Summary: This study introduces a ternary hybrid solar desalination process that combines photoelectrocatalytic water treatment and H-2 production in a single device. The desalination process is initiated by photoinduced charge generation using a TiO2 nanorod array photoanode, while H-2 production is achieved at a high Faradaic efficiency with a composite catalyst. The production of reactive chlorine species from chlorides in the anolyte contributes to the decomposition of urea, overall reducing the energy consumption for desalination.

Summary: In this study, CeO2 is modified through a plasma-phosphating combing strategy and invited as Frustrated Lewis Pair to assist the catalytic MOR process on Pt sites. This strategy also leads to negatively charged sites on CeO2 surface as a host for Pt anchoring, facilitating the even dispersion of Pt nanocrystals. Moreover, this strategy affects the Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio and vacancy oxygen ratio on CeO2 surface, which are critical for OH generation and anti-CO.

Summary: This study investigates the reaction of photogenerated charges on {131} and {2 0 0} facets of bismuth tungstate (Bi2WO6) films under constantly applied bias in a photoelectrochemical cell. The {2 0 0} facets show lower overpotential and faster charge transfer rate constant for PEC water oxidation compared to the {131} facet. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate the correlation between the rate-determining step, major formed intermediate, charge accumulation, and reaction orders. The findings provide fundamental insights for the rational design and precise modulation of surface charge density and reaction kinetics in efficient (photo)electrocatalysts.

Summary: Piezoelectric mesocrystals with different oxygen-vacancies (OVs) concentrations were studied to investigate the effect of defect content on the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) piezo-activation. The ZnO piezoelectric mesocrystal with moderate OVs concentration showed a rapid antibiotic ornidazole (ORZ) degradation rate and high PMS utilization efficiency. The relationship between OVs concentration and piezocatalytic properties were quantitatively established through calculations of electron property and reactants affinity. This work provides theoretical guidance for enhancing piezocatalytic performance in mesocrystals through defect engineering.

In this study, a piezoelectric odd-layered MoS 2 is employed to catalytically degrade tinidazole (TNZ) and other antibiotic pollutants under aeration by generating reactive oxygen species with dissolved oxygen. The results demonstrate that MoS 2 can trigger a piezoelectric effect and produce charge carriers, leading to contaminant degradation with the turbulence and water bubbles rupture driven by aeration.

Summary: With the increasing consumption of fossil fuels, the rapid increase in CO2 emissions has led to energy crisis and climate problems. Converting CO2 directly to high-value chemical fuels through solar energy harvesting provides a solution to these problems. This review focuses on the physicochemical properties and synthesis methods of metal halide perovskites (MHPs), as well as the advancements in strategies for enhancing the photocatalytic CO2 conversion to solar fuels, such as size and facets effects, ion doping or exchange, anchored cocatalysts, semiconductor heterojunctions, and Pb-free MHPs. The challenges of stability and toxicity, photocatalytic activity and selectivity, prospects of theoretical calculations, and potential applications of MHPs in solar cell devices and catalysis are also discussed. This review sheds light on the development of efficient MHPs for industrial applications in CO2 reduction.

Summary: The AUV/chlorine/AC-TiO2 process achieves efficient micropollutant abatement and DBP control by enhancing HO center dot production and DBP in situ adsorption, respectively. The use of activated carbon (AC) in the process results in higher degradation rates and reduced formation of undesired disinfection byproducts (DBPs). AC acts as an electron conductor and DO adsorbent, leading to increased levels of HO center dot and decreased formation of DBPs. This study provides a new strategy for designing catalysts with photocatalytic and adsorption properties to improve micropollutant abatement and DBP control in the UV/chlorine process.

Summary: To enhance the utilization of clean energy and achieve carbon neutrality, we developed three-phase connected ternary tandem heterojunctions for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Density functional theory revealed diverse bonding rings, suggesting a unique electron transfer mechanism. In situ XPS and other characterizations were employed to thoroughly investigate the ring electron transfer. The incorporation of a mid-component altered the electron transfer pathway and improved the photocatalytic efficiency, resulting in a 14.6% enhancement compared to traditional tandem heterojunctions. This study provides valuable insights into the design, construction, and optimization of photocatalyst structures and exciton transfer mechanisms.

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.
