Carrier-dependent magnetic anisotropy of cobalt doped titanium dioxide.

ABSTRACT: Using first-principles calculations, we predict that the magnetic anisotropy energy of Co-doped TiO2 sensitively depends on carrier accumulation. This magnetoelectric phenomenon provides a potential route to a direct manipulation of the magnetization direction in diluted magnetic semiconductor by external electric-fields. We calculate the band structures and reveal the origin of the carrier-dependent magnetic anisotropy energy in k-space. It is shown that the carrier accumulation shifts the Fermi energy, and consequently, regulates the competing contributions to the magnetic anisotropy energy. The calculations provide an insight to understanding this magnetoelectric phenomenon, and a straightforward way to search prospective materials for electrically controllable spin direction of carriers.

Silicon-Doped Titanium Dioxide Nanotubes Promoted Bone Formation on Titanium Implants.

Project description:While titanium (Ti) implants have been extensively used in orthopaedic and dental applications, the intrinsic bioinertness of untreated Ti surface usually results in insufficient osseointegration irrespective of the excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties of it. In this study, we prepared surface modified Ti substrates in which silicon (Si) was doped into the titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanotubes on Ti surface using plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) technology. Compared to TiO₂ nanotubes and Ti alone, Si-doped TiO₂ nanotubes significantly enhanced the expression of genes related to osteogenic differentiation, including Col-I, ALP, Runx2, OCN, and OPN, in mouse pre-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells and deposition of mineral matrix. In vivo, the pull-out mechanical tests after two weeks of implantation in rat femur showed that Si-doped TiO₂ nanotubes improved implant fixation strength by 18% and 54% compared to TiO₂-NT and Ti implants, respectively. Together, findings from this study indicate that Si-doped TiO₂ nanotubes promoted the osteogenic differentiation of osteoblastic cells and improved bone-Ti integration. Therefore, they may have considerable potential for the bioactive surface modification of Ti implants.

Hydrothermal Cobalt Doping of Titanium Dioxide Nanotubes towards Photoanode Activity Enhancement

Project description:Doping and modification of TiO2 nanotubes were carried out using the hydrothermal method. The introduction of small amounts of cobalt (0.1 at %) into the structure of anatase caused an increase in the absorption of light in the visible spectrum, changes in the position of the flat band potential, a decrease in the threshold potential of water oxidation in the dark, and a significant increase in the anode photocurrent. The material was characterized by the SEM, EDX, and XRD methods, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, and UV-Vis reflectance measurements. Electrochemical measurement was used along with a number of electrochemical methods: chronoamperometry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and linear sweep voltammetry in dark conditions and under solar light illumination. Improved photoelectrocatalytic activity of cobalt-doped TiO2 nanotubes is achieved mainly due to its regular nanostructure and real surface area increase, as well as improved visible light absorption for an appropriate dopant concentration.

Cobalt-Doped Manganese Dioxide Hierarchical Nanostructures for Enhancing Pseudocapacitive Properties.

Project description:Herein, overall improvement in the electrochemical performance of manganese dioxide is achieved through fine-tuning the microstructure of partially Co-doped manganese dioxide nanomaterial using facile hydrothermal method with precise control of preparative parameters. The structural investigation exhibits formation of a multiphase compound accompanied by controlled reflections of α-MnO2 as well as γ-MnO2 crystalline phases. The morphological examination manifests the presence of MnO2 nanowires having a width of 70-80 nm and a length of several microns. The Co-doped manganese dioxide electrode displayed a particular capacitive behavior along with a rising order of capacitance concerning with increased cobalt ion concentration suitable for certain limits. The value of specific capacitance achieved by a 5% Co-doped manganese dioxide sample was 1050 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, which was nearly threefold greater than that achieved by a bare manganese dioxide electrode. Furthermore, Co-doped manganese dioxide nanocomposite electrode exhibits exceptional capacitance retention (92.7%) till 10,000 cycles. It shows the good cyclability as well as stability of the material. Furthermore, we have demonstrated the solid-state supercapacitor with good energy and power density.

Z-Scheme Heterojunction of Phosphorus-Doped Carbon Nitride/Titanium Dioxide: Photocatalytic Performance.

