Template-free formation of vertically oriented TiO2 nanorods with uniform distribution for organics-sensing application

High-density arrays of vertically oriented TiO(2) nanorods with uniform distribution on Ti foil have been formed through template-free oxidation of Ti in hydrogen peroxide solutions. Subsequent thermal treatment was applied for growing mixed crystal structures to pursue higher performance. Morphology characterization using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) shows a nanorod diameter in the range of 20-50 nm with a length of 1.5 μm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement demonstrates the crystallization of the TiO(2) nanorods prior to thermal treatment and the formation of anatase and rutile mixed phase after thermal treatment. The mixed crystal TiO(2) nanorods show a much higher performance than pure anatase in photoelectrochemical experiments. Steady-state photocurrent resulted from photocatalytic oxidation of organic compounds by TiO(2) nanorods is employed as response signal in determination of the organics to yield a linear range of 0-1.1mM for glucose. For other organics, an excellent linear relationship between the net steady-state photocurrent and the concentration of electrons transferred in exhaustive oxidation for these organics is obtained, which empowers the mixed crystal TiO(2) nanorods to serve as versatile material in organics-sensing application.

Solution fabrication and photoelectrical properties of CuInS₂ nanocrystals on TiO₂ nanorod array

One-dimensional semiconductor architectures are receiving attention in preparing photovoltaic solar cells because of its superior charge transport as well as excellent light-harvesting efficiency. In this study, vertically aligned single-crystalline TiO(2) nanorods array was grown directly on transparent conductive glass (FTO), and then CuInS(2) nanocrystals were deposited on nanorods array by spin coating method to form TiO(2)/CuInS(2) heterostructure films. The resulting nanostructure assembly and composition was confirmed by field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) , transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM, and X-ray diffraction(XRD). Ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis) data indicates that the absorbance of the nanocomposite film extended into the visible region compared with bare TiO(2) nanorod arrays. The surface photovoltage spectra (SPS) also showed a new and enhanced response region corresponding to the absorption spectrum. These results suggest that the novel CuInS(2) nanocrystals sensitized TiO(2) nanorod array on FTO photoelectrodes has a potential application in photovoltaic devices.     

A facile method for fabricating TiO2@mesoporous carbon and three-layered nanocomposites

Herein, we report a new and facile method for fabricating TiO(2)@mesoporous carbon hybrid materials. Uniform polydopamine (PDA) layers were coated onto the surface of titanate nanotubes (TNTs) and TiO(2) nanorods (TNDs) through the spontaneous adhesion and self-polymerization of dopamine during the dipping process. Core-shell mesoporous carbon nanotubes with TiO(2) nanorods or nanoparticles encapsulated inside (TiO(2)@MC) were then obtained by transforming PDA layers into carbonaceous ones through calcination in nitrogen at 800 °C. The thickness of the mesoporous carbon layers is tens of nanometers and can be controlled by adjusting the coated PDA layers through the self-polymerization reaction time. In addition, three-layered nanocomposites of TiO(2)@MC@MO (MO, metal oxide) can be readily prepared by utilizing PDA layers in TNTs@PDA or TNDs@PDA to adsorb the metal ions, followed by the calcination process.     

Hydrothermal synthesis of anatase TiO2 nanorods with high crystallinity using ammonia solution as a solvent

Anatase TiO2 nanorods with high crystallinity were synthesized using ammonia solution (28%) as a solvent by through the hydrothermal method. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirmed the product's anatase phase and high crystallinity, and the transmission electron microscope (TEM) image demonstrated the unique morphologies of the two ends of the TiO2 nanorods (two tringle-horn shapes and one round-horn shape), whose lengths and widths were within the ranges of 200-300 and 60-110 nm, respectively. The high-resolution TEM image clearly displayed the crystal lattices of the (101) planes lying along the direction of the lengthes of the TiO2 nanorods. The energy dispersive X-ray spectrum of a TiO2 nanorod revealed the presence of about 4 atm% nitrogen element as a trace in the anatase TiO2 nanorod. The Raman spectrum of the TiO2 nanorods also showed the typical bands of anatase TiO2 and very weak peaks resulting from the TiN first-order defect-induced Raman scattering. The UV-vis diffuse-reflectance spectra showed a slight red shift (about 3 nm) of the anatase TiO2 nanorods compared with P25, which probably resulted from the trace of TiN on the surfaces of the anatase TiO2 nanorods. A three-stage-process mechanism model is proposed for the formation of the nanorods: Rhombus crystallites bounded by four {101} faces are first formed through anisotropic growth, then longer rhombus crystallites are grown via oriented attachment, finally, nanorods with a unique morphology are self-assembled by Van Der Waals forces.

