Overuse of antibiotics threatens water security, and photocatalysis is a potential technology to alleviate this problem. In this study, the TiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 /rGO nanocomposite materials were prepared by a solvothermal process, and a series of characterizations were carefully examined. Then, the removal of norfloxacin from water under visible light irradiation was investigated to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 /rGO. The TiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 /rGO composite catalyst has higher photocatalytic activity than TiO 2 and TiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 under visible light, and the optimal addition content for rGO is 0.5%. After 60 min of visible light irradiation, the degradation rate of norfloxacin on TiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 /rGO-0.5% reached 87.79%. Furthermore, the UV–Vis of the complex suggests that the ligand-metal electron transfer mechanism enhances the catalytic activity of TiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 /rGO. Finally, the mechanism of photocatalytic degradation of norfloxacin by TiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 /rGO composite catalyst was proposed.

Hybrid-phase-MoS 2 (1T@2H-MoS 2 ) nanosheet-coated black TiO 2 spheres (1T@2H-MoS 2 /B-TiO 2 ) were prepared using a hydrothermal method and a chemical reduction method under an argon atmosphere. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, Raman spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated the generation of the 1T@2H-MoS 2 and black TiO 2 . The efficiency of the 1T@2H-MoS 2 /B-TiO 2 core–shell structure degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) reached 98.0%. The high photocatalytic activity was due to the presence of 1T-MoS 2 , which accelerated the electron transfer to participate in the redox reaction. In addition, the presence of B-TiO 2 suppressed the undesirable electron–hole recombination. Finally, the synergistic effect between 1T@2H-MoS 2 and B-TiO 2 promoted the separation of the photoelectron–hole pairs. Moreover, scavenger studies found that the hydroxyl radical ( • OH) was the dominant reactive oxygen species in the degradation of RhB under visible light irradiation. The possible growth mechanism and photocatalytic mechanism are discussed in detail. The results of this study will contribute to the improvement in the visible light absorption and photocatalytic degradation of catalysts.

ZIF-67 derived cobalt-based catalysts have potential for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS). In this work, core–shell structured Co-Z@TiO2 catalysts with different graphitization degrees and carbon contents were handily prepared by adjusting the calcination process, using the ZIF-67 encapsulated by amorphous TiO2 as the precursor. By the protection effect of the residual carbon, the aggregation of cobalt species was suppressed. The dispersion and reducibility of the catalyst can be regulated by manipulating the type and amount of residual carbon. The Co-Z@TiO2 catalyst with proper carbon content exhibited high CO conversion (36.9%), C5+ selectivity (80.4%), and especially gasoline range hydrocarbons (49.3%). The catalyst also showed good stability during a 110 h reaction.

NiFe2O4and TiO2are widely studied for photoelectrochemical (PEC) applications due to their unique properties. Nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), such as MIL-100(Fe) (where MIL stands for Materials of Lavoisier Institute), are commonly incorporated to enhance PEC performance by offering a high surface area and facilitating efficient charge transport. Composite systems are commonly employed to overcome the limitations of individual PEC catalysts. In this study, a highly efficient NiFe2O4/NG@MIL-100(Fe)/TiO2photoanode was developed to enhance photoelectrochemical water-splitting performance. The composite was synthesized via a hydrothermal method with a two-step heating process. X-ray diffraction confirmed the expected crystal structures, with peak broadening in NiFe2O4indicating reduced crystallite size and increased lattice strain. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of the Ni 2p and Fe 2p regions validated the successful integration of NiFe2O4into the composite. Electrochemical analysis demonstrated excellent performance, with linear sweep voltammetry achieving a peak photocurrent density of 3.5 mA cm−2at 1.23 V (vs RHE). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed a reduced charge-transfer resistance of 50 Ω, indicating improved charge transport. Optical and electronic properties were evaluated using UV-Vis spectroscopy and Tauc plots, revealing a direct bandgap of 2.1 eV. The composite exhibited stable photocurrent under amperometric J-t testing for 2000 s, demonstrating its durability. These findings underscore the potential of NiFe2O4/NG@MIL-100(Fe)/TiO2as a promising material for renewable energy applications, particularly in photoelectrochemical water splitting.

Photocatalytic oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) represents a promising route for chemical and fuel synthesis, yet the development of photocatalysts with high activity and selectivity remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate a synergistic ensemble of Au nanoparticles and Li-doped TiO2 that significantly enhances photocatalytic OCM performance in a flow reactor. The optimized catalyst achieved a C2 hydrocarbon production rate of 4.1 mmol g–1 h–1 with selectivity up to 97% and maintained robust stability over 50 h. Comprehensive mechanistic studies, employing in situ transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS), in situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and operando diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) techniques, indicate that Li dopants facilitate the formation of bulk/surface defects by a unique bulk-to-surface-to-gas Li migration process. These induced defects serve a dual role: bulk defects act as effective hole traps, while surface defects provide active sites that enhance charge transfer and promote O2 adsorption/activation. Combined with Au acting as a methane activation center, this synergy promotes efficient C–H activation and C–C coupling, thus contributing to its superior catalytic performance. This work provides critical mechanistic insights into photocatalytic OCM and underscores the potential of surface and bulk engineering for efficient photocatalytic processes.

