With the regular structures composed of metal clusters and organic ligands, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are expected to be the competent stabilizing matrix for nanoparticles and the excellent precursor of metal oxide with carbon species by means of high temperature pyrolysis , resulting to porous architectures with unexpected adsorptive or catalytic properties. Herein, we design and propose a facile route for preparing porous Carbon doped ZnO/TiO 2 @ZIF-8 (C–ZnO/TiO 2 @ZIF-8) multi-component nano-platform using TiO 2 coated ZIF-8 as precursor and template followed by thermal calcination . The resulted C–ZnO/TiO 2 @ZIF-8 nanocrystal simultaneously possesses original ZIF-8 morphology and porous structure with connected ZnO nanoparticles. As a result, C–ZnO/TiO 2 @ZIF-8 shows obviously better adsorption affinity towards methylene blue (MB). Moreover, benefit from the TiO 2 coating outside ZIF-8 matrix, escape of carbon species which originate from pyrolysis of organic ligands is efficiently inhibited, with the resulted materials doped with abundant carbon. Therefore, charge transfer and isolation of the resulted catalyst are promoted accordingly, with catalytic activity of the prepared C–ZnO/TiO 2 @ZIF-8 multi-component photocatalyst significantly increased by 1.8-fold and 3.0-fold compared to ZnO@ZIF-8 photocatalyst under irradiation of UV and visible light, respectively.

Highly efficient H 2 and S production from copious waste H 2 S is beneficial from both environmental and energy. Whereas, the highly effective direct decomposition of H 2 S reaction faces a gigantic obstacle, that is, there is the severe thermal equilibrium limitation. Herein, a family of TiO 2 modified Mo x C as novel microwave catalysts have been developed. This work demonstrates that Mo 2 C, Mo 2 C-TiO 2 and MoC@TiO 2 microwave catalysts display excellent catalytic performance to recover both valuable H 2 and elemental S from the direct decomposition of H 2 S under microwave irradiation . The optimal H 2 S conversion of MoC@TiO 2 can be as high as 99.9% (almost complete conversion) at 700 °C, which greatly outpaces the corresponding H 2 S equilibrium conversion under microwave irradiation . This result of the chemical equilibrium limitation being broken shows an interesting phenomenon, namely a significant microwave selective catalytic effect by microwave catalysis in H 2 S decomposition reaction . In addition, the apparent activation energy of the Mo 2 C, Mo 2 C-TiO 2 and MoC@TiO 2 microwave catalysts reduced to 18.2 kJ/mol, 16.8 kJ/mol and 15.6 kJ/mol under microwave irradiation. The work supplies a strategy for highly effective valuable H 2 and S production from H 2 S decomposition reaction , and paves a path to high-value utilization of hazardous waste H 2 S resources with energy-saving heating method.

In this study, we successfully synthesized TiO 2 micro-flowers (T-MFs) and investigated their performance in humidity sensing. The T-MFs possess a unique three-dimensional petal morphology with a large surface area and high crystallinity. The T-MFs-based humidity sensors demonstrated the highest sensor response of S R ∼ 1 × 10 7 , significantly outperforming TiO 2 nano-discs (T-NDs) with S R ∼ 1 × 10 5 , and TiO 2 nano-particles (T-NPs) with S R ∼ 9 × 10 4 . These findings highlight the superior sensitivity of T-MFs-based sensors in terms of response, regardless of the humidity level. The sensors exhibit remarkable linearity (R 2 > 0.98), minimal hysteresis (0.4 %), and exceptional repeatability and reproducibility (verified through six cycles at 44 % RH and 90 % RH). Additionally, T-MFs showed long-term stability in aging tests conducted over 100 days at humidity levels ranging from 9 to 90 RH%. These results indicate that T-MFs have potential advantages in high-performance humidity sensing applications and provide new opportunities for the development of breath analyzers.

BiVO 4 is a promising semiconductor for photoelectrochemical water oxidation, yet its performance is still limited by rapid charge recombination and sluggish reaction kinetics. To address these challenges, a WO 3 /BiVO 4 /Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 photoanode is developed via the integration of the WO 3 /BiVO 4 heterojunction with the Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 Schottky junction. This architecture establishes an internal electric field and cascaded charge transport pathway, collectively suppressing charge recombination. The carrier lifetime is extended to 3.112 ns compared to the WO 3 /BiVO 4 heterojunction (2.111 ns). The hydrophilic nature of Ti 3 C 2 facilitates charge transfer at the photoanode/electrolyte interface. Moreover, the optical absorption edge of the developed photoanode is extended, improving solar energy utilization. Because of these merits, the WO 3 /BiVO 4 /Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 photoanode yields a photocurrent density of 3.70 mA cm −2 at 1.23 V vs. RHE, presenting an increase by 126 % over the WO 3 /BiVO 4 photoanode. This work demonstrates a promising interfacial engineering approach to develop high-performance photoanodes.

