Photocatalysts possessing high efficiency in degrading aquatic organic pollutants are highly desirable. Although graphene-based nanocomposites exhibit excellent photocatalytic properties, the role of graphene has been largely underestimated. Herein, photothermal effect is demonstrated to play an important enhanced performance, which not considered previously. In our study on degradation (methylene blue), contribution caused by a nanocomposite consisting P25 and reduced oxide can be as ∼38%...
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) underpins many aspects of energy storage and conversion in modern industry technology, but which still be suffering from the dilemma sluggish kinetics poor electrochemical performance. Different viewpoint nanostructuring, this work focuses on an intriguing dynamic orbital hybridization approach to renormalize disordering spin configuration porous noble-metal-free metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) accelerate spin-dependent OER. Herein, we propose...
Glycine was adsorbed on the surface of a well-defined silica from aqueous solutions variable concentrations and pHs. The molecules were characterized using middle-IR UV−vis−NIR spectroscopies. Except at lowest pH (2.0), they predominantly present as zwitterions. Two successive deposition mechanisms evidenced with increasing glycine concentration. At low concentrations, is specifically sites, probably through its NH3+ moiety. dependence suggests that these sites may be silanolate groups...
Solar steam generation provides a renewable and environmentally friendly approach to solve the water shortage issue. The pursuit of efficient, stable, cheap photothermal agents is thus great significance. In this work, Cu nanoparticles (NPs) fabricated simply by substitution reaction, exhibit near-unity (∼97.7%) light absorption, covering broad incident angle wavelength range (200–1300 nm). Thereby, high conversion efficiency 93% achieved. excellent performance offers unique opportunity for...
We synthesized the hydrogenated cagelike TiO2 hollow spheres through a facile sacrificial template method. After hydrogenation treatment, disordered surface layer and pores were generated on shell of spheres. The exhibit high hydrogen evolution rate 212.7 ± 10.6 μmol h–1 (20 mg) under simulated solar light irradiation, which is ∼12 times higher than solid ∼9 original activity results from unique architectures hydrogenation. Both multiple reflection that was improved by structures red shift...
Fe2O3 is a promising semiconductor for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water decomposition. However, severe charge recombination problems limit its applications.

However, as compressed increases, structure Se or S remains unchanged this microstructural adequately spin polarizes unpaired...
An electrochemical method to prepare two-dimensional (2D) layered black phosphorus oxide with an inhomogeneous and non-stoichiometric structure is developed described.
