In this study, we have synthesized titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) into carbon nanofiber (NFs) composites by a simple electrospinning method followed by subsequent thermal treatment. The resulting composite was characterized by state-of-the-art techniques and exploited as the electrode material for supercapacitor applications. The electrochemical behavior of the as-synthesized TiO2 NPs assembled into carbon nanofibers (TiO2-carbon NFs) was investigated and compared with pristine TiO2 NFs. The cyclic voltammetry and charge–discharge analysis of the composite revealed an enhancement in the performance of the composite compared to the bare TiO2 NFs. The as-obtained TiO2-carbon NF composite exhibited a specific capacitance of 106.57 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g and capacitance retention of about 84% after 2000 cycles. The results obtained from this study demonstrate that the prepared nanocomposite could be used as electrode material in a supercapacitor. Furthermore, this work provides an easy scale-up strategy to prepare highly efficient TiO2-carbon composite nanofibers.

A novel nickel (Ni) and natural rubber loaded carbon nanofiber branches were prepared by electrospinning process followed by conventional heat treatment processes. This research utilized a one-step carbonization process using electrospun fibers from one-pot solution consisting of Ni, natural rubber cup lump (NR) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The as-spun nanofibers were successfully prepared for different types of NR-PAN and NiNR-PAN samples. The obtained nanofibers were stabilized at 260 °C for 2 h and then cooled to room temperature. The stabilized fibers were continued calcined at 900 °C for 1 h under N2 atmosphere. Samples were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). NR-PAN sample showed a uniform surface whereas tiny branches were found on NiNR-PAN sample. The carbon nanofiber branches with 48.29 nm diameter were observed on the parent carbon fiber surface with 700-800 nm diameter. Furthermore, only metallic Ni nanoparticles was formed and the average size of Ni nanoparticles calculated XRD result was 14.15 nm. SEM images showed that Ni nanoparticles were well dispersed on CNFs.

As an Mn+1AXn phase ternary layered carbide, Ti3SiC2 possesses the advantages of both excellent stability and high electrical conductivity, which are considered to be promising electrode materials for supercapacitors. Ti3SiC2/Carbon nanofiber composites with one-dimensional nanostructures were successfully synthesized via electrospinning. Systematic electrochemical tests showed that the Ti3SiC2/Carbon composite possesses a large specific capacitance of 133.1 F/g at the current density of 1 A/g, high rate capability of 113.7% capacitance retention from 1 to 10 A/g, and low resistance of 1.07 Ω. After assembling the asymmetrical supercapacitor, Ti3SiC2/Carbon provides the energy density of 7.02 Wh/kg at the power density of 140 W/kg. In addition, Ti3SiC2/Carbon composite is highly stable, with 74.6% capacity retention after 4000 cycles. Ti3SiC2/Carbon’s superior electrochemical properties are ascribed to the 1D nanowire structure and the high specific surface area. Ti3SiC2/Carbon is a prospective electrode material for future supercapacitors.

Fe1−xS-TiO2 nanoparticles embedded carbon nanofibers (Fe1−xS-TiO2/CNFs) composite as a supercapacitor electrode material has been reported in the present work. The Fe1−xS-TiO2/CNFs composite was fabricated by electrospinning technique followed by carbonization under argon atmosphere and characterized by the state-of-art techniques. The electrochemical studies were carried out in a 2 M KOH electrolyte solution. The synthesized material showed a specific capacitance value of 138 F/g at the current density of 1 A/g. Further, the capacitance retention was about 83%. The obtained results indicate that the Fe1−xS-TiO2/CNFs composite can be recognized as electrode material in supercapacitor.

High salt levels are one of the significant and major limiting factors on crop yield and productivity. Out of the available attempts made against high salt levels, engineered nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely employed and considered as effective strategies in this regard. Of these NPs, titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) and selenium functionalized using chitosan nanoparticles (Cs–Se NPs) were applied for a quite number of plants, but their potential roles for alleviating the adverse effects of salinity on stevia remains unclear. Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) is one of the reputed medicinal plants due to their diterpenoid steviol glycosides (stevioside and rebaudioside A). For this reason, the current study was designed to investigate the potential of TiO2 NPs (0, 100 and 200 mg L−1) and Cs–Se NPs (0, 10 and 20 mg L−1) to alleviate salt stress (0, 50 and 100 mM NaCl) in stevia. The findings of the study revealed that salinity decreased the growth and photosynthetic traits but resulted in substantial cell damage through increasing H2O2 and MDA content, as well as electrolyte leakage (EL). However, the application of TiO2 NPs (100 mg L−1) and Cs–Se NPs (20 mg L−1) increased the growth, photosynthetic performance and activity of antioxidant enzymes, and decreased the contents of H2O2, MDA and EL under the saline conditions. In addition to the enhanced growth and physiological performance of the plant, the essential oil content was also increased with the treatments of TiO2 (100 mg L−1) and Cs–Se NPs (20 mg L−1). In addition, the tested NPs treatments increased the concentration of stevioside (in the non-saline condition and under salinity stress) and rebaudioside A (under the salinity conditions) in stevia plants. Overall, the current findings suggest that especially 100 mg L−1 TiO2 NPs and 20 mg L−1 Cs–Se could be considered as promising agents in combating high levels of salinity in the case of stevia.
