چکیده
Brookite positively affects solar photocatalysis, electrocatalysis and electrochemical applications by stabilizing photogenerated e ? /h + pairs. Brookite-related heterojunctions, cus Ti atoms, surface acidity redox behaviour are crucial aspects.

Brookite: Nothing New under the Sun?
Advances in the synthesis of pure brookite and brookite-based TiO2 materials have opened the way to fundamental and applicative studies of the once least known TiO2 polymorph. Brookite is now recognized as an active phase, in some cases showing enhanced performance with respect to anatase, rutile or their mixture. The peculiar structure of brookite determines its distinct electronic properties,...
متن کاملScVO4 under non-hydrostatic compression: a new metastable polymorph.
The high-pressure (HP) behaviour of scandium vanadate (ScVO4) is investigated under non-hydrostatic compression. The compound is studied by means of synchrotron-based powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) and optical-absorption techniques. The occurrence of a non-reversible phase transition is detected. The transition is from the zircon structure to the fergusonite-type structure and takes place aroun...
متن کاملBrookite TiO2 nanoflowers.
Pure brookite TiO(2) nanoflowers consisting of single crystalline nanorods were synthesized for the first time using a facile one-step hydrothermal process.
متن کاملA polymorph of terephthalaldehyde
A new ortho-rhom-bic polymorph of terephthalaldehyde, C(8)H(6)O(2), with a melting point of 372 K, has been obtained by recrystallization from ethanol. At room temperature, the crystals transform into the well known monoclinic form, with a melting point of 389 K. The crystal structure of the monoclinic form involves C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, but no such bonds are observed in the orthorhombic form. ...
متن کاملBrookite, the Least Known TiO2 Photocatalyst
Brookite is the least studied TiO2 photocatalyst due to the difficulties usually encountered in order to obtain it as a pure phase. In this review, a comprehensive survey of the different methods available for preparing brookite powders and films is reported. Attention has been paid both to the most traditional methods, such as hydrothermal processes at high temperatures and pressures, and to e...
