A totally homogeneous, molecular, visible-light-driven water oxidation system is reported. The three components are (i) a catalyst, 1 (a RuIV4O4 cluster stabilized by oxidatively resistant [SiW10O32]8- ligands); (ii) photosensitizer, [Ru(bpy)3]2+; and (iii) sacrificial electron acceptor, S2O82−. Dioxygen formed rapidly with an initial turnover frequency of ∼8 × 10−2 s−1 estimated quantum yield (defined as the number O2 molecules per two photons absorbed) ∼9%.

Strength is usually compromised with toughness of polymer blends. We report a new way to synchronously strengthen and toughen typical blend epoxy resin/nitrile-butadiene rubber (EP/LNBR) Janus nanosheets (JNs). The silica-based JNs contain reactive epoxide group nitrile-butadiene on the opposite sides. They are robust high strength toughness. covalently bound at EP/LNBR interface upon blending cross-linking, which can effectively transfer stress in between two phases. At saturation coverage...

Broadband absorption of electromagnetic waves in different wavelength regions is desired for applications ranging from highly efficient solar cells, waste heat harvesting, multi-color infrared (IR) detection to sub-ambient radiative cooling. Taper-shaped structures made up alternating metal/dielectric multilayers offer the broadest bandwidth so far, but face a trade-off between optical performance and material choice, i.e., those with utilize exclusively CMOS-incompatible materials,...
