Abstract
TiO2 nanotube (TNT) layers are generally prepared in fluoride-based electrolytes via electrochemical anodization that relies on the field-assisted dissolution of Ti metal forming nanoporous/nanotubular structures. However, the usage of fluoride ions is considered hazardous to the environment. Therefore, we present an environmentally friendly synthesis and application of TNT layers prepared in fluoride-free nitrate-based electrolytes. A well-defined nanotubular structure with thickness up to 1.5 μm and an inner tube diameter of ∼55 nm was obtained within 5 min using aqueous X(NO3)Y electrolytes (X = Na+, K+, Sr2+, Ag+). For the first time, we show the photocatalytic performance (using a model organic pollutant), HO˙ radical production, and thorough characterization of TNT layers prepared in such electrolytes. The highest degradation efficiency (k = 0.0113 min-1) and HO˙ radical production rate were obtained using TNT layers prepared in AgNO3 (Ag-NT). The intrinsic properties of Ag-NT such as the valence band maximum of ∼2.9 eV, surface roughness of ∼6 nm, and suitable morphological features and crystal structure were obtained. These results have the potential to pave the way for a more environmentally friendly synthesis of anodic TNT layers in the future using the next generation of fluoride-free nitrate-based electrolytes.

Nanohollow Titanium Oxide Structures on Ti/FTO Glass Formed by Step-Bias Anodic Oxidation for Photoelectrochemical Enhancement. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12111925. [PMID: 35683780 PMCID: PMC9182085 DOI: 10.3390/nano12111925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Revised: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/02/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a new anodic oxidation with a step-bias increment is proposed to evaluate oxidized titanium (Ti) nanostructures on transparent fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) on glass. The optimal Ti thickness was determined to be 130 nm. Compared to the use of a conventional constant bias of 25 V, a bias ranging from 5 V to 20 V with a step size of 5 V for 3 min per period can be used to prepare a titanium oxide (TiOx) layer with nanohollows that shows a large increase in current of 142% under UV illumination provided by a 365 nm LED at a power of 83 mW. Based on AFM and SEM, the TiOx grains formed in the step-bias anodic oxidation were found to lead to nanohollow generation. Results obtained from EDS mapping, HR-TEM and XPS all verified the TiOx composition and supported nanohollow formation. The nanohollows formed in a thin TiOx layer can lead to a high surface roughness and photon absorbance for photocurrent generation. With this step-bias anodic oxidation methodology, TiOx with nanohollows can be obtained easily without any extra cost for realizing a high current under photoelectrochemical measurements that shows potential for electrochemical-based sensing applications.

Abstract
A synthetic technique based on a two-step sol-gel hydrothermal method using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and triblock copolymer PEO106-PPO70-PEO106 (F127) as double surfactants with the assistance of three amines (ethylamine (EA), diethylamine (DEA), and triethylamine (TEA)) for fabrications of anatase titania nanorods is proposed. The formation and growth mechanisms of TiO2 crystals are described. We discovered that crystal size reduces with an increase in the number of alkyl substituents on the nitrogen of amines because the steric hindrance of the bulky alkyl substituent around nitrogen suppresses the nucleation and crystal growth rate. The size of titania from 80 to 220 nm is modulated with concentrations of EA, DEA, and TEA. The amines are considered as catalysts for morphological evolution of TiO2 crystals. The results indicate that the incorporation of double surfactants (F127-CTAB) has a dual role, acting as a chelating agent for titania against external forces and a capping agent inhibiting the three-dimensional growth of TiO2 crystals.

Abstract
AbstractPhoto-generated high-energy surface states can help to produce chlorine in aqueous environments. Here, aligned rutile (TiO2) nanocrystal arrays are grown onto fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates and activated either by hydrothermal Sr/Ba surface doping and/or by vacuum-annealing. With vacuum-annealing, highly photoactive films are obtained with photocurrents of typically 8 mA cm−2 at 1.0 V vs. SCE in 1 M KCl (LED illumination with λ = 385 nm and approx. 100 mW cm−2). Photoelectrochemical chlorine production is demonstrated at proof-of-concept scale in 4 M NaCl and suggested to be linked mainly to the production of Ti(III) surface species by vacuum-annealing, as detected by post-catalysis XPS, rather than to Sr/Ba doping at the rutile surface. The vacuum-annealing treatment is proposed to beneficially affect (i) bulk semiconductor TiO2 nanocrystal properties and electron harvesting, (ii) surface TiO2 reactivity towards chloride adsorption and oxidation, and (iii) FTO substrate performance.

Abstract
Fabrication of uniform vertically-aligned titanium dioxide nanorods (TiO2 NRs) was achieved by hydrothermal growth on a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrate. The substrate was coated by a TiO2 seed layer composed of titanium (IV) butoxide (TBO) as a precursor in an HCl solution. To reduce the amount of toxic substances used in this work, a minimal amount of HCl was used. On a larger scale, this method would require less precursor and therefore be a cost-savings. The aim of the present work is to achieve high crystalline orientations of TiO2 NRs for low quantities of both TBO precursor and HCl solutions. Results showed that the 0.7% TBO TiO2 NRs after 1.5 h of hydrothermal treatment exhibited the optimal crystalline orientation along [001] while the (002) plane is the dominant facet. The results demonstrate high transmittance of visible light and well-formed crystalline structures that offer a fast electron pathway along the length of the TiO2 NRs with less grain boundaries. Lastly, TiO2 NRs and their growth mechanism are discussed. This work offers a promising hydrothermal method for growing well-aligned TiO2 single-crystal NRs that can be employed in solar cell applications.

Abstract
Environmental and energy problems have drawn much attention owing to rapid population growth and accelerated economic development. For instance, photocatalysis, "a green technology", plays an important role in solar-energy conversion owing to its potential to solve energy and environmental problems. Recently, many efforts have been devoted to improving visible-light photocatalytic activity by using titanium dioxide as a photocatalyst as a result of its wide range of applications in the energy and environment fields. However, fast charge recombination and an absorption edge in the UV range limit the photocatalytic efficiency of TiO2 under visible-light irradiation. Many investigations have been undertaken to overcome the limitations of TiO2 and, therefore, to enhance its photocatalytic activity under visible light. The present literature review focuses on different strategies used to promote the separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs and to shift the absorption edge of TiO2 to the visible region. Current synthesis techniques used to elaborate several nanostructures of TiO2 -based materials, recent progress in enhancing visible photocatalytic activity, and different photocatalysis applications will be discussed. On the basis of the studies reported in the literature, we believe that this review will help in the development of new strategies to improve the visible-light photocatalytic performance of TiO2 -based materials further.
