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.

Achieving effective load transfer at the interface between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and aluminum (Al) is a crucial issue for fabricating high-performance CNTs reinforced Al matrix (CNT/Al) composites. In this work, CNT/Al composites with different Ti additions and the compared materials were prepared by powder metallurgy . Micro-sized Ti particles in which CNTs are well-dispersed firstly circumvent the difficulty of CNT dispersion, and subsequently act as nucleation site for sandwiched TiAl 3 layers that lock the dispersed CNTs in place and improve the CNT-Al interface bonding. Additionally, Ti addition not only allows modification of the dispersed CNTs but also enhances the strength of the composites by enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the CNTs through in situ formation of nano-sized titanium carbide (TiC). This work provides a new approach to improve the load transfer efficiency of CNTs by strengthening the interface bonding for fabricating high strength CNT/Al composites.

Simulated radioactive soil waste has been immobilized rapidly by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) using CuO as the oxidant. CeO 2 was incorporated into the soil waste as the surrogate of radioactive actinide nuclides. The phase composition, microstructure, elemental distribution, density and chemical durability of obtained waste forms have been characterized. These results show that the radioactive soil waste forms were successfully prepared with zirconolite (2M-CaZrTi 2 O 7 ), soil (SiO 2 ) and Cu as the main phases. Simulated nuclide Ce was successfully immobilized in the solidified zirconolite-rich ceramic body. Moreover, the radioactive soil waste solidified body exhibits excellent chemical durability. The normalized leaching rates (42 d) of Si and Ca are in low values of 4.1 × 10 −3 and 2.5 × 10 −3 g m −2 d −1 , while that of Ce is kept as 10 −4 − 10 −6 g m −2 d −1 within 42 days. This result indicates a potential application of SHS for the safety disposal of radioactive contaminated soil waste.

Herein, we synthesize successfully ultrafine TiN nanoparticles (<3 nm in size) embedded in N-doped carbon nanorods (nano-TiN@N–C) by a facile one-step calcination process. The prepared nano-TiN@N–C exhibits superior catalytic activity for hydrogen storage in NaAlH4. Adding 7 wt % nano-TiN@N–C induces more than 100 °C reduction in the onset dehydrogenation temperature of NaAlH4. Approximately 4.9 wt % H2 is rapidly released from the 7 wt % nano-TiN@N–C-containing NaAlH4 at 140 °C within 60 min, and the dehydrogenation product is completely hydrogenated at 100 °C within 15 min under 100 bar of hydrogen, exhibiting significantly improved desorption/absorption kinetics. No capacity loss is observed for the nano-TiN@N–C-containing sample within 25 de-/hydrogenation cycles because nano-TiN functions as an active catalyst instead of a precursor. A severe structural distortion with extended bond lengths and reduced bond strengths for Al–H bonding when the [AlH4]− group adsorbs on the TiN cluster is demonstrated for the first time by density functional theory calculations, which well-explains the reduced de-/hydrogenation temperatures of the nano-TiN@N–C-containing NaAlH4. These findings provide new insights into designing and synthesizing high-performance catalysts for hydrogen storage in complex hydrides.

In this paper, high density nanocrystalline W with uniform dispersion of nanosized oxide particles was fabricated via a dissolution-precipitation process by well controlled high-energy ball milling of the raw powder materials of Y 2 O 3 , Ti and W and the subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS). XRD and TEM analysis revealed that the Y 2 O 3 and Ti were dissolved in W matrix during the high-energy ball milling and the Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 particles were precipitated in the SPS process, resulting in the refinement in both W grains and oxide particles. The average grain size of W is 67 nm. The average size of particles in grain interior and at grain boundaries is 8.5 nm and 16.4 nm, respectively. The Vickers microhardness of such a nanostructured W alloy is as high as 1441 Hv, which is 2–3 times that of the ever reported W alloys. Such a dissolution-precipitation process offers a general pathway for manufacturing nanocrystalline refractory metals with dispersion of nanoscale oxides in a controllable manner.

Black titanium oxide has attracted tremendous interest in tumor phototherapy via converting light energy to heat and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Nevertheless, current synthesis methods suffer from inert gas shielding, high costs, complicated procedures, and expensive facilities, which are fairly impractical for treatment application. Herein, we propose a one-step strategy for fast facile synthesis of black TiO nanoparticles via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis approach with Ti power, hydrochloric acid, and hydrofluoric acid without the requirement of an reducing agent and high-temperature calcination. The prepared black TiO nanoparticles with an average size of 52 nm exhibit strong absorbance from ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared light region, favoring a single agent and single light-induced synergistic phototherapy of tumors. The black TiO nanoparticles shows an excellent performance in phototherapy with a photothermal conversion efficiency up to 50% and a prominent ROS generation under 808 nm laser irradiation. The toxicity and therapeutic effect in vitro and in vivo are investigated, and the results elucidate that black TiO nanoparticles possess good biocompatibility and remarkable synergistic tumor therapeutic efficacy. The proposed microwave-assisted method opens up a novel way for the synthesis of titanium-based material in a simple and fast manner, promoting their applications in the biomedical field.

This paper reports the fabrication of gold-patterned microarray chips for fast and ultrasensitive surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of trace samples. By micro-nano machining based on electron-beam lithography, magnetron sputtering, and chemical modification, gold-patterned microarray chips with hydrophilic and hydrophobic periodic structures are fabricated, and a polyethylene glycol (PEG) layer is coated on the surface of the gold well, making the chips long-term stable. The hydrophilic surface of each gold well is surrounded by a hydrophobic layer, which makes the ultratrace sample amount for SERS measurement only 0.3 μl. In the detection of malachite green (MG), 4-mercaptopyridine (4-MPY), rhodamine 6G (R6G), and melamine, great enhanced SERS signals with the detection limit reaching nM level can be achieved due to the enrichment effect of the periodic structures and the hot-spots generated between the sandwich structure built on the gold wells. Such gold-patterned microarray chip is promising in fast and ultrasensitive SERS detection of various chemical and biological species with trace amount.

