Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are hazardous chemicals that significantly threaten public health, making their remediation an increasingly pressing concern. Among the various solutions proposed, the use of TiO2 photocatalysts has garnered attention because of their practicality, cost-effectiveness, high catalytic activity, and human-friendly nature. This study discussed the potential of Wolfram (W)-doped TiO2 catalyst in enhancing VOC degradation under UV light irradiation and used xylene as the target VOC. The nanostructured W-doped TiO2 materials were fabricated without surfactants or post-reaction calcination at a low temperature for 10 h, yielding promising results. We carefully investigated these nanomaterials’ characterization using microscopic and spectroscopic techniques such as XRD, TEM, SEM, EDS, XRF, EIS, and XPS. The XPS analysis revealed W-O-Ti linkages and improved charge separation, while EIS showed enhanced conductivity and reduced charge transfer resistance, with 1.5 mol% W achieving optimal performance. These results evaluate the successful synthesis of W-doped TiO2, which can be applied to VOC treatment. Notably, the photocatalytic degradation of xylene gas reached 99.77% within 10 min of UV illumination. This result demonstrates the outstanding properties of this catalyst as a promising solution for VOCs pollution control.

Al 2 O 3 ceramic have excellent chemical inertness, superior heat resistance, and excellent corrosion resistance, so they are considered ideal materials for manufacturing high-performance components such as thermal end devices in aerospace, heat dissipation panels in electronic communication, and exhaust filters in the automotive industry. Digital Light Processing (DLP) is a useful technology to fabricate complex Al 2 O 3 ceramic components. However, the size shrinkage effect of DLP-fabricated components need to be investigated deeply before its further application. In this work, we utilized DLP technology to fabricate Al 2 O 3 ceramic honeycomb structures and systematically investigated their microstructure, size shrinkage, and mechanical properties. Our findings revealed that the Al 2 O 3 ceramic grains exhibit flake-like structures with an average diameter of 1–2 μm, and the ceramic particles are tightly bonded. The shrinkage rates in the X and Y axes were 7.54 % and 7.42 %, respectively, while the Z-axis exhibited a more significant shrinkage of 13.04 %. This anisotropic shrinkage in different direction was attributed to accumulation of the interlayer bonding under gravity action during debinding and sintering process. The compressive stress-strain curve of the honeycomb structures demonstrated a typical brittle compressive behavior, including elastic, stress plateau, and brittle fracture stages. The honeycomb structures exhibited an elastic modulus of 54.49 ± 1.22 MPa and a compressive strength of 10.22 ± 0.42 MPa. The fracture analysis indicated that the fractures region of honeycomb structures initiated at the corners of the honeycomb structures, indicating their easy-broken compared to the walls. These findings provide valuable guidance for the high-precision and high-performance manufacturing of complex Al 2 O 3 ceramic components.

Environmentally adaptive hydrogels that are capable of reconfiguration in response to external stimuli have shown great potential toward bioinspired actuation and soft robotics. Previous efforts have focused mainly on either the sophisticated design of heterogeneously structured hydrogels or the complex manipulation of external stimuli, and achieving self-regulated reversal shape deformation in homogenous hydrogels under a constant stimulus has been challenging. Here, we report the molecular design of structurally homogenous hydrogels containing simultaneously two spiropyrans that exhibit self-regulated transient deformation reversal when subjected to constant illumination. The deformation reversal mechanism originates from the molecular sequential descending-ascending charge variation of two coexisting spiropyrans upon irradiation, resulting in a macroscale volumetric contraction-expansion of the hydrogels. Hydrogel film actuators were developed to display complex temporary bidirectional shape transformations and self-regulated reversal rolling under constant illumination. Our work represents an innovative strategy for programming complex shape transformations of homogeneous hydrogels using a single constant stimulus.

