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

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

Isolated Bi ions, confined on the surface of TiO2 nanosheets using a simple ionic adsorption method facilitate the formation of a built-in electric field that effectively promotes charge carrier separation. This leads to an improved performance of the photocatalytic COa reduction process with the preferred conversion to CH4. The proposed surface ion-adsorption method is expected to provide an effective approach for the design of highly efficient photocatalytic systems. These findings could be very valuable in photocatalytic CO2 reduction applications.展开更多

SEM, TEM, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy have been employed to characterize the nanosheet films. The TiO2 nanosheet arrays were further applied as electron transport materials of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells, achieving power conversion efficiency of 6.99%.展开更多
