Ag/TiO catalysts were prepared via in-situ synthesis and impregnation methods. The effect of redox state of Ag species on catalytic activity of Ag/TiO catalysts was studied. The Ag-i-300 catalyst with partially oxidized state of Ag species shows superior catalytic activity, keeping HCHO removal efficiency at an extraordinary level of 100% during the 200 min's reaction. The Ag/TiO catalysts were characterized by XPS, UV-Vis, BET, XRD, TEM, and in-situ DRIFTS technologies. XPS and TEM results exhibit that the partially oxidized state of Ag (0 < δ < 1) and high dispersion of Ag species are beneficial for the oxidation of HCHO over Ag/TiO catalysts. According to the above results, a reaction pathway for HCHO oxidation over Ag-i-300 catalyst was also proposed.

WO/Ag/TiO composite photoelectrodes were formed via the high-temperature calcination of a WO film, followed by the sputtering of a very thin silver film and deposition of an overlayer of commercial TiO nanoparticles. These synthetic photoanodes were characterized in view of the oxidation of a model organic compound glucose combined with the generation of hydrogen at a platinum cathode. During prolonged photoelectrolysis under simulated solar light, these photoanodes demonstrated high and stable photocurrents of ca.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) CO reduction using a photocathode is an attractive method for making valuable chemical products due to its simplicity and lower overpotential requirements. However, previous PEC processes have often been diffusion-limited leading to low production rates of the CO reduction reaction, due to inefficient gas diffusion through the liquid electrolyte to the catalyst surface, particularly at high current densities. In this study, a gas-permeable photocathode in a continuous flow PEC reactor is incorporated, which facilitates the direct supply of CO gas to the photocathode-electrolyte interface, unlike dark reaction-based flow reactors.

Electrolysis of bicarbonate-containing CO capture solutions is a promising approach towards achieving low-cost carbon-neutral chemicals production. However, the parasitic bicarbonate-mediated hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and electrode instability in the presence of trace impurities remain major obstacles to overcome. This work demonstrates that the combined use of titanium dioxide (TiO) overlayers with the chelating agent ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) significantly enhances the selectivity and stability of Ag-based electrocatalysts for bicarbonate electrolysis.

This work presented the influence of metal oxides as the support for silver-supported catalysts on the catalytic oxidation of diesel particulate matter (DPM). The supports selected to be used in this work were CeO (reducible), ZnO (semiconductor), TiO (reducible and semiconductor), and AlO (acidic). The properties of the synthesized catalysts were investigated using XRD, TEM, H-TPR, and XPS techniques.
