A series of Co–P–TiO2 nanocomposite coatings were prepared via pulsed electrodeposition technique. TiO2 nanoparticles were embedded into the coating matrix using TiO2 sol. The phase constituents of nanocomposites were identified using X-ray diffraction. The surface morphology of nanocomposites was obtained through scanning electron microscopy. Wear tests and corrosion tests were conducted to determine the coating performance. Electrochemical characterization was performed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis. The nanocomposite coatings made via conventional pulse electrodeposition had a relatively ordered surface morphology and enhanced mechanical behaviour, which is associated with the increased strengthening effect of embedded nanoparticles. When applying a pulse reverse current, the Co–P–TiO2 nanocomposite coating had improved corrosion resistance owing to its smooth and uniform surface morphology.

Redox active hexacyanoferrate (HCF) was immobilized on CdS-graphene (CdS-G) electrode to study the photovoltammetric behavior of p-phenylenediamine (PPD). Under visible light illumination, the immobilized HCF could quickly consume photogenerated carriers on CdS-G electrode and mediate the photoelectrocatalytic oxidation of PPD, leading to an enhanced anodic limiting current response. The HCF/CdS-G electrode fabricated with 1% graphene content in CdS-G composites and 0.3 mmol·L−1 K4[Fe(CN)6] was found to show the optimum photovoltammetric response to PPD. The fabricated HCF/CdS-G electrode was explored for photovoltammetric determination of PPD, which showed a current response linearly proportional to PPD concentration from 1.0 × 10−7 to 1.0 × 10−5 mol·L−1. The detection limit (3S/N) was 4.7 × 10−8 mol·L−1. Moreover, the HCF/CdS-G electrode displayed good reproducibility and high stability. The developed photovoltammetric method was successfully applied to the determination of PPD in environmental water samples.

Most crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells are based on high temperature–processed p-n junctions or highly doped heterojunctions. The concept of dopant-free carrier selective contact has become a research hotspot and been successfully demonstrated with n-type Si wafers, showing the great potential of simplified fabrication process and lower thermal-consuming. However, there are few successful cases on p-Si, dopant-free p-Si/CdS (cadmium sulfide)/ITO (indium tin oxide) solar cells with champion efficiency of 12.29% (device area 4 cm 2 ) have been demonstrated with DC magnetron sputtered CdS thin films working as electron-selective contact. A proper annealing treatment is found essential in improving the p-Si/CdS/ITO heterocontact and device performance. The author's preliminary results confirm the feasibility of preparation of efficient p-Si wafer–based dopant-free solar cells.

Solid−liquid equilibria have been measured for binary mixtures of 1,8-cineole with p-cymene, β-pinene, and camphene, respectively, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) over the whole composition concentration range. All three are simple eutectic systems. The eutectic point of the (1,8-cineole (1) + p-cymene (2)) mixture is at 200.0 K and x1 = 0.124, the (1,8-cineole (1) + β-pinene (2)) mixture at 205.6 K and x1 = 0.154, and the (1,8-cineole (1) + camphene (2)) mixture at 251.8 K and x1 = 0.582. An empirical equation of Ott and Goates was used for correlating the experimental data.

The characteristics of host–guest complexation between tetrabutyl ether derivatives of p -sulfonatocalix[4]arene (SC4Bu) and methiocarb [3,5-dimethyl-4-(methylthio) phenyl methylcarbamate] were investigated by fluorescence spectrometry. Upon addition of methiocarb, the fluorescence intensity of SC4Bu was quenched regularly and a slight red shift was observed for the maximum emission peak. These results indicated that the SC4Bu-methiocarb complex was formed a 1:1 mole ratio. An association constant of 1.67 × 10 4 L mol −1 was calculated by applying a deduced equation. The interaction mechanism of the inclusion complex was discussed. Based on the results, a novel spectrofluorimetric method was described for the determination of methiocarb with a detection limit at 0.05 μg mL −1 . This method is very simple and shows high sensitivity and selectivity. Moreover, the proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of methiocarb in water samples.

