Summary: Novel Tb-doped TiO2 hollow spheres (HSs) have been synthesized for the first time in the range of 0.0-2.0 at.%, revealing a significant impact of Tb presence and morphology on the anatase-to-rutile transition temperature. Contrary to expectations, Tb doping reduces the transition temperature and favors rutile phase formation in HSs. XPS measurements confirm the presence of Tb3+ and Tb4+ in both HSs and NPs, with Tb4+ contributing to weakened f-f emission intensity and destabilization of the anatase phase.

Summary: The research shows that CuOx-rutile is more suitable for the oxidation of ammonia gas under visible light compared to CuOx-anatase, contrary to previous beliefs. Further analysis revealed that the interaction between CuOx and TiO2 differs significantly in different crystal phases, resulting in distinct directions of charge transfer.

Summary: We synthesized 1D TiO2-based nanofilaments by reacting Ti-containing precursors with quaternary ammonium hydroxides at near-ambient conditions. The structure was previously believed to be anatase-based, but we now conclude that it is actually a 1D titania lepidocrocite-based structure. The NFs grow along [100] and tend to self-assemble/stack in two directions. The band gap is not affected by the nature of the cations surrounding the NFs.

Summary: The catalytic performances of TiO2-supported Ni catalysts for the methanation of CO2 are investigated, showing that the crystalline phases of TiO2 significantly affect the activity of Ni. Mixing rutile and anatase TiO2 can increase the reaction rate significantly without direct contact between the two catalysts. The synergy between the two catalysts is attributed to hydrogen spillover mediated by surface or gas-phase species.

Summary: This study aims to clarify the differences between titanium dioxide polymorphs and their properties in different photocatalytic applications. Homophase titanium dioxide has disadvantages such as high recombination rates and low adsorption capacity. On the other hand, heterophase titanium dioxide can effectively stimulate electron transfer and exhibit superior photocatalytic performance. Various biphase and triphase polymorphs of titanium dioxide are discussed, and the focus is on the synthesis and application of heterophase titanium dioxide as a photocatalyst.

Summary: The study explores the relative stability of anatase and rutile in stagnation flame synthesis with stoichiometric mixtures. It shows high sensitivity of anatase-rutile composition to flame dilution and discusses two formation mechanisms/pathways. By applying a particle model and a phase transformation model, it is found that anatase formation is favored in more dilute flames while rutile is favored in less dilute flames.

Summary: In the light-triggered oxidation of phenol over TiO2 with noble metal loading, supported noble metals act as visible light absorbers, assist in charge separation, and catalyze the production of O-2(-), resulting in mild oxidation products and the mineralization of phenol to CO2 by center dot OH radicals. The presence of supported noble metals enhances the oxidative conversion of phenol through the interplay between center dot OH and O-2(-) production.

Summary: A novel analytical formalism based on the Quantum heat transport equation is proposed to describe the interaction between femtosecond/picosecond laser pulses and DNA. The formalism generates solutions based on inputs such as voltage, laser beam intensity, and laser-DNA interaction time. Thermal waves induced inside irradiated DNA are accounted for. Analytical simulations show that the optimal regime of laser-DNA interaction occurs when a potential carrier generated at the interface is equal to 3.5 x 10-3 eV. It should be noted that the formalism breaks down if the potential carrier generated at the interface is less than 10-2 eV. Additionally, for pulse durations less than 1 ps, the spatial-temporal distribution of the laser beam plays a crucial role in defining the shape and magnitude of the thermal distribution within the irradiated DNA strands.

Summary: The structural properties of VO2 thin films grown on LSAT or Si substrates by PLD were investigated using TEM methods. The successful growth of VO2 in variable thicknesses was confirmed by optimizing the O-2 partial pressure and growth temperature. The films exhibited a columnar polycrystalline morphology with narrow columns, and four VO2 polymorphs were detected. Strain measurements revealed that the residual strain was minimized due to the columnar morphology and intrinsic oxide layers. The complementary electrical and magnetic measurements confirmed a transition from the M1 to the R phase in thick VO2 films, influenced by the initial phase percentage.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.

Summary: In the study of BM-SCO and HSCO thin films, it was found that H vacancies tend to prefer sites near the external surface or oxygen vacancy channels (OVCs), while H interstitials prefer sites of oxygen on a layer that contains six-fold coordinated Co. These findings not only enrich the understanding of complex surface phenomena of defect formation but also provide an explanation for the reversibility during phase transformation.
