Rutile TiO2pigments codoped with chromophore ion Cr3+and various charge-balancing ions (i.e., counterions species of Sb, Nb, W and Mo) were prepared by a solid-phase reaction method. The effects of the counterions and calcination temperatures on the phase structure, color-rendering and spectroscopic properties, microstructure, and stability of the synthesized pigments were investigated in detail. The results showed that the introduction of 5–10% counterions improved the solubility of Cr3+in the TiO2lattice to form the single-phase rutile pigments calcined at 1100 °C for 2 h. The 10% Cr-doped pigment showed a dark brown color. Depending on the content and type of counterions, the color of the codoped pigments was tailored from yellow to reddish or yellowish-orange to black with different brightness and hue. The influence mechanism of counterions was ascribed to the lattice distortion and variation in the charge balance condition. It was found that the addition of Sb, Nb, or Mo resulted in a remarkable improvement in the NIR reflectance of pigments. The grain growth was inhibited with the codoping of Cr/Sb and Cr/Nb to achieve the nano-sized pigments. In addition, the prepared pigments exhibited good acid and alkali corrosion resistance as well as excellent stability and coloring performance in transparent ceramic glazes.

(In + Nb) co-doped TiO 2 (TINO) rutile is an emerging material with a colossal dielectric permittivity (CP) and a low dielectric loss over wide temperature and frequency ranges. The electrical inhomogeneous nature of TINO ceramics is demonstrated by direct local current probing with high-resolution conductive atomic force microscopy (cAFM). The CP response in TINO is found to originate from the electron-pinned defect dipole induced conductive cluster effect and the electrode effect. Two types of dielectric relaxations are simultaneously observed due to these two effects. With the given synthesis condition, we found TINO shows a highly leaky feature that impairs its application as a dielectric material. However, the fast-temperature-rising phenomenon found in this work may open a new door for TINO to be applied as a potential electrothermal material with high efficiency, oxidation-proof, high temperature stability, and energy saving.

A series of rutile TiO2-supported Ni catalysts with varying Ni sizes were prepared and reduced at 650 °C to explore the effect of Ni size on the strong metal–support interactions (SMSI) and its consequences on the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of m-cresol at 350 °C and atmospheric pressure. When the Ni size increases from 4 to 29.1 nm, the SMSI becomes stronger, e.g., the thickness of the TiOxoverlayer and the coverage extent of TiOxon the Ni particle surface increase. Direct deoxygenation to toluene is the dominant pathway on Ni/TiO2catalysts with varying Ni loadings, with almost no CH4being formed. These results indicate that the TiOxoverlayer significantly alters the property of Ni. That is, the C-C hydrogenolysis activity on bare Ni is completely inhibited due to SMSI, while the deoxygenation activity is improved at the Ni-TiOxinterfacial perimeter sites. Meanwhile, the turnover frequency of HDO on small Ni particles of 4 nm is > 2 times higher than that on large Ni particles of 29.1 nm, indicating that the small Ni particle with moderate SMSI appears to be optimal for the direct deoxygenation of m-cresol to toluene. The results suggest HDO activity may be enhanced by tuning the metal particle size and SMSI degree.Keywords:Ni/TiO2;rutile;strong metal-support interactions;m-cresol;hydrodeoxygenation

Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 /TiO 2 composite, pure Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 and Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 /Li 2 TiO 3 composite are synthesized through a high temperature solid-state approach by adjusting the molar ratio of Li/Ti precursors. Pure Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 can be obtained when the molar ratio of Li/Ti precursor materials is 0.80, while low and over stoichiometric ratio of Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 would lead to the formation of the second phase of rutile TiO 2 and Li 2 TiO 3 , respectively. The electrochemical performance of the obtained materials as anode materials for Li-ion batteries is tested under potential range of 0.02–2.5 V in Li half-cell. The results show that all the samples exhibit two potential plateaus at ~1.5 V and ~0.75 V at various C-rate. Among the obtained samples, Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 /TiO 2 composite exhibits the best cycling stability and rate capability. The second phase TiO 2 facilitates the diffusion of Li + and significantly enhances the rate capability.

