SnO-SnO2 modified two-dimensional MXene Ti3C2Tx for acetone gas sensor working at room temperature

Acetone,as widely used reagents in industry and laboratories,are extremely harmful to the human.So the detection of acetone gas concentrations and leaks in special environments at room temperature is essential.Herein,the nanocomposite combining SnO-SnO2 (p-n junction) and Ti3C2Tx MXene was successfully synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method.Because of the existence of a small amount of oxygen during the hydrothermal conditions,part of the p-type SnO was oxidized to n-type SnO2,forming in-situ p-n junctions on the surface of SnO.The hamburger-like SnO-SnO2/Ti3C2Tx sensor exhibited improved acetone gas sensing response of 12.1 (Rg/Ra) at room temperature,which were nearly 11 and 4 times higher than those of pristine Ti3C2Tx and pristine SnO-SnO2,respectively.Moreover,it expressed a short recovery time (9 s) and outstanding reproducibility.Because of the different work functions,the Schottky barrier was formed between the SnO and the Ti3C2Tx nanosheets,acting as a hole accumulation layer (HALs) between Ti3C2Tx and tin oxides.Herein,the sensing mechanism based on the formation of hetero-junctions and high conductivity of the metallic phase of Ti3C2Tx MXene in SnO-SnO2/Ti3C2Tx sensors was discussed in detail.

Facile synthesis of defected TiO2-x (B) nanosheet/graphene oxide hybrids with high photocatalytic activity

TiO2 (B) nanosheets/GO (graphene oxide) hybrids are considered to be outstanding performance pho-tocatalysts for high efficiency of H2 evolution.However,they still suffer severe challenges during the synthetic processes,such as a large amount of the capping agents adhering on the surface and easy occurrence of aggregation.To figure out these obstacles,Ar plasma treatment as a modified method in this study not only enable the TiO2 (B) nanosheets distributed uniformly on the GO sheets but also engi-neer defects within TiO2 (B) nanosheetsto significantly improve the photocatalytic activity for the water splitting.The hydrogen evolution rate of the TiO2-x (B)/GO sheets is 1.4 times higher compared with that of original TiO2 (B)/GO sheets without Ar plasma treatment.The improved photocatalytic proper-ties were owing to the synergetic effects of oxygen vacancies and the heterojunction between GO and TiO2 (B),which can promote the visible light utilization and accelerate separation and transportation of photogenerated electron-holes.This study can provide a facile pathway to prepare the two-dimensional hybrid photocatalysts with high photocatalytic H2 activity.     

In-situ Synthesis of Ti3AlC2/TiC-Al2O3 Composite from TiO2-Al-C System

Ti3AlC2/TiC-Al2O3 composite was synthesized by a combustion reaction in TiO2-Al-C system. The effect of the compositions in raw materials on the products was investigated.

La/TiO2-SiO2薄膜的光催化性能研究

Synthesis of TiO2/GO composite film via an electrochemical route

A nano-structured film composed of TiO2 and reduced graphite oxide (GO) was synthesized on ITO glass via a typical electrochemical route. A mixed solvent of Ti(SO4)2 and GO was prepared, with the addition of H2O2, HNO3 and DMF at different ratio. A setup of two electrodes of ITO glass in a plastic cell and an electrochemical analyzer is used for the film forming. The film is characterized with a microstructure of GO plates being perpendicular to the glass substrate, since GO in the electrolyte solvent is separated as small plates at about several nanometers in diameter. TiO2 is found being deposited between these GO plates. This microstructure is quite different from the film formed by normal deposition, where the GO plates are generally parallel to the substrate. The oxygen containing groups of C=O, C-O-C and C-OH on the GO surface are reduced because of neighboring to TiO2, it means two phases being bonded to each other at the interface. The photoelectric current of the composite film is compared with the pure TiO2 film, the former one is almost one time higher than the latter one. The degradation of methyl orange of two kinds of film is also analyzed under the irradiation of ultraviolet light. The photocatalytic activity of two kinds of film presents the same trend of variation as that of photoelectric current. These results suggest that the photoexcited electrons of TiO2 may quickly transfer to the glass substrate through the reduced GO neighbor, that owns a better conductivity, and so far decrease the recovery of excited electron-hole. The unordinary microstructure of the composite film may favor both to the electron transmission between the GO and ITO glass substrate, and to the light excitation of TiO2. The microstructure of different films was studies by AFM, XPS, FESEM. The photo-electrochemical property was measured by an electrochemical instrument Model CHI660C with Blupoint4 as a UV light source.