Nitroaromatic compounds, especially 2, 4, 6-trinitrophenol, have strong biological toxicity and explosive risks, so the detection of 2, 4, 6-trinitrophenol exhibit importantly practical and scientific significance. In this work, three fluorescence functionalized chitosan CNS 3 , CNS 4 and CNS 5 were prepared using chitosan as matrix. When 2, 4, 6-trinitrophenol (TNP) and/or p-nitrophenol (4-NP) was present in spot, these fluorescent chitosan sensors produced notable fluorescence quenching. It renders the chitosan sensing ability to detect TNP and 4-NP selectively and sensitively. The sensing mechanism is investigated as well. When introduced electron-rich moieties to the fluorescent chitosan, the sensitive detecting ability could be obtained. Excellent recognition ability could reach as low as 0.28 μM. The fluorescence fictionalization cause slight influence to the gel performance of chitosan.

p -Arsanilic acid ( p -ASA) is widely used in China as livestock and poultry feed additive for promoting animal growth. The use of organoarsenics poses a potential threat to the environment because it is mostly excreted by animals in its original form and can be transformed by UV–Vis light excitation. This work examined the initial rate and efficiency of p -ASA phototransformation under UV-C disinfection lamp. Several factors influencing p -ASA phototransformation, namely, pH, initial concentration, temperature, as well as the presence of NaCl, NH 4 + , and humic acid , were investigated. Quenching experiments and LC–MS were performed to investigate the mechanism of p -ASA phototransformation. Results show that p -ASA was decomposed to inorganic arsenic (including As(III) and As(V)) and aromatic products by UV-C light through direct photolysis and indirect oxidation. The oxidation efficency of p -ASA by direct photosis was about 32%, and those by HO and 1 O 2 were 19% and 49%, respectively. Cleavage of the arsenic–benzene bond through direct photolysis, HO oxidation or 1 O 2 oxidation results in simultaneous formation of inorganic As(III), As(IV), and As(V). Inorganic As(III) is oxidized to As(IV) and then to As(V) by 1 O 2 or HO . As(IV) can undergo dismutation or simply react with oxygen to produce As(V) as well. Reactions of the organic moieties of p -ASA produce aniline, aminophenol and azobenzene derivatives as main products. The photoconvertible property of p -ASA implies that UV disinfection of wastewaters from poultry and swine farms containing p -ASA poses a potential threat to the ecosystem, especially agricultural environments.

To improve the photocatalytic performance of Mn 0.6 Zn 0.4 Fe 2 O 4 (MZFO) and ZnIn 2 S 4 (ZIS) for organic pollutants, the p-n MZFO@ZIS heterojunctions with different weight percentage (10 ~ 40%) of MZFO are constructed from spent batteries and added indium ion via a green bioleaching and hydrothermal method. Structural, optical, and photocatalytic properties for the heterojunctions are investigated systematically by XRD, FT-IR, SEM–EDX, TEM, BET, VB-XPS, UV–vis DRS, PL, etc. The results confirm that p–n junction significantly improves the visible light adsorption and the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers. Specifically, MZFO-25%@ZIS shows the highest photodegradation performance toward Congo red (CR), and its reactive kinetic constant is about 9.6, 7.8, and 7.0 times higher than that of P25 TiO 2 , MZFO, and ZIS, respectively, and MZFO-25%@ZIS still possesses a high reusability and simple magnetic separation after 5 cycles of reuse. The radical trapping experiments and electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) tests show that · O 2 − , · OH, and h + are the most important active substance for degrading CR. The pathways for the CR degradation are further proposed based on the intermediate analysis. DFT + U calculations confirm that the high charge density of Zn–O, Fe–O, and Zn–S bonds in the MZFO and ZIS molecules provides the electrons for the sufficient production of free radicals. This work also provides a novel high value-added strategy for the green utilization of spent batteries.

In this work, we successfully prepare the octahedral NiO/Zn 2 SnO 4 p-n heterostructure by a simple hydrothermal synthesis and subsequent wet impregnation process. The microscopic morphology characterization results show that the as-prepared composites are uniformly dispersed and have an octahedral structure with a size of 3−5 μm. The gas devices are fabricated and their sensing performances are investigated systematically. The response and selectivity of NiO/Zn 2 SnO 4 composites to acetone have been significantly improved than that of pure Zn 2 SnO 4 . Moreover, the response of the sensor to 100 ppb acetone is 1.4 at 300 °C, indicating that the detection limit is less than 100 ppb. The enhancement in sensing properties of composites is largely due to the p-n heterojunction formed by NiO and Zn 2 SnO 4 , which causes the transfer of carriers and the catalytic effect of NiO.