Based on a detailed study of the hydrolysis process of tetrabutyl orthotitanate (TBOT), TiO 2 nanoclusters were modified inside the pores of SiO 2 core-shell particles instead of the outside. The pore size distribution of SiO 2 core-shell spheres modified with TiO 2 (SiO 2 @ d SiO 2 @TiO 2 ) was analyzed by Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) method and density functional theory (DFT) method, respectively. The results of the DFT calculations demonstrate that the TiO 2 nanoclusters are always first formed in bulk solution and then enter the pores. By regulating the rate of hydrolysis of TBOT, almost all of the TiO 2 nanoclusters are modified into the pores and the structure of the original SiO 2 core-shell sphere is hardly affected. The morphology of the particles was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The crystal phase of TiO 2 was measured by XRD. SiO 2 @ d SiO 2 @TiO 2 spheres functionalized with C18 were packed into a stainless steel column. The chemical stability of SiO 2 @ d SiO 2 @TiO 2 spheres under alkaline was tested by flushing of a mobile phase at pH 13 for 7 days. The efficiency of the column after the alkali solution treatment still reaches 98,430 plates m −1 , which is only about 1.6% lower than that before the alkali solution treatment. A series of basic and acidic analytes were also separated on the column.
TiO 2 nanocrystals were coated into the pore of core-shell silica spheres. The prepared particles were packed into the column and separation performance up to 98,430 plates per meter was achieved.

Rational development of innovative photocatalysts with efficient interfacial separation and stronger oxidation–reduction ability of photo-generated carrier is critical for environmental antibiotic purification. In this work, a novel dual Z-scheme heterojunction nanocomposites were fabricated based on the in-situ growth of CuBi 2 O 4 nanoparticles onto the surface of TiO 2 nanorods and Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 nanosheets via a facile one-step hydrothermal method. Ternary TiO 2 /CuBi 2 O 4 /Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 (TCB) composites showed enhanced photocatalytic removal of tetracycline (TC), which is greater than pure Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 , CuBi 2 O 4 , TiO 2 and binary composites. The TCB-20 composite exhibited the best photo-degradation efficiency of TC (82% at 60 min) and maintained a higher stability after four consecutive cycles. Additionally, a dual Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism with highly efficient and fast electron transfer was proposed, which prominently improves the photocatalytic performance. This work reports an integrated structure of a dual Z-scheme heterojunction that plays an important role in the degradation of tetracycline. Graphical abstract

NaMgH3 has been considered to be a potential candidate for solid-state hydrogen storage due to its considerable hydrogen gravimetric (6.0 wt %) and volumetric (88.0 g/L) densities. Meanwhile, NaMgH3 possesses an outstanding theoretical thermal storage density of 2881 kJ/kg, which makes it one of the most promising thermal energy storage materials. However, the sluggish dehydrogenation kinetics of NaMgH3 embarrasses further practical application. Doping a nanosize Ti-based catalyst is treated to be one of the most effective methods to settle the poor dehydriding kinetics. In this work, different kinds of TiO2 catalysts, the 5 wt % TiO2 microparticle (MP) (100 nm), TiO2 nanoparticle (NP) (5–10 nm), and TiO2 nanotube (NT) (5–10 nm), were doped into NaMgH3 in the process of ball milling and heat treatment, which in situ formed Na0.46TiO2 significantly promoting the full hydrogen desorption kinetics of NaMgH3. Among all samples, the TiO2 NT-doped sample shows the best performance of which the onset decomposition temperature is reduced to 300 °C, and the first- and second-step decomposition peak temperatures are decreased to 346.3 and 355.8 °C, respectively. The TiO2 NT-doped sample desorbs approximately 3.4 wt % H2 at 350 °C within 10 min, while the pure NaMgH3 sample releases only 0.2 wt % H2 in 10 min. The significant improvement in both two decomposition reactions kinetics of NaMgH3 can be attributed to the tubular morphology of the TiO2 NT and the in situ formation of multivalence Ti species (Na0.46TiO2). These two reasons can change the kinetic models of NaMgH3 from A2 to R2 and further dramatically decrease the activation energies of first- and second-step decomposition reactions of NaMgH3 to 91.7 and 142.1 kJ/mol, respectively. In particular, the in situ formed Na0.46TiO2 can benefit the e– transfers among Na+, Mg2+, and H–, tremendously enhancing dehydrogenation properties.

