Conventional wastewater treatment technologies can not efficiently remove PPCPs from water. In this study, a new photocatalyst, CdS quantum dots (QDs) modified nitrogen-doped TiO2 plates (NTP) with dominated 001 facets, was explored to decompose diclofenac (DCF), one of PPCPs. The results show that CdS QDs were dispersed on the surface of NTP uniformly with strong interface interaction due to the special preparation procedure, where thiolactic acid was used as a linker to bind CdS QDs on NTP in situ.This NTP/CdS system presented much high photocatalytic activity for the mineralization of DCF under visible light irradiation, and its reaction rate constant was significantly enhanced to 1.95 times of NTP and 2.88 times of CdS, respectively. The photocatalytic activity improvement could be attributed to the enhancement of visible light absorption and the reduction of electron-hole pair recombination rate, which were resulted from N-doping, preferred crystallographic orientation and the strong interaction between NTP and highly dispersed CdS QDs.}, author = {Shi, Jian-Wen and Wang, Zhenyu and He, Chi and Wang, Hongkang and Chen, Jian-Wei and Fu, Ming-Lai and Li, Guodong and Niu, Chunming}, doi = {10.1016/j.molcata.2015.01.030}, journal = {Journal of Molecular Catalysis A: Chemical}, month = {apr}, pages = {79-85}, title = {CdS quantum dots modified N-doped titania plates for the photocatalytic mineralization of diclofenac in water under visible light irradiation}, url = {https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Zhenyu_Wang23/publication/271832402_CdS_quantum_dots_modified_N-doped_titania_plates_for_the_photocatalytic_mineralization_of_diclofenac_in_water_under_visible_light_irradiation/links/56527f3208aefe619b18ce22.pdf}, volume = {399}, year = {2015} } @article{Wang2014, abstract = {The synthesis of tin–titanate nanotubes (Sn-titanate) by reacting hydrogen titanate (H-titanate) with a tin salt through ion adsorption–incorporation is reported. The interactions between tin(II) ions and H-titanate are thoroughly investigated. Tin ions can be easily adsorbed by H-titanate, owing to its large surface area and lattice spacing, and the negatively charged layered structures. With Sn-titanate nanotubes as precursors, Sn-doped TiO2 nanoparticles are prepared by annealing and are investigated as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries, which show much enhanced capacity and rate capability. Such improved electrochemical properties of Sn-doped TiO2 benefit from structural characteristics such as the small size of the constituent nanoparticles, high crystallinity, and uniform tin doping. This synthetic strategy towards Sn-doped TiO2 anode materials, thus offers the synergistic effect of combining the advantages of TiO2 (cycle life and rate) and SnO2 (high capacity).}, author = {Wang, Hongkang and Xi, Liujiang and Tucek, Jiri and Ma, Chuansheng and Yang, Guang and Leung, Michael K.

In terms of the lithium storage mechanisms, TiO2 anodes operate on the base of the Li ion intercalation–deintercalation, and they typically display long cycling life and high rate capability, arising from the negligible cell volume change during the discharge–charge process, while their performance is limited by low specific capacity and low electronic conductivity. SnOx anodes rely on the alloying–dealloying reaction with Li ions, and typically exhibit large specific capacity but poor cycling performance, originating from the extremely large volume change and thus the resultant pulverization problems. Making use of their advantages and minimizing the disadvantages, numerous strategies have been developed in the recent years to design composite nanostructured Sn–Ti–O ternary systems. This Review aims to provide rational understanding on their design and the improvement of electrochemical properties of such systems, including SnOx–TiO2 nanocomposites mixing at nanoscale and nanostructured SnxTi1-xO2 solid solutions doped at the atomic level, as well as their combinations with carbon-based nanomaterials.}, author = {Wang, Hongkang and Huang, He and Niu, Chunming and
