Carbon quantum dots induced one-dimensional ordered growth of single crystal TiO2 nanowires while boosting photoelectrochemistry properties

Low-frequency AC-photocatalysis coupling for high-efficiency removal of organic pollutants from water based on the self-powered triboelectric nanogenerator

“…From the longitudinal section, the thicknesses of TNSs and TNBs are estimated to be as 4.71 μm and 8.35 μm, respectively, and both of them heap up dense layers in the subsurface layer, which is inevitable for the two-dimensional growth of crystals. Combined with our previous work, 55 GQDs were used as an inducer for one-dimensional growth to prepare ultra-fine ordered TNWAs. The thickness of the TNWAs film reaches 11.73 μm, and the subsurface dense layer was eliminated by the GQDs-induced growth, resulting in better penetration of light in the longitudinal direction.…”

Facile Synthesis to Porous TiO2 Nanostructures at Low Temperature for Efficient Visible-Light Degradation of Tetracycline

“…At present, researchers have developed advanced oxidation, adsorption, microbial degradation and other technologies for the treatment of TC, among which photocatalytic oxidation is a typical advanced oxidation method [ 25 , 26 , 27 ]. In photocatalytic degradation, photocatalysts absorb solar energy to degrade antibiotics [ 28 , 29 ]. Owing to its environmental protection, low cost, complete degradation, and mild reaction conditions, this technology has become a research hotspot at home and abroad [ 30 ].…”
