Control over the self-assembly of micro- and nano-scopic building blocks is highly important but very challenging in the fabrication of many hierarchical composite materials. We prepared a novel electrospun nanofiber on the basis of Pickering emulsion synergy-stabilized by titanium dioxide/modified sodium alginate/polyoxyethylene(TiO2/Ugi-Alg/PEO). The emulsion stability was evaluated using turbiscan stability index, rheology and confocal laser scanning microscope. The results showed that TiO2/Ugi-Alg/PEO could form a relatively thick interfacial particle film at the oil-water interface, which was helpful to reduce the extent of agglomeration among droplets due to the steric hindrance mechanism. Pickering emulsion was utilized as a template to prepare nanofibers with uniform and orderly distribution of TiO2 by electrospinning technology, which had a good photodegradation effect on pesticide lambda-cyhalothrin residues. The self-assembly of nanoparticles at the oil-water interface and its combination with electrospinning technology to prepare nanofibers containing TiO2 photodegradation activity are expected to be a new strategy to avoid pesticide long persistence period in the soil environment.

Defect engineering and heterojunction are the two dominant methods to improve the efficiency of semiconductor photocatalysis . Loading can also improve the performance of photocatalysts and solve the problems of photocatalyst agglomeration and difficult recovery in water. In this paper, a ternary ZnIn 2 S 4 /TiO 2 /MS-SiO 2 composite photocatalyst (EG-ZIS/TS) was constructed by sequentially loading nano-TiO 2 and defective state ZnIn 2 S 4 (EG-ZIS) on industrial by-product SiO 2 microspheres (MS-SiO 2 ). Among them, EG-ZIS was prepared with ethylene glycol as a solvent. Compared with EG-ZIS/T (unloaded MS-SiO 2 ) and ZIS/TS (non-defected state ZnIn 2 S 4 ), the degradation performance of methyl orange (MO) solution and the reduction performance of hexavalent chromium under simulated daylight irradiation were substantially improved. As a result, Zn defects enhanced the photocatalytic performance of ZnIn 2 S 4 and the heterojunction between ZnIn 2 S 4 and TiO 2 , and this enhancement was achieved by adjusting the work function of the system and promoting interface electronic transmission. The loading of MS-SiO 2 further produced a synergistic effect of enhancing the heterojunction photocatalytic efficiency by improving the dispersion and immobilization of TiO 2 and EG-ZIS. The effect of ethylene glycol on the curvature and surface Zn defectivity of ZnIn 2 S 4 nanosheets was also investigated in this study. This study provides an innovative approach to improve the oxidation and reduction performance of photocatalysts by combining semiconductor defect, heterojunction, and loading on the carrier surface and finds that the loading of photocatalysts on the SiO 2 carrier surface has an enhancement effect on the performance of the formed heterojunction. This thesis is useful and informative for related research.

A novel composite nanostructure which is made up of TiO 2 three dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) nanostructure and TiO 2 nanorods (NRs) has been successfully synthesized through a combination of colloidal crystal template technology and hydrothermal method, then we achieved its combination with Ag nanoparticles (NPs) via a silver mirror reaction. We studied the SERS (Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering) performance of the obtained structure, the results show that our samples are very sensitive substrates when being used to detect dye R6G molecules, with a low detection concentration of 10 − 1 1 M. This proves that it is a promising material in the area of analyzing and molecule-level detecting as a kind of novel and low-cost SERS substrate.

A heterostructured TiO2/Co nanoparticle/N-doped carbon nanotube (TiO2/Co/NCNT) nanomaterial was derived from ZIF-67@TiO2 by calcination at high temperature in an Ar/H2 atmosphere. The obtained TiO2/Co/NCNT composite was made up of numerous dodecahedron-like boxes with twisting nanotubes on surfaces, modified on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the electrochemical determination of tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ). The excellent electrocatalytic performance of TBHQ could be owing to the combination of multi-phase composition, fast electron transfer and the constructed Co/Ti multi-active sites. The TiO2/Co/NCNT sensor showed a broad linearity from 0.04 to 100 μM with a low detection limit of 4 nM, and possessed stability, anti-interfering ability and reproducibility. Finally, the analytical utility of the TiO2/Co/NCNT sensor was checked by detecting TBHQ in edible oil.