In an attempt to realize the efficient treatment of NOx, a mixed catalyst of Ti3+ self-doped TiO2−x and γ-Al2O3 was constructed by reducing commercial TiO2. The degradation effect on NOx was evaluated by introducing the mixed catalyst into a coaxial dual-dielectric barrier reactor. It was found that the synthesized TiO2−x could achieve considerable degradation effects (84.84%, SIE = 401.27 J L−1) in a plasma catalytic system under oxygen-rich conditions, which were better than those of TiO2 (73.99%) or a single plasma degradation process (26.00%). The presence of Ti3+ and oxygen vacancies in TiO2−x resulted in a relatively narrow band gap, which contributed to catalyzing deeply the oxidation of NOx to NO2− and NO3− during the plasma-induced “pseudo-photocatalysis” process. Meanwhile, the TiO2−x showed an improved discharge current and promoted discharge efficiency, explaining its significant activation effect in the reaction. Reduced TiO2−x could achieve an impressive degradation effect in a long-time plasma-catalysis process, and still maintained its intrinsic crystal structure and morphology. This work provides a facile synthesis procedure for preparing Ti3+ self-doped TiO2−x with practical and scalable production potential; moreover, the novel combination with plasma also provides new insights into the low-temperature degradation of NOx.

Excellent photocatalytic activity was achieved on textiles via polydopamine-assisted deposition of Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8)/TiO 2 composite nanoparticles. Cotton fabrics as the substrate were templated with polydopamine followed by in-situ deposition of ZIF-8/TiO 2 photocatalysts. The heterogeneous nucleation growth of ZIF-8 was effectively improved by the chelation effects between polydopamine and Zn 2+ . SEM, FTIR, XPS, XRD, and TG analysis were employed to study the morphology, chemical constituent, micro-structure and thermal stability of ZIF-8/TiO 2 deposited fabrics. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra have indicated that the composite structure is beneficial in improving the charge transfer ability and decreasing the re-union rate of photogenerated electron pair holes. The mechanism was proposed to reveal both the in-situ deposition of nanocomposites on fiber surface and photocatalytic activity. The ZIF-8/TiO 2 deposited cotton fabrics exhibit good photocatalytic activity and recyclability leading to potential industrial wastewater treatment applications.

Algae as an abundant natural biomass, more attention has been paid to explore its potential application in environmental pollutants treatment. This work prepared the algae-TiO 2 /Ag bionano hybrid material by loading algae cells on the ultrafine TiO 2 /Ag chitosan hybrid nanofiber mat. For the first time, the synergistic photocatalytic effect of fresh algae and TiO 2 /Ag nanomaterial was investigated by removal of Cr(VI). The addition of algae significantly improved the photo-removal of Cr(VI) in the system with TiO 2 /Ag hybrid nanomaterial under visible light irradiation. Meanwhile, the photocatalytic mechanism was studied. The photogenerated reactive oxygen species were quantified and the addition of algae apparently decreased the yields of OH to 31.0 μM, while improved the yields of 1 O 2 and O 2 − in the reaction system with TiO 2 /Ag hybrid nanofiber mats. The change of superoxide dismutase activity and malondialdehyde content in algae indicated that TiO 2 /Ag could impose oxidative stress and cause lipid peroxidation in algae cells. During the course of irradiation, algae released substances could act as scavenger for holes, thus inhibited the recombination of hole/electron and enhanced the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) by electrons on TiO 2 surface. Algae was simultaneously photodegraded in the system and the resulting O 2 − , organic free radicals could promote the reduction of Cr(VI). This functional hybrid nanofiber mat was easily recovered and maintained a great photocatalytic activity on the five successive cycles. This algae-photocatalyst hybrid material has promising applications potential in heavy metal removal and organic pollutants treatment.

Graphical Nanocatalysis : Highly uniformly dispersed AgPd alloy nanoparticles were anchored on a porous TiO 2 carrier, obtained by calcining precursor and template MIL-125(Ti), and used for FA dehydrogenation, achieving excellent catalytic activity. At 60 °C, the total TOF value of Ag 2 Pd 8 /TiO 2 -M-450-catalyzed FA dehydrogenation was 2579 h −1 . TiO 2 with a disc-like morphology was prepared by direct pyrolysis of a titanium metal–organic framework [MIL-125(Ti)] in air. Highly dispersed bimetallic AgPd nanoparticles were then anchored on TiO 2 and their catalytic performance in the dehydrogenation of formic acid was systematically investigated. The Ag/Pd ratio had a significant effect on the catalyst activity, with Ag 2 Pd 8 /TiO 2 exhibiting the highest total turnover frequency value of 2579 h −1 at 60 °C under an ambient atmosphere. This excellent performance was attributed to the low-crystallinity anatase phase structure and large specific surface area of the TiO 2 carrier, the alloying effect of the AgPd nanoparticles, and abundant electron transfer between the carrier and metal alloy nanoparticles.
