In this work, we demonstrated the facile fabrication of 3D interconnected nanoporous N-doped TiO2 （N-TiO2 network） by annealing the anodized 3D interconnected nanoporous TiO2 （TiO2 network） in ammonia atmosphere. The obtained N-TiO2 network exhibited broadened light absorption, and abundant, interconnected pores for improving charge separation, which was supported by the reduced charge transfer resistance. With these merits, a remarkably high photocurrent density at 1.23 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode （RHE） was realized for the N-TiO2 network without any co-catalysts or sacrificial reagents, and the photostability can be assured after long term illumination. In view of its simplicity and efficiency, this structure promises for perspective PEC applications.展开更多

The structure and morphology of the composites were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction（XRD）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FTIR） and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. It was found that the p-n junction p-NiO/n-TiO2 particles were trapped in the polyaniline molecular matrix and the polyaniline was deposited on the surface of the particles to form a kind of flower cluster morphologies. The electrochemical behavior of the polyaniline composites was investigated. The electrochemical reactivity of the polyaniline was influenced by the p-NiO/n-TiO2 particles due to the effect of electron-hole pairs in these p-n junction particles. The reversibility of redox process and current intensity of the polyaniline composites with the changing of potential scan rate were also discussed.展开更多

The different thickness nanostructure N-TiO2 thin films coated on mesh grid were prepared by sol-gel method and immobilized at 500 ℃ （films A） or 350 ℃ （films B） for 1 h in a muffle furnace. The results showed that N-TiO2 thin film B （8.18 nm thickness, 2.760 nm height and 25.15 nm diameter） has more uniform granular nanostructure and thinner flat texture than N-TiO2 thin film A （12.17 nm thickness, 3.578 nm height and 27.50 nm diameter）. The bactericidal action of N-TiO2 thin film A and film B for Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain （AS 1.50） and Bacillus subtilis varniger strain （AS1.439） were investigated in this work. More than 95% of photocatalytic bactericidal efficiency for Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain （AS 1.50） and 75% for Bacillus subtilis strain （AS 1.439） were achieved by using N-TiO2 thin films-B for 70-80 rain of irradiation during the photo-bactericidal experimental process. The results indicated that the photo-induced bactericidal efficiency of N-TiO2 thin films probably depended on the characteristics of the films.展开更多