The bamboo charcoal/nano-TiO 2 (BC/TiO 2 ) composite material is designed and prepared for further improving photocatalytic property of TiO 2 . Assessment of BC/TiO 2 composite material and its application in photocatalytic coating are investigated by nitrogen absorption test, scanning electron microscopy-energy disperse spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) characterization and photocatalytic and mechanical properties analysis. The results show that optimal ratio of TiO 2 to BC is 0.03. Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation ratio can reach 62.9% under 4 h UV light irradiation, which is 43.7% higher than pure TiO 2 sample. The specific surface area (S BET ) and the total average pore size ( \(\overline {D}\) ) of BC/TiO 2 can reach 388.33 m 2 /g and 3.71 nm, respectively. Moreover, the photocatalytic coatings prepared mainly by BC/TiO 2 and polyacrylic emulsion (PAE), not only show satisfactory mechanical properties, but also have excellent photocatalytic property. When the addition of BC/TiO 2 composite materials is 6%, the photocatalytic property of coating is optimal, RhB degradation ratio can reach 83.7% under 8 h UV light irradiation. Also the adhesion, pencil hardness and impact resistance reach 2 level, 2H and 44 kg cm, respectively.

Novel Z-scheme ZnIn 2 S 4 /TiO 2-x photocatalyst was successfully fabricated through self-sacrificing template-chemical bath deposition combined with a NaBH 4 reduction method for the first time. It was found that ZnIn 2 S 4 /TiO 2-x exhibited high-efficient visible-light photocatalytic RhB degradation of 91 % within 40 min, which was almost 45.5, 1.2, and 6.1 times better than that of TiO 2 , ZnIn 2 S 4 /TiO 2 , and TiO 2-x , respectively. Moreover, an obscure change in catalytic activity can be observed after five recycles. The excellent photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect of Ov, ZnIn 2 S 4 , and MOF-derived TiO 2 , which extend the visible-light photoresponse range and promote the separation of photo-generated charge carriers.

TiO2micro-/nano-structures with different morphologies have been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The effects of the solvents on the morphology and structure of the obtained products have been studied. The objective of the present paper is to compare the photocatalytic properties of the obtained TiO2products. During the synthesis process, the tetrabutyl titanate and titanium (IV) fluoride were used as the titanium source. The obtained micro-/nano-structures were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. The photocatalytic activity of the samples was evaluated by the degradation of Rhodamine B solution under simulated solar irradiation. It is found that the morphologies and structures of TiO2have a great influence on its photocatalytic activity. Compared with other samples, TiO2flower clusters assembled with nanorods exhibited a superior photocatalytic activity in the degradation of Rhodamine B.Keywords:TiO2;different morphologies;photocatalytic activity;formation mechanisms

Supported Cu single-atom (Cu-SA) catalysts have exhibited unique activity and selectivity in CO 2 reduction, but they generally suffer from the easy transformation of active Cu δ+ into inactive Cu 0 . Herein, porous TiO 2 supported Cu single atoms (Cu-SAs/TiO 2 ) photocatalyst was fabricated and dioxygen (O 2 ) enhanced photocatalytic CO 2 reduction performance of Cu-SAs/TiO 2 was investigated by in-situ characterizations and theoretical calculations. The results showed that both activity and stability of Cu-SAs/TiO 2 photocatalyst could be improved by feeding a small amount of O 2 (117.6 ppm) in the reaction system. The competitive electron transfer to O 2 on Cu-SAs/TiO 2 maintained dynamic stability of Cu δ+ active sites, and O 2 -derived *OOH species lowered the formation energy barrier of key intermediate *COOH as well as delivered *H species for accelerating intermediates protonation process. Total yield rate of CH 4 and CO reached 34.64 μmol·g cat ·h −1 for CO 2 photoreduction over Cu-SAs/TiO 2 after introducing 117.6 ppm O 2 , accompanied by enhanced durability.