Bamboo is a renewable and mechanically robust bio-based material with potential for sand-barrier construction; however, its long-term outdoor use is limited by ultraviolet-induced photoaging, moisture uptake, wind-sand abrasion, and biological colonization. In this study, a fluorine-free EP/TiO2/ODTMS superhydrophobic coating was deposited on moso bamboo using a simple spraying process. Rutile TiO2was incorporated as a roughness-building and ultraviolet-shielding filler, waterborne epoxy resin served as a film-forming binder to improve particle anchoring and coating cohesion, and octadecyltrimethoxysilane was used to reduce the surface energy. The formulation containing 50–100 nm rutile TiO2and 2 wt.% epoxy resin provided the best overall balance between surface wettability and mechanical durability, with a water contact angle of 156.4° and a sliding angle of 6.9°. SEM observations revealed a hierarchical surface composed of TiO2particles and microscale agglomerates immobilized within the epoxy matrix. EDS and FTIR results supported the incorporation of TiO2- and ODTMS-derived components, while UV–Vis–NIR diffuse-reflectance measurements showed an improved optical response in the ultraviolet region. The coating retained superhydrophobicity after sandpaper abrasion, gravel impact, and tape-peeling tests. After 672 h of xenon-lamp aging, the coated bamboo maintained a water contact angle above 150°, exhibited a total color difference of approximately 7.65, and retained 91.1% of its initial flexural strength. In addition, qualitatively reduced visible mildew colonization was observed during 45 days of high-humidity exposure. These results demonstrate that the spray-deposited coating provides a fluorine-free and potentially scalable approach for improving the water repellency, mechanical durability, and accelerated-weathering resistance of bamboo sand-barrier materials.

Exploring high-performance photocatalysts still remains a big challenge due to poor charge separation efficiency. Herein, we prepare a novel anatase/rutile TiO 2 -Ag 3 PO 4 hollow photocatalyst (A/R-TiO 2 -Ag 3 PO 4 ) for addressing this challenge. Microstructural characterization and photoelectric measurements confirm that the synergy of hollow structure and dual-heterojunction can provide abundant active sites and boost efficient charge separation through dual-pathway charge transfer mechanism. The A/R-TiO 2 -Ag 3 PO 4 photocatalyst exhibits the highest photocurrent density (15.25 µA cm −2 ), which is 8.4 and 5.2 times than that of A-TiO 2 -Ag 3 PO 4 (1.82 µA cm −2 ) and P25-Ag 3 PO 4 (2.93 µA cm −2 ), respectively. Photo-degradation experiment shows that A/R-TiO 2 -Ag 3 PO 4 presents a high degradation percentage (98.7 %) of thiamethoxam (THX) within 30 min, which is 1.45 and 1.23 times than that of A-TiO 2 -Ag 3 PO 4 (68.1 %) and P25-Ag 3 PO 4 (80.7 %), respectively. Furthermore, the degradation percentage of THX by A/R-TiO 2 -Ag 3 PO 4 is as high as 96.4 % after seven successive cycles, indicating excellent cycling stability. Therefore, this work provides a new insight into exploring other high-performance photocatalysts by combining hollow structure and dual-heterojunction.

Antibiotic pollution has posed environmental risks, and the crucial point lies in the elimination efficiency of antibiotics from wastewater. Herein, a ternary-structured B-TiO 2 /Bi 2 S 3 /PCs (photonic crystals) film, in which B-TiO 2 was a blend of anatase and rutile crystalline phases, was fabricated to evaluate the efficiency of antibiotic photodegradation under visible light irradiation. The synthesized B-TiO 2 (80 %)/Bi 2 S 3 /PCs(458) film exhibited superior photocatalytic efficiency of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC), with a degradation rate 7.56 times greater than that of pristine B-TiO 2 . These findings are closely related to the excellent photoelectron separation of the heterojunction between B-TiO 2 and Bi 2 S 3 , as well as the bandgap reflection effect and light localization effect of the PCs . Notably, the B-TiO 2 (80 %)/Bi 2 S 3 /PCs(458) film also displayed favourable degradation performance for ofloxacin (OFLX) and ciprofloxacin (CIP), with degradation rates of 83.98 % and 72.79 %, respectively. Active species trapping experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements revealed superoxide radicals (•O 2 − ) and photogenerated holes (h + ) as the main active species. Furthermore, potential photodegradation pathways were proposed by analyzing the degradation intermediates of TC and OFLX via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC–MS). In a word, the B-TiO 2 (80 %)/Bi 2 S 3 /PCs(458) film exhibited high efficiency in the treatment of antibiotic pollutants, thereby offering promising prospects for practical application.

Iridium (Ir) - based electrocatalysts, as the benchmark electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), still suffer from sluggish kinetics and substantial overpotential. Here we show the fabrication of heterophase IrO 2 catalysts with homogeneous distribution of rutile phase on 1 T phase (referred to as m-IrO 2 ) by a simple air-annealing method. In acidic condition, the m-IrO 2 catalyst exhibits high activity with a low overpotential of 170 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and good stability with no sign of deactivation over a prolonged 508-h continuous operation, making it one of the best-performing acid-stable OER catalysts. In this system, H 2 O first forms OH* and O* on the rutile phase, and then the interfacial oxygen migrates from the rutile phase to the 1 T phase. Subsequently, O* drives the OER reaction on the 1 T phase, resulting in the generation of OOH* and eventually the formation of O 2 . The interfacial oxygen migration within the heterophase structure of m-IrO 2 boosts the acidic water oxidation activity significantly. These findings provide a promising design strategy for creating high-activity catalysts suitable for acidic conditions through the manipulation of interfaces.

