Hydrothermally synthesized titanate nanotubes were carbon-doped through a thermal treatment in the presence of glucose followed by blending with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). A series of TiO2-based materials was prepared with various initial glucose contents and two SWCNT types, resulting in total carbon contents from 0.3 wt.% to nearly 26 wt.%. Electron microscopy observations indic...

This study examines the hot corrosion behaviour of plasma-coated T12 steel for 10 cycles 100 h each in an industrial boiler. The coating contains CNT (carbon nanotubes) reinforced alumina-titania powders. substrates were exposed to boiler at 750 °C. A thermogravimetric examination was conducted evaluate kinetics corrosion. Corroded samples examined with scanning electron microscopy and x-ray di...

Ion implantation of titania nanotubes is a highly versatile approach for tailoring structural and electrical properties. While recently self-organized nanoscale compositional patterning has been reported, the atomistic foundations impact on electronic structure are not established at this point. To study these aspects, ab initio molecular dynamic simulations based atomic compositions in C impla...

Hierarchically structured porous TiO2-B spheres have been synthesized via a hydrothermal process using amorphous titania/oleylamine composites as a self-sacrificing template. The TiO2-B spheres are constructed by interconnected nanotubes and possess a high specific surface area of 295 m(2) g(-1). When evaluated as an anode material in lithium-half cells, the as-obtained TiO2-B material exhibits...
