes (FeN 5 SACs)/ITO cathode and a TiO 2 nanotube arrays (TiO 2 NTAs)/Ti photoanode. Because organic compounds are able to be involved as anodic fuels, the detection of COD with the SPCS could be achieved by simply measuring the deviation in short circuit current. The COD detection range is determined to be from 0.5 to 49.4 mg/L, with the limit of detection of 1.38 mg/L. The SPCS possesses satisfactory anti-interference ability against anions including Cl - and SO 4 2- , and high stability even after 60-day storage. For real sample analysis, satisfactory reproducibility (RSD < 6 %), and low relative error (2.48–6.52 %) have been obtained. Besides, the sensor offers the advantages of cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and fast response (< 1 min). Consequently, the SPCS could be regarded as a promising candidate for the sensing of COD.

Four different morphologies of TiO 2 were successfully synthesized and the morphological dependence of the catalytic performance was investigated for monitoring of n -hexane. TiO 2 nanotubes showed the best catalytic performance for the cataluminescence (CTL) reaction of n -hexane because of their high specific surface area and ordered arrangement. To further enhance catalytic activity, a TiO 2 nanotube@Mg-MOF-74 composite was synthesized, which was used to construct a CTL sensor for rapid detection of n -hexane rapidly; the introduction of Mg-MOF-74 improved the adsorption capacity and selectivity. A CTL sensor was constructed based on TiO 2 nanotube@Mg-MOF-74 for the rapid detection of n -hexane, Under the optimal conditions there was a good linear relationship between CTL signal intensity and the concentration of n -hexane in the range 0.20–200.0 mg/L. The detection limit (LOD, S/N = 3) was 0.08 mg/L. The RSD values for 11 consecutive measurements using the same sensor and 7 different sensors were 2.8% ( n = 11) and 3.5% ( n = 7), respectively, demonstrating good repeatability and reproducibility. Finally, the sensor was used to detect n -hexane in air samples from different workplaces, with recoveries ranging from 90.2 to 106.4%, showing good accuracy. Thus, the developed CTL sensor could be used for rapid detection of n -hexane in air, avoiding damage to health caused by excessive inhalation. Graphical abstract

We report novel hierarchical three-dimensional (3D) TiO2 nanotube-branched rutile TiO2 nanorod arrays (H-TiO2 NRAs) on FTO substrates that serve as model architecture for efficient quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSCs). The newly designed H-TiO2 NRA photoanode offers a large surface area for high QD loading with high light scattering properties. In the meantime, the presence of anatase–rutile heterojunction at the interface helps the rutile nanorods to efficiently collect photo-injected electrons from the anatase nanotubes, reducing electron recombination with the electrolyte and QDs. As a result, the H-TiO2 NRA photoanode with a thickness of only 1 μm, exhibits a solar energy conversion efficiency of 1.04%, which is 2.7 times higher than that found in the pristine nanorod array-based QDSCs, demonstrating the synergistic effect of rutile nanorods and anatase nanotubes for photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion.

In this work, to simultaneously remove organic dyes and Pb(II) from wastewater, a series of magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @C@TiO 2 -nanotube composites were designed and successfully synthesized via a new facile oil-phase cyclic magnetic adsorption (OCMA) method. The structural properties of the synthesized composites were investigated by different characterization methods systematically. It was found that Fe 3 O 4 was uniformly deposited on the inner walls of TiO 2 nanotubes. Although a Type III band alignment was formed in the catalysts, Fe 3 O 4 @C@TiO 2 -nanotube composites exhibited enhanced light absorbing ability and enlarged absorption edge due to efficient separation of h + and e − , which was verified by UV–Vis (Ultraviolet–visible) and PL (Photoluminescence) spectra. Decontamination experiments of 1FeCTi showed that more than 98% of RhB and about 92% of Pb(II) ions could be removed through adsorptive removal in the dark equilibrium period and further elimination during the illuminating period. The pseudo-first-order model, L-H model and adsorption-reaction model were established to describe the adsorption of Pb(II) in the dark, photodegradation of RhB and further elimination of Pb(II), respectively. A four-step mechanism was proposed to describe the decontamination process of Pb(II) during the illuminating period according to the final forms of Pb (Pb δ1 , Pb δ2 , Pb 0 and PbO). Finally, it was found that the photocatalytic activity would be maintained in the recycle experiments due to the existence of 1FeCTi@PbO heterostructure.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) seawater splitting can relive the shortage of purified water feedstocks . However, the corrosion from seawater on the photoelectrode becomes an uncertain influence factor for PEC performance. Developing an efficient and stable photoelectrode is a challenge. Herein, we present a Bi–BiOI shell-core microspheres modified TiO 2 nanotube arrays (TNA) photoanode prepared via solvothermal method , affording superior PEC hydrogen evolution activity in simulated seawater under AM1.5G light, which is 3.8 and 7.6 times than those of BiOI/TNA and TNA, respectively. Solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency of Bi–BiOI/TNA reaches to 2.21% with Faradaic efficiency up to 85.7%. Based on the optical and PEC measurements, it is verified that surface plasmon resonance effect of metallic Bi promotes transfer and separation of photogenerated charge and enhances visible-light absorption, thus benefiting higher PEC performance. Especially, Bi shell efficiently hinders the corrosion of BiOI by seawater. Our work provides a novel paradigm of photoanode for efficient and stable PEC seawater splitting.

