Abstract
Solar reforming (SR) is a promising green-energy technology that can use sunlight to mitigate biomass and plastic waste while producing hydrogen gas at ambient pressure and temperature. However, practical challenges, including photocatalyst lifetime, recyclability, and low production rates in turbid waste suspensions, limit SR's industrial potential. By immobilizing SR catalyst materials (carbon nitride/platinum; CNx |Pt and carbon nitride/nickel phosphide; CNx |Ni2 P) on hollow glass microspheres (HGM), which act as floating supports enabling practical composite recycling, such limitations can be overcome. Substrates derived from plastic and biomass, including poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and cellulose, are reformed by floating SR composites, which are reused for up to ten consecutive cycles under realistic, vertical simulated solar irradiation (AM1.5G), reaching activities of 1333 ± 240 µmolH2 m-2 h-1 on pre-treated PET. Floating SR composites are also advantageous in realistic waste where turbidity prevents light absorption by non-floating catalyst powders, achieving 338.1 ± 1.1 µmolH2 m-2 h-1 using floating CNx versus non-detectable H2 production with non-floating CNx and a pre-treated PET bottle as substrate. Low Pt loadings (0.033 ± 0.0013% m/m) demonstrate consistent performance and recyclability, allowing efficient use of precious metals for SR hydrogen production from waste substrates at large areal scale (217 cm2 ), taking an important step toward practical SR implementation.

Abstract
Titania is probably the most widely investigated semiconductor photocatalyst because of various advantages, such as high activity, thermal and chemical stability, low price, abundance, and negligible toxicity. However, pristine titania is also characterized by charge carriers’ recombination, and thus lower quantum yields of photocatalytic reactions than theoretical 100%. Moreover, its wide bandgap, despite being recommended for excellent redox properties, means also inactivity under visible part of solar radiation. Accordingly, titania has been surface modified, doped and coupled with various elements/compounds. For example, platinum deposited on the surface of titania has shown to improve both UV activity and the performance under vis. Although the studies on titania modification with platinum started almost half a century ago, and huge number of papers have been published up to now, it is unclear which properties are the most crucial and recommended to obtain highly efficient photocatalyst. In the literature, the opposite findings could be found on the property-governed activities that could result from huge differences in the reaction systems, and also examined photocatalysts. Considering the platinum properties, its content, the size of nanoparticles and the oxidation state, must be examined. Obviously, the characteristics of titania also influence the resultant properties of deposited platinum, and thus the overall photocatalytic performance. Although so many reports on Pt/TiO2 have been published, it is hardly possible to give indispensable advice on the recommended properties. However, it might be concluded that usually fine platinum NPs uniformly deposited on the titania surface result in high photocatalytic activity, and thus in the low optimal content of necessary platinum. Moreover, the aggregation of titania particles might also help in the lowering the necessary platinum amount (even to 0.2 wt%) due to the interparticle electron transfer mechanism between titania particles in one aggregate. In respect of platinum state, it is thought that it is highly substrate-specific case, and thus either positively charged or zero valent platinum is the most recommended. It might be concluded that despite huge number of papers published on platinum-modified titania, there is still a lack of comprehensive study showing the direct correlation between only one property and the resultant photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
The chemical state of Pt in cocatalysts has a major influence on the activity and selectivity of the photocatalytic reduction of CO2; however, the underlying mechanism is unclear owing to the co-existence of different Pt chemical states and mutual transformation between them. In this study, PtO/TiO2 catalysts were prepared through photodeposition and Pt/TiO2 was prepared by the photoreduction of PtO/TiO2 to avoid interference arising from co-existing Pt forms and different loading amounts. These catalysts exhibited completely reversed selectivity for CO and CH4 production during CO2 photoreduction: PtO/TiO2 tended to produce CO (100%), whereas Pt/TiO2 favored the production of CH4 (66.6%). By combining experimental analysis and theoretical calculations, the difference in selectivity was ascribed to the different charge transfer/separation and CO/H adsorption properties of PtO/TiO2 and Pt/TiO2. Photoelectric and photoluminescence (PL) analysis showed that Pt was more advantageous to the photogenerated carrier separation compared with PtO, which was conducive to the multi-electron CH4 reduction reaction. Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption/temperature-programmed reduction, and density functional theory calculations indicated that the adsorption of CO and hydrogen on Pt was stronger than that on PtO, which favored the further reduction of CO to CH4. Based on the above results, a mechanism was proposed to explain the reversed selectivity of the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 over Pt/TiO2 and PtO/TiO2.

Abstract
The paper reviews graphitic carbon nitride-based nanostructured photocatalytic materials and nanofibres for applications in water purification. Titanium dioxide has shown unique features that continue to attract research and development (R&D) due to its unique properties such as availability, ultraviolet absorptivity, photocatalysis, adsorption of pollutants and solar cell engineering. Graphitic carbon nitride is an attractive photocatalyst due to its non-toxicity characteristics, good visible light absorption and good thermal and chemical stabilities. In water purification, nanofibres are currently noticed due to their distinctive properties of effective separation and sometimes elimination of organic pollutants in water. In this review, synthesis and utility of doped titanium dioxide and carbon nitride with metal nanoparticles and polymeric nanofibres from nanocomposites as effective materials for the degradation of organic contaminations from water are discussed. The history, current trends and future perspectives are highlighted.