Herein, we report a ratiometric photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor coupled with secondary antibodies–Co3O4 nanoparticle conjugates (Ab2–Co3O4 NPs) for signal amplification. The Ab1-g-C3N4@TiO2 NTs and BSA-g-C3N4@TiO2 NTs act as the sensing and reference photoelectrodes, where Ab1, BSA and TiO2 NTs are the capture antibodies, bovine serum albumin and TiO2 nanotube arrays, respectively. In the presence of target Ag, the sensing PEC photocurrent decreases due to the steric hindrance of Ab1 molecules, which increases the inner resistance of the photoelectrode. The signal-off response is enhanced further using Ab2–Co3O4 NP conjugates due to their steric hindrance effect and the consumption of electron donors by the Co3O4 NPs. Furthermore, the performance of the ratiometric PEC platform is tested using alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) as a model antigen. Under the optimal conditions, the concentration of AFP is detected in the range of 0.4 pg mL−1 to 40 ng mL−1 with a detection limit of 0.2 pg mL−1. This ratiometric strategy is beneficial to improve the reliability and anti-interference ability of PEC immunosensors.

Tungsten-potassium-titanium (W-K-Ti) alloys were fabricated by spark-plasma-sintering (SPS) and traditional rotary swaging (RS) techniques. Doping conditions and sintering methods were compared on the relative density, microstructure, hardness, recrystallization temperature, and the thermal shock resistance properties. Transient heat loads under 0.37 GW m −2 were applied on the W-K-Ti samples at room temperature for different cycles and pulsed durations. It was found that moderate Ti-doping (0.05 and 0.075 wt%) in W-K alloys can enhance the thermal shock resistance. Low-cycle thermal fatigue test suggested better thermal shock resistance in SPS-sintered W-K-Ti alloy (SPS-W-K-Ti) using TiH 2 dopant . The main reason was that the decomposition of TiH 2 significantly reduced the oxygen content of the ingots, which improved the ductility and thermal shock resistance of tungsten alloys . Further fracture analyses indicated that Ti-doping through TiH 2 formed intra- and inter- Ti-rich voids in TiH 2 -doped W-K alloy, while only intergranular Ti particles were found lying along grain boundaries in the Ti-doped one. The formation mechanism of the Ti-rich voids was investigated in detail. This work provides a potential route for obtaining plasma facing materials with high thermal shock resistance.

Solar steam generation is a renewable, environmentally friendly and low-cost technology for seawater desalination and wastewater remediation. Highly efficient solar evaporation from pure water has been achieved using advanced artificial architectures and hydrophilic light absorption materials, while the long-term steady work for high salinity water desalination becomes a non-negligible problem when it comes to practical use. In terms of this issue, a hydrophobic MXene membrane, which contains a salt-blocking delaminated Ti3C2 nanosheet layer with trimethoxy(1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyl)silane modification for sunlight harvesting and a piece of commercial filter membrane for water supply, is proposed in this work. With high light utilization, high stability, abundant evaporating channels, rapid water transport through the filter membrane and salt-blocking on the MXene membrane, the as-fabricated self-floatable device achieves a solar evaporation rate of 1.31 kg m−2 h−1 and a solar steam conversion efficiency of 71%, and stability under high salinity conditions under one sun over 200 hours, ensuring the highly efficient and long-term stable photothermal transduction for water purification from seawater and wastewater containing organic dyes and heavy metals. The hydrophobic surface enabled salt-blocking MXene membrane is proved to be an effective, efficient and stable photothermal material for solar desalination.

TiB2/Ti2AlN composites with different proportions were successfully fabricated through solid state reaction of Ti/Al/AlN/BN powders and subsequent hot pressing sintering. The reaction mechanism, microstructures and mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. The Vickers hardness of the samples ascended with increases in the TiB2 content and reached the highest value of 11.32 ± 0.12 GPa at a TiB2/Ti2AlN mole ratio of 1:2 (M2T1). TiB2/Ti2AlN composites with a mole ratio of 1:3 (M3T1) and 1:4 (M4T1) exhibited the maximum flexural strength of 497 ± 15 MPa and the highest fracture toughness of 9.52 ± 0.14 MPa·m1/2, respectively, which are 1.3 times and 1.8 times that of pure Ti2AlN (MT0) ceramic.

Electrocatalysts with the advantages of stability, high efficiency, and noble-metal-free features are in urgent need for water splitting. Herein, for the first time, based on the interface engineering, a novel BNNS@Ti3C2 intercalation electrocatalyst was prepared via a controllable synthesis strategy. The rich active sites of Ti3C2 were better protected as well as were able to serve as a bridge to connect the different layers of BNNS. Furthermore, combining the first-principles calculations, the nature of the interface proved the transformation from semiconducting properties to metallicity in this unique intercalation structure. The as-obtained composite possessed improved conductivity and abundant catalytic active sites, exhibiting a low onset potential of 23 mV and overpotential of 52 mV (vs. RHE) at 10 mA cm−2 with outstanding stability. BNNS@Ti3C2 was used as an electrocatalyst for the first time without noble-metal assistance. This study demonstrates that the layered materials can serve as a promising electrocatalyst by interfacing with the intercalation structure.