The rapid and sensitive detection of glyphosate herbicide in agricultural products is urgent need. Herein, we develop a photosensitive Fe 3 O v -Mo/P nanozyme with defect-rich rough surface by the co-precipitation method. In particular, the Fe 3 O v -Mo/P nanozyme with high-percentage oxygen vacancy (OV) defects and rough surface exhibited superior peroxidase (POD)-like activity and kinetics. More intriguingly, Fe 3 O v -Mo/P nanozyme with strong optical absorption in near-infrared (NIR) region showed excellent light-promoted POD-like activity. It was found that the defect-rich rough surface is conducive to the adsorption of glyphosate to inhibit the POD-like activity of Fe 3 O v -Mo/P. Under near-infrared laser irradiation, the inhibitory effect of glyphosate on the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by Fe 3 O v -Mo/P was increased by 2.64 times. A colorimetric platform was developed for the detection of glyphosate with a low detection limit of 0.032 mg L -1 and good selectivity. The method was used to determine the residual glyphosate in coffee, and the recovery efficiency was between 91.20–104.00 %. This work that combines the advantage of defect engineering and NIR provides a strategy for developing high-active nanozyme in pesticide assay.

Polyhedron-like WO 3 (n-type WO 3 ) nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal reaction without using any template or surfactant. The Polyhedron-like WO 3 /Ag 2 CO 3 p-n junction photocatalyst was first synthesized by a simple impregnation-deposition way. The obtained samples were investigated by XRD, BET, XPS, SEM, TEM etc. The separation mechanisms of photo-induced electrons (e − ) and photo-induced holes (h + ) of the Polyhedron-like WO 3 /Ag 2 CO 3 p-n junction samples were characterized by PL technique, EIS and determination of active sites and species in the photocatalytic reactions. In this p-n junction structure, Polyhedron-like WO 3 nanoparticles adhered to the surface of the Rod-like p-type Ag 2 CO 3 nanoparticles. The Polyhedron-like WO 3 /Ag 2 CO 3 p-n junction photocatalyst showed much higher photocatalytic activity than both single materials for RhB degradation under UV–vis light irradiation, and even 17 times higher than commercial powders (P25) at the same circumstance. Even compared with the related photocatalyst, it still exhibits the highest photocatalytic ability. The highly enhanced photocatalytic of the Polyhedron-like WO 3 /Ag 2 CO 3 p-n junction photocatalyst can be attributed to extended absorption, more effective separation of photogenerated charges, the transfer rate of photo-induced charge carriers and forming of p-n junction system.

Hydrogen evolution of inorganic photocatalysts is currently a hot research topic. In order to prepare highly efficient catalysts for hydrogen evolution, p-n type heterojunctions were successfully constructed by closely combining p-type Cu 2 O and n-type NiCo-LDH with opposite electrical properties by a simple electrostatic self-assembly. In addition, because the positions of the two single catalysts NiCo-LDH and Cu 2 O Fermi levels are dissimilar from those of traditional p-n heterojunctions, the extremely high movement of Fermi levels forms a strong built-in electric field, which powerfully prevents the gradient diffusion of charge and facilitates the migration of intrinsic photocarriers. Furthermore, the flower cluster NiCo-LDH is composed of two-dimensional thin sheet structure, which has a large specific surface area and can prevent Cu 2 O agglomeration. Under the condition of using triethanolamine solution and eosin Y (EY) respectively as sacrifice reagent reducing agent and photosensitizer, the composite catalyst has reached 18332 μmol·g −1 in 5 h, which was increased by 8.5 times compared to the pure Cu 2 O. This research provides an innovative strategy to construct a heterojunction between a metal double-layer hydroxide and a non-noble metal oxide to realize an effective photocatalytic hydrogen production .
