Summary: In this work, NiFe2O4@NiO (1:0, 0.9:0.1, 0.7:0.3, 0.5:0.5, and 0:1) nanocomposites were prepared using a co-precipitation process to investigate their structural, dielectric, and optical properties for potential application in wastewater treatment. XRD, FTIR spectroscopy, and TEM were used to study the structural and morphological properties. The particle size was found to increase with nickel oxide content, and the oxidation state was determined using XPS. The impedance, dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and ac conductivity were observed to increase with nickel oxide concentration. The (0.5NiFe(2)O(4)/0.5NiO) nanocomposite exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity, degrading 95.41% of methylene blue dye within 120 min.

Summary: This study reports the use of bacterial cells for the biosynthesis of Au@TiO2 as an efficient catalyst for the degradation of methylene blue. The bio-Au2@TiO2 catalyst showed the highest catalytic activity with a kinetics constant of 0.195 min(-1), and maintained stable activity for up to 10 cycles. The presence of Au nanoparticles on the bio-TiO2 layers decreased the band gap energy of TiO2, leading to the generation of abundant photogeneration hydroxyl radicals and enhanced photocatalytic activity.

Summary: TiO2/MXene composites were synthesized and showed enhanced removal efficiency for methylene blue (MB) dye. The removal rate of MB by TiO2/MXene composite materials was 96.44% under ultraviolet light, 29.83% higher than pure TiO2. Under visible light, the removal rate of MB was 8.26 times higher (40.19%) than pure TiO2. This enhancement was attributed to improved charge antirecombination and high adsorption capability toward MB.

Summary: In this study, TiO2-F127f-/MWCNT nanocatalysts were prepared and used for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under ultrasonic conditions. The morphological and chemical properties of TiO2-F127/MWCNT nanocatalysts were characterized using TEM, SEM, and XRD analyses. The optimal parameters for MB degradation were determined through various experimental conditions. The results showed that TiO2-F127/f-MWCNT nanocatalysts had a homogenous structure and a particle size of 12.23 nm, while TiO2-F127/MWCNT nanocatalysts had a crystalline particle size of 13.31 nm. The COD removal efficiency reached a maximum of 92% under the optimum conditions.

Summary: This study reports the synthesis and characterization of mono and bimetal doped TiO2-based photocatalysts using Bi and Fe metals prepared via wet impregnation method. The photocatalytic performances of the synthesized catalysts were tested for the degradation of methylene blue. It was found that 1%Bi/TiO2 (w/w) showed the best photocatalytic performance, achieving 80% degradation of 50 ppm MB solution within two hours. Monometallic doping showed better performance compared to bimetallic doping of Bi and Fe, which was attributed to the agglomeration effect accelerating recombination of electrons and holes.

Summary: The complexes of He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe with B3N3H6 were investigated using MP2, CCSD(T), and SAPT ab initio methods. The complexes can be described as mono-, di-, and tri-coordinated to the N atoms, with stability following the order N-mono < N-di < N-tri. The interactions are dominated by dispersion and the binding energies are within the range of 1 or 2 kcal mol(-1). The results were compared with a recent DFT study on larger BN sheets complexes [Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 24 (2022) 2554-2566.].

Summary: It has been found that the introduction of buffer layers improves the electrical performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SSOFCs). In this study, varying ratios of Gd-doped CeO2 were used as buffer layers in YSZ-based SSOFCs. The results demonstrate that the performance of SSOFCs is enhanced when a buffer layer is added, with the highest performance achieved using Ce0.8Gd0.2O2-delta (GDC20) as the buffer layer. This suggests that the use of GDC series buffer layers is an attractive strategy to optimize performance loss due to electrolyte-electrode interactions.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of aspect ratio and quantum confinement on the single-photon and two-photon absorption cross-section of perovskite CsPbI3 nanorods. Experimental data shows that CsPbI3 nanorods have an extremely high two-photon absorption cross-section, significantly surpassing organic chromophores and other CsPbBr3 nanocrystals. Moreover, adjusting the aspect ratio can significantly enhance the absorption ability. Additionally, the study also reveals a moderate quantum confinement effect on the single-photon and two-photon absorption cross-section of the nanorods.

Summary: Drug-loaded cellulose diacetate (CDA) membranes were prepared using different compositions of mixed solvent. The microstructure and performance of the membranes were investigated, and a method to predict drug release properties was proposed. The results showed that the composition of the mixed solvent significantly affected the overall performance of CDA membranes, and the release rates of drugs were related to Δdelta and the intrinsic viscosity of CDA.
