Here we synthesized a high-density single crystal anatase phase TiO2/ITO nanorods array composite by one-step hydrothermal method. TiCl4, H2O, and HCl were used as the titanium precu-rsor, oxygen source, and inhibitors, respectively. The TiO2 nanorods array were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical contact angle tester and ultraviolet-fluorescence spectrophotometer, separately. The nanorods in the composite grew along the [101] crystal plane, with a diameter of about 500 nm and a length of about 3 μm. The effect of PVP addition on the crystal phase and morphology of TiO2 na-norod arrays was investigated. When the amount of PVP added was 0.5g, the diameter of nanorods was about 77-120nm, and a neat array structure appeared. In the photocatalytic experiment, methyl orange and acid red were used as degraded materials, the photocatalytic degradation rate was up to about 100%. When the hydrophilicity was the best, the optical contact angle of the sample after ultr-aviolet light irradiation was 7.2°. These results indicated that TiO2 after doping experiments got better photocatalytic properties.

Three-dimensional and dendritic rutile TiO2 nanorods were successfully fabricated on a Ti foil surface using a one-step acidic hydrothermal method. The TiO2 nanorods were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and optical contact angle testing. The results showed that the nanorods with diameters of 100–500 nm and lengths of 100 nm to 1 μm were obtained on the Ti foil surface. The length and density of the TiO2 nanorods were perfect at the conditions of HCl concentration 0.5 mol/L, temperature 220 °C, and reaction time 12 h. The TiO2 nanorods formed parallel to the consumption of Ti and grew along the (110) direction having a tetragonal rutile crystal. The morphology of the nanorods possessed a three-dimensional structure. The contact angle of the nanorods was only 13 ± 3.1°. Meanwhile, the photocatalytic activities of the TiO2 nanorods were carried out using ultraviolet fluorescence spectrophotometry for the methyl orange detection, and the degradation was found to be about 71.00% ± 2.43%. Thus, TiO2 nanorods can be developed by a one-step acidic hydrothermal method using Ti foil simultaneously as the substrate with a TiO2 source; the TiO2 nanorods exhibited photocatalytic performance while being environment-friendly.

Photocatalytic H2 Evolution

In this letter, we investigated the photocatalytic activity of the newly formed rGO/PbTiO3 composites, which are synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal route. By adjusting the amount of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) (0, 0.15, 0.30, 0.60, and 1.20 wt%) with the PbTiO3, we constructed various photocatalysts for this investigation. The crystal structure and morphology of the various composites were studied by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Photoelectron spectroscopic study revealed that the band structure of the newly formed composites and efficient charge separation can be obtained by the interfaces of various rGO content. In addition, the photocatalytic performance of the synthesized composites was explored by H2 evolution and rhodamine blue (RhB) degradation. The obtained results indicated that the addition of the appropriate amount of rGO could improve the activity of pure PbTiO3, significantly.

A series of composites of the high photoactivity of {001} facets exposed BiOCl and grapheme sheets (GS) were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal reaction. The obtained BiOCl/GS photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The as-prepared BiOCl/GS photocatalyst showed enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under UV and visible light (λ > 400 nm). The enhanced photocatalytic activity could be attributed to oxygen vacancies of the {001} facets of BiOCl/GS and the high migration efficiency of photo-induced electrons, which could suppress the charge recombination effectively.

AbstractMonoclinic BiVO4 photocatalyst was successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method under appropriate temperature. The photocatalytic performance of BiVO4 was improved by calcining at appropriate temperature. The structural and morphological properties of the synthesized BiVO4 photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. It is confirmed that the photocatalytic activity of the prepared catalysts was evaluated by the photodegradation of RhB under visible-light irradiation. BiVO4 calcined under appropriate temperature exhibited higher photocatalytic activity than uncalcined BiVO4 under visible light irradiation because calcination might effectively increases the purity of monoclinic bismuth vanadate.

Fe2O3@C material was prepared by one-step hydrothermal method for use as a negative electrode in an iron-air battery. The structure of Fe2O3@C was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement while their morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

The results showed that Fe2O3@C material with α-Fe2O3 structure and amorphous carbon were successfully synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method. CV measurements indicate that the redox reaction rate of the Fe2O3@C electrode is higher than that of the Fe2O3@AB electrode using commercial Fe2O3 and AB (Acetylene Black Carbon).

The Mn-doped MoS2 (Mn-MoS2) material is fabricated by a facile one-step calcination method. The Mn2+ content introduced into MoS2 is ranged from 1 wt% to 7 wt%. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy SEM results suggest that the doping of Mn2+ does not alter the crystal structure and the morphology of MoS2. However, it helps the Mn-doped MoS2 to exhibit stronger visible light absorption and higher magnetism. Especially, in the RhB degradation under visible light irradiation, better photocatalytic performance of the as-prepared Mn-doped MoS2 is observed compared to that of pure MoS2

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were successfully synthesised by hydrothermal method using TiO2 microparticle powder (Merck) as precursor. TiO2 microparticles powder (~160 nm) was mixed with 10 M NaOH and treated hydrothermally at 150 °C and 2 MPa pressure in autoclave for 24 hours. After hydrothermal reaction was completed, the sample was washed, dried and heated at 500 °C for 2 hours to produce TiO2 nanoparticles. The synthesised nanoparticles were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and raman spectroscopy. UV-Vis DRS was used to determine the band gap energy. Field emissions and transmissions electron microscopy images revealed that nanoparticles obtained was about 14 nm. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that TiO2 nanoparticles were anatase phase (tetragonal). The band gap energy of TiO2 nanoparticles was determined to be 3.32 eV.

TiO2 films were deposited by using mid-frequency twin magnetron reactive sputtering technique at ambient temperature on quartz and Si wafer. The films were annealed after deposition. The phase composition and surface morphology of the TiO2 films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, while the optical properties and contact angle were measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer and a contact angle meter. It is indicated that anatase phase dominates below 900°C and a mixture of rutile and anatase exists in the film annealed at 1000°C. Furthermore, the hydrophilic property depends on phase composition and morphological change in TiO2 films.
