In the paper, mesoporous spherical TiO 2 was synthesized using Ti(SO 4 ) 2 and TiCl 3 as raw materials through one step hydrothermal and calcination method. Good dispersibility and high photocatalytic performance could be obtained without adding any organic dispersant. The preparation process of TiO 2 was simple and high efficient. The grain sizes were 29.0 nm, and the specific surfaces were 99.201 m 2 /g. The photocatalytic efficiency of the prepared samples degrading methyl orange was 1.85 times higher than that of the conventional P25 under visible light. In addition, the reaction mechanism of mesoporous spherical TiO 2 based on experiments was explained.[a] Dr.

According to the composite design, a series of black TiO2/graphene composites were synthesized to improve its photocatalytic activity. TiO2 is generated in situ on the surface of graphene by a facile sol-gel method. The combination of graphene and TiO2 was beneficial for eliminating the opportunity of photogenerated electron-hole recombination due to the excellent conductivity of graphene. In the subsequent hydrogenation process, the self-doping Ti3+ was introduced accompanied by the crystallization of amorphous TiO2. The narrowed bandgap caused by self-doping Ti3+ enhanced the visible light absorption and make the composites appear black. Both of them improved the photocatalytic performance of the synthesized black TiO2/graphene composites. The band structure of the composite was analyzed by valence band XPS, revealing the reason for the high visible light catalytic performance of the composite. The results proved that the black TiO2/graphene composites synthesized show attractive potential for applications in environmental and energy issues.

“…As a result, the recombination rate is inhibited, which subsequently enhances the photocatalytic activity. 106 Additionally, Qin and the team reported a binary heterostructure of nitrogen-doped B-TiO 2 nanosphere with CdS nanorods via hydrothermal route. They found that the TiO 2 part of the heterostructure is composed of pure anatase phase possessing Ti 3+ as well as oxygen vacancies.…”
