Nanocrystalline meso-TiO2 also has been synthesized with hexadecylamine template for comparison through known procedure. The meso-TiO2 materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, UV-Vis absorbance spectra, thermal analysis, SEM, HRTEM and textural properties through N-2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. Spherical shape particles in a range of few hundred nanometers are obtained in the template free method. Above systematic characterization provides direct indications toward the mechanism of formation of meso-TiO2 in the template free method.

Au was deposited on TV2 (Au/TV2) through a photodeposition method. Structural, microscopy, and spectroscopy techniques support the incorporation of vanadium into the TiO2 lattice, and Au was deposited on the surfaces of TV2. Photocatalytic oxidation of benzene was conducted at ambient temperature under UV and/or visible light to demonstrate the catalytic activity of the Au/TV2 catalyst. The TV2 lattice exhibits a quantum jump in benzene to phenol oxidation compared to that of TiO2, highlighting the importance of V for oxidation. Introduction of Au onto TV2 further increases the benzene to phenol oxidation and phenol yield by a factor of 2 under UV light compared to those of bare TV2. No significant phenol production was observed in visible light with or without gold, indicating the role of gold is indirect toward charge separation and electron storage. Nano gold clusters on TV2 selectively store photoexcited electrons and in turn maximize holes utilization on TiO2. The high photocatalytic activity of Au/TV2 is mainly attributed to the presence of Schottky junctions, disordered mesoporosity, and short diffusion lengths for charge carriers.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9.307</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Preethi, Laguduva K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mathews, Tom</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Walczak, Lukasz</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gopinath, Chinnakonda S.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marginally hydrogenated triphasic titania nanotubes for effective visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen generation</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Energy Technology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">charge transfer</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Defects</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hydrogenation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">titania</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">water splitting</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FEB</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">280-288</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;We report the first demonstration of hydrogen-annealed triphase TiO nanotubes (anatase-rutile-brookite) (T-ARB) as a visible-light-active photocatalyst for water splitting with high quantum efficiency. As-synthesized T-ARB was annealed under hydrogen atmosphere at 250 and 4508 degrees C for 2 h. We found that the tubular structures were retained in the hydrogenated TiO2 samples. It was observed that the concentrations of Ti3+ and the oxygen vacancies and their distribution significantly increased with respect to the hydrogen annealing temperature. Such changes in defects were found to be critical in enhancing the photocatalytic activity of the hydrogen-annealed triphase TiO2 nanotubes. The triphase TiO2 nanotubes hydrogen annealed at 450 degrees C were 16 times more efficient than pristine TiO2. Such an increase in the photocatalytic activity was explained by a triphase band diagram with defect states below the conduction band of each phase, which facilitated visible-light activity and easy transfer of charge carriers from one phase to another. Our study showed that the well-designed multiphase construction with oxygen vacancies enhanced the photocatalytic activity tremendously owing to the presence of a higher number of phase junctions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.789</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rajendran, Sivaraj</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mani, Sunesh S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nivedhitha, Thazhath R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Asoka, Anantha Krishnan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arun, Pushkaran S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mathew, Thomas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gopinath, Chinnakonda S.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Facile one-pot synthesis of Cu x O/TiO2 photocatalysts by regulating Cu oxidation state for efficient solar H2 production</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACS Applied Energy Materials </style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">heterojunction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Photocatalysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Solar hydrogen</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">thin film</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">titania</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2023</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DEC </style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">104-116</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;
	Development of highly efficient CuxO/TiO2 photocatalysts by regulating the oxidation state of Cu exclusively in either single or mixed oxidation state(s) is desirable but difficult to achieve without employing any external reagents. The present work describes a one-pot synthesis strategy to obtain CuxO/TiO2 photocatalysts with Cu in +1 and/or +2 by using a suitable combination of ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) and ethylene diamine, carefully varying the Cu content, and heat treatment process. CuxO/TiO2 nanocomposite catalysts were characterized thoroughly by physicochemical methods. Textural analysis indicates a high dispersion of CuxO on porous TiO2 with p-n heterojunctions between them in CuxO/TiO2 catalysts. UV-visible spectral analysis suggests the presence of CuxO on TiO2 with significantly extended absorption from the UV to the visible region. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis indicates a strong synergetic interaction between TiO2 and CuxO due to the comparable CB potential and p-n heterojunction at the interface among them. Photoelectrochemical studies demonstrate excellent charge-carrier separation efficiency, low charge-transfer resistance, and high double-layer capacitance with Cu2O/TiO2 photocatalysts. Photocatalytic efficacy of a CuxO/TiO2 nanocomposite in thin-film form has been demonstrated for solar hydrogen generation in sunlight. The incorporation of Cu+ in TiO2 largely improves the H-2 production, and all of the CuxO/TiO2 nanocomposites in thin-film form exhibited higher efficiency compared to their particulate/suspension counterpart. Among the composite catalysts, TiCu-1 in thin-film form, with Cu exclusively in +1 oxidation state, exhibited a high hydrogen production rate of 7.06 mmol/hg, which is 6 times higher than its suspension counterpart; also catalysts containing mixed Cu-oxidation states exhibited about 60-70% activity as that of TiCu-1. The superior performance of Cu2O/TiO2 nanocomposites in thin-film form was due to their enhanced light harvesting ability, high mass transfer rate, and easy accessibility of the reactant species to the active sites.&lt;/p&gt;