The increasing amount of dye wastewater presented significant environmental and public health concerns, underscoring the urgent need to develop an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and sustainable approach to wastewater treatment. Photocatalytic technology is an ideal candidate for wastewater treatment due to its low pollution, high efficiency, and easy operation. In this work, a series of Sn-doped MgIn 2 S 4 photocatalysts were successfully prepared via the hydrothermal method. The 60%Sn–MgIn 2 S 4 showed the best photocatalytic activity, with a degradation rate of 62.5% for methyl orange (MO) over a 60-min driven by visible light. 60%Sn–MgIn 2 S 4 exhibited ideal stability, retaining 85% of its original degradation rate after four cycles of testing. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy suggested that the 60%Sn–MgIn 2 S 4 possessed the ideal photogenerated charge migration rates. In addition, the photocatalytic active species-capture experiments showed that · O 2 – and · OH were the main active species for the photocatalytic degradation of MO over 60%Sn–MgIn 2 S 4 . This research provided a significant foundation for the development of MgIn 2 S 4 -based photocatalytic materials.

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), a prevalent brominated flame retardant, poses significant environmental and health risks, necessitating its removal. In this study, WO3 with different structures was synthesized for TBBPA photodegradation under visible light using H2O2 and O2 as oxidants. The catalyst exhibited robust stability and reusability, rendering it suitable for practical applications. The crystalline structure and surface structure of WO3 controlled its catalytic activity towards TBBPA photodegradation. Monoclinic WO3 with the (022) plane was found to be the most active for ˙O2− active species generation from H2O2 and thus active for TBBPA degradation. Degradation product analysis showed that the catalyst was active not only for the removal of TBBPA, but also for the debromination of TBBPA. Nearly 100% debromination was achieved.

Bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr) is a common photocatalyst for degrading organic pollutants. Due to its low charge separation efficiency and narrow band gap, it is difficult to achieve good results in practical applications. By doping ytterbium ions (Yb 3+ ) into BiOBr , its absorption and utilization of visible light can be improved, thereby enhancing the photocatalytic performance. In this study, a simple one-step hydrothermal method was used to prepare Yb-doped BiOBr photocatalysts with enhanced oxygen vacancies (OVs). Yb 0.4 /BiOBr excites molecular oxygen and has a low band gap and a high charge separation efficiency. When tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) is used for photocatalysis, the degradation efficiency can reach 89.38% within 100 min, and the reaction rate constant is 1.47 times that of BiOBr without Yb doping. Finally, the possible degradation pathways and intermediates of TCH were investigated by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS). This study provides a new approach for improving the photocatalytic activity of BiOBr.

The realization of high-quality laser-driven white light remains challenging due to the limited heat dispersion and inconsistent light uniformity of color converters. In this study, ZnO particles with high thermal conductivity and a high index of refraction were induced into phosphor-in-glass (PiG) films to form a Y 3 Al 5 O 12 (YAG):Ce 3+ -ZnO composite structure. The influences of ZnO particles on the luminescence, optical properties, thermal dissipation performance, and light uniformity of PiG films were studied in detail. Benefiting from the improved thermal dissipation, the luminescence saturation threshold of the YAG:Ce 3+ PiG film was improved from 10.97 to 12.96 W/mm 2 , and the luminous flux was improved from 1271 to 1468 lm. The increased light scattering attributed to ZnO particles also effectively dispersed both laser and emitted light. This significantly enhanced the angular consistency of the color rendering index (Ra) and correlated color temperature (CCT). It indicates that the YAG:Ce 3+ -ZnO composite PiG film would be an interesting color converter for producing high-quality laser-driven white light.

Ion doping represents a viable strategy for improving the photocatalytic performance of semiconductor materials. This study successfully synthesized Sn 4+ -doped Bi 4 O 5 I 2 photocatalysts through an in-situ calcination approach. Structural characterization confirmed that Sn 4+ incorporation induced lattice contraction while increasing the density of active surface sites. Photocatalytic evaluation revealed that the 10 % Sn-BOI catalyst achieved 95.4 % levofloxacin (LOFX) degradation within 40 min under visible light irradiation, exhibiting a reaction rate constant (k) 5.2-fold greater than undoped Bi 4 O 5 I 2 . The catalyst demonstrated excellent stability, retaining high activity through four consecutive recycling tests. Mechanistic studies showed that oxygen vacancies (OVs) generated during doping modified the electronic structure by elevating the valence band maximum and narrowing the bandgap, while simultaneously promoting charge separation through electron trapping. These findings establish an effective methodology for developing photocatalysts to address antibiotic pollution in wastewater.

