TiO(2) film deposited on glassy carbon electrode surface was prepared via the liquid phase deposition (LPD). The deposited TiO(2) film before and after calcination was characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Based on the high photoelectrochemical activity of calcined LPD TiO(2) film, the photoelectrocatalytic degradation of benzotriazole (BTA) was investigated. Compared with the electrochemical oxidation process, direct photolysis or photocatalysis for treatment of BTA, a synergetic photoelectrocatalytic degradation effect was observed using the LPD TiO(2) film-coated electrode. Various factors influencing the photoelectrocatalytic degradation of BTA such as film calcination, applied bias potential, pH value, supporting electrolyte concentration and initial concentration of BTA were investigated. The COD removal for BTA solution was analyzed to evaluate the mineralization of the PEC process. Based on the degradation experimental results, a possible photoelectrocatalytic degradation mechanism for BTA was proposed.

Flexible sweat sensors play a crucial role in health monitoring and disease prevention by enabling real-time, non-invasive assessment of human physiological conditions. Sweat contains a variety of biomarkers, offering valuable insights into an individual's health status. In this study, we developed an advanced flexible electrochemical sensor featuring reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based electrodes, modified with a composite material comprising nitrogen and sulfur co-doped holey graphene (HG) and MXene, with in-situ-grown TiO nanoparticles on the MXene.

Carbon fiber (CF) has been widely used in aerospace, military, infrastructure, sports, and leisure fields owing to its excellent mechanical properties, superior corrosion and friction resistances, excellent thermal stability, and lightweight. However, the ultrablack appearance derived from the extremely strong absorption of light throughout the entire visible region makes it difficult to satisfy the aesthetic and pleasurable demands of the colorful world and limits their applications in a broader field. Herein, inspired by the , a double-layer ultrathin AlO/TiO composite structure was fabricated on CFs by the atomic layer deposition method.

Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) hydrogen sensors offer advantages, such as high sensitivity and fast response, but their challenges remain in achieving low-cost fabrication and stable operation at room temperature. This study investigates Nb-doped TiO (NTO) thin films prepared via a one-step micro-arc oxidation (MAO) with the addition of NbO nanoparticles into the electrolyte for room-temperature hydrogen sensing. The characterization results revealed that the incorporation of NbO altered the film's morphology and phase composition, increasing the Nb content and forming a homogeneous composite thin film.

Present work describes a sol-gel assisted one-pot synthesis of mesoporous Fe₂O₃-TiO₂ nanocomposites (TiFe) with different Ti : Fe ratios, and fabrication of Ag-integrated with TiFe nanocomposites (TiFeAg) by a chemical reduction method and demonstrated for high solar H generation activity in direct sunlight. Enhanced solar H production is attributed to the light absorption from entire UV+Visible region of solar spectrum combined with Schottky (Ag-semiconductor) and heterojunctions (TiO-FeO), as evidenced from HRTEM and various characterization studies. TiFeAg-2 thin film (1 wt % Ag-loaded TiFe-4) displayed the highest activity with a solar H yield of 7.