	Multiphasic titania has been prepared to study the role of multiple heterojunctions on the charge transfer dynamics and resultant photocatalytic hydrogen production. Through an acid regulated hydrothermal method, four materials with following phase compositions were prepared viz. single phase anatase and rutile, biphasic anatase-rutile and triphasic anatase-brookite-rutile. The phase compositions of the materials were confirmed through XRD and HRTEM studies. The biphasic and triphasic materials were found to be highly nanoparticulate in nature while forming numerous and diverse heterojunctions. In the triphasic material, various binary and ternary heterojunctions were observed. These heterojunctions performed in harmony to ensure efficient charge transport as shown by the low charge transfer resistance and high electron lifetime. This subsequently ensured a high reduction capability and photocurrent response. This all culminated into the triphasic material outperforming all other materials in solar photocatalytic hydrogen production. The H2 yield from the triphasic material was 81% and 40% higher than the pristine anatase and the biphasic material respectively. Additionally, by using the triphasic material in thin film form, a 4-fold increase in the hydrogen yield with a high apparent quantum efficiency of 8.2 % was achieved over the particulate form. The superior charge transport and photocurrent response due to the greater varied heterojunction formation in the anatase-rutile-brookite material as opposed to that in the biphasic material led to this superior performance. Thus, multiple heterojunctions, in this case, a triphasic heterojunction of anatase, rutile and brookite phases opens up a new avenue of research for efficient green hydrogen production.&lt;/p&gt;

	A series of thin-film photocatalysts comprising TiO2 modified with carbon dots (CDs) dispersed either with palladium (Pd-CD/TiO2) or nickel (Ni-CD/TiO2) were synthesized via solid-state and wet-impregnation methods. Morphological characterization (HR-TEM, SEM-EDS) confirmed the anatase phase of TiO2 and the atomic dispersion of metal-integrated CDs on its surface. UV-vis DRS and XPS analyses revealed a marginal red shift in band-gap and the presence of sp2-hybridized graphitic carbon, and metal-carbon interactions, indicating enhanced light absorption and charge separation through Schottky junctions. Under direct sunlight illumination, Pd-CD/TiO2 thin film exhibited superior hydrogen yield (1167 mu mol g-1 h-1) and maintained stability over 25 h, outperforming Ni-CD/TiO2 (494 mu mol g-1 h-1) and bare TiO2 (166 mu mol g-1 h-1) photocatalyst thin films. Concurrent glycerol oxidation at neutral pH (pH similar to 7) yields glycolaldehyde (41% selectivity), formic acid, and dihydroxyacetone as value-added products. Enhanced photocurrent density and lower impedance of Pd-CD/TiO2 corroborate improved charge carrier separation and dynamics. The results demonstrate that Pd-CD synergistically improves the photocatalytic performance of the Pd-CD/TiO2 for sustainable hydrogen generation and selective biomass valorization.&lt;/p&gt;
