Summary: This work systematically investigates the doping of sulfide ions (S2-) on photoactive MIL-53(Fe) and evaluates its performance. The study found that doping can influence the optical band-gap energy of materials, but this does not always lead to improved performance in photocatalytic reactions, especially for hybrid materials like Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs). By varying the percentage of dopant in the reaction mixture, the study explored the effects of doping on the structural conformations and optical properties of MIL-53(Fe), demonstrating changes in band-gap energy and electron cloud expansion. The best performance in terms of MB degradation was observed for 1% S doped MIL-53(Fe) and the material showed stability even after multiple cycles, indicating potential for practical applications.

Summary: MIL-101(Fe)/WS2 catalyst was synthesized using a solvothermal method. The physical and chemical properties of the composite material were studied using various characterizations. The photocatalysis of the catalyst in the degradation of tetracycline under visible light illumination was investigated using persulfate as a cocatalyst. The catalyst showed high efficiency in removing tetracycline, with a removal rate of over 80% within 40 minutes. The material also demonstrated good recycling capability after multiple cyclic experiments. The enhanced performance of the catalyst was attributed to the reduction of photogenerated electron-hole recombination efficiency and the activation of persulfate to produce free radicals.

Summary: Visible-light-driven type II BiVO4/NH2-MIL-53(Fe) (BNMF) heterostructures were successfully synthesized through a facile stepwise hydrothermal method. The BNMF-30 sample showed enhanced photocatalytic activity, attributed to the tight joint interface between BiVO4 and NH2-MIL-53(Fe) which facilitates charge carrier separation and extends light absorption range. Additionally, NH2-MIL-53(Fe) component aids in pollutant adsorption, accelerating oxidation-reduction kinetics at the interface. The main active radicals for enhanced catalytic performance were identified as (OH)-O-center dot, O-center dot(2)-, and h(+).

Summary: The study demonstrates that the exposure of different facets in the iron-based MOF MIL-88B(Fe) correlates closely with catalytic activity, with MIL-88B(Fe)-1 showing the best catalytic performance. Presence of Cl, SO42, and NO3 inhibits the degradation of IBP, and the optimum PS dosage used was 60 mg/L. XPS analysis revealed that MIL-88B(Fe)-1 had more Fe2+ content. This work provides new insights into the synergism between photocatalysis and persulfate activation by facet-controlled MOFs for environmental remediation.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
