This work is the first to describe a bioimaging method that uses highly uniformly sized TiO(2) submicrometer and micrometer spheres based on Mie scattering. Transmembrane proteins (HER2) located on the surface of cancer cells were detected by bonded antibody-linked TiO(2) spheres using optic microscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy. A particular HER2 bond on cancer cells, which has a weaker binding affinity than the biotin/avidin interaction, can be identified between TiO(2) spheres that are linked to anti-HER2 antibodies and those that are linked to nonspecific mouse IgG antibodies by observing the cells under an optical microscope or by measuring absorbance from a UV-vis spectrum. The TiO(2) spheres used in this work was prepared by reacting TTIP with carboxylic acid, as described elsewhere and the uniformity of the TiO(2) sphere was further improved by adjusting the amount of water used. The water content was inversely related to particle size and the size distribution: as more water was used, smaller spheres with a narrower size distribution were obtained. The most uniform sphere obtained had a diameter of about 1 microm with a size variation of 3%.

Photocatalytically reducing CO into high-value-added chemical materials has surfaced as a viable strategy for harnessing solar energy and mitigating the greenhouse effect. But the inadequate separation of the photogenerated electron-hole pair remains a major obstacle to CO photoreduction. Constructing heterostructure photocatalysts with efficient interface charge transfer is a promising approach to solving the above problems.

Interfacial charge-carrier complexation is a bottleneck problem governing the gating effect of organic photoelectrochemical transistor (OPECT) biosensors. Therefore, it has long been desired to enhance the OPECT gating effect and realize the maximum transconductance at zero bias. In this study, an in situ engineered heterojunction gating and nano-enzymatic catalytic integration of OPECT-colorimetric dual-mode sensing platform is developed for dibutyl phthalate detection.

Although Mg-Li dual metal-ion batteries are proposed as a superior system that unite safety of Mg-batteries and performance of Li-ion based systems, its practical implantation is limited due to the lack of reliable high-performance cathodes. Herein, we report a high-performance Mg-Li dual metal-ion battery system based on highly pseudocapacitive hierarchical TiO-B nanosheet assembled spheres (NS) cathode. This 2D cathode displayed exceptional pseudocapacitance (a maximum of 93%) specific capacity (303 mAh gat 25 mA g), rate performance (210 mAh gat 1 A g), consistent cycling (retain ∼100% capacity for 3000 cycles at 1 A g), Coulombic efficiency (nearly 100%) and fast-charging (∼12.

Fabricating photoanodes with a strong light-scattering effect can improve the photoconversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this work, a facile microwave hydrothermal process was developed to prepare Au@TiO core-shell nanostructures, and then the Au core was removed by etching, resulting in hollow TiO. Morphological characterizations such as field emission scanning and transmission electron microscopy measurements have been used for the successful formation of core-shell and hollow TiO nanostructures.

The direct electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia is an efficient and environmentally friendly technology, however, developing electrocatalysts with high activity and selectivity remains a great challenge. Single-atom catalysts demonstrate unique properties and exceptional performance across a range of catalytic reactions, especially those that encompass multi-step processes. Herein, a straightforward and cost-effective approach is introduced for synthesizing single-atom dispersed Rh on porous TiO spheres (Rh-TiO), which functions as an efficient electrocatalyst for the electroreduction of NO to NH.
