Article Abstract
We apply high-energy proton ion-implantation to modify TiO2 nanotubes selectively at their tops. In the proton-implanted region, we observe the creation of intrinsic cocatalytic centers for photocatalytic H2-evolution. We find proton implantation to induce specific defects and a characteristic modification of the electronic properties not only in nanotubes but also on anatase single crystal (001) surfaces. Nevertheless, for TiO2 nanotubes a strong synergetic effect between implanted region (catalyst) and implant-free tube segment (absorber) can be obtained.

Titanium (Ti) and Ti alloy are the most widely used implant metals, but the limited bioactivity hinders the further clinical application. Aiming to enhance their osteogenesis, dual biomimetic strategies were utilized to decorate the surface of Ti by topological and biochemical cues. Firstly, a series of concentric circles with TiO nanotubes on Ti were fabricated by photolithography and anodic oxidation.

In this work, TiO anatase nanotubes (NTs) were synthesized using a straightforward, two-step anodic oxidation method. To tackle with the optical and electrical properties of the material, a thin layer of tantalum was sputtered onto the nanotube surface. The microstructure of the modified material was analyzed using scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), while changes in chemical bonding were examined by utilizing X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Due to their outstanding physicochemical properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely studied and applied in the nanoscience and nanotechnology fields. Herein, Fe-based catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method using AlO, SiO, ZrO, TiO and SnO supports and were used for CNT synthesis from -hexane under different reaction times and temperatures. It was found that the metal-support interaction and FeO particle size of Fe-based catalysts regulated CNT growth.

In recent years, agriculture has undergone transformative innovations to enhance crop productivity, resilience, and nutritional value. With increasing concerns over food security, environmental degradation, and soil health, there is growing emphasis on sustainable agricultural practices. Among these strategies, the use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have emerged as promising solutions.

Airborne transmission of pathogens has emerged as a significant public health concern amid recurring pandemics. While conventional air filtration can capture bioaerosols, it poses risks of re-emitting pathogens, necessitating long-term air sterilization. Here, we developed a photo-regenerable antimicrobial air filter by grafting Cu clusters onto a titanium dioxide nanotube mesh (CuO/mTNT, 1 < < 2).
