TiO N /TiO was synthesized by nitriding of TiO in NH gas. TiO N /TiO generated hydrogen from methanol aqueous solution under visible-light irradiation. It was revealed by N K-edge XANES and N 1s XPS measurements that the N species contributing to visible-light responsiveness was the O-Ti-N species. The structure of TiO N /TiO showing the photocatalytic activity was a double shell type with thin layers of TiO N that covers the TiO core. Although N content on the surface decreased during the photocatalytic reaction, N was supplied from the deeper side to keep the TiO N phase at the surface and the activity as well.

Annealing plays a crucial role for in enhancing the gas sensing properties of MOF-derived TiO (MIL-125). Generally, TiO transforms into different polymorphs (anatase, rutile, and brookite) during annealing, each with unique crystal structures and gas sensing properties. The aim of this research was to investigate the impact of annealing (500-650 °C) on the properties of MIL-125, which had not been previously studied.

NO is a significant primary atmospheric pollutant that plays a key role in atmospheric chemistry. It serves as a crucial precursor to photochemical smog, acid rain, and secondary particulate matter and is instrumental in determining the atmospheric oxidation capacity. In this review, we focus on the heterogeneous chemistry of NO, which has been demonstrated to significantly influence the sources and sinks of various nitrogen-containing species through field measurements and model simulations.
