Article Abstract

Constructing heterostructures can endow materials with fascinating properties in high-speed electronics, optoelectronics, and other applications. However, rational design and controllable synthesis of micro- and nanostructured heterostructured composites with high-speed properties remains a great challenge. Herein, a flower-like micronanostructured SnS/SnO heterojunction composite is reported in this paper. The heterostructure was synthesized by the solvothermal method in one step and was self-assembled from nanosheets. It is shown that the molar ratio of SnS to SnO has a great influence on the material's morphological structure, light absorption range, and charge transfer efficiency. When the molar ratio of S to Sn is 0.1:1, the products obtained show the optimum in terms of light absorption properties and carrier mobility. After 120 min of visible light irradiation, the degradation rate reached ∼70% and showed good photocatalytic stability.

In the field of theranostics, triaminophenaziniums are promising molecules due to their intrinsic properties such as an absorbance beyond 500 nm associated with large molar extinction coefficients, high fluorescence quantum yields, as well as phototoxicity. This study explored how three triaminophenazinium salts relate in structure and activity, highlighting their potential as theranostic agents. The nature of the moiety in position 2 of the dyes was varied from H, to -CH or -Bu.

Zeolite-confined Rh-based catalysts have emerged as promising heterogeneous candidates for olefin hydroformylation. However, they face challenges of reactant- and product-induced Rh leaching and aggregation. Herein, zeolite framework-anchored Rh-(O-Zn) sites were designed and are shown to have remarkable activity and stability for gas-phase ethylene hydroformylation.

The multi-component deep eutectic solvents (DES) have emerged as indispensable tools in the lignocellulosic pretreatment process, facilitating the efficient biotransformation of biomass sugars into valuable products. In this investigation, FeCl was ingeniously incorporated to amplify the pretreatment efficacy of a DES synthesized from cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and lactic acid (LA), specifically targeting poplar sawdust (PS). Remarkably, under the meticulously optimized molar ratio of 1: 4:1, this innovative ternary DES achieved an unprecedented removal of 68.

Objective: Previous studies of nerve distribution in the orofacial complex have focused primarily on the anatomic courses of nerve fibers and have rarely addressed the density of nerve distribution. The nerve distribution in the mandible was described in only one report which showed an increase in nerve distribution density moving from the alveolar crest toward the inferior alveolar nerve. However, no previous reports have focused on the nerve distribution density in the maxilla.

The unparalleled loss-less electrical current conduction of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials encourages research on YBaCuO (YBCO) to unravel opportunities toward numerous applications. Nonetheless, production costs and throughput of the commercialized HTS Coated Conductors (CCs) are still limiting a worldwide spread. Transient liquid assisted growth (TLAG) is a non-equilibrium process displaying ultrafast growth rate which, when combined with chemical solution deposition (CSD), is emerging as a strong candidate to reduce the cost/performance ratio of YBCO superconductors.
