Synthesis and luminescent properties of TiO2:Eu3+ nanotubes

Synthesis and characterization of carbon modified TiO2 nanotube and photocatalytic activity on methylene blue under sunlight

“…But the forbidden bandwidth of anatase TiO 2 is relatively large, and reduced its photocatalytic efficiency [9][10][11]. In order to increase the utilization efficiency of TiO 2 on solar energy, researchers do a lot of works from decreasing the forbidden bandwidth of TiO 2 and suppressing the recombination of electrons and holes [12,13]. At present, the modification methods mainly include surface sensitization, noble metal deposition, metal ion doping and non metal ion doping [14][15][16].…”

Facile synthesis and luminescent properties of TiO2:Eu3+ nanorods and spindle-shaped nanoparticles from titanate nanotubes precursors

“…Recently, we have synthesized the uniform titanate precursor [H 2 Ti 2 O 5 ÁH 2 O] nanotubes through a simple hydrothermal process without any organic solvents or surfactants [23]. In this paper, the as-obtained precursor has been successfully utilized to fabricate highly uniform TiO 2 nanorods and spindle-shaped nanoparticles by the calcination and a facile hydrothermal conversion process respectively.…”
