Herein we report a simple synthetic protocol for N-doped yellow TiO (N-TiO ) hollow spheres as an efficient visible-light-active photocatalyst using aqueous titanium peroxocarbonate complex (TPCC) solution as precursor and NH OH. In the developed strategy, the ammonium ion of TPCC and NH OH acts as nitrogen source and structure-directing agent. The synthesized N-TiO hollow spheres are capable of promoting the synthesis of active esters of N-hydroxyimide and alcohol through simultaneous selective oxidation of alcohol to aldehyde followed by cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) under ambient conditions upon irradiation of visible light. It is possible to develop a novel and cost-effective one-pot strategy for the synthesis of important esters and amides on gram scale using the developed strategy. The catalytic activity of N-TiO hollow spheres is much superior to that of other reported N-TiO samples as well as TiO with varying morphology.

In recent years, reactive ammonia (NH) has emerged as a major source of indoor air pollution. In this study, AlO-based hollow fiber membranes functionalized with nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide were produced and successfully applied for efficient heterogeneous photocatalytic NH gas degradation. AlO hollow fiber membranes were prepared using the phase inversion process.

As the most commonly used antipyretic and analgesic drug, paracetamol (PA) coexists with neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) in real biological samples. Their simultaneous determination is extremely important for human health, but they also interfere with each other. In order to improve the conductivity, adsorption affinity, sensitivity, and selectivity of TiO-based electrochemical sensor, N-doped carbon@TiO double-shelled hollow sphere (H-C/N@TiO) is designed and synthesized by simple alcoholic and hydrothermal method, using polystyrene sphere (PS) as a template.

Synthesis and application of three-dimensional TiO hierarchical architectures are one of the major priorities in the research and development of TiO catalysts. Using bacteria as a template and a reactor, a bioinspired strategy was developed in the present study to synthesize nanosheet-assembled TiO hierarchical architectures (N-TiO-HA) and relative composites for photocatalytic and electrocatalytic applications. In the first part of this work, three kinds of bacteria were used for the synthesis of N-TiO-HA with satisfactory monodispersity, and the growth mechanism was investigated.

We report an ultraviolet (UV) photodetector with a universally transferable monolayer film with ordered hollow TiO spheres on p-GaN. After forming a TiO monolayer film by unidirectional rubbing of hollow TiO spheres on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) supporting plate, we used a 5% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) aqueous solution to transfer the film onto the target substrate. The PVA/TiO monolayer film was detached from the PDMS film and transferred to the p-GaN/AlO substrate.
