Black titania prepared by metal-reduction methods is systematically studied and found the best controllable Mg-reduction method. Colored titania products from white, light blue, dark blue, to black were obtained with a crystalline/amorphous core-shell structure. The black titania shows a five times higher H production rate in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting.

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions are fundamental to energy storage and conversion processes. By coupling electrons with protons, the net charge neutrality is retained, preventing electrode decomposition due to charge imbalance. PCET reactions with equimolar amounts of protons and electrons can be considered as a net H-atom transfer (HAT) reaction.

The heterogeneous catalysis of the composite membrane not only exerts the synergistic effect of different materials but also enable the recyclable use of catalysts, making it an ideal and sustainable strategy for removing pollutants in water. In this study, a novel black phosphorus/graphene/titanium dioxide (BP/GR/TiO) membrane was successfully prepared through the sol-gel method. The composite membrane not only overcame the instability of black phosphorus and the rapid recombination of e/h pairs in titanium dioxide but also synergized with GR to produce a new reactive oxygen species (ROS), singlet oxygen (O), with a longer lifetime and migration distance.

Despite significant progress in the catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles, the persistent challenge of requiring additives to prevent condensation byproducts and achieve selectivity toward primary amines demands urgent attention. In this work, we present an integrated approach utilizing a ligand-bridged Ni-Ti bimetallic complex as a precursor to tune Ni-NiO-NiO(OH) heterojunctions and phases of black titania (bTiO) by controlling pyrolytic conditions. This tailored phase distribution and charge dynamics across heterojunctions create an effective balance of acidic and basic sites, enabling the direct hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines without the need for additives.

We investigated the biokinetics of poorly soluble nanomaterials carbon black, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), cerium oxide (CeO), titanium dioxide (TiO), crystalline silica (SiO) in inhalation studies in rodents (the soluble amorphous silica was also included). By reviewing research papers on the inhalation of these substances, we collected physico-chemical data and elemental distribution to organs, urine, and feces.
