Based on the change in the color of an organic dye – rhodamine B, on the surface of concrete under the action of ultraviolet radiation, a theoretical and experimental assessment of the photocatalytic activity of concrete was carried out. Photocatalytic activity was calculated using the obtained coordinates of colorimetry L * a * b *. To assess the performance of the photocatalyst over time, a test was carried out with concrete samples at the age of 7 and 28 days. Titanium dioxide of three types of anatase modification of a foreign manufacturer was used as a photocatalyst in the study. It is shown that the introduction of titanium dioxide into concrete promotes self-cleaning of its surface. The values of discoloration of the dye on the concrete surface were obtained depending on its composition and on the time of exposure to ultraviolet radiation. It was determined that the value of the specific surface area of titanium dioxide affects the photocatalytic activity. It is noted that with the age of concrete samples, there is a noticeable decrease in phototransformation. It was also found that the high specific surface area of titanium dioxide allows it to exhibit its photocatalytic properties over time.

Nitrogen doping can be achieved by heating TiO2-based photocatalyst powders under dopant-generating atmospheres such as NH3. In the present work, metatitanic acid (MTA) powder was used as a raw material to obtain nitrogen-doped titania using heat treatment in NH3flow. MTA is an industrially available intermediate product in sulfate process for TiO2production, which is mesoporous material with high specific surface area. The MTA powder was heat-treated in flowing NH3at 400–550°C. For comparison, commercial P25 TiO2powder was heat-treated under the same conditions. The results show that nitrogen dopant can be successfully incorporated into the MTA by heating in NH3 atmosphere. This obviously results in the enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity, especially in MTA sample heated at 400°C. Due to the fascinating properties of MTA powder such as high specific surface area, the N-doping effect on MTA powder is much higher than the P25 TiO2powder.

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) present excellent mechanical properties. However, the exploitation of chemical properties of HEAs is far less than that of mechanical properties, which is mainly limited by the low specific surface area of HEAs synthesized by traditional methods. Thus, it is vital to develop new routes to fabricate HEAs with novel three-dimensional structures and a high specific surface area. Herein, we develop a facile approach to fabricate nanoporous noble metal quasi-HEA microspheres by melt-spinning and dealloying. The as-obtained nanoporous Cu30Au23Pt22Pd25 quasi-HEA microspheres present a hierarchical porous structure with a high specific surface area of 69.5 m2/g and a multiphase approximatively componential solid solution characteristic with a broad single-group face-centered cubic XRD pattern, which is different from the traditional single-phase or two-phase solid solution HEAs. To differentiate, these are named quasi-HEAs. The synthetic strategy proposed in this paper opens the door for the synthesis of porous quasi-HEAs related materials, and is expected to promote further applications of quasi-HEAs in various chemical fields.