Membrane-contamination during electrodialysis (ED) process is still a non-negligible challenge, while irreversible consumption and unsustainability have become the main bottlenecks limiting the improvement of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) anti-contamination activity. Here, we introduce a novel approach to design AEMs by chemically assembling 4-pyndinepropanol with bromomethylated poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (BPPO) in an electrochromic-inspired process. Subsequently, the co-mingled TiO 2 @Ag nanosheet with the casting-solution were sprayed onto the surface of the substrate membrane to create a micrometer-thick interfacial layer. The addition of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) enhances the active sites of TiO 2 , resulting in stronger local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effects and reducing its energy band gap limitation (From 3.11 to 2.63 eV). Post-electrodialysis electrochromic AEMs incorporating TiO 2 @Ag exhibit synergistic enhancement of sunlight absorption, effectively suppressing photogenerated carrier binding and promoting migration. These resultant-membranes demonstrate significantly improved bacterial inhibition properties (42.0-fold increase for E. coli ) and degradation activity (7.59-fold increase for rhodamine B) compared to pure TiO 2 membranes. Importantly, they maintain photocatalytic activity without compromising salt-separation performance or stability, as the spraying process utilizes the same substrate materials. This approach to rational design and regulation of anti-contamination AEMs offers new insights into the collaborative synergy of color-changing and photocatalytic materials.

In recent years, Ti 3+ self-doped TiO 2 (B-TiO 2 ) exhibits great potential as a photocatalyst. In this work, Ti vapor-assisted annealing is first demonstrated for Ti 3+ doping and improving the visible absorption of TiO 2 . TEM results exhibit the formation of disordered layer, indicating the successful fabricating of B-TiO 2 . The absorption increase in TiO 2 caused by Ti vapor annealing reaches nearly 50% in the visible wavelength range. Benefiting from the absorption increase, the photocatalytic performance of TiO 2 after Ti vapor annealing increases by 60–70%. Surface modification of Ag onto B-TiO 2 is also carried out to further improve its optical property. Ag-modified Ti 3+ self-doped TiO 2 (B-TiO 2 @Ag) exhibits great visible photodegradation behavior to RhB. The RhB degradation rate reaches 97.76% after 60 min of visible light irradiation. Electrochemical performance tests demonstrate that as-prepared TiO 2 @Ag has lower resistance than W-TiO 2 . The results indicate that B-TiO 2 @Ag has great potential in solar photocatalytic degradation of pollutant.

Ag-based catalysts show high activity in NH 3 -selective catalytic oxidation (NH 3 -SCO). The anchoring states of Ag species determines its valence and dispersion, thereby influencing the performance of Ag-based catalysts. Herein, we elucidated that the content and anchoring strength of the hydroxyl (OH) groups on support together affect the anchoring states of Ag. TiO 2 has few OH groups but high anchoring strength, the anchored Ag is in a highly dispersed oxidized state, while the unanchored Ag is aggregated in a metallic state (Ag 0 ), so it presents an unevenly sized dispersion and mainly in oxidized state. SiO 2 has abundant OH groups but weak anchoring, and can excessively agglomerate into large Ag 0 nanoparticles (Ag 0 NPs). Therefore, the introduction of SiO 2 can regulate the anchoring states of Ag on the TiO 2 support, making Ag presents highly dispersed Ag 0 NPs, thus following a reaction mechanism with lower energy barriers and significantly improving the NH 3 -SCO performance.

Nano-titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) is one of the most universal engineered nano-materials while perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) is a typical new persistent organic pollutant. They are widely used and present in aquatic environment. In this study, a novel semi-static multilayer microcosm was setup to investigate the impacts of nano-TiO2 on PFOS bioaccumulation in fish species [Danio rerio (D. rerio), Ctenopharyngodon idella (C. idella), Hypostomus plecostomus (H. plecostomus)] living in different vertical layers. As a result of aggregation and deposition, the concentration of TiO2 increased from upper to bottom layers in the water column. Concomitantly, due to adsorption of PFOS on the nano-TiO2 particles, PFOS also displayed an increasing trend from upper to bottom layer. Owing to ingestion of the TiO2–PFOS complexes, more PFOS was taken-up by fish. With the aid of intestinal fluid, PFOS was readily released from TiO2 particles and absorbed by fish. As a result, accumulation of PFOS in whole fish was facilitated and the bioaccumulation factors of PFOS in D. rerio, C. idella and H. plecostomus were 3.01, 2.42 and 1.11 times of that in the groups without TiO2. However, TiO2 aggregates were too large to penetrate biological membranes to participate body circulation, and no significant accumulation of TiO2 was observed in fish muscle. The results suggested that the ecological risk of PFOS could be enhanced due to the presence of nano-TiO2 in water.

