More importantly, the dimensionality associated with zero-dimensional TiO 2 nanostructures gives unique physical properties, including a high aspect ratio structure, chemical sta -bility, excellent electronic or ionic charge transfer, and a specific interface effect. This chapter elaborates on crystal structure and properties, preparation techniques, strate gies for improving photocatalytic activity of 1D-TiO 2 nanostructure and its applications. Amongst all preparation techniques, the influence of experimental parameters on mor phologies of 1D-TiO 2 nanostructure using hydro/solvothermal method is extensively explained. Furthermore, some critical engineering strategies to enhance the properties of 1D-TiO 2 nanostructures like increasing the surface area, extending the light absorption, and efficient separation of electrons/holes that advantage their potential applications are described. Moreover, a brief summary of their environmental and energy applications is provided. on the development of sustainable environmental remediation and energy tech nologies based the photocatalytic process by driving solar light as renewable source of energy.","PeriodicalId":23104,"journal":{"name":"Titanium Dioxide - Material for a Sustainable Environment","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87281454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surface morphology and physical dimensions were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Laser Diffraction technology, and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Micro-sized flakes having a thickness approximately 40 nm were successfully synthesized by spreading a mixture of titanium alkoxide and hydro- carbon on the water surface. Relatively higher specific surface area (2–6 times) and less crystal defects enhanced photocatalytic activities of nanoflakes due to more surface reac- tion sites. By performing dye degradation under ultraviolet (UV) illumination, titania nanoflakes exhibited the higher photocatalytic efficiency over the commercial photocata- lyst, Degussa P25. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to continuously synthesize low-dimensional nanomaterials in an efficient and cost effective manner. In practical water purification, traditional separation processes such as sedimentation or filtration could be utilized to easily extract the titania flakes from the treated water. Other applications such as anode material for lithium ion batteries and conducting paste in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) were also investigated. The cycling performance of Li-ion battery and energy conversion efficiency of DSSC were significantly improved. using P25 nanoparticles as photocatalysts under the same process condition. (2) Calcined nanoflakes exhibit larger reversible charge/discharge capacity, better rate capability and excellent cycling stability. (3) 7.4% of photon energy conversion efficiency of calcined flakes based DSSC which was 5 times improvement compared to P25 based cell was accomplished.","PeriodicalId":23104,"journal":{"name":"Titanium Dioxide - Material for a Sustainable Environment","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78674760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there are still some disadvantages such as too large energy bandgap (~3.34 eV and ~3.01 eV for anatase and rutile phases, respectively) in the absorbance of all ranges of lights, which limits the photoelectrochemical performance of TiO2. Herein, we like to introduce photocatalytic blue TiO2 that is obtained by the reduction of TiO2. The blue TiO2 consists of Ti3+ state with high oxygen defect density that can absorb the visible and infrared as well as ultraviolet light due to its low energy bandgap, leading to enhance a photocatalytic activity. This chapter covers the structure and properties of blue TiO2, its possible applications in visible-light-driven photocatalysis, and mainly various synthetic methods even including phase-selective room-temperature solution process under atmospheric pressure.","PeriodicalId":23104,"journal":{"name":"Titanium Dioxide - Material for a Sustainable Environment","volume":"162 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78012861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the domain of DSCs, the main focus has been to achieve band adjustment to facilitate electron injection from anchored dyes, and high electronic mobility for photo-generated electron collection. In retrospection, there is a dire need to assimilate and summarize the findings of these studies to further catalyze the research, better understanding and comparison of the structure – property relationships in modifying TiO 2 efficiently for crucial photo- catalytic, electrochemical and nanostructured applications. This chapter aims at categoriz-ing the typical approaches used to modify TiO 2 in the domain of DSCs such as through TiO 2 paste additives, TiO 2 doping, metal oxides inclusion, dye solution co-adsorbing additives, post staining surface treatment additives and electrolyte additives. A summary of the consequences of these modifications on electron injection, charge extraction, elec- tronic mobility, conduction band shift and surface states has been presented.

The effect of coatings largely depends on their composition and method of application, which may give porous or dense coatings. To achieve uniform coatings on dispersed TiO2 particles, various compounds were deposited one after another under specific conditions by the wet chemical deposition method starting from rutile TiO2, produced by the sulfate method in Cinkarna Celje. With the synthesis of composite particles consisting of a core TiO2 particle coated with a functional shell with dimensions in the nano scale, we prepared advanced materials, where the shell protects the particles from undesirable interactions with the environment and improves surface reactive properties of the dispersed particles to meet special requirements. The morphology of surface-treated TiO2 particles has been identified directly using electron microscopy, while the degree of functionalization by various hydroxides was determined using X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF). In addition, zeta potential (ZP) measurements have been utilized to determine the electrochemical properties of resultant particles. The precipitation of hydroxides on the TiO2 surface resulted in the shift of the isoelectric point (IEP). UV-Vis spectroscopy has been used for determining light scattering efficiency. In addition to internal characterization, light fastness of durable grade intended for the application in laminates has been tested by the end user.","PeriodicalId":23104,"journal":{"name":"Titanium Dioxide - Material for a Sustainable Environment","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86048193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
