Easy Room Temperature Synthesis of High Surface Area Anatase Nanowires with Different Morphologies

Anatase nanowires were synthesized in solution by using a simple mixing of titanium diisopropoxide bis(acetylacetonate), lactic acid and sodium hydroxide at room temperature. We discuss effects of reaction parameters and post treatment (annealing) on the nanowire morphology, surface area, and crystallinity, as well as the competing morphology directing effects of lactic acid and sodium hydroxide. Then the room temperature nanowires were directly grown onto fluoride doped tin oxide (FTO) glass to form photoanodes. Photoelectrochemical measurements of the different nanowires were performed and compared to conventional nanowires produced by high temperature synthesis. Clearly the nanowires introduced in this work show a significant increase in the maximum photocurrent, compared to classic hydrothermal nanowire layers.     

Controlled synthesis of Ag/TiO2 core-shell nanowires with smooth and bristled surfaces via a one-step solution route

Ag/TiO2 core-shell nanowires were synthesized via a one-step solution method without using a template. Interestingly, the shell morphologies can be controlled to be smooth or bristled by altering the reaction temperature. Moreover, the TiO2 shell thickness and bristle length can be tuned by changing the AgNO3 concentration. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected-area electron diffraction (SAED), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the resultant Ag/TiO2 core-shell nanowires. Moreover, the absorption peaks of our samples are significantly red-shifted compared with those of the uncoated pure silver nanowires, indicating that interaction between the core and shell occurred. On the basis of the experimental results, we proposed a template-induced Oswald ripening mechanism to explain the formation of the Ag/TiO2 core-shell nanowires.     

Synthesis and characterization of TiO2@C core-shell nanowires and nanowalls via chemical vapor deposition for potential large-scale production

TiO(2) nanowires and nanowalls core structures covered with carbon shell were selectively synthesized by a simple chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method using commercial titanium powder as the starting material. Morphology and structure of the products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The core shell structure is composed of single crystalline rutile titanium dioxide wrapped by amorphous carbon shell. By adjusting the growth temperature, morphology of the products can be controlled from one-dimensional nanowires to two-dimensional nanowalls. While TiO(2)@C nanowires were a preferred structure at higher temperature, TiO(2)@C nanowalls dominated the final product at lower temperature. A growth mechanism was proposed based on the initial growth state of these nanostructures, in which solid-state diffusion of the elements involved in the reaction was assumed to play an essential role. The obtained TiO(2)@C core shell structures may find potential applications in various nanoscale realms such as optoelectronic, electronic and electrochemical nanodevices and the simple synthesis procedure promises large scale production and commercialization of the titanium oxide@carbon nanostructures.

BLT光催化剂具有更高催化活性的原因是La³⁺离子掺杂拓展了BIT对可见光的吸收范围, 同时抑制了BIT的光生电子-空穴的复合.     

Photoelectrochemical study on charge transfer properties of TiO2-B nanowires with an application as humidity sensors

One-dimensional (1-D) TiO2-B nanowires have been synthesized via a facile solvothermal route. The morphology and crystalline structures of the nanowires were characterized by using powder X-ray diffraction, low/high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller methods. It is important with the calcination treatment at 350 degrees C to maintain 1-D morphologies of the material in the form of single-crystalline TiO2-B nanowires. In addition, a simple method was used to study the photogenerated charge transfer and photoelectrochemical properties of the TiO2-B nanowires in comparison with commercial TiO2 P25 nanoparticles based on the experimental data from the electric field-effected photocurrent action spectrum and Mott-Schottky measurements. It was revealed that TiO2-B nanostructures played an important role in the photoelectrochemical processes. The synthetic TiO2-B nanowire electrode exhibited unique electronic properties, e.g., favorable charge-transfer ability, negative-shifted appearing flat-band potential, existence of abundant surface states or oxygen vacancies, and high-level dopant density. Moreover, the obtained TiO2-B nanowires were found to display excellent humidity sensing abilities as functional materials in the humidity sensor application. With relative humidity increased from 5% to 95%, about one and half orders of magnitude change in resistance was observed in the TiO2-B nanowire-based surface-type humidity sensors.