The BET surface area and pore volume of the sample were about 642 m(2)/g and 0.774 cm(3)/g, respectively. The nanosheet structure after calcinations were changed into nanorods/nanoparticles composite with anatase TiO2 structure at 300-500 degrees C (10-15 nm in rods diameter and about 5-10 nm in particles diameter). The solar energy conversion efficiency (eta) of the cell using nanorods/nanoparticles TiO2 (from the nanosheet calcined at 450 degrees C for 2 h) with mesoporous structure was about 7.08% with Jsc of 16.35 mA/cm(2), Voc of 0.703 V and ff of 0.627; while eta of the cell using P-25 reached 5.82% with Jsc of 12.74 mA/cm(2), Voc of 0.704 V, and ff of 0.649.

Preparation and photoelectrocatalytic activity of ZnO nanorods embedded in highly ordered TiO(2) nanotube arrays electrode for azo dye degradation

In this article, the ZnO nanorods embedded in highly ordered TiO(2) nanotube arrays (ZnO/TiO(2) NR/Ts) electrodes were fabricated through two steps: (1) electrosynthesis of TiO(2) nanotube arrays (TiO(2) NTs) in HF solution by anodization method; (2) followed by cathodic electrodeposition of ZnO embedded in the TiO(2) nanotube arrays. The morphological characteristics and structures of ZnO/TiO(2) NR/Ts electrodes were examined by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and UV-vis spectra. The linear-sweep photovoltammetry response on the ZnO/TiO(2) NR/Ts electrode was presented and the photocurrent was dramatically enhanced on the ZnO/TiO(2) NR/Ts electrode, comparing with that on bare TiO(2) NTs electrode. The photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic activity of ZnO/TiO(2) NR/Ts electrode was evaluated in degradation of methyl orange (MO) in aqueous solution.     

Effects of TiO2 nanorod length and post-annealing on the electrical properties of TiO2 nanobarbed fiber structures

TiO2 nanobarbed fiber (NBF) structures consisting of TiO2 nanorods (NRs) on TiO2 nanofibers (NFs) were fabricated. The mean length and diameter of the TiO2 NRs grown for 6 h was 1.38 microm and 71 nm, respectively. One NR was connected to other NRs and the junction points between the TiO2 NRs increased with increasing TiO2 NR length. The crystal structure of the TiO2 NFs and NRs was rutile and anatase, respectively. After post-annealing, only the intensity of the TiO2 NBF peaks increased without any significant structural changes. Raman spectroscopy showed that the TiO2 NBF structure consisted of anatase (TiO2 NFs) and rutile (TiO2 NRs). The bandgap of the TiO2 NBF structure prepared during a TiO2 NR growth time from 0 to 6 h decreased from 3.23 eV to 3.10 eV. The conductivity of the TiO2 NBFs with longer NRs was enhanced by post-annealing.     

TiO(2) nanorods/PMMA copolymer-based nanocomposites: highly homogeneous linear and nonlinear optical material

Original nanocomposites have been obtained by direct incorporation of pre-synthesized oleic acid capped TiO(2) nanorods into properly functionalized poly(methyl methacrylate) copolymers, carrying carboxylic acid groups on the repeating polymer unit. The presence of carboxylic groups on the alkyl chain of the host functionalized copolymer allows an highly homogeneous dispersion of the nanorods in the organic matrix. The prepared TiO(2)/PMMA-co-MA nanocomposites show high optical transparency in the visible region, even at high TiO(2) nanorod content, and tunable linear refractive index depending on the nanoparticle concentration. Finally measurements of nonlinear optical properties of TiO(2) polymer nanocomposites demonstrate a negligible two-photon absorption and a negative value of nonlinear refractive index, highlighting the potential of the nanocomposite for efficient optical devices operating in the visible region.
