Malachite Green Dye Decoloration over Au/TiO 2-Nanotubes Photocatalyst under Simulate Visible-Light Irradiation. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:6209.

Abstract
Au nanoparticles were supported on TiO2 nanotubes by a novel vapor phase impregnation approach (VPI) using gold dimethyl-acetylacetonate as a precursor. This study aimed to evaluate the capacity of these materials in the photodecoloration of malachite green dye, with the vision to correlate the chemical, structural, morphological, and optical properties with its photocatalytic performance. The photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectronic spectroscopy (XPS), electronic microscopy (HAADF-STEM and HRTEM), and UV-vis spectroscopy. The techniques mentioned above made it possible to detect the presence of small gold nanoparticles (around 3.1 nm), with a high apparent dispersion even at high metal loading for all analyzed systems. According to the XPS results, the Au nanoparticles remain reduced (Au°), and they have a high electronic interaction with TiO2, which eventually originates an electronic exchange between them and consequently a decrease in the band gap energy. In addition, the surface plasmonic resonance observed through UV-vis spectroscopy of the Au nanoparticles are factors that can be related to the high decoloration observed in these photocatalysts, specifically in the 15 wt% Au material, which achieves maximum photodecoloration of malachite green dye at 93%.

Abstract
Here we report the optimization of the fabrication conditions for AuNi bimetallic catalysts supported on self-ordered titania nanotube arrays (AuNi-TiO2ntb). A series of efficient AuNi-TiO2ntb catalysts with small amounts of Au in the range of 1.74 to 15.7 μgAu·cm−2 have been fabricated by anodization, electroless Ni plating, and galvanic displacement techniques. The electrocatalytic activity of the catalysts has been evaluated for BH4− ion oxidation in an alkaline medium using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The performance of a NaBH4-H2O2 fuel cell with Ni-TiO2ntb and AuNi-TiO2ntb anode catalysts has been investigated at different temperatures. It was found that the electrocatalytic activity of AuNi-TiO2ntbs catalysts was improved remarkably when the Ni layer of 100 and 400 nm was used for the deposition of Au crystallites. The Ni-TiO2ntb catalyst generates the maximum power density values of ca. 85–121 mW·cm−2 at a temperature of 25–55 °C, whereas the AuNi-TiO2ntb catalysts that have the Au loading of 3.07 and 15.7 μgAu·cm−2 achieve the power density values of ca. 104–147 and 119–170 mW·cm−2, respectively, at a temperature of 25–55 °C.

One-Pot Synthesis of Long Rutile TiO 2 Nanorods and Their Photocatalytic Activity for O 2 Evolution: Comparison with Near-Spherical Nanoparticles. ACS OMEGA 2021; 6:31557-31565.

Abstract
Rutile TiO2 nanorods with lengths greater than 600 nm and aspect ratios greater than ca. 16 were synthesized through a one-pot hydrothermal method using lactic acid (LA) as a structure-directing agent. Under the hydrothermal treatment at 200 °C, the LA concentration higher than 1.6 mol dm-3 and the hydrothermal time of 72 h were needed to obtain 100% rutile nanorods. The length and the width of the nanorods increased with the increasing LA concentration. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized nanorods was evaluated for the oxygen evolution in aqueous AgNO3 solutions under ultraviolet irradiation. Calcination of the synthesized nanorods at 400 °C was required to decompose residual organic compounds on the surface and improve the oxygen evolution. The highest oxygen evolution rate was obtained with the nanorods after being calcined at 800 °C. It is worth noting that the nanorods retained their shape (aspect ratio of 8.8) at 800 °C. Selected area electron diffraction patterns indicated that the side or the end surface of the nanorods was attributable to the {110} or {111} facet, respectively. Deposition of Pt or PbO2 on the nanorods revealed that the {110} or {111} facet acted as reductive or oxidative sites. For comparison, near-spherical TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by a sol-gel method. Furthermore, using glycolic acid as the structure-directing agent, we synthesized small rutile TiO2 nanorods (aspect ratio of 9) and changed the shape to near-spherical (aspect ratio of 1.3) by calcining at 800 °C. Time-resolved diffuse reflectance spectra were measured to determine the lifetime of the photogenerated electrons. The photocatalytic activity of the nanorods was much lower than that of the near-spherical TiO2 nanoparticles. However, the nanorods synthesized with LA are useful as catalyst support or platforms for various applications because of their unique morphology and high heat resistance.

Abstract
Herein, we report a systematic experimental and theoretical study about a wide-ranged band gap tuning of protonated titanate nanotubes H2Ti3O7 (Ti-NT) by an easy ion-exchange method using a low concentration (1 wt%) of transition metal cations. To characterize and describe the effect of M doping (M = Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+, and Fe3+) on the electronic, optical and structural properties, semiconductors were analyzed by a combination of experimental methods and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The nanotube band gap can be modified from 1.5 to 3.3 eV, which opens the possibility to use them in several optoelectronic applications such as photocatalysts under solar light irradiation.

