“…TiO 2 has attracted considerable attention due to its strong photocatalytic activity, robust chemical stability under acidic and oxidative environments, high electrical and optical properties, non-toxicity and low production cost [7]. It has been used in numerous fields, such as photocatalysis [8], optoelectronics, dye-sensitized solar cells [9], biomedical devices [10], gas sensors [11] and water purification [12]. Among the three most abundant crystallographic forms of TiO 2 (anatase, rutile and brookite), the anatase form is mainly used in photocatalysis and solar energy conversion due to its higher charge-carrier mobility and greater density of surface hydroxyls [13,14].…”

Photocatalytic paper is a composite photocatalyst generally prepared by loading semiconductors, such as titanium dioxide (TiO 2) nanoparticles on paper, and attracts sustaining interests. In this paper, poly-dopamine (PDA) was loaded on cellulose fibre by in situ oxidative polymerization of dopamine. The PDA-loaded cellulose fibre (PLCF) was used to make TiO 2 photocatalytic paper together with pristine cellulose fibre (CF) and TiO 2 nanoparticles to improve the performance of the photocatalytic paper. The loading of PDA on CF and the introduction of TiO 2 nanoparticles in paper were verified by infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction technique, respectively. As observed by scanning electron microscopy, the introduction of PLCF significantly improved the distribution of TiO 2 nanoparticles in paper by forming a membranous substance. The photocatalytic performance of the as-prepared photocatalytic paper was analysed by decomposing methyl orange under UV light irradiation. It was confirmed that the occurrence of PLCF significantly improved the photocatalytic performance of the photocatalytic paper. The paper with the highest photocatalytic activity was prepared using a PLCF-to-CF mass ratio of 1:1. The photocatalytic paper with PLCF is stable in the process of repeated application. This work provided a new approach to prepare photocatalytic paper with improved photocatalytic activity.

“…16,17 The process is scalable, allows for the formation of multicomponent materials and the simplification of the precursor delivery stage potentially reduces the cost of the deposition process. 18 Recently, we reported several well-defined heterobimetallic compounds including [Cd 2 Ti 4 (μ-O) 6 (T-FA) 8 (THF) 6 ]•1.5THF, 19 [Zn 2 Ti 22 for the synthesis of composite oxide thin films of CdTiO 3 -TiO 2 , ZnTiO 3 -TiO 2 , CuZrO 3 -CuO and CuO-1.5ZrO 2 , respectively, via the AACVD method and their possible technological applications were explored. For example, the scope of a CdTiO 3 -TiO 2 composite thin film having a band gap of 3.1 eV was investigated as a photoanode for dye-sensitized solar cell applications.…”

Cobalt titanate-titania composite oxide films have been grown on FTO-coated glass substrates using a single-source heterometallic complex [Co2Ti4(μ-O)6(TFA)8(THF)6]·THF () which was obtained in quantitative yield from the reaction of diacetatocobalt(ii) tetrahydrate, tetraisopropoxytitanium(iv), and trifluoroacetic acid from a tetrahydrofuran solution. Physicochemical investigations of complex have been carried out by melting point, FT-IR, thermogravimetric and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. CoTiO3-TiO2 films composed of spherical objects of various sizes have been grown from by aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition at different temperatures of 500, 550 and 600 °C. Thin films characterized by XRD, Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis have been explored for electrochemical detection of dopamine (DA). The cyclic voltammetry with the CoTiO3-TiO2 electrode showed a DA oxidation peak at +0.215 V while linear sweep voltammetry displayed a detection limit (LoD) of 0.083 μM and a linear concentration range of 20-300 μM for DA. Thus, the CoTiO3-TiO2 electrode is a potential candidate for the sensitive and selective detection of DA.
