TiO2 nanospheres with high specific surface area and good crystallinity were prepared by a hydrothermal method using urea as the capping agent and isopropanol as the solvent. The capping agent effectively controlled the morphology of TiO2 nanospheres and led to improved crystallinity. Using a solvent with a long carbon chain, such as isopropanol, also promoted the formation of TiO2 nanospheres. TiO2 nanospheres with different morphologies were prepared by adjusting the amount of urea. It was found that when TiO2-0.6 was used as the photocatalyst, highest rates of degradation of both methylene blue and rhodamine B under ultraviolet-visible light were observed. Moreover TiO2-0.6 also had the largest hydrogen production efficiency among the different TiO2 samples tested. Thus, TiO2 nanospheres have great development potential and application prospects in environmental management and new modes of energy utilization.

We introduce a three-step method (co-polymerization, surface activation and exfoliation) for the first time to synthesize sub-nanometer-thin carbon nitride nanosheets as highly efficient hydrogen evolution photocatalysts.

Boehmite nanocrystalline powders were obtained by neutralization of Bayer liquor at 70?C with addition of glucose. Temperature of the neutralization induced formation of the flower-like morphology of the nanopowders. XRD and FTIR results confirmed that the single phase boehmite is formed without any other impurities. Calcination at 500?C led to the formation of transition -alumina with the retention of the flower-like morphology. Both as-synthesised and calcined powders possessed high specific surface area with mesopores between 3-6 nm in diameter. Relatively low temperature of neutralization as well as the use of low cost and ecologically friendly glucose as a surfactant are very promising for the possible application in the industrial production of alumina nanopowders.
