Titanium dioxide (TiO2), as an important semiconductor metal oxide, has been widely investigated in the field of photocatalysis. The properties TiO2, including its light absorption, charge transport and surface adsorption, are closely related to defect disorder, which turn plays a significant role photocatalytic performance TiO2. Among all defects identified oxygen vacancy is one most supposed be prevalent many oxides, both by theoretical calculations experimental characterizations. Here, we...
The nanocomposites of TiO2−graphene (TiO2−GR) have been prepared via a facile hydrothermal reaction graphene oxide and TiO2 in an ethanol−water solvent. We show that such TiO2−GR nanocomposite exhibits much higher photocatalytic activity stability than bare toward the gas-phase degradation benzene, volatile aromatic pollutant air. By investigating effect different addition ratios on systematically, we find weight ratio will decrease activity. Analogous phenomenon is also observed for...
The recent progress in the synthesis, properties and photocatalytic applications of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) has been elaborately demonstrated, some perspectives on challenges opportunities for future exploration this arena are discussed.
Increasing interest has been devoted to synthesizing graphene (GR)-semiconductor nanocomposites as photocatalysts for potential applications, which is very similar its forebear carbon nanotube (CNT)-semiconductor photocatalysts. Unfortunately, a thoughtful and inevitable comparison between GR- CNT-semiconductors often neglected in literature. This situation may give incomplete or exaggerated information on the contribution role of GR enhance semiconductor photocatalytic activity, compared...

The ZnS-GR nanocomposites exhibit visible light photoactivity toward aerobic selective oxidation alcohols epoxidation alkenes under ambient conditions. In terms structure-photoactivity correlation analysis, we for first time...
The core–shell nanocomposites of M@TiO2 (M = Au, Pd, Pt) have been synthesized successfully via a facile hydrothermal treatment TiF4 precursor and noble metal colloid particles. Their properties were determined by collection joint techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), diffraction spectra (XRD), ultraviolet/visible diffuse reflectance (DRS), photoluminescence (PL), spin resonance (ESR). Photocatalytic...
A carbon nanotubes (CNT)/TiO2 nanocomposite photocatalyst has been prepared by a simple impregnation method, which is used, for the first time, gas-phase degradation of benzene.

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a promising strategy for addressing the worldwide environmental pollution and energy shortage issues. However, unlike TiO2 with good photostability, intrinsic drawback of photoinduced decomposition, i.e., photocorrosion, semiconductors significantly challenges durable photocatalysis. In this review, photocorrosion mechanisms typical different characterization methods proposed monitoring process semiconductor-based composite photocatalysts are elaborated....
Photocatalytic conversion of diluted CO2 into solar fuel is highly appealing yet still in its infancy. Herein, we demonstrate the metal-node-dependent performance for photoreduction by constructing Ni metal-organic framework (MOF) monolayers (Ni MOLs).

Whereas isostructural Co almost inactive , indicating dependent on...
