Due to the introduction of Flo-TiO2, the three-layer composite film has strong lightscattering ability. Then, we have investigated and compared the photoelectric conversion properties of DSSCs based on three-layer structure （P25/TNT arrays/Flo-TiO2） photoelectrode and double-layer film （P25/TNT arrays） photoelectrode. It is found that DSSCs based on three-layer structure exhibit a high power conversion efficiency of 6.48% compared with the DSSCs composed of double-layer film （5.11%）.展开更多

Industrial effluents discharged into water bodies negatively impact both aquatic ecosystems and human health. To solve this problem, this study synthesized a composite of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and steel slag nanocomposites (SSNC) at a 1:2 mass ratio to create a robust photocatalyst for the treatment of synthetic wastewater. The efficacy of this catalyst in degrading various dye pollutants, including methylene blue (MB), was tested under simulated solar light conditions. Comprehensive analyses were conducted to assess the physical and chemical characteristics, crystalline structure, energy gap, and point of zero charge of the composite. The TiO2-SSNC composite catalyst exhibited excellent stability, with a point of zero charge at 8.342 and an energy gap of 2.4 eV. The degradation process conformed to pseudo-first-order kinetics. Optimization of operational parameters was achieved through the response surface methodology. Reusability tests demonstrated that the TiO2-SSNC composite catalyst effectively degraded up to 93.41% of MB in the suspended mode and 92.03% in the coated mode after five cycles. Additionally, the degradation efficiencies for various dyes were significant, highlighting the potential of the composite for broad applications in industrial wastewater treatment. This study also explored the degradation mechanisms and identified byproducts, establishing a pathway for contaminant breakdown. The cost-benefit analysis revealed a total cost of 0.842 8 USD per cubic meter for each treatment activity, indicating low operational and production costs. These findings underscore the promise of the TiO2-SSNC composite as a cost-effective and efficient alternative for wastewater purification.展开更多

Samples prepared at 80 ℃ for 4 h arc amorphous, and anatase-dominated crystal phase emerged in the sample prepared for as long as 10 h. Almost pure anatase phase were obtained in TiO2 nanostructures by annealing the samples at a temperature of 300 ℃. Photoeatalysis of the TiO2 nanostructures was characterized by the degradation of RhB dye molecules in an aqueous solution exposed to ultraviolet light. Results show a 7 cm^2 annealed TiO2 flower-like nanostrueture having the degradation rate of RhB as fast as 29.8 times that of the dye solution exposed to ultraviolet light alone.展开更多

The unique p-n type heterostructure not only promotes the separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carriers significantly, but also offers more active sites for photocatalytic hydrogen production. A photocatalytic mechanism is proposed based on the results of electrochemical measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.展开更多

Multilamellar vesicles(MTSVs) and unilamellar TiO_2/SiO_2 vesicles(UTSVs) were prepared using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and didodecyldimethylammonium bromide as structure-directing agents under different solvothermal conditions. FMTHSs and TNPs were obtained from the etching reactions of MTSVs and UTSVs, respectively, in an alkaline system. FMTHSs display flower-like, ordered stratified structures on each petal. The thickness of the ordered stratified structure is approximately3–6 nm, and the number of layers is approximately 2–4. The FMTHSs2 electrode exhibits the first discharge capacity of 212.4 m A h g^(-1) at 0.2 C, which is higher than that of TNPs electrode(167.6 mA h g^(-1)).The discharge specific capacity of FMTHSs2 electrode after 200 cycles at 1 C is 105.9 mA h g^(-1), which is higher than that of TNPs electrode(52.2 mA h g^(-1)) after the same number of cycles. The outstanding performance of FMTHSs2 electrode is attributed to the advantages of FMTHSs. In particular, their own stratified structure can provide additional active sites for reactions. The hierarchical structure can provide short diffusion length for Li^+, large electrolyte–electrode contact area, and superior accommodation of the strain of Li+intercalation/deintercalation.展开更多

The crystal structure, morphology and optical properties of the composite were characterized. X-ray diffraction diffusion （XRD） data and DSC-TG curves of the phosphor revealed that the SrAl2O4 crystallites have been formed after the precursor was calcined at 900 ℃ and to be single-phase SrA1204 at 1100 ℃. The SEM photographs indicated that the sample exhibited a universal flower-like morphology with crystallite size of about l-2μm. After being irradiated with ultraviolet （UV） light, the flower-like phosphor emitted long-lasting green phosphorescence with an excitation peak at 365 nm and emission peak at 500 nm which was ascribed to the characteristic 5d-4f transition of Eu^2＋. Both the PL spectra and the luminance decay curve revealed that this phosphor exhibited efficient luminescence and long lasting properties.展开更多
