Polyethersulfone Blended with Titanium Dioxide Nanoribbons/Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes for Strontium Removal from Water.

Nanofiltration methods were used and evaluated for strontium removal from wastewater. The phase inversion method was used to create a variety of polyethersulfone (PES)/TiO nanoribbons (TNRs)-multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) membranes with varied ratios of TNR-MWCNT nanocomposite. The hydrothermal technique was applied to synthesize the nanocomposite (TNRs-MWCNTs), which was then followed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

Enhanced photoelectrochemical water splitting activity of carbon nanotubes@TiO nanoribbons in different electrolytes.

Hydrogen production from water splitting by a photocatalytic process is one way that can be used to solve global problems related to energy depletion and environmental pollution. This work aims to design and characterize a novel photocatalyst nanohybrid carbon nanotubes@TiO nanoribbons (CNTs@TNRs) for enhanced photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting in different electrolytes under visible light irradiance. Here, hydrothermal and chemical vapor deposition (HT-CVD) were combined to grow CNTs @ the nanopits of TNRs producing network of nanohybrid CNTs@TNRs.

TiO Nanoribbons/Carbon Nanotubes Composite with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity; Fabrication, Characterization, and Application.

TiO nanoribbons (TiO NRs) loaded with FeCo-AlO catalyst were synthesized and used as a precursor in the synthesis of TiO nanoribbons/carbon nanotubes (TiO NRs/CNTs) composite by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. TiO NRs and TiO NRs/CNTs composite were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TEM, SEM, EDX and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results revealed the formation of TiO-B and hydrogen titanate nanoribbon like structures by the hydrothermal treatment.