Abstract
The growing world energy consumption, with reliance on conventional energy sources and the associated environmental pollution, are considered the most serious threats faced by mankind. Heterogeneous photocatalysis has become one of the most frequently investigated technologies, due to its dual functionality, i.e., environmental remediation and converting solar energy into chemical energy, especially molecular hydrogen. H2 burns cleanly and has the highest gravimetric gross calorific value among all fuels. However, the use of a suitable electron donor, in what so-called “photocatalytic reforming”, is required to achieve acceptable efficiency. This oxidation half-reaction can be exploited to oxidize the dissolved organic pollutants, thus, simultaneously improving the water quality. Such pollutants would replace other potentially costly electron donors, achieving the dual-functionality purpose. Since the aromatic compounds are widely spread in the environment, they are considered attractive targets to apply this technology. In this review, different aspects are highlighted, including the employing of different polymorphs of pristine titanium dioxide as photocatalysts in the photocatalytic processes, also improving the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 by loading different types of metal co-catalysts, especially platinum nanoparticles, and comparing the effect of various loading methods of such metal co-catalysts. Finally, the photocatalytic reforming of aromatic compounds employing TiO2-based semiconductors is presented.

Abstract
This work presents a comparative study of the efficiency of two commercial TiO2 photocatalysts, Aeroxide P25 (ATiO2) and Sachtleben Hombikat UV100 (HTiO2), in H2 production from an aqueous solution of naphthalene. The TiO2 photocatalysts were platinized by the photodeposition method varying the platinum content of the suspension to 0.5, 1.0, and 5.0 wt%. A full physicochemical characterization for these materials was performed, showing no structural effects from the deposition method, and confirming a well dispersion of nanosized-Pt0 particles on the surface of both photocatalysts. Pristine ATiO2 shows around 14% higher photocatalytic fractional conversion of naphthalene than pristine HTiO2 after 240 min of irradiation, while both materials exhibit negligible activity for H2 formation. The 0.5 wt% Pt- HTiO2 increases the photocatalytic fractional conversion of naphthalene from 71% to 82% and produces 6 µmol of H2. However, using a higher Pt content than the optimal platinization ratio of 0.5 wt% dramatically inhibits both processes. On the other hand, regardless of the fractional ratio of Pt, the platinization of ATiO2 results in a decrease in the fractional conversion of naphthalene by 4% to 33% of the pristine value. Although the presence of Pt islands on the surface of the ATiO2 is essential for the H2 evolution, no dependency between the Pt ratio and the H2 formation rate was observed since all the platinized materials show a similar H2 formation of around 3 µmol. Based on the EPR results, the higher photocatalytic activity of the Pt-HTiO2 is attributed to the efficient charge carrier separation and its larger surface area. The recyclability test confirms that the inhibition of the photocatalytic process is related to the deactivation of the photocatalyst surface by the adsorption of the photoformed intermediates. A strong relationship between the photocatalytic activity and the kind of the aromatic compounds was observed. The H2 evolution and the photooxidation of the aromatic hydrocarbons exhibit higher photonic efficiencies than that of their corresponding hydroxylated compounds over the Pt-HTiO2.

Abstract
An efficient method for the deposition of ionic platinum species PtOx onto a TiO2 surface was developed on the basis of light-induced activation of the [Pt(NO3)6]2- anion. The deposited PtOx species with an effective Pt oxidation state between +4 and +2 have an oxygen-made environment and include single ion centers {PtOn} and polyatomic ensembles {PtnOm} connected to a TiO2 surface with Pt-O-Ti bonds. The resulting PtOx/TiO2 materials were tested as photocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) from a water ethanol mixture and have shown uniquely high activity with the rate of H2 evolution achieving 11 mol h-1 per gram of Pt, which is the highest result for such materials reported to date. A combination of spectral methods shows that, under HER conditions, reduction of the supported PtOx species leads to the formation of well-dispersed nanoparticles of metallic platinum attached on the surface of TiO2 by Ti-O-Pt bonds. The high activity of the PtOx/TiO2 materials is believed to result from a combination of uniform distribution of small platinum nanoparticles over the titania surface and their close interaction with TiO2.