Shape transformation and relaxation dynamics of photoexcited TiO2/Ag nanocomposites

The laser-induced sintering of TiO2 nanoparticles into larger nanospheres is accelerated by adsorbed silver particles. For the same weight fraction of silver, silver nanoparticles of 5 nm in diameter modify TiO2 nanoparticles more effectively than those of 1.5 nm do, suggesting that the photocatalysis of TiO2 nanoparticles as well as their stability is highly dependent on the sizes, the shapes, and the distribution of adsorbed metal nanoparticles. The photoexcited electrons of TiO2 nanoparticles are quenched at trap sites and surface states by transfer to the conduction band of silver, implying that the presence of adsorbed silver nanoparticles enhances the photocatalytic effect of TiO2.

Electrostatically Assembling 2D Nanosheets of MXene and MOF‐Derivatives into 3D Hollow Frameworks for Enhanced Lithium Storage

As an essential member of 2D materials, MXene (e.g., Ti₃C₂T_x) is highly preferred for energy storage owing to a high surface‐to‐volume ratio, shortened ion diffusion pathway, superior electronic conductivity, and neglectable volume change, which are beneficial for electrochemical kinetics. However, the low theoretical capacitance and restacking issues of MXene severely limit its practical application in lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, a facile and controllable method is developed to engineer 2D nanosheets of negatively charged MXene and positively charged layered double hydroxides derived from ZIF‐67 polyhedrons into 3D hollow frameworks via electrostatic self‐assembling. After thermal annealing, transition metal oxides (TMOs)@MXene (CoO/Co₂Mo₃O₈@MXene) hollow frameworks are obtained and used as anode materials for LIBs. CoO/Co₂Mo₃O₈ nanosheets prevent MXene from aggregation and contribute remarkable lithium storage capacity, while MXene nanosheets provide a 3D conductive network and mechanical robustness to facilitate rapid charge transfer at the interface, and accommodate the volume expansion of the internal CoO/Co₂Mo₃O₈. Such hollow frameworks present a high reversible capacity of 947.4 mAh g^?1 at 0.1 A g^?1, an impressive rate behavior with 435.8 mAh g^?1 retained at 5 A g^?1, and good stability over 1200 cycles (545 mAh g^?1 at 2 A g^?1).

Photocatalytic degradation of gaseous benzene over TiO2/Sr2CeO4: preparation and photocatalytic behavior of TiO2/Sr2CeO4

The paper demonstrates that the photocatalytic activity of TiO(2) towards the decomposition of gaseous benzene in a batch reactor can be greatly improved by loading TiO(2) on the surface of Sr(2)CeO(4). The research investigates the optimum loading amount of TiO(2) on Sr(2)CeO(4) in enhancing the photocatalytic activity of TiO(2). The prepared photocatalyst was characterized by XRD, UV-vis diffuse reflectance and XPS analyses. TiO(2) is loaded on Sr(2)CeO(4) at 773K. TiO(2)/Sr(2)CeO(4) absorbs much more visible light than TiO(2). The XPS spectrum shows that there are Ti, O, C, Sr elements on the surface of the TiO(2)/Sr(2)CeO(4), and that the binding energy value of Ti2p transfers to a lower value. TiO(2)/Sr(2)CeO(4) demonstrates 2.0 times the photocatalytic activity of pure TiO(2). Based upon these observations, the mechanistic role of Sr(2)CeO(4) in the photocatalytic oxidation reaction has been suggested.