Abstract
In this work, Au/GdPO4-rods were found to be good catalysts for CO oxidation with a low content of Au. The dopant of CePO4 could influence the activity of Au/GdPO4 due to the synergistic effect. GdPO4 and CePO4 nanorods were obtained by a hydrothermal process and the Au/GdPO4-rod and Au/Ce-GdPO4-rod catalysts were prepared by deposition–precipitation synthesis. The samples were extensively characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), temperature programmed desorption (O2-TPD, CO-TPD, and CO2-TPD) and N2 adsorption–desorption. The results showed that Au/GdPO4 with a low Au content possessed good activity for CO oxidation. When the content of Ce is 25 at%, 0.5% Au/Ce-GdPO4-rods can convert CO completely at 65 °C, and the catalyst showed better high-temperature resistance than 0.5% Au/GdPO4-rods. 0.5% Au/Ce-GdPO4-rods also showed good stability at reaction temperatures of 55 and 65 °C with CO conversions of 90% and 100% after continuous operation for 12 h. They also showed no deactivation after 50 h at a relative high reaction temperature of 200 °C. A CePO4–GdPO4 composite was prepared by a general ultrasound method and could be a good support for gold nanocatalysts. Au/CePO4–GdPO4 catalysts with a low content of gold showed good catalytic activity, high temperature resistance and stability for CO oxidation.![]()

Abstract
A new, convenient, and efficient precursor transformation route for the synthesis of supported Au nanocatalysts was reported. In this strategy, [Au(en)2]3+-riched titanate nanospheres (en: ethylenediamine) with hierarchical flower-like architecture were pre-synthesized via “ammonia etching-ion exchange” processes and then used as the precursors of the objective catalysts. Direct pyrolysis of these precursors, varying in amount of [Au(en)2]3+, led to the formation of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) with different contents uniformly supported on highly crystalline titania nanoflowers (fTiO2). The fTiO2-supported AuNPs nanocomposites possessed highly open porous structures with large surface areas (142.3–149.3 m2 g−1), which could allow guest molecules to diffuse in and out easily. More interestingly, the formed AuNPs with small size (∼3.8 nm) were well-dispersed and partially embedded into the nanosheets of fTiO2, which was beneficial for achieving high activity while avoiding their detachment from the support during application. Accordingly, the AuNPs/TiO2 catalysts exhibited superior catalytic properties for 4-nitrophenol hydrogenation with significantly higher catalytic efficiencies than many previously reported heterogeneous catalysts. Moreover, the catalytic activity could remain almost unchanged after being recycled several times, demonstrating their high stability. These findings open up a new possibility for rational design and synthesis of supported catalysts for diverse catalytic applications. Synthesis of well-dispersed, stable, and highly accessible supported Au nanocatalysts was achieved via a new and efficient precursor transformation route.![]()

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have attracted widespread attention for their excellent catalytic activity, as well as their unusual physical and chemical properties. The main challenges come from the agglomeration and time-consuming separation of gold nanoparticles, which have greatly baffled the development and application in liquid phase selective reduction. To solve these problems, we propose the preparation of polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)/poly(acrylic acid)(PAA)/Fe₃O₄ nanocomposites with loaded AuNPs. The obtained PVA/PAA/Fe₃O₄ composite membrane by electrospinning demonstrated high structural stability, a large specific surface area, and more active sites, which is conducive to promoting good dispersion of AuNPs on membrane surfaces. The subsequently prepared PVA/PAA/Fe₃O₄@AuNPs nanocomposites exhibited satisfactory nanostructures, robust thermal stability, and a favorable magnetic response for recycling. In addition, the PVA/PAA/Fe₃O₄@AuNPs nanocomposites showed a remarkable catalytic capacity in the catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol and 2-nitroaniline solutions. In addition, the regeneration studies toward p-nitrophenol for different consecutive cycles demonstrate that the as-prepared PVA/PAA/Fe₃O₄@AuNPs nanocomposites have outstanding stability and recycling in catalytic reduction.

Abstract
Different polymorphs of Nb2O5 can be obtained depending on the pressure and temperature of calcination leading to different catalytic properties. Two polymorphs of niobia, T-Nb2O5 and B-Nb2O5, have been investigated by means of density functional/plane waves method. The equation of state predicted that B-Nb2O5 phase is more stable than the T-Nb2O5 at low temperature; however at high pressure both phases are stable. These results are in good agreement with the available experimental data. The calculated cohesive energies of 6.63 and 6.59 eV·atom-1 for the B-Nb2O5 and T-Nb2O5, respectively, also corroborate this conclusion, and it can be compared to the experimental value of 9.56 eV atom-1 estimated for the most thermodynamically stable phase. The topological analyses based on quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and electron localization function (ELF) were applied and reveal bonds with large ionic character for both phases. The B-Nb2O5 presented larger stiffness than T-Nb2O5, and the oxygen sites in the T-Nb2O5 are more compressible. The density of states comparison for both structures indicates that B-Nb2O5 has lower concentration of acid sites compared to T-Nb2O5. This result is consistent with the experimental observations that the concentration of Lewis acid sites decreases with the temperature.