CaO-CaCO 3 thermochemical energy storage is a promising technology for solar energy utilization and storage. Alkaline papermaking waste (APW) from paper mills, which is mainly composed of CaCO 3 . Herein, TiO 2 /MnFe 2 O 4 co-modified APW was synthesized. The energy storage capacity of TiO 2 /MnFe 2 O 4 co-modified APW was studied during CaO-CaCO 3 thermochemical energy storage cycles in a duel fixed bed reactor. TiO 2 /MnFe 2 O 4 co-modified APW mainly consists of CaO, MgO, CaTiO 3 , CaMnO 3 , and Ca 2 Fe 2 O 5 . The introductions of TiO 2 and MnFe 2 O 4 significantly improve the cyclic stability and optical absorption property of APW in 30 cycles. The co-modified APW (the mass ratio for CaO:TiO 2 :MnFe 2 O 4 = 100:5:5) possesses high sintering resistance, energy storage, and optical absorption capacities in 30 cycles. The energy storage conversion and capacity of the co-modified APW are 0.72 and 2288.57 kJ/kg after 30 cycles, respectively. The optical absorptance of the co-modified APW reaches 49%, which is 9.25 times as high as that of APW. CaTiO 3 and CaMnO 3 effectively mitigate the sintering of CaO grains. CaMnO 3 and Ca 2 Fe 2 O 5 significantly increase the optical absorptance of APW. The co-modified APW possesses stronger basicity and more oxygen vacancies, which is favourable for the carbonation reaction. Thus, TiO 2 /MnFe 2 O 4 co-modified APW is a good energy storage material.

In this paper, we report a one-step and additive-free route for synthesizing hierarchical rutile TiO 2 with mesocrystalline structure. The rutile TiO 2 architecture constructed by oriented tiny nanorod subunits (around 5 nm in diameter) have nano/submicro hierarchical structures, nanoporous nature, a relatively large surface area and high tapped density. When the hierarchical rutile TiO 2 was studied as anode material for Li-ion batteries (LIBs), they exhibited a high reversible capacity of more than 250 mAh g −1 within a voltage window of 1–3 V, superior rate capability and very good cycling stability with 220 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g −1 . It’s notable that the hierarchical rutile TiO 2 exhibited superior Li-ion storage properties under deep cycling conditions (0.01-3.0 V), a stable capacity of 346 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g −1 could be remained. The hierarchical TiO 2 also displayed a large reversible capacity of more than 255 mAh g −1 (average value) at 0.05 A g −1 and good cycling performance for Na-ion insertion. These results, in combination with high volumetric storage capacity, render hierarchical rutile TiO 2 a promising anode material for rechargeable batteries.

A series of Pd/TiO 2 catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method followed by atmospheric discharge plasma treatment. In order to study the influences of plasma treatment on the catalysts, the samples were characterized by XRD, TPR, TPD, XPS and TEM technologies. It was found that the plasma treatment catalysts possessed a higher acetylene conversion and ethylene selectivity compared to those of the untreated sample. The enhanced performance of the plasma treated catalyst was mainly dependent on two main effects. On one hand, the treated catalyst possessed a higher metal Pd dispersion, which resulted in the easier activation of acetylene. On the other hand, the surface electron density of metal Pd on the treated catalyst got enhanced compared to that of untreated sample, because of the stronger interaction between TiO 2 support and metallic Pd, helping the more desorption of ethylene species from the surface of catalyst.

Ag 2 S quantum dots were deposited on the surface of TiO 2 nanorod arrays by a two-step photodeposition. The prepared TiO 2 nanorod arrays as well as the Ag 2 S deposited electrodes were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscope, suggesting a large coverage of Ag 2 S quantum dots on the ordered TiO 2 nanorod arrays. UV–vis absorption spectra of Ag 2 S deposited electrodes show a broad absorption range of the visible light. The quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) based on these electrodes were fabricated, and the photoelectrochemical properties were examined. A high photocurrent density of 10.25 mA/cm 2 with a conversion efficiency of 0.98% at AM 1.5 solar light of 100 mW/cm 2 was obtained with an optimal photodeposition time. The performance of the QDSSC at different incident light intensities was also investigated. The results display a better performance at a lower incident light level with a conversion efficiency of 1.25% at 47 mW/cm 2 .
