Article Abstract
In this work, single crystalline α-Fe O nanoflakes (NFs) are formed in a highly dense array by Au seeding of a Fe substrate by a thermal oxidation technique. The NFs are conformally decorated with a thin FeOOH cocatalyst layer. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) measurements show that this photoanode, incorporating α-Fe O /FeOOH NFs rooted on the Au/Fe structure, exhibits significantly enhanced PEC water oxidation performance compared to the plain α-Fe O nanostructure on the Fe substrate. The α-Fe O /FeOOH NFs on Au/Fe photoanode yields a photocurrent density of 3.1 mA cm at 1.5 V , and a remarkably low onset potential of 0.5-0.6 V in 1 m KOH under AM 1.5G (100 mW cm ) simulated sunlight illumination. The enhancement in PEC performance can be attributed to a synergistic effect of the FeOOH top decoration and the Au underlayer, whereby FeOOH facilitates hole transfer at the interface of electrode/electrolyte and the Au layer provides a sink for the electron transport to the back contact. This results in a drastically improved charge-separation efficiency in the single crystalline α-Fe O NF photoanode.

In this study, infrared spectroscopy investigations in combination with DFT calculations were used to elucidate interactions between bosentan monohydrate (BOS) and sildenafil base (SIL) initiated under high energy ball milling. The research was focused mainly on the vibrational properties of their co-milled binary solid dispersions compared to the physical mixtures and single drugs. First, the stability and structure of sildenafil isomers were established.

The thermodynamic equilibrium assumption often invoked in modeling ion migration in solid-state materials remains insufficient to capture the true migration behavior of Li ions, particularly in less-crystalline superionic conductors that exhibit anomalously high Li ion conductivity. Such materials challenge classical frameworks and necessitate a lattice dynamics-based perspective that explicitly accounts for nonequilibrium phonon interactions and transient structural responses. Here, we uncover a phonon-governed Li ion migration mechanism in garnet-structured superionic conductors by comparing Ta-doped LiLaZrTaO (LLZTO4) to its undoped analogue, LiLaZrAlO (LLZO).

Altermagnets are a newly identified family of collinear antiferromagnets with a momentum-dependent spin-split band structure of non-relativistic origin, derived from spin-group symmetry-protected crystal structures. Among candidate altermagnets, CrSb is attractive for potential applications because of a large spin-splitting near the Fermi level and a high Néel transition temperature of around 700 K. Molecular beam epitaxy is used to synthesize CrSb (0001) thin films with thicknesses ranging from 10 to 100 nm.

Understanding the structural flexibility of zeolites under cryogenic conditions is essential for optimizing gas separation and storage performance. This study investigates nanosized RHO zeolite synthesized via green synthesis (without organic structural directing agent) upon hydration and cooling to low temperatures (<273 K) using in situ XRPD, in situ FTIR spectroscopy, and DFT simulations. Template-free synthesis is performed at low temperature (363 K), avoiding calcination or postsynthetic activation, yielding highly crystalline nanosized zeolite with minimal energy consumption and no toxic by-products.

This study presents the experimental demonstration of metallic NbS-based one-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures using a modified NaCl-assisted chemical vapor deposition strategy. By employing a ″remote salt″ strategy, we realized precise control of the NaCl supply, enabling the growth of high-quality coaxial NbS nanotubes on single-walled carbon nanotube-boron nitride nanotube (SWCNT-BNNT) templates. Using this remote salt strategy, the morphologies of as-synthesized NbS could be tuned from 1D nanotubes to suspended 2D flakes.