Abstract
Many nanofabrication processes require sophisticated equipment, elevated temperature, vacuum or specific atmospheric conditions, templates, and exotic chemicals, which severely hamper their implementation in real-world applications. In this study, we outline a fully wet-chemical procedure for equipping a 3D carbon felt (CF) substrate with a multifunctional, titania nanospike-supported Pt-Pd nanoparticle (Pt-Pd-TiO2@CF) layer in a facile and scalable manner. The nanostructure, composition, chemical speciation, and formation of the material was meticulously investigated, evidencing the conformal coating of the substrate with a roughened layer of nanocrystalline rutile spikes by chemical bath deposition from Ti3+ solutions. The spikes are densely covered by bimetallic nanoparticles of 4.4 ± 1.1 nm in size, which were produced by autocatalytic Pt deposition onto Pd seeds introduced by Sn2+ ionic layer adsorption and reaction. The as-synthesized nanocomposite was applied to the (photo)electro-oxidation of formic acid (FA), exhibiting a superior performance compared to Pt-plated, Pd-seeded CF (Pt-Pd@CF) and commercial Pt-C, indicating the promoting electrocatalytic role of the TiO2 support. Upon UV-Vis illumination, the performance of the Pt-Pd-TiO2@CF electrode is remarkably increased (22-fold), generating a current density of 110 mA cm-2, distinctly outperforming titania-free Pt-Pd@CF (5 mA cm-2) and commercial Pt-C (6 mA cm-2) reference catalysts. In addition, the Pt-Pd-TiO2@CF showed a much better stability, characterized by a very high poisoning tolerance for in situ-generated CO intermediates, whose formation is hindered in the presence of TiO2. This overall performance boost is attributed to a dual enhancement mechanism (∼30% electrocatalytic and ∼70% photoelectrocatalytic). The photogenerated electrons from the TiO2 conduction band enrich the electron density of the Pt nanoparticles, promoting the generation of active oxygen species on their surfaces from adsorbed oxygen and water molecules, which facilitate the direct FA electro-oxidation into CO2.

Abstract
The photocatalytic oxidation of urea on TiO2 in water was compared with that in urine. Despite the presence of other organic compounds in urine, the oxidation efficiency of urea on TiO2 in urine was higher than that in water. This enhanced oxidation of urea in urine is ascribed to the higher production of •OH (primary oxidant for urea degradation) by the adsorption of PO43- (one constituent of urine) on the TiO2 surface. Among the various anions in urine, only PO43- was adsorbed on the surface of TiO2. Both the production of •OH and the oxidation of urea were enhanced in the presence of PO43-. These results indicate that the enhanced •OH production by in situ surface phosphorylation is the reason for the increased oxidation of urea in urine. Surface platinization of TiO2 enhanced the oxidation of urea in water. However, the oxidation efficiency of urea on Pt/TiO2 in urine was lower than that in water. This behavior is due to the adsorption of PO43- and SO42- in urine on Pt deposits, which inhibits the adsorption of oxygen and the interfacial electron transfer to oxygen. The product distribution (i.e., the molar ratio of NO3- to NH4+) in water was different from that in urine because the negatively charged surface of TiO2 in urine attracts the positively charged area of carbamic acid (intermediate) and encourages its decomposition into NH4+ and not into NO3-.

Abstract
This study differs from previous studies of TiO2/SiO2 in that 0.5–10 μm microsized TiO2-rutile based catalysts (TR catalysts) with varying proportions of titanium and silicon were synthesized using a one-step modified hydrothermal method. At Ti/Si = 1/9, a two-dimensional channel-structured catalyst with a morphology resembling that of SBA-15 was obtained. In contrast, at Ti/Si = 3/7 or 5/5, a three-dimensional porous structure was formed, and Ti–O–Si–C bonds appeared. The structure of the TR catalyst transformed due to the decrease in C–Si bond content and the increase in C–C bond content with increasing Ti/Si ratio. The results indicated that the rutile phase was the main crystal phase of the TR catalyst. The small crystal size and large rutile phase content of the mesoporous TR catalyst contributed to the low band gap energy below 3.0 eV. Under 2 × 10 W lamp irradiation with either UVA or visible light, the three TR catalysts showed better formaldehyde (HCHO) removal efficiency than P25. Furthermore, the Taguchi method was employed to evaluate the catalytic factors by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and S/N ratio. The results revealed the contributions of each of the three factors to HCHO removal efficiency over TR catalysts to be as follows: space velocity (62%), Ti ratio (32%), and time on stream (5%). The TR catalyst with Ti/Si = 1/9 showed good HCHO removal efficiency with a high SBET (787.1 m2 g−1) and large pore volume (0.95 cm3 g−1) for a residence time of over 2.29 × 10−1 s under visible light irradiation. Microwave-assisted EG reduction was successfully applied to dope a TR catalyst with nanosized Pt particles in a short synthesis time. After Pt doping, the removal efficiency in the stream improved and stabilized. The Pt particles were Pt0 and proved effective for improving the photocatalytic removal of HCHO over the TR catalyst by prolonging the separation time of the electron–hole pairs. Overall, the Pt/TR catalyst is a potential material for pollutant removal and can be easily separated from the pollutant removal system since the catalysts are microsized. This study differs from previous studies of TiO2/SiO2 in that 0.5–10 μm microsized TiO2-rutile based catalysts (TR catalysts) with varying proportions of titanium and silicon were synthesized using a one-step modified hydrothermal method.![]()
