Interfacial Engineering of 2D-2D CdInS/TiC Heterojunctions for Enhanced Photocatalytic Hydrogen Generation.

Utilization of solar energy through wireless water-splitting technology offers a promising pathway toward a sustainable and environmentally conscious future. The rational design of 2D-2D heterojunctions leverages synergistic effects to optimize charge carrier dynamics, thereby boosting photocatalytic activity. In this study, well-engineered heterojunction TiC/CdInS (TCIS) nanocomposites are synthesized via an in situ hydrothermal method and employed in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE).

Defects in MOFs for Photocatalytic Water Reduction to Hydrogen Generation: From Fundamental Understanding to State-of-Art Materials.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly studied for solar H production from HO due to their abundant active sites and open pore channels. Titanium (Ti) and Zirconium (Zr) MOFs are particularly noted for their stability and optoelectronic properties, resembling conventional metal oxide semiconductors. These MOFs allow molecular-level tuning to alter optoelectronic properties, creating opportunities to enhance catalytic activity.

Integration of IPC/WASH critical conditions into quality of care and quality improvement tools and processes: Bangladesh case study.

Unsafe patient care in hospitals, especially in low- and middle-income countries, is often caused by poor infection prevention and control (IPC) practices; insufficient support for water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); and inadequate waste management. We looked at the intersection of IPC, WASH, and the global initiative of improving health care quality, specifically around maternal and newborn care in Bangladesh health facilities. We identified 8 primary quality improvement and IPC/WASH policy and guideline documents in Bangladesh and analyzed their incorporation of 30 subconditions under 5 critical conditions: water; sanitation; hygiene; waste management/cleaning; and IPC supplies, guidelines, training, surveillance, and monitoring.
