Summary: There is limited data regarding the corrosion rates of reinforcements in marine conditions. In this study, long-term corrosion rates were examined for both small specimens and large reinforced concrete blocks in direct contact with natural seawater. The small specimens had embedded bars at different cover depths, with corrosion rates measured periodically over a span of 10 to 23 years using the polarization resistance method. The large blocks, which had been semi-buried for approximately 25 years in a tidal area of a beach in Spain, had their corrosion rates measured only four times. Surprisingly, the bars showed no signs of corrosion despite high contamination at a cover depth of 3 cm. Additionally, the statistical distribution of corrosion rates in other marine structures is presented.

Summary: The study demonstrates a strategy of constructing dual-defects in hierarchically modified black TiO2 nanotube array to enhance photocatalytic activity. The coexistence of dual-defects reduces band-gap, preserves thermodynamic capabilities, and forms a built-in electric field for efficient charge transfer. The broadening of light absorption and acceleration of photogenerated charge transfer induced by correct concentration and distribution of dual-defects realize the tradeoff between thermodynamic and kinetic factors.

Summary: A novel defect engineering approach was developed to form the SnxNb1-xO2 solid solution, which demonstrated a much better photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance compared to the pristine SnO2 sample. The main photocatalytic CO2 reduction product of the solid solution sample was the multi-carbon (C2+) compound of C2H5OH, while the pristine SnO2 sample produced the one-carbon (C-1) compound of CH3OH. This work showed that heavy doping of high valence cations in metal oxides to form solid solutions can enhance photocatalytic CO2 reduction and modulate the reduction process, producing more C2+ products.

Summary: The absorption of visible light in mixed-linker metal-organic frameworks can be enhanced by incorporating organic ligands as reaction sites. In this study, a dual-ligand Cu-based MOF was successfully synthesized by introducing an amino-functionalized organic ligand (NH2BDC) into the structure of CuBDC. The highest Faradaic efficiency of CO (51.5%) was achieved when the molar ratio of NH2BDC was 10%. NH2BDC can effectively improve the visible light absorption ability of MOFs and synergistically enhance the Faradaic efficiency of the reduction products through the coordination with Cu-O clusters and the adsorption of CO2 molecules.

Summary: The team synthesized an Ag/Cu2O photocatalyst using a low-temperature deposition method and a dynamic hydrogen bubble template method, and found that the catalyst exhibited excellent performance in photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The Ag/Cu2O photocatalyst had a porous nanostructure and significantly improved the yield and selectivity of CO. Through analysis using density functional theory and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, it was discovered that Ag loading changed the adsorption configuration of CO2, improving the selectivity of CO. Additionally, the Ag/Cu2O Schottky junction accelerated the surface reaction kinetics by enhancing the separation and transportation of photogenerated carriers. Therefore, this study provides an idea for the development of high-efficient photocatalysts for photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

Summary: A key issue in artificial photosynthesis is how to improve the separation and transport efficiency of photo-generated carriers. This study investigates the use of facet effect to enhance the photocatalytic performance of SrTiO3 (STO) photocatalysts. By applying the molten salt method, the researchers successfully obtained 26-facet STO with high-energy {111} facets, which exhibited superior photocatalytic CO2 reduction properties compared to common 6-facet STO and 18-facet STO. The improvement in performance is attributed to the strong internal electric field generated by the difference in work function between the anisotropic facets.
