Article Abstract
The preparation of anodic TiO nanotube layers has been performed using electrochemical anodization of Ti foil for 4 h at different voltages (from 0 V to 80 V). In addition, a TiO thin layer has been also prepared using the sol-gel method. All the photocatalysts have been characterized by XRD, SEM, and DRS to investigate the crystalline phase composition, the surface morphology, and the optical properties, respectively. The performance of the photocatalyst has been assessed in versatile photocatalytic reactions including the reduction of NO gas and the oxidation of aqueous sulfamethoxazole. Due to their high specific surface area and excellent charge carriers transport, anodic TiO nanotube layers have exhibited the highest NO conversion rate (up to 10% after 22 h) and the highest degradation extent of sulfamethoxazole (about 65% after 4 h) under UVA light. The degradation mechanism of sulfamethoxazole has been investigated by analyzing its transformation products by LC-MS and the predominant role of hydroxyl radicals has been confirmed. Finally, the efficiency of the anodic TiO nanotube layer has been tested in real wastewater reaching up to 45% of sulfamethoxazole degradation after 4 h.

Phosphorus is recognized as a major pollutant in municipal and domestic wastewater, but the effective removal of organic phosphorus (OP) using conventional wastewater treatment technologies is difficult. Herein, a novel visible light-enhanced Ti electrocoagulation (EC) technology was proposed for the removal of OP using 2-amino-ethyl phosphonic acid (AEP) as a model compound to elucidate the removal efficiency and mechanisms. The results showed that the irradiation under visible light (670 Lux) effectively enhanced the removal of AEP by Ti EC.

Rational optimization of the pore size and topology of porous nanocarriers is crucial for improving the loading amount of luminophore and enhancing electrochemiluminescence (ECL) performance. In this study, an equimolar linear ligand replacement strategy was employed to synthesize novel mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for encapsulating Ru(bpy) (Ru@Zr MOFs) under room temperature without an acid modulator. Ingenious ligand substitution allows precise control of pore size, enabling encapsulation at the single-molecule level within mesoporous cages.

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most substantial challenges for global public health. To address the inefficient elimination of intracellular resistance genes (i-ARGs) in antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) by peracetic acid (PAA) oxidation, we developed an integration strategy (NW-EP/EA) of nanowire-confined electroporation (NW-EP) of ARB cells and nanowire-confined electroactivation (NW-EA) of PAA with a sequential oxidation-reduction process. The locally enhanced electric field and electrocatalytic activity over NW tips prompted the formation of electroporation pores on ARB cells and the generation of reactive ⋅OH and RO⋅ radicals by PAA electroactivation.

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.

The long-term stability of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) faces significant challenges, particularly during start-up and shut-down events, which lead to degradation of the cathode catalyst through the oxidation of its carbon support. To improve catalyst durability, an anode catalyst with a high selectivity toward the hydrogen oxidation/evolution reaction rather than the oxygen reduction reaction is necessary. Pt/TiO/C ( < 2) catalysts have been reported to provide excellent hydrogen selectivity due to its strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) between Pt particles and TiO support.