The application of Fe-based amorphous microspheres in high-performance electromagnetic wave absorbing materials is significantly limited by a single loss mechanism. Utilizing interfacial engineering and magnetic-dielectric synergistic effect is a viable approach to enhance microwave absorption. In this work, FeSiBCuNbZr amorphous microspheres were synthesized using single copper roller melt-spinning method and ball mill method. The finding reveals that the incorporation of SiO 2 and TiO 2 (B) (bronze phase TiO 2 ) shells notably enhances polarization loss and conductive loss. FeSiBCuNbZr@SiO 2 @TiO 2 (B) amorphous composites exhibited a minimum reflection loss value of −64.89 dB at a thickness of 2.17 mm and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 8.08 GHz covering 9–18 GHz at a thickness of 1.9 mm. The exceptional wave absorption performance is ascribed to the combined effect of magnetic loss in the FeSiBCuNbZr amorphous core and dielectric loss from the double-shell structure, while maintaining favorable impedance matching. This work provides a new core–shell FeSiBCuNbZr amorphous composites for efficient electromagnetic wave absorption.

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are interesting photocatalysts for solar fuel production and environmental pollution control. However, the poor stability and recombination probability of photogenerated electron-hole pairs prevented the practical applications of QDs based photocatalysts. Herein we demonstrated that the incorporation of amorphous titania (TiO 2 ) coatings with CuInS 2 /ZnS-TiO 2 heterostructures (CIS/ZnS-TiO 2 gel) can markedly boost photocatalytic performance and stability for Cr (VI) reduction. The promoted photocatalytic activity of CIS/ZnS-TiO 2 gel is associated with the enhanced light-absorption and distinctive heterojunction imposed by the integration of CIS/ZnS-TiO 2 with amorphous TiO 2 coatings, which drastically speed the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Moreover, the physical protection and photocorrosion-inhibition functions (receptors of photogenerated holes from CIS/ZnS QDs) arised from the amorphous TiO 2 coatings were mainly responsible for the promoted photostability of CIS/ZnS-TiO 2 gel. Our CIS/ZnS-TiO 2 gel retained over 90% of its initial activity under cycle tests, while the bared CIS/ZnS-TiO 2 showed a distinct reduction (approximately 35%) of its original efficiency due to the photocorrosion and weight-loss. Obviously, the incorporation of amorphous TiO 2 along with its bulk appearance of gel realized the enhanced photocatalytic performance with a favorable cycling stability. This strategy could be extended to other QDs-based photocatalysts in improving photocatalytic performance toward practical application.

The co-occurrence of arsenic and uranium in groundwater has been found in many countries, posing a significant challenge to human health. Here, we have demonstrated the efficient simultaneous removal of arsenic and uranyl-carbonate complexes from groundwater using {001}-TiO2. Surprisingly, the presence of U(VI) greatly enhanced the adsorption of As(V) on {001}-TiO2, while As(V) had a negligible impact on U(VI) adsorption. Through in situ ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, we uncovered a mechanism involving the formation of a ternary surface complex [Ti–U(VI)–As(V)] on the surface of {001}-TiO2. This ternary surface complex formed through the substitution of CO32- from uranyl coordination sites. Furthermore, the adsorbed As(V) and U(VI) can be easily recovered using a sodium hydroxide solution, and {001}-TiO2 can be used repeatedly. Our findings offer a promising solution for the simultaneous removal of As(V) and U(VI) from groundwater and provide valuable insights into the mechanisms involved in their removal.

In this study, humic acids (HAs) from three sources, peat, sediment and straw, used to coat nano-TiO 2 were investigated. The results indicated that HAs isolated from peat were aromatic-rich, whereas those isolated from sediment and straw were aliphatic-rich. The nano-TiO 2 sedimentation experiments indicated that the presence of aromatic-rich HAs was more capable of stabilizing nano-TiO 2 particles than was the presence of aliphatic-rich HAs. This result is because the deionized phenolic groups in the HAs were preferentially adsorbed on the nano-TiO 2 surfaces, which generated a higher charge density on the nano-TiO 2 surfaces and caused stronger repulsive forces among particles. Furthermore, the aromatic-rich TiO 2 -HA complexes exhibited a greater sorption capacity than the aliphatic-rich TiO 2 -HAs complexes and nonlinear phenanthrene sorption because of their higher affinity and the condensed state of aromatic fractions. Note that natural organic matters, such as humic acids, in aquatic environments can not only increase the stability of nanoparticles but can also influence the mobility of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs).