Artificial photosynthesis relies on the photoreactions between the chemical molecules and photogenerated charges. The oxygen evolution reactions are regarded as the most difficult procedure, because they are multiple-step reactions with multiple charges transfer. Notwithstanding the extensive study on photoelectrochemical and photochemical water oxidation, understanding how the surface charge reacts with the chemical molecules is limited, especially the reaction kinetics of the surface charges. We prepared anatase TiO 2 nanotubes array and dense polycrystalline TiO 2 films on Ti substrates, where the photocurrent increased about 4–4.5 times on nanotubes compared with the dense films. Moreover, the surface charge reaction rate and the accumulated charge densities were analyzed by transient surface photovoltage and transient photocurrent techniques. It was found a 2nd-order charge reaction behavior could be found when the charge density was high, differently, a 1st-order charge reaction could be observed when the charge density was low. The nanotubes structures would in situ grow from the Ti substrates, which simultaneously enhanced charge separation and transfer kinetics to improve the PEC performance.

Highly ordered TiO 2 nanotube arrays (TiO 2 NTs) were synthesized by anodization method using a titanium foil and further modified with nanoparticles ( Ø = 2~10 nm) of three platinum group metals (that is, platinum, palladium, and ruthenium) through potentiostatic pulsed electrodeposition method to obtain the composite material. Compared with pure TiO 2 NTs, all the three composite samples (M-TiO 2 NTs, M = Pt, Pd, Ru) showed different enhancement effects on the light responses, as well as different photoelectrochemical performances. In this study, the performance of M-TiO 2 NTs, which worked as photoanode and cathode, was investigated. Ru-TiO 2 exhibited the best degradation yield (~ 85.8%) when applied as photoanode under visible light illumination, which indicated the platinum group metal could also be induced under visible irradiation, not just served as the co-catalyst. M-TiO 2 NTs as cathode were evaluated under the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The three M-TiO 2 NT electrodes showed an improved efficiency over pure TiO 2 NTs, while Pt-TiO 2 NTs performed even better (without any sacrificial agent) with higher Faradic efficiency than platinum electrode in the photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen production, which could be explained by the uniform and fine metal nanoparticles on the surface of TiO 2 NTs to offer abundant active sites for the reaction.
In this paper, TiO2 nanotube arrays loaded with nanoparticles of platinum group metals have been explored on their enhancement of photoelectrocatalytic activity. Platinum group metals served as co-catalyst in the surface of TiO2 nanotubes and show great variations in different reactions.

A novel photoelectrode of ternary CdS/Au/TiO2 nanotube array, fabricated by electrodeposition technique and successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method, shows strong photon absorption capacity and active charge transfer efficiency. A photoelectrochemical
aptasensor was developed to detect cytochrome c (cyt c) by decorating a HS-aptamer on the CdS/Au/TiO2 photoelectrode. Due to the specific binding between the cyt c and aptamer, the cyt c-aptamer complex formed and enhanced the steric hindrances and reduced the e/h
+
lifetimes, which result in a decrease in the photoelectrical current intensity. Cyt c is, therefore, also quantified based on the decrease in photoelectrical current. The developed aptasensor shows a high specificity and a high sensitivity towards to the cyt c, giving a linear range from 5
pM to 100 nM, and a limit of detection of 3.45 pM.