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant superbugs has heightened concerns about environmental pollutants such as tetracycline hydrochloride, necessitating effective removal strategies. Among various treatment approaches, interfacial modification means to realize efficient pollutant removal is an ideal method. In this study, a breakthrough in photocatalytic technology was achieved by developing a novel material that combines excellent adsorption capacity with enhanced photocatalytic performance. The innovation lies in our pioneering implementation of a third-component doping strategy, which enabled the construction of an organic semiconductor intrinsic heterojunction photocatalytic layer with an A-D-A structure, integrated onto a natural biomass carbon substrate. This strategic integration creates a synergistic system wherein the natural biomass carbon component rapidly concentrates pollutants, while the organic semiconductor bulk heterojunction photocatalytic layer generates electrons and free radicals for degradation. The material's exceptional performance is evidenced by its ability to completely degrade 20 mg/L of tetracycline hydrochloride within 30 min, establishing a new benchmark in treatment efficiency. Through density-functional theory (DFT) analysis, we have elucidated the underlying degradation mechanism, providing theoretical insights that may facilitate the development of advanced treatment solutions for a broader spectrum of organic pollutants through adsorption photocatalysis.

Single-molecule emitters with dual thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) characteristics are very promising for application in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Rarely reported, organic dual-TADF materials, especially mechanochromic materials, are in demand. We present two donor–acceptor emitters, Mes*BA-Ac and FXylBA-Ac, which exhibit dual-TADF in the solid state due to the separation of HOMO and LUMO and strong intermolecular interactions. Their phase transition from amorphous to crystalline under stimuli leads to switchable TADF emissions. By blending Mes*BA-Ac with poly(methyl methacrylate), we achieve pure white light with Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.33, 0.32). Furthermore, single-molecule white organic light-emitting diodes (SM-WOLEDs) using Mes*BA-Ac have been fabricated, reaching a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) of 1.65% with CIE coordinates of (0.30, 0.31). More importantly, the dual-TADF emission mechanism enables the devices to maintain stable white-light emission across a relatively wide voltage range, providing valuable insights for the advancement of pure organic SM-WOLEDs.

In recent years, ceramic fiber aerogel have been one of the most attractive insulating materials due to its low thermal conductivity, excellent mechanical properties and heat resistance. However, the high radiation heat transfer limits its practical application at high temperatures. In this study, a novel SiO 2 -ZrO 2 fiber aerogel/TiO 2 composite (SZTFAs) was successfully designed and prepared through an air-assisted electrospinning technique in conjunction with the hydrolysis of TiCl 4 . The SZTFAs exhibits anatase TiO 2 nanocoating on the fiber surface. The SZTFAs have low density (14 mg/cm 3 ), good mechanical properties (up to 80% compressive strain, 105.6 KPa), excellent high temperature stability (1200 °C) and fatigue resistance (after 1000 cycles, the maximum stress and Young’s modulus of the SZTFAs remain above 60%) and low thermal conductivity (0.0292 W/(m·K)). After 10 min of exposure to a butane flame, the backside temperature of the SZTFAs was 165 °C, which was approximately 40 °C lower than that of the samples without added TiO 2 . Due to the porous layered three-dimensional structure of SiO 2 -ZrO 2 fibers aerogel and TiO 2 nanolayer with shielding infrared radiation, the SZTFAs exhibit excellent heat resistance and thermal insulation properties. This study provides a method for developing ceramic fiber aerogels with excellent thermal insulation and mechanical properties at high temperatures.

Top emission can enhance luminance, color purity, and panel-manufacturing compatibility for emissive displays. Still, top-emitting quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) suffer from poor stability, low light outcoupling, and non-negligible viewing-angle dependence because, for QLEDs with non-red emission, the electrically optimum device structure is incompatible with single-mode optical microcavity. Here, we demonstrate that by improving the way of determining reflection penetration depths and creating refractive-index-lowering processes, the issues faced by green QLEDs can be overcome. This leads to advanced device performance, including a luminance exceeding 1.6 million nits, a current efficiency of 204.2 cd A −1 , and a T 95 operational lifetime of 15,600 hours at 1000 nits. Meanwhile, our design does not compromise light outcoupling as it offers an external quantum efficiency of 29.2% without implementing light extraction methods. Lastly, an angular color shift of Δ u’v’ = 0.0052 from 0° to 60° is achieved by narrowing the emission linewidth of quantum dots.
