Dealloying-driven synthesis of sea-urchin like titanate nanowires and hierarchically porous anatase TiO 2 nanospindles with enhanced photocatalytic performance

Dealloying monolithic Pt-Cu alloy to wire-like nanoporous structure for electrocatalysis and electrochemical sensing

“…However, the precise control over the alloy composition and structure uniformity for activity optimization is still quite challenging by these bottom-up reduction methods. In recent years, dealloying has shown obvious advantage in fabricating nanostructured alloy catalysts with nanoporous ligament-pore structure [16][17][18][19][20]. Different from these bottom-up wet chemical reduction methods, dealloying can more precisely control the alloy ratio by selective removal of one component from a ternary alloy [21,22] or controlled dealloying a binary alloy [23,24].…”

Spindle-like porous N-doped TiO2 encapsulated (Ca,Y)F2:Yb3+,Tm3+ as the efficient photocatalyst near-infrared range

“…Wang et al prepared spindle-like and sea-urchinlike TiO 2 [28,29]. However, no study has been reported applying the dealloying method to upconversion photocatalysts.…”

Dealloying induced plasmonic Au nanoparticle modified mesoporous TiO2 for enhanced visible light photocatalysis

“…The mesoporous anatase TiO 2 has been prepared by combining dealloying with calcination or hydrothermal synthesis, exhibiting good photocatalytic activities. 18 Dealloying (selective corrosion) is normally utilized to fabricate nanoporous metals/alloys/nanocomposites with high surface areas. [19][20][21] Here we developed a novel process for inducing Au nanoparticles in mesoporous TiO 2 photocatalysts (Au/TiO 2 nanocomposites) with greatly enhanced photocatalytic activity through the combination of chemical dealloying and calcination.…”
