Aim Of The Study: Evaluation of the influence of the introduced structure modification in porous ceramic grafts on TiO2 base on overgrowing with bone tissue, in examinations with use of scanning microscopy and X-rays was the subject of the examinations.
Material And Method: New ceramic materials based on TiO2 with high values of mechanical resistance, large sintering degree and biocompatibility in in vitro conditions were prepared. Those properties cause that they are worth interest as potential osteosubstitutive materials. Two kinds of grafts were created from ceramics based on TiO2: with compact and porous structure. The introduced structure modification - macroporosity - had the purpose to give osteoconductive properties to the grafts, to evoke processes favorable for bone tissue forming. In examinations of the local reaction of bone tissue after implantation of the formed porous grafts, degree of their osteointegration, the essential issue is the evaluation of the settling of the inner spaces with supporting tissues. Samples of the tested compact and porous materials in the form of cylinders were implanted in femoral bones of rabbits for a period till 6 months. The surfaces of grafts and the degree of their settling with supporting tissues were evaluated in cross-sections of the implants with light and scanning microscopic methods and they were confirmed in X-ray tests.
Results: Analysis of the obtained data showed that, the surface of solid ceramic on TiO2 base was covered mainly with increasing with a time of observation quantities of extracellular substance and lamellas of bone. The macrporous structure of porous ceramic on TiO2 base enabled settling of the inner spaces of graft with supporting tissue cells, partly in the 1st month, more intensively in the 3rd and it was not completed in the 6th month after implantation.
Conclusions: Porous grafts in the form of ceramic foam on TiO2 base showed osteoconductive properties, though process of colonization after 6th month observation was not completed and the condition of the cells inside of the implant was reduced.

The catalyst-electrolyte interface plays a crucial role in proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). However, optimizing the interfacial hydrogen bonding to enhance both catalytic activity and stability remains a significant challenge. Here, a novel catalyst design strategy is proposed based on the hard-soft acid-base principle, employing hard Lewis acids (LAs = ZrO, TiO, HfO) to mediate the reconfiguration of interfacial hydrogen bonding, thereby enhancing the acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of RuO.

Catalytic CO desorption has emerged as a crucial strategy for enhancing the efficiency of CO capture and reducing energy requirements, thereby advancing chemical absorption methods. This study examines the catalytic effectiveness of titanium pyrophosphate (TiPO) in improving monoethanolamine (MEA)-based CO absorption and desorption processes, comparing its performance with other titanium-based catalysts, including titanium dioxide (TiO), titanium tetrahydroxide (TiO(OH)), and titanium carbide (TiC). In TiPO, Ti ions function as Lewis acid sites by accepting electron pairs (LASs), PO anions act as proton carriers, facilitating rapid proton transfer as Lewis base sites (LBSs), and active hydroxyl groups on the surface, resulting from water molecule dissociation or the deprotonation reaction, function as Brönsted acid sites (BASs).

Building heterojunctions and exposing more catalytic active sites are effective strategies to enhance the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity. Herein, TiO nanosheets are oxidized in situ on Ru-loaded MXene as carriers and subsequently loaded with uniform 2D CdS via hydrothermal method to obtain 2D Ru/TiC-TiO/CdS composite photocatalysts that integrate heterojunctions and cocatalysts. The formation of heterojunction between CdS and TiO is conducive to promoting the separation and transfer of photogenerated charges, simultaneously, Ru/TiC with the fully exposed Ru and TiC can act as effective active sites of photocatalytic hydrogen production reaction.