In this paper, an eco-friendly surfactant sodium lauroamphoacetate(LMAC) was firstly studied as a collector for rutile flotation. The role and adsorption mechanism of LMAC on rutile surface was fully investigated by micro-flotation tests, zeta potential tests, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The result of micro-flotation tests showed that the flotation recovery of rutile with 120 mg/L LMAC treatment is stable at around 92 % in pH=7. Under the condition of the same collector amount, LMAC has a stronger collecting capacity for rutile than styrene phosphonic acid (SPA), benzohydroxamic acid (BHA) and sodium oleate (NaOL) in acidic and neutral pulp condition. And the effective flotation separation of rutile and quartz was accomplished at pH=7 by employing inhibitor modified water glass and the collector LMAC. Zeta potential tests and FTIR analysis demonstrated that LMAC could chemically adsorb onto the positively charged atoms of rutile surface. XPS analysis further confirmed that Ti atoms on the surface of rutile reacted with O atoms in LMAC during the adsorption process. DFT calculation results directly show that the adsorption process of LMAC on rutile (1 1 0) surface is spontaneous, and forms two Ti − O bonds and a H−O bond. Mulliken population analysis and differential charge density analysis showed that during the adsorption process, electrons were transferred between the O atoms of LMAC and the Ti atoms on the rutile surface, forming the new Ti − O bonds.

The use of anatase–rutile mixed-phase TiO2 (P25) as a support improves both CO conversion and selectivity toward low-carbon alcohols (C1–C5 mixed alcohols) during syngas conversion over Cu–Fe bimetallic catalysts. A 61.4% selectivity to low-carbon alcohols was obtained at a CO conversion of 35.0%. The low-carbon alcohol yield (21.5%) over CuFe/P25 is 31 and 3 times higher than the yields over Cu–Fe catalysts supported on pure anatase TiO2 and pure rutile TiO2, respectively. The anatase–rutile synergy in P25 contributes to the high dispersion of Cu–Fe species and facilitates electron transfer from the P25 support to both Cu0 and FeCx active sites via metal–support interaction. CuFe/P25 enhances both the capabilities of CO adsorption, dissociation, and non-dissociative insertion and the formation of CHx, CHO, and HCOO intermediates. These findings suggest that tuning the crystalline phase of the support constitutes a rational strategy for enhancing the catalytic activity of the metal sites.

Rutile TiO2 nanorod arrays vertically aligned on conductive fluorine-doped tin oxide glass are optimized for photocatalysis in terms of the density and diameter of nanorods by tuning the concentration of Ti precursor and reaction time during the hydrothermal process. Quantum dots (QDs) of V2VI3( V = Bi; VI = Se, Te) topographic insulators are then employed as sensitizers to enhance the visible-light response of TiO2. Electrochemical measurements show that the decoration of Bi2Se3 or Bi2Te3 significantly increases the photocurrent due to the enhanced light harvesting properties and the charge carrier separation capability mediated by the topographic isolation effect of V2VI3 QDs. Photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) activity evaluation is conducted towards the decoloration of azo dyes, including methyl orange and methylene blue under the sunlight irradiation. The elaborated Bi2Se3/TiO2 nanorod array exhibits the superior PEC performances, presenting shows great potentials in environmental remediation.

Flexible electrodes with high charge storage capacity, low solid-state diffusion resistance toward charges, and excellent mechanical properties are needed for fabricating flexible energy storage devices. In this paper, an approach is described to synthesize a composite material with hollow rutile TiO 2 cuboid arrays supported on carbon fiber cloth (H-TiO 2 @CFC). This composite material is used as a self-supporting and binder-free anode for sodium-ion storage, delivering reversible charge capacities of 287.3 at 0.1 C and 103.3 mAh g −1 at 50 C, respectively. The observed excellent electrochemical performance of the H-TiO 2 @CFC electrode is mainly attributed to its unique architecture, which facilitates ion transport, improves electron conductivity, and enables active surface reactivity toward sodium ions. In situ X-ray diffraction characterization results reveal a nearly zero strain structure of the hollow rutile TiO 2 in H-TiO 2 @CFC against electrochemical cycling. An analysis of the charge storage mechanism reveals a significant pseudocapacitance contribution to the charge storage, accounting for the observed high-rate performance of the electrode. A flexible full cell fabricated with the H-TiO 2 @CFC as the anode and Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 as the cathode exhibits both excellent electrochemical properties and flexibility against mechanical deformation, demonstrating the great promise of the H-TiO 2 @CFC composite material for flexible battery cells.
