Here, TiO2(B)/anatase nanowires with interfacial heterostructures were prepared through a three-step synthesis method, including hydrothermal treatment, H+ exchange, and annealing. The phase structures of the nanowires in the bulk and on the surface during the annealing process were monitored by XRD and UV-Raman spectroscopy, respectively. SEM and TEM results indicate that the TiO2(B) nanowires partially collapse and transform into anatase during the annealing process and the heterophase junction structure is formed simultaneously. On the basis of the phase structure together with morphology data, a phase-transformation mechanism was proposed. Photocatalytic activity was evaluated by hydrogen production and pollutant-degradation assays. The optimized structure of the photocatalyst contains 24% TiO2(B) in the bulk and 100% anatase on the surface. The charge-carrier behavior during the photocatalytic process was investigated by photocurrent, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS), and photoluminescence(PL) spectroscopy, which revealed that the heterophase-junction structure in the bulk was responsible for the highly efficient charge separation and transportation, etc.; the anatase on the surface took control of the high surface-reaction activity.展开更多

The formation of alloy phases during the CS process was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). When the time increases from 0, 0.5, 1.0 to 2.0 h at 733 K, the products are Mg and A1; Mg2A13, Mg and A1; Mgl7All2, Mg2A13; and Mg; and eventually only MgI7A112, respectively. Combined with three peaks in the DSC traces, it is concluded that the formation of MglyAll2 during the CS includes three processes, namely, the formation of MgzA13 first; then the unsaturated solid solution, MglvAla2; and finally the complete MglvA112 alloy. The formation of MgzA13 prior to MglvA112 in this work is different from those prepared by mechanical alloying. This is thought to be related to the instant high temperature during the ther- mal explosion of CS.展开更多
