Effects of various hydrogenated temperatures on photocatalytic activity of mesoporous titanium dioxide

TL;DR: In this article, the structural properties of H-TiO2 and its effects on photogenerated charges are investigated, and it is shown that H- TiO2 treated at high temperature can cause the formation of less photoactive rutile phase and agglomeration that leads to the inhibition of their photocatalytic activity.

Band alignment and defects influence the electron–phonon heat transport mechanisms across metal interfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the experimental determination of electron-electron conductance at Au/TiOx interfacial regions and electron-phonon coupling of thin TiOx layers for x = 0-2.62 was reported.

Characterization of potential nanoporous sodium titanate film formation on Ti6Al4V and TiO2 microspherical substrates via wet-chemical alkaline conversion

TL;DR: In this paper , the formation of nanoporous, wet-chemically produced sodium titanate films onto microspherical substrates of varying composition was investigated. But, the results showed that excessive oxygen content (flame-spheroidised anatase and rutile powders) resulted in inhibition of titanate formation, apart from the top few nanometres of the surface.

Electrochemical Photolysis of Water at a Semiconductor Electrode

TL;DR: Water photolysis is investigated by exploiting the fact that water is transparent to visible light and cannot be decomposed directly, but only by radiation with wavelengths shorter than 190 nm.

The surface science of titanium dioxide

TL;DR: Titanium dioxide is the most investigated single-crystalline system in the surface science of metal oxides, and the literature on rutile (1.1) and anatase surfaces is reviewed in this paper.

Increasing Solar Absorption for Photocatalysis with Black Hydrogenated Titanium Dioxide Nanocrystals

TL;DR: It is shown that disorder-engineered TiO2 nanocrystals exhibit substantial solar-driven photocatalytic activities, including the photo-oxidation of organic molecules in water and the production of hydrogen with the use of a sacrificial reagent.
