P-doped TiO2 with superior visible-light activity prepared by rapid microwave hydrothermal method

Photocatalysis fundamentals and surface modification of TiO2 nanomaterials

“…More interestingly, it was also reported that ZrO2-modified TiO2−xNx displayed higher porosity, higher specific surface area, and an improved thermal stability over the corresponding unmodified TiO2−xNx samples [96]. Recently, the doping of other non-metal species, such as F, S [111,112], P [113,114], B, and C [115][116][117][118][119], and co-doping of these non-metal species [120][121][122][123][124][125][126][127] and metal species [128][129][130] have also been widely investigated to further increase the activity and stability of TiO2 nanomaterials. However, to date, the photocatalytic reaction rates of N-doped TiO2 nanomaterials remain low owing to their poor visible light absorption.…”

Improved conductivity and ionic mobility in nanostructured thin films via aliovalent doping for ultra-high rate energy storage

“…[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] Additionally, the mechanism by which dopant ions improve performance has been investigated. A variety of synthetic routes have been utilized to create doped TiO 2 , including hydrothermal, 39 solgel, 40 microwave, 41 atomic layer deposition, 42 spray pyrolysis, 43 and combustion 44 techniques. However, many of these synthesis techniques do not allow direct control of the nal electrode morphology because they require post-processing and slurry casting to prepare the electrode.…”

Synthesis of V-modified TiO2 nanorod-aggregates by a facile microwave-assisted hydrothermal process and photocatalytic degradation towards PCP-Na under solar light

“…The TiO 2 aggregates with high stability and appropriate hydrodynamic diameter in the complicated system could promote the capture and precipitation of TiO 2 , thereby reducing its harm to the environment. 26,27 Recently, the microwave-assisted hydrothermal method (MWH) has attracted signicant interest in the preparation of nano-photocatalysts, [28][29][30] mainly in the form of nanoparticles. Compared with conventional heating, microwave-assisted preparation is characterized by a rapid heating rate, high energy efficiency, molecular homogeneity, selectivity, and convenience.…”

“…Compared with conventional heating, microwave-assisted preparation is characterized by a rapid heating rate, high energy efficiency, molecular homogeneity, selectivity, and convenience. [29][30][31][32] Based on the abovementioned concepts, herein, the synthesis of nanocrystalline TiO 2 with distinct morphologies and vanadium modication through a novel MWH process from a commercially available raw material was conducted. The product was compared with the nanocatalysts fabricated via conventional hydrothermal treatment (HT).…”
