Promoting the Performances of TiO2 Submicrosphere-Embedded Ru Nanoparticles in Benzene Selective Hydrogenation by Morphology Manipulation

“…To enhance the performance of TiO 2 , tailoring the morphology with desired porosity, crystallinity, and surface area is a versatile and important route. Until now, mesoporous TiO 2 spheres, monoliths, films, scaffolds, and tubes have been fabricated by microfluidic, macromolecular coassembly, sol–gel, solvothermal, and dual-template strategies. Of special focus are monodispersed TiO 2 submicrospheres with abundant pores in suitable diameters because of their submicrometer size, high surface area, tunable pore size, improved diffusivity of substrate and product molecules, and increased number of reaction sites, which make them prime candidates as supports or catalysts in photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and heterogeneous catalysis .…”

Solvothermal synthesis of mesoporous TiO2 with tunable surface area, crystal size and surface hydroxylation for efficient photocatalytic acetaldehyde degradation

“…Even though most prepared samples consist in fact of spherical shaped nanoparticles (except for 100TiO2-24), their particle size does not show a clear correlation with solvothermal time or temperature. The nanocrystal size of these as-prepared TiO2 samples ranged from 5-15 nm, which is relatively small compared to values reported in the literature [62][63][64][65]. This small size is beneficial for enhancing the reactivity of (001) facets.…”

Photocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Conversion by Structurally and Materially Modified Titanium Dioxide Nanostructures

“…Preparing anatase cuboids and manipulating facets percentage (100) and (001) may help in evaluating facet reactivity throughout the photocatalytic reactions. Hence, it is for crucial significance to synthesize anatase cuboids enclosed by (001) and (100) facets over a wide size range, as in lithium-ion batteries and solar cells where several studies [ 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 ] relied on the exposed facets of anatase effect on its optical and electrochemical features to be applied in such applications. Photocatalytic materials can be formed via the integration of multiple components, adjusting the facet of each component.…”
