Article Abstract

Highly ordered periodic macroporous structures have been extensively utilized to significantly enhance the photocatalytic activity. However, constructing 3D interconnected ordered porous ternary nanostructures with highly crystalline frameworks remains a formidable challenge. Here, we introduce the design and fabrication of 3D interconnected periodic macroporous NaNbO (PM NaNbO) to effectively increase the density of surface-active sites and optimize the photogenerated carrier-transfer efficiency. By incorporating Pt as a cocatalyst, PM NaNbO exhibits an exceptional photocatalytic hydrogen generation rate of 10.04 mmol h g, which is approximately six and five times higher than those of calcined NaNbO (C-NaNbO) and hydrothermal NaNbO (H-NaNbO), respectively. This outstanding performance can be attributed to the synergistic effects arising from its well-interconnected pore architecture, large surface area, enhanced light absorption capability, and improved charge carrier separation and transport efficiency. The findings presented in this study demonstrate an innovative approach toward designing hierarchically periodic macroporous materials for solar-driven hydrogen production.

<b>Introduction:</b> Traumatic detachment of the lateral abdominal muscle group from the iliac crest occurs as a result of the acceleration mechanism when the body impacts a seatbelt during a head-on collision of motor vehicles. Due to the rare and variable nature of such defects, a standard treatment protocol has not yet been developed. As a result, the surgical technique and timing of the procedure are always planned individually.

In recent years, tight oil has emerged as a significant and complex topic in the fields of oil exploration and development. Following hydraulic fracturing, wells are typically shut-in for a designated period to facilitate water uptake into shale formations, which has become the predominant method for developing tight oil resources. During this process, initial pressure-specifically the shut-in pressure post-fracturing-plays a crucial role in ensuring imbibition recovery and determining shut-in duration.

Membrane-mediated gas-to-liquid mass transfer is crucial for chemical reactions and biological processes, yet low gas solubility in water limits exchange efficiency. To address this challenge, we leverage periodic, hydrophilic gradient nanochannels in highly oriented covalent organic framework (COF) membranes. These membranes exhibit a significantly higher oxygen dissolution rate than macroporous membranes with greater gas permeability, driven by nanoconfinement effects and increased liquid meniscus curvature, which reduce the hydrogen bond density and lower the oxygen-water binding energy.

Tissue engineering is a technique that applies temporary biomaterials as scaffolds to facilitate the regeneration of native tissue. A critical challenge is precisely controlling the degradation rate of these scaffolds to match the pace of new tissue formation, ensuring optimal integration and functional recovery. In this study, poly(glycerol carbonate methacrylate) (p(GCMA)) nanoparticles with an average diameter of ∼50 nm were successfully synthesized.

Solar-driven one-step-excitation overall water splitting is one of the most straightforward ways of achieving scalable solar hydrogen production. Despite its advantage in visible-light response and stability, the pristine bismuth vanadate (BiVO) alone is not capable of achieving overall water splitting due to its conduction band energy level being insufficient for the proton reduction reaction, further limited by the severe charge recombination. Here, we demonstrate the three-dimensionally ordered macroporous BiVO with a carefully enlarged bandgap of 2.
