Developing sulfur-doped titanium oxide nanoparticles loaded chitosan/cellulose-based proangiogenic dressings for chronic ulcer and burn wounds healing. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2021; 110:1069-1081. [PMID: 34843162 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.b.34981] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2021] [Revised: 09/01/2021] [Accepted: 09/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Development of biomaterials supporting angiogenesis are highly desired in medical applications. In current work, chitosan and cellulose were cross-linked by using triethyl orthoformate and loaded with sulfur-doped titanium oxide nanoparticles. A readily available and inexpensive titanium oxide was added as a potential proangiogenic agent based on our group findings and other reports on metal oxide nanoparticles activity to stimulate angiogenesis. A simple freeze gelation method led to the development of flexible, foldable, and porous membranes. To investigate the chemical characteristics of the synthesized membranes, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy was used. Scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis was employed for surface morphological investigations. The cross-linked membranes showed higher degree of swelling capacity compared to the same material with titania-loaded nanoparticles in vitro. The synthesized materials showed higher degree of degradation in H2 O2 as compared to phosphate-buffered saline and lysozyme. Chorioallantoic membrane assay was done to investigate the angiogenic potential. Titanium oxide nanoparticles loaded membranes (CLHTS-5 wt%) exhibited the best degree of angiogenesis in comparison to the other tested materials. In CLHTS-5 wt% experimental group, a good level of attachment and ingrowth of several blood vessels was observed. Interestingly, the same tested group (CLHTS-5 wt%) had shown the increasing trend of cellular metabolic rate of the seeded cells from Day 0 to Day 7 in vitro. These findings were further confirmed by the decline in lactate dehydrogenase enzyme release which was monitored until 72 h, indicating the promising ability of this biomaterial in wound healing applications.

Abstract
Promoting the generation of intermediate active species (superoxide radical (•O2-)) is an important and challenging task for water purification by photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) oxidation. Herein, we have constructed hierarchical cationic sulfur-doped Co3O4 architectures with controllable morphology and highly exposed reactive facets by introducing l-cysteine as a capping reagent and sulfur resource via a one-step hydrothermal reaction. The as-obtained cationic sulfur (1.8 mmol l-cysteine) source doped Co3O4 (SC-1.8) architectures with highly exposed (112) facets exhibited superior PEC activities and long-term stability (∼25,000 s) in 1.0 mol·L-1 sulfuric acid for an accelerated reactive brilliant blue KN-R degradation test. Our experimental and theoretical results confirmed that the superior PEC performance of the SC-1.8 architectures could be ascribed the following factors: (1) the highly exposed reactive (112) facets of SC-1.8 promoted carrier transport and diffusion during the PEC process and facilitated separating the electron/hole pairs and producing the predominant active species (•O2-) compared with currently used other electrodes. (2) Cationic sulfur doped on the lattice of Co3O4 can narrow the band gap to extend the photoadsorption range and improve the lifetime of •O2- to enhance the PEC efficiency. This work not only proves that the SC-1.8 architectures with highly exposed (112) facets are a promising PEC catalyst due to increasing the electron transport and the lifetime of active species but also presents a new strategy for constructing an active PEC catalyst.

Abstract
Well-tailored sulfur-doped anatase titanium dioxide nanoparticles anchored on a large-area carbon sheet are designed, where the in situ sulfur-doped titanium dioxide directly comes from titanium oxysulfate and the large-area carbon sheet is derived from glucose. When applied as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries, it exhibits an excellent electrochemical performance including a high capacity [256.4 mA h g-1 at 2 C (1 C = 335 mA h g-1) after 500 cycles] and a remarkable rate of cycling stability (100.5 mA h g-1 at 30 C after 500 cycles). These outstanding sodium storage behaviors are ascribed to the nanosized particles (about 8-12 nm), good electronic conductivity promoted by the incorporation of carbon sheet and sulfur, as well as the unique chemical bond based on the electrostatic interaction.

Abstract
This paper aims to examine the influence of various catalysts on biodiesel production, especially from non-food feedstocks with an ambition to optimize the catalytic biodiesel production. Homogenous acid catalysts are mainly used in biodiesel production, but they cannot be recovered and demand costly fuel purification as being corrosive. Similarly, enzyme catalysts are expensive in industrial-scale production of biodiesel. However, heterogeneous catalysts simplify the easy separation of product and by-products from the catalyst along with catalyst reusability and reduction of waste. Solid acid and base catalysts offer more advantages due to their non-toxicity, high surface area, reusability, higher stability, and the simplicity of purification. Solid base catalysts yield better activity than solid acid catalysts, however, they cannot esterify large amounts of free fatty acids (FFAs) in non-food feedstocks. The solid acid catalysts have the added advantages of being more tolerant to high amounts of FFAs and being able to simultaneously esterify FFAs and transesterify triglycerides in cheap feedstocks like waste cooking oil. Recently, an array of inorganic, organic and polymeric solid acid and nanomaterial-based catalysts have been developed using cheap feedstocks. However, the issues of low reactivity, small pore sizes, low stabilities, long reaction times, and high reaction temperatures still need to be solved. The developments of producing efficient, cheap, durable, and stable solid acid and nanomaterial-based catalysts have been critically reviewed in this study. Furthermore, the challenges and future perspectives of production of biodiesel and its industry growth have also been discussed.