Project description:With increasingly serious environmental pollution problems, the development of efficient photocatalytic materials has become a hotspot in current research. This study focused on phosphorus-doped carbon nitride/titanium dioxide (PCT) Z-type heterojunctions, aiming to deeply investigate their photocatalytic degradation and photosensitive antimicrobial properties. A PCT Z-type heterojunction was successfully fabricated using melamine phosphate, cyanuric acid, and titanium dioxide. The structure, morphology, and optical properties of PCT Z-type heterojunctions were explored by FTIR, XRD, XPS, BET, SEM, UV-Vis DRS, TEM, EIS, and PL. A comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the structure, morphology, and optical properties of PCT Z-type heterojunctions was carried out. The photocatalytic degradation experiments revealed that PC3T Z-type heterojunctions exhibited an excellent degradation capability for methylene blue (MB) under visible light. The effect of PC3T on the adsorption-photocatalytic degradation of MB is more than 1.5 times that of a single titanium dioxide and P-doped carbon nitride. In the photosensitive antimicrobial performance study, PC3T reduced the survival rate of E. coli to 7%, after 120 min. Through free radical trapping experiments, it was shown that the hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals exerted an influence on the photocatalytic process. This study offers new ideas and approaches to address environmental pollution problems and holds significant theoretical and applied value.

Mechanism of Escherichia coli inactivation on palladium-modified nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide.

Project description:The cellular responses of Escherichia coli to visible light photocatalysis were characterized by chemical, optical, electron-beam, and surface-force techniques, to elucidate the mechanisms of photocatalytic inactivation of E. coli on PdO/TiON fiber. The characterization techniques included chemical assays, fluorescence microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Fluorescence microscopy using the Live/Dead BacLight kit indicates that the photocatalytic treatment resulted in severe membrane damage to the E. coli cells. SEM, AFM and TEM revealed drastic defects in the morphology and internal sub-structure of the bacterial cells after the treatments. Combining data from our previous reports on the antimicrobial properties of visible-light-activated PdO/TiON photocatalyst, the present results point to oxidative attack from the exterior to the interior of the bacteria by hydroxyl radicals as the primary mechanism of photocatalytic inactivation.

Titanium Dioxide/N-Doped Graphene Composites as Non-Noble Bifunctional Oxygen Electrocatalysts.

Project description:Bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts are essential in the development of low-temperature unitized regenerative fuel cells (URFCs), as a promising alternative for storing energy via hydrogen. TiO2, as a semiconductor material, is commonly not established as an active electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution due to its poor electrical conductivity and low reactivity. Here, we demonstrated that composites composed of TiO2 and N-doped graphene can be active in oxygen reduction and evolution reactions in an alkaline environment. Combination factors such anatase/rutile interaction, N-doping graphene, and the presence of Ti3+/Ti-N species raise the active sites and improve the electrochemical activity. Our results may afford an opportunity to develop a non-noble and promising electrocatalyst in energy storage technology.

Rapid preparation of terbium-doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles and their enhanced photocatalytic performance.

Project description:Further applications of photocatalysis were limited by the high recombination probability of photo-induced electron-hole pairs in traditional titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs). Herein, we modified them with rare earth metal via a facile sol-gel method, using tetrabutyl titanate as a precursor and terbium (III) nitrate hexahydrate as terbium (Tb) source. The resulting samples with different Tb doping amounts (from 0 to 2%) have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy and a scanning electron microscope. The photocatalytic performance of Tb-doped TiO2 was evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue. The effects of Tb doping amount and initial pH value of solution were investigated in detail. The composite with Tb doping amount of 1.0 wt% showed the highest photocatalytic performance. It exhibited approximately three times enhancement in photocatalytic activity with a reaction rate constant of 0.2314 h-1 when compared with that of commercial P25 (0.0827 h-1). In addition, it presented low toxicity on zebrafishes with 96 h-LC50 of 23.2 mg l-1, and has been proved to be reusable for at least four cycles without significant loss of photocatalytic activity. A probable photocatalytic mechanism of Tb-doped TiO2 was proposed according to the active species trapping experiments. The high photocatalytic performance, excellent reusability and low toxicity of Tb-doped TiO2 indicated that it is a promising candidate material in the future treatment of dye wastewater.
