Summary: In this paper, Cu-2(OH)(3)F/BiOBr composite materials with exposed (010) facets were used to degrade tetracycline hydrochloride solution through the photo-Fenton-like system. The results showed a high degradation efficiency and activity, with the degradation efficiency maintained at a high level even after multiple cycles. The high exposure of the (010) crystal plane facilitated electron transport and Cu2+ ion conversion while slowing down electron-hole recombination. Capturing free radicals revealed that OH, O-2(-), and h(+) were the main active components. A mechanism for the Cu-2(OH)(3)F/BiOBr (010) heterojunction photo-Fenton-like synergistic degradation was proposed.

Summary: Photosynthesis is a vital process for storing solar energy as chemical energy, and the efficiency of this process is crucial. In this study, the turnover efficiency of different S states in the Photosystem II reaction was quantified using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The results showed that the turnover efficiencies were limited by reactions occurring in the water oxidizing complex. Structural changes and chemical events during the reaction cycle were found to be correlated to the low efficiencies. These findings were confirmed by measurements of flash-induced oxygen release patterns and explained based on S state dependent structural changes at the CaMn4O5-cluster.

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.
