TiO2-Coated Core-Shell Ag Nanowire Networks for Robust and Washable Flexible Transparent Electrodes
摘要： Silver nanowires (AgNWs) are the most promising materials to fabricate flexible transparent electrodes (FTEs) used in next-generation electronics. However, there are several bottlenecks for AgNWs-based FTEs to achieve large-scale applications, which are the thermal instability and rough surface topography of AgNWs and the poor interfacial adhesion between AgNWs and used substrate. To simultaneously address these aforementioned issues, a robust and washable FTE is prepared based on AgNW@TiO2 core-shell network embedding in polyimide (PI) substrate through a facile and scalable solution-based process. After treating with TiO2 sol, an ultra-thin, conformal, and continuous TiO2 shell is coated on AgNWs, which can effectively suppress the atomic surface diffusion. In comparison with pristine AgNW network that breaks into nanorods and nanospheres at 250 °C for 10 min, the AgNW@TiO2 core-shell network is stable at 300 °C, and its resistance just increases by a factor of 11 after annealing at 400 °C for 1 h. Furthermore, the TiO2 shell simultaneously increases the electrical and optical properties of AgNW network. After flowing PI precursors, drying, and thermally curing, the AgNW@TiO2 core-shell network is embedded on the surface of PI substrate with surface roughness of 1.9 nm. In addition to high thermal stability, the conductivity of the AgNWs@TiO2-PI composite FTE remains almost unchanged after repeated 3M tape peeling off cycles and mechanical bending cycles. It is also demonstrated that the AgNWs@TiO2-PI composite FTE is washable, and the relative change in resistance (?R/R0) is ~12% after 100 washing cycles in which a variety of stress situations occurring in combination.

Transforming polymorphs of Co-doped TiO2 nanoparticles: an efficient photo-electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells
摘要： Simple sol–gel assisted spin coating technique was used to prepare cobalt-doped TiO2 films for the application of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). TiO2 photo-electrodes with few Co concentrations (0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075 and 0.1 M) were prepared on conducting glass substrates. The morphology, structure and composition of the Co:TiO2 films were observed using SEM, XRD and EDAX analysis. The average crystallite size of Co:TiO2 nanoparticles obtained from diffractograms are in the range of 3–12 nm. The transformation of polymorphs from anatase to rutile and vice versa for the increasing concentrations of Co in TiO2 films is observed. The values of optical bandgap energy for Co-doped films are observed to be higher than the pure TiO2 film and the highest is for the dopant level of 0.025 M. Doping of 0.1 M Co in TiO2 enhances the power conversion efficiency of DSSC by 65% compared to pure TiO2 film, demonstrating the influence of Co doping on the functioning of DSSC.

Influence of TiO2 structure on its photocatalytic activity towards acetaldehyde decomposition
摘要： Sol-gel method was used for preparation of TiO2 having different structure and phase composition. Prepared titania samples were applied for acetaldehyde decomposition under UV light irradiation. The obtained results showed, that TiO2 consisted from mixed phases of anatase and brookite, which was prepared at neutral pH and calcined at 450 °C was the most active. Charge separation of free carriers was investigated by measurements of electron traps density. It was proved, that density of electron traps can be enhanced by nitrogen doping or by coexisting of two phases such as anatase and brookite. However nitrogen doping to TiO2 did not increase of its photocatalytic activity towards acetaldehyde decomposition. Therefore preparation of TiO2 having mixed phases of anatase and brookite appeared to be the most favourable towards elimination of acetaldehyde under UV at ambient conditions. Moreover, temperature of calcination such as 450 °C was the most optimal, because at that temperature total crystallisation of amorphous titnia occurrs and then interparticle contact increases, which facilitates the interfacial charge transfer between titania particles.

Electro-photocatalytic Fenton Decolorization of Orange G Using Mesoporous TiO2/stainless Steel Mesh Photo-Electrode Prepared by the Sol-Gel Dip-Coating Method
摘要： A photo-electrochemical process is a powerful and eco-friendly method for treating industrial wastewater. Electro-photocatalytic Fenton (EPF) was employed for orange G decolorization using two kinds of photo-electrodes with TiO2 film-coated stainless steel (SS) mesh. These photo-electrodes are prepared by a dip-coating method from the sol-gel-derived TiO2 sols incorporating with various amounts of P25+TiO2 powders (SGDC method). The single dip-coated electrode with the TiO2 sol containing 50 g/L P25 powders possesses similar crystallinity and decolorization performance to the four repetitive dip-coated electrodes with pure TiO2 sol. The kinetics of orange G decolorization using P25+TiO2 film electrode in photocatalytic (PC), electro-Fenton (EF) and EPF processes followed pseudo first-order kinetics model, and the EPF has the highest reaction rate. The efficiency of orange G decolorization achieves 78% via the EPF reaction for 3 h. The SGDC method using the TiO2 sol containing P25 powders not only enhances the TiO2 coating on the SS substrate, but also produces microcracks in the film, that facilitates the in-situ generation of ferrous ions and further induces the EPF reaction for an effective degradation of organic matter in wastewater.