Abstract
The present study investigates the influence of calcination temperature on the properties and photoactivity of multi-element doped TiO2. The photocatalysts were prepared by incorporating silver (Ag), fluorine (F), nitrogen (N), and tungsten (W) into the TiO2 structure via the sol-gel method. Spectroscopic techniques were used to elucidate the correlation between the structural and optical properties of the doped photocatalyst and its photoactivity. XRD results showed that the mean crystallite size increased for undoped photocatalysts and decreased for the doped photocatalysts when calcination was done at higher temperatures. UV-Vis spectra showed that the absorption cut-off wavelength shifted towards the visible light region for the as-synthesized photocatalysts and band gap narrowing was attributed to multi-element doping and calcination. FTIR spectra results showed the shifting of OH-bending absorption bands towards increasing wave numbers. The activity of the photocatalysts was evaluated in terms of gaseous formaldehyde removal under visible light irradiation. The highest photocatalytic removal of gaseous formaldehyde was found at 88%. The study confirms the effectiveness of multi-element doped TiO2 to remove gaseous formaldehyde in air by visible light photocatalysis and the results have a lot of potential to extend the application to other organic air contaminants.

Abstract
This study developed a modified titanium dioxide photocatalyst doped with multi-element synthesized via sol-gel process to productize a novel photocatalyst. The study includes degradation of gaseous formaldehyde under visible light using the synthesized novel titanium dioxide photocatalyst. Varying molar ratios from 0 to 2 percent (%mole in titanium dioxide) of ammonium fluoride, silver nitrate and sodium tungstate as dopant precursors for nitrogen, fluorine, silver and tungsten were used. Photodegradation of gaseous formaldehyde was examined on glass tubular reactors illuminated with blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) using immobilized photocatalyst. The photocatalytic yield is analyzed based on the photocatalyst surface chemical properties via X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrophotometry, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) characterization results. The applied modifications enhanced the visible light capability of the catalyst in comparison to the undoped catalyst and commercially available Degussa P-25, such that it photocatalytically degrades 88.1% of formaldehyde in 120 min. Synthesized titanium dioxide photocatalyst exhibits a unique spin orbital at 532.07 eV and 533.27 eV that came from the hybridization of unoccupied Ti d(t2g) levels.

Abstract
Mesocrystals (basically nanostructures showing alignment of nanocrystals well beyond crystal size) are attracting considerable attention for modeling and optimization of functionalities. However, for surface-driven applications (heterogeneous catalysis), only those mesocrystals with excellent textural properties are expected to fulfill their potential. This is especially true for oxidative desulfuration of dibenzothiophenes (hard to desulfurize organosulfur compounds found in fossil fuels). Here, we probe the catalytic activity of anatases for the oxidative desulfuration of dibenzothiophenes under atmospheric pressure and mild temperatures. Specifically, for this study, we have taken advantage of the high stability of the (101) anatase surface to obtain a variety of uniform colloidal mesocrystals (approximately 50 nm) with adequate orientational order and good textural properties (pores around 3-4 nm and surface areas around 200 m2/g). Ultimately, this stability has allowed us to compare the catalytic activity of anatases that expose a high number of aligned single crystal-like surfaces while differing in controllable surface characteristics. Thus, we have established that the type of tetrahedral coordination observed in these anatase mesocrystals is not essential for oxidative desulfuration and that both elimination of sulfates and good textural properties significantly improve the catalytic activity. Furthermore, the most active mesocrystals have been used to model the catalytic reaction in three-(oil-solvent-catalyst) and two-phase (solvent-catalyst) systems. Thus, we have been able to observe that the transfer of DBT from the oil to the solvent phase partially limits the oxidative process and to estimate an apparent activation energy for the oxidative desulfuration reaction of approximately 40 kJ/mol in the two-phase system to avoid mass transfer limitations. Our results clearly establish that (101) anatase mesocrystals with excellent textural properties show adequate stability to withstand several post-treatments without losing their initial mesocrystalline character and therefore could serve as models for catalytic processes different from the one studied here.

Abstract
The composite formation with a conductive metal sulfide domain can provide an effective methodology to improve the Na-ion electrode functionality of metal oxide. The heat treatment of TiO2(B) under CS2 flow yields an intimately coupled TiO2(B)-TiS2 nanocomposite with intervened TiS2 domain, since the reaction between metal oxide and CS2 leads to the formation of metal sulfide and CO2. The negligible change in lattice parameters and significant enhancement of visible light absorption upon the reaction with CS2 underscore the formation of conductive metal sulfide domains. The resulting TiO2(B)-TiS2 nanocomposites deliver greater discharge capacities with better rate characteristics for electrochemical sodiation-desodiation process than does the pristine TiO2(B). The 23Na magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance analysis clearly demonstrates that the electrode activities of the present nanocomposites rely on the capacitive storage of Na+ ions, and the TiS2 domains in TiO2(B)-TiS2 nanocomposites play a role as mediators for Na+ ions to and from TiO2(B) domains. According to the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the reaction with CS2 leads to the significant enhancement of charge transfer kinetics, which is responsible for the accompanying improvement in electrode performance. The present study provides clear evidence for the usefulness in composite formation between the semiconducting metal oxide and metal sulfide in exploring new efficient NIB electrode materials.
