Two percent Cu-doped TiO(2) nanoparticles were prepared by a modified ammonia-evaporation-induced synthetic method, calcined at 450°C, and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, ESR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectrum, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Doping shifts the optical absorption edge to the visible region but increases the charge-transfer resistance and decreases the capacitance. Under visible light, the composite nanoparticles very efficiently catalyze the disinfection of Escherichia coli. The prepared oxide is selective in photocatalysis; under UV light, its photocatalytic activity to degrade sunset yellow, rhodamine B, and methylene blue dyes is less than that of the undoped one.

Poor wear- and corrosion-resistance of 316L SS implants are critical problems in orthopedic implants. This study aims to improve the wear- and corrosion-resistance of 316L SS through surface coating. In this study, a bilayer composite coating consisting of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) as the first layer, and titania (TiO)- and Cu-doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (Cu-MBGNs) were deposited as the second layer on a 316L SS electrophoretic deposition (EPD).

Light-printable rewritable paper that can be used multiple times has attracted extensive attention because of its potential benefits in reducing environmental pollution and energy consumption. Developing rewritable paper with high black-to-colorless contrast, lasting legibility, and a fast response is fascinating but challenging. Here, we integrate the redox chemistry of Cu ions into photoreductive TiO nanoparticles to produce Cu-doped TiO nanoparticles capable of highly photoreversible switching between colorless and black with excellent contrast and color stability.

The selective photoreduction of nitrate to nontoxic nitrogen gas has emerged as an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly route for nitrate removal. However, the coexisting high-concentration chloride ions in wastewater can exert a significant influence on nitrate reduction due to the competitive adsorption and corrosion of Cl on photocatalysts. Herein, we prepared ethylene glycol-Cu/TiO (EG-Cu/TiO) through a solvothermal reaction of Cu-doped TiO in an EG solution.

Crystal facet engineering has emerged as a promising approach to enhance photocatalytic activity of semiconductors by preferentially accumulating charge carriers (electrons and holes) on specific facets. This facilitates efficient electron and hole transfer across the semiconductor/cocatalyst interface, enabling their transport to the cocatalyst surface for redox reactions. In this study, three Cu-doped TiO nanorods with small, medium, and large ratios of reductive {110} to oxidative {111} facets were synthesized (namely Cu-TiO-SR, Cu-TiO-MR, and Cu-TiO-LR, respectively).
