In this unique nanostructure, the TiO2 nanosh- eets with stable structure serve as the backbones, and carbon coating and few-layer MoS2 tightly adhere onto the surface of the TiO2. It needs to be pointed out that the carbon coating improves the overall electronic conductivity and the few-layer MoS2 facilitates the diffusion of lithium ions and offers more active sites for lithium-ion storage. As a result, when evaluated as lithium-ion battery anodes, the MoS2-C@TiO2 nanocomposites exhibit markedly enhanced lithium storage capability compared with pure TiO2. A high specific capacity of 180 mA.h.g-1 has been achieved during the preliminary cycles, and the specific capacity can maintain 160 mA.h.g-1 at a high current density of 1C (1C=167 mA.g-1) even after 300 discharge/ charge cycles, indicating the great potential of the MoS2- C@TiO2 on energy storage.展开更多

Ru and RuO2 species were loaded by photo-deposition methods to prepare the photocatalysts. The structural features of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray di raction, transmission electron microscopy, inductively cou-pled plasma atomic emission spectrum, and H2 Temperature-programmed reduction. The photocatalytic property was studied by the O2 evolution from water oxidation, which was examined with respect to the in uences of Ru contents as well as the oxidation and reduction treatments, suggesting the charge separation effect of the Ru species co-catalysts on di erent facets of TiO2 nanosheets. In contrast to Ru/TiO2 and RuO2/TiO2 with the single deposited co-catalyst, the optimized catalyst 0.5%Ru-1.0%RuO2/TiO2 with dual co-catalysts achieved a much improved catalytic performance, in terms of the synergetic effect of dual co-catalysts and the enhanced charge separation effect.展开更多

The thickness of VSe_(2) nanosheets can be tuned from 12 to 5 layers by decreasing the precursor concentrations. The few-layer VSe_(2) nanosheets show the room-temperature ferromagnetism. The coercivity and magnetization reach 0.024 T and 0.036 mA·m^(2)·g^(-1) at room temperature. The chargedensity wave behavior is also confirmed in VSe_(2) by the hysteresis loops and zero-field-cooling curve. V_(1-x)Fe_(x)Se_(2) nanosheets can be obtained by doping Fe(acac)3 in the reaction process. The room-temperature coercivity and magnetization of V_(0.8)Fe_(0.2)Se_(2) nanosheets are 5 times higher than those of the pure VSe_(2) nanosheets without destroying the structures. The enhancement of magnetization is due to the coupling interaction of 3 d orbits between V and Fe atoms. Higher Fe concentration is beneficial to improve the coercivity, which is attributed to the formation of the second phase Fe3 Se4. This simple chemical preparation method can be extended to prepare the other 2 D materials.展开更多

The as-obtained TiO_2@SnS_2@N-C composite delivers a remarkable capacity performance(840 mA h g^(-1) at a current density of 200 mA g^(-1)), excellent rate capability and long-cycling life stability(293 mA h g^(-1) at 1 A g^(-1) after 600 cycles). The excellent electrochemical performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect of each component of the unique hybrid structure, in which the SnS_2 nanosheets with open framworks offer high capacity, while the porous N-doped carbon nanoplates arrays on flexible carbon cloth are able to improve the conductivity and the TiO_2 passivation layer can keep the structure integrity of SnS_2 nanosheets.展开更多
