Hierarchically one-dimensional nanomaterials represent a kind of promising catalyst for photocatalytic of hydrogen generation, where the photoinduced charge carriers can effectively separate and be engaged in the target reaction. Herein, we report the synthesis of hierarchically one-dimensional ZnxCd1-xS/NiTiO3 nanofibers and the investigations of their photocatalytic performance. These well-designed nanofibers demonstrate a typically one-dimensional heterostructure with an excellent continuity, and the element mapping, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy collectively confirm the ZnxCd1-xS nanoparticles being decorated on the surface of NiTiO3 nanofibers successfully. The ZnxCd1-xS/NiTiO3 nanofibers exhibit enhanced efficiency in photocatalytic hydrogen production under visible light, compared with the ZnxCd1-xS/TiO2 nanofibers. …


In Situ Fabrication Of Branched Tio2/C Nanofibers As Binder‐Free And Free‐Standing Anodes For High‐Performance Sodium‐Ion Batteries, Ling Wang, Guorui Yang, Jianan Wang, Silan Wang, Caiyun Wang, Shengjie Peng, Wei Yan, Seeram Ramakrishna Jan 2019

Herein, 1D free-standing and binder-free hierarchically branched TiO2/C nanofibers (denoted as BT/C NFs) based on an in situ fabrication method as an anode for sodium-ion batteries are reported. The in situ fabrication endows this material with large surface area and strong structural stability, providing this material with abundant active sites and smooth channels for fast ion transportation. As a result, BT/C NFs with the character of free-standing membranes are directly used as binder-free anode for sodium-ion batteries, delivering a capacity of 284 mA h g−1 at a current density of 200 mA g−1 after 1000 cycles. Even at a high …
