چکیده
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) micro and nano architectures have been intensively studied in 15 the past years because of many varied applications in environmental, energy conversion, and 16 storage fields, such as heterogeneous catalysis, dye-sensitized solar cells, lithium/sodium ion 17 batteries, lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, and bio-nanotechnology, etc. Especially the surface and 18 interface structures in the TiO2 structures play important roles in those applications. This mini 19 review article focuses on TiO2 micro and nano architectures with the prevalent crystal structures 20 (anatase, rutile, brookite, and TiO2(B)), and summarizes major advances in the surface and 21 interface engineering and applications in environmental and electrochemical applications. We 22 present the principles and growth mechanisms of TiO2 nanostructures via different strategies, with 23 an emphasis on rational control of the surface and interface structures. We further discuss the 24 applications of TiO2 micro and nano architectures in photocatalysis, lithium/sodium ion batteries, 25 and Li-S batteries. Throughout the discussion, the relationship between the device performance 26 and the surface structures of TiO2 micro/nano structures will be highlighted. Then we discuss the 27 phase transitions of TiO2 nanostructures and possible strategies of improving the phase stability. 28 The review concludes with a perspective on the current challenges and future research directions. 29

A Characteristic-based Numerical Simulation of Water-titanium Dioxide Nano-fluid in Closed Domains
A new characteristic-based method is developed and used for solving the mixed and forced convection problems. The nano-fluid flow with heat transfer is simulated with a novel characteristic-based scheme in closed domains with different aspect ratios. For this purpose, a FORTRAN code has been written and developed. Water as a pure fluid and water-titanium dioxide as a nano-fluid were considered....
