Summary: The CdS/CaTiO3 cubic core-shell composite with remarkable photocatalytic activity and stability is synthesized. It outperforms single CaTiO3 and single CdS in terms of both photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and photodegradation. The improved carrier efficiency in the composite is attributed to the appropriate potential gradient and better visible light response of CdS, while the cubic core-shell microstructure provides more active sites for the reactions.

Summary: In this study, high-quality orthorhombic and cubic CsPbBr3 single crystals were successfully grown, and the correlation between the photoelectrical properties and crystal structures was investigated. It was found that even though cubic CsPbBr3 has a longer carrier lifetime, hysteresis behaviors and overshoot in the photocurrent were observed as the light illumination intensity increased, while orthorhombic CsPbBr3 exhibited excellent response ability and stability.

Summary: Research shows that colloidal PbS NPLs may have an orthorhombic crystal structure instead of the rock-salt structure found in bulk materials. Calculations indicate that quantum confinement along the a crystallographic axis strengthens the indirect band gap, while confinement along the b and c axes favors a direct band gap.

Summary: Different from traditional dye sensitization, this work achieves electrostatic interaction under irradiation by using electron trapping sites and positively charged rhodamine B dye molecules. The surface oxygen vacancies of Bi2MoO6 gather electrons and tightly bind to the positive dye molecules, reducing the oxidized dyes and participating in the photocatalytic degradation of levofloxacin. The cyclic path formed by the newly aggregated electrons on the oxygen vacancies greatly reduces electron-hole recombination, increasing the efficiency of levofloxacin degradation under LED irradiation.

Summary: The use of coral-like HTiOF3 as a template for constructing small-scale nanomaterials has been found to effectively remove antibiotics, such as oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC), from wastewater. Among the synthesized nanomaterials, F-H2Ti3O7 (KOH-HTF) exhibited excellent OTC degradation activity (92%). The 3D flower-like morphology of KOH-HTF enhanced its OTC adsorption capacity, and the co-modification of lattice fluorine and surface fluorine improved the activation of OTC molecules and the migration of photogenerated electrons and holes.

Summary: An efficient method for phosphate removal from wastewater is urgently needed due to the environmental issue caused by excessive phosphorus. In this study, calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-LDHs) and six amino acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-amino acid-LDHs) were prepared and compared for their phosphate adsorption performance. L-Aspartic acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-Asp-LDHs) exhibited the highest phosphate adsorption capacity and faster removal rate compared to CaAl-LDHs. The phosphate adsorption mechanism on CaAl-Asp-LDHs involved electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonds, complexation, and ion exchange. This environmentally friendly material shows promising potential for efficient phosphate removal from aquatic environments.

Summary: Studying the diffusion properties of hydrogen is important for designing new proton conductors. In the past, the chemical diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in proton conductors was usually obtained through a manual calculation method, resulting in difficulty in controlling the calculation accuracy. To address this issue, a mathematical algorithm and C language computer program were developed to calculate the chemical diffusion coefficient based on Fick's second law and Romberg numerical integral. The algorithm showed high precision and powerful computing function, and has the potential to replace the manual calculation method in calculating the chemical diffusion coefficient for hydrogen in proton conductors.
