Summary: The SrSnO3/g-C3N4 composite showed promising results in visible light-mediated photocatalysis in both wet and dry phases, with the dry phase requiring less material and the wet phase exhibiting higher efficiency in organic matter removal. Furthermore, degradation byproducts in the wet phase and powder in the dry phase showed non-toxicity to lettuce seeds post-exposure to sunlight.

Summary: In this study, a g-C3N4/PDI-g-C3N4 homojunction was fabricated for piezo-photocatalytic atrazine removal, demonstrating superior performance compared to individual photocatalysis or piezocatalysis. The introduction of PDI facilitated electron migration and enhanced piezoelectricity, with the homojunction promoting photoelectron transfer. The porous structure of the g-C3N4/PDI-g-C3N4 was found to be essential for the enhanced piezoelectricity, leading to a high atrazine degradation rate and H2O2 production during the piezo-photocatalytic process.

Summary: Vanadium-doped Zinc Silicate (Zn2SiO4) phosphors were synthesized through the sol-gel method and their structure, morphology, and optical behavior were investigated. Vanadium incorporation significantly modified their crystallinity, morphology, and photoluminescence properties. The energy band gap changed from 5.29 to 2.34 eV when vanadium was added. The presence of vanadium dopants generated imperfections in the phosphors, leading to emissions in the visible regions and quantum yield. The average luminescence decay lifetime of the vanadium-doped Zn2SiO4 phosphors was measured to be 11.7 ns.

Summary: This study reports the influence of the rare-earth metal ion yttrium on the physical properties of co-precipitation-derived ZnO nanoparticles. The results show that the inclusion of yttrium does not alter the crystal structure of ZnO but increases the crystallite size and forms a secondary phase. Changes in the optical properties and photoluminescence investigations indicate the formation of defect levels due to yttrium doping. Additionally, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, elemental mapping, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are used to analyze the functional groups, constituent elements, and surface morphology of the doped nanoparticles.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of high-valence dopant molybdenum on the magnetic characteristics of zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanocrystals. The structural analysis shows that molybdenum doping does not affect the cubic phase of ZnS lattice, with only a slight decline in crystallinity. The introduction of 3% molybdenum results in a redshift of the bandgap and the presence of zinc and sulfur-related vacancies and surface defects confirmed by photoluminescence spectroscopy. The nanocrystals exhibit mixed magnetism, with ferromagnetic characteristics at low applied fields and diamagnetic nature at high applied fields, with a maximum coercivity of 247 Oe and the lowest retentivity of 78 mu emu/g observed for the ZnS nanocrystals with 3% molybdenum. The findings of this study may have implications for dilute magnetic semiconductor applications.
