Summary: A novel Bi2O3/BiVO4/Ag3VO4 (BBA) heterojunction photocatalyst was synthesized via a two-step hydrothermal/solvothermal procedure, with the optimal BVO/AVO molar ratio being unity. The BBA demonstrated enhanced photocatalytic performance, with the rate constant of the Vis. photocatalysis of the degradation of RR2 being significantly higher compared to BOS, BVO, AVO and BA(1) photocatalysts. This improvement was attributed to the reduced recombination probability of the photo-generated electrons and holes in BBA.

Summary: The use of photocatalysts is a promising method for the removal of Cr (VI) and rhodamine dyes in wastewater treatment. This study synthesized a composite of carbon nitride (C3N4), zinc oxide (ZnO), and black phosphorus (BP) and investigated its photocatalytic ability for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and detoxification of hexavalent chromium ion. The composite showed high efficiency in removing RhB and reducing hexavalent chromium, and the active species involved in the photocatalysis process were identified. The composite also exhibited impressive charge separation and low recombination, resulting in higher photocurrent density compared to the individual semiconductors. The band gap values and the double Z-scheme mechanism of the composite were determined through various experiments and analysis. The results highlight the potential of this composite as an efficient and environmentally friendly photocatalyst for wastewater treatment.

Summary: A novel mesoporous Ag3VO4/TiO2 nanocomposites were constructed using a low-cost sol-gel approach, showing superior visible light-induced photocatalytic abilities in tetracycline degradation compared to pure TiO2 and P-25 photocatalysts. The 3% Ag3VO4/TiO2 nanocomposite exhibited the highest photocatalytic ability among all synthesized nanocomposites, completely degrading tetracycline under visible illumination within 90 min. The increased photocatalytic ability was attributed to the efficient separation of interface charge and the synergistic effects between Ag3VO4 and TiO2. This study provides valuable insights for the development of highly effective visible light photocatalysts in practical applications.

Summary: The development of efficient and selective photocatalytic materials for renewable energy-based organic synthetic processes has become increasingly important. In this study, a visible-light-driven BiOI/Bi2WO6 (BI/BW) microflower heterostructure was reported as a photocatalyst for the selective oxidation of benzylamines and its derivatives. Decorating the hydrothermally prepared Bi2WO6 with BiOI significantly improved benzylamine conversion and selectivity to desired imine products. These outstanding performances are attributed to enhanced electron-hole separation and transfer efficiency, as well as a greater preference for adsorption of benzylamine and extended visible-light absorption range.

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 research developed an effective approach to enhance the charging rates of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) by strategically incorporating carbon nanotube (CNT) conductivity boosters into Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) electrodes. Multi-layer architectures comprising CNT-rich and CNT-free LTO electrode layers were manufactured using a layer-by-layer spray coating method to promote charge transfer kinetics of high mass loading electrodes. The best performing multi-layer was paired with a spray-coated LiFePO4 (LFP) positive electrode, resulting in attractive power performance that outperformed conventional LTO || LFP combinations.

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.
