Titanate nanotubes were synthesized by hydrothermal method using various TiO2 precursors as starting materials. The electrochemical properties were investigated by cyclic voltammetric methods. The microstructure and morphology of the synthesized powders were characterized by XRD, TEM. Titanate nanotubes composed of H2Ti2O5 x H2O with outer and inner diameter of approximately 10 nm and 6 nm, and the interlayer spacing was about 0.65 approximately 0.74 nm. Also, the titanate nanotubes showed a discharge capacity of 303 mAh/g and the highest cycle stability because of the open-end and rolled layers with suitable spacing. The relationships between morphology and electrochemical properties have been also discussed.

A strategically designed ternary nanohybrid (TNS-PDA/CNT), consisting of titanate nanosheet (TNS) and polydopamine-modified multiwalled carbon nanotube (PDA/CNT composite), was synthesized by the facile hydrothermal method and wet impregnation method for removal of U(VI) from aqueous solution and were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Raman spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). TNSs were introduced into the PDA/CNT composite, which effectively averted the agglomeration of the CNT and further exposed more adsorption sites. PDA thin layer exposing more active sites was conducive to enhance adsorption capacity and kinetic.

In this study, a titanate-polyurethane-chitosan ternary nanocomposite was prepared by physical mixing. Sodium titanate nanotubes (Na-TNTs) were prepared by the hydrothermal method, and chitosan was extracted from shrimp shell. Na-TNTs were mixed with polyurethane (PU) of different ratios by weight, and chitosan was added after optimization.

One of the most promising approaches in solving the energy crisis and reducing atmospheric CO emissions is artificial photosynthetic CO reduction. The electrochemical method for CO reduction is more appealing since it can be operated under ambient conditions, and the product selectivity strongly depends on the applied potential. Perovskites with ferroelectric properties strongly adsorb linear CO molecules.

In the presented studies it was hypothesized that the modification of a polymeric membrane with a pore former and a hybrid nanomaterial composed of titanate nanotubes with deposited Ag nanoparticles (Ag-TNTs NPs) can protect the membrane from the microbial growth, and thus enhance its resistance to biofouling. Polyethersulfone (PES) membranes were prepared by the wet phase inversion, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) were used as pore formers. The membranes were characterized in terms of morphology, topography, permeability, separation characteristics, and anti-(bio)fouling properties as well as antibacterial activity.
