In this article, titanium oxide nanotube arrays (TiO2–NTAs) were fabricated by anodic oxidation in an ethylene glycol (EG) electrolyte solution containing 0.25 wt.% NH4F. By varying anodized time and annealed temperature, the obtained nanotube arrays behaved different photocatalytic (PC)...

In this paper, a kind of novel anatase TiO2 nanoparticle with single-electron-trapped oxygen vacancies was prepared by hydrothermal treated nanotube titanic acid. The morphology, structure, and properties of the products were characterized by transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction,...

In this work, a Ti-pillared montmorillonite with high thermal stability has been prepared by using a Na-montmorillonite as the host clay and polyhydroxy-titania ions as the pillaring precursor. The formation of Ti-pillared montmorillonite has been confirmed from the characterizations through...

In this paper, Au-loaded TiO2 (Au/TiO2) photocatalysts were prepared by photochemical deposition method and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results indicated the metallic Au nanoparticles were deposited...

In this paper, pure and Au-deposited ZnO nanoparticles with different Au content were prepared and characterized. The effect of Au content on the PL properties and photocatalytic activity of CO oxidation was mainly investigated. The results showed that Au deposition can greatly decrease the...

Various types of linked structures between added rows on a rutile TiO2(110) surface have been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). A new type of linked structure, cycle-link structure comprised of eight oxygen atoms and six titanium atoms, has been observed for the first time on...

The assembled structures of triangular symmetrically shape molecules with three functional groups, trimesic acid (TMA) and melamine, have been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy on Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) in ambient. Hexagonal porous structures are formed by these...
