In this paper, we report a UV/ozone-assisted method for low temperature preparation of mesoporous TiO2 with controlled crystalline phase. The results showed that the crystallization of mesoporous TiO2 can occur at temperatures as low as 100 C under UV/ozone irradiation. Highly crystalline mesoporous anatase TiO2 was obtained after UV/ozone treatment at 200 C. The phase transformation from anata...

Hollow mesoporous silica spheres have recently attracted increasing attention. However, effective synthesis of uniform hollow mesoporous spheres with controllable well-defined pore structures for fundamental research and practical applications has remained a significant challenge. In this work, a straightforward and effective "cationic surfactant assisted selective etching" synthetic strategy w...

Uniform SiO2@CdS mesoporous nanospheres with an average diameter of 300 nm have been synthesized successfully by a facile process. The as-prepared mesoporous composite nanospheres have a BET-specific surface area of 640 m(2) g(-1) and an average pore size of 2.82 nm. The results demonstrated that more than 60% Rhodamine B (RhB) dye in solution (4.8 mg L(-1), 50 mL) could be removed by adsorptio...

Eu ions-doped cubic mesoporous silica thin films with a thickness of about 205 nm were prepared on silicon and glass substrates using triblock copolymer as a structure-directing agent using sol–gel spin-coating and calcination processes. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analysis show that the mesoporous silica thin films have a highly ordered body-centered cubic mesoporous...

Substitution of ionic platinum is carried out in Co3O4 host synthesized by solution combustion strategy. These Pt substituted spinels characterized XRD show pure crystalline phase without any separated peaks related to Pt/PtOx. Electrochemical OER activities these are investigated cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry and chronoamperometry neutral, alkaline neutral buffer electrolytes. L...

Cobalt oxide has good catalytic activity for peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation but poor stability and is vulnerable to inactivation because of agglomeration. In this work, the chlortetracycline (CTC) degradation by catalysis using reduced graphene support cobalt (Co3O4/rGO) composite catalyst was investigated. It found that 86.3% CTC degraded within 120 min in Co3O4/rGO-800/PDS system. The influ...

Cobalt oxide/graphene oxide (Co3O4/GO) nanocomposites were synthesised using the co-precipitation synthesis process. The polycrystalline nature of Co3O4 nanoparticles onto GO sheets is studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern where found in with a particle size 35 nm. structural and morphological field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) EDX, distribution on nanosheets was observed....

In this work, a one-dimensional Co3O4@TiO2 core-shell electrode material with superior electrochemical performance is fabricated by a convenient and controllable route. The approach involves two main steps: the homogeneous deposition of polydopamine and TiO2 layers in sequence on the cobalt coordination polymer and the thermal decomposition of the polymer matrix. The as-prepared electrode mater...
