Magnetic microspheres measuring 15-35 µm in diameter are believed to be useful for intra-arterial hyperthermia. In this study, we attempted to prepare titanium dioxide (TiO ) microspheres containing magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). MNP-containing TiO microspheres with diameters of approximately 30 µm were successfully obtained by sol-gel reaction of titanium tetraisopropoxide in a water-in-oil emulsion with added cosurfactant of 1-butanol and subsequent heat treatment at 200°C. The microspheres showed ferrimagnetism owing to high content of MNPs in approximately 60 wt % and had a low-crystalline TiO matrix. Furthermore, the agar phantom was heated to above 43°C after approximately 1 min under an alternating magnetic field of 100 kHz and 300 Oe and showed in vitro biocompatibility similar to that of MNP-free TiO microspheres. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

To enhance the volumetric energy density and initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) of titanium oxide (TiO) as anode electrode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIB), this study employed a surface-confined in-situ inter-growth mechanism to prepare a TiO embedded carbon microsphere composite. The results revealed that the composite exhibited a highly integrated structure of TiO with oxygen vacancies and carbon, along with an exceptionally small specific surface area of 11.52 m/g.

Cocoa pod production has experienced a significant decline due to attacks by the () fungus, which is the main cause of cocoa pod rot. To overcome this problem, Titanium dioxide (TiO) was chosen because of its potential as an antifungal, and its activity can be increased by adding silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). This research aims to determine the antifungal properties of TiO-Ag nanosuspension on the growth of under exposure to UV, Visible and without irradiation.

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.

Synthetic Janus micro/nanomotors can efficiently convert ambient energy into asymmetrical self-propulsive force, overcoming random thermal fluctuations and enabling autonomous migration. Further modifications to the motors can equip them with different functional modules to meet different needs. However, developing a versatile and high-yield fabrication method for multifunctional Janus micromotors remains challenging.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are highly harmful to human beings and other organisms, and thus the elimination of VOCs is extremely urgent. Here, La-Si co-doped TiO microsphere photocatalysts, which were prepared by a hydrothermal method, exhibited high photocatalytic activity in the decomposition of formaldehyde compared with TiO. The improved activity can be attributed to the promoted separation efficiency and density of the charge carriers, as verified by the electrochemical results in combination with density functional theory calculations.
