Article Abstract
Piezocatalytic HO generation has emerged as a promising alternative for sustainable HO synthesis, yet its development is hindered by unsatisfactory energy conversion efficiency. Herein, a TiO/ZnO piezocatalyst was developed by dispersing ZnO nanorods within a TiO nanosheet substrate, enabling efficient HO generation in pure water. By constructing a heterostructure, we developed an effective strategy to enhance charge carrier separation and migration through a built-in electric-field-induced piezoelectric effect, thereby demonstrating the superior piezocatalytic performance of the TiO/ZnO composite. Compared to pure TiO and ZnO, the TiO/ZnO heterojunction exhibited significantly enhanced piezocatalytic HO production, achieving a yield of 2078.14 μmol·g·h in pure water, surpassing most reported piezocatalysts. Reactive species analysis revealed a dual-channel HO generation mechanism, featuring an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)-dominated pathway with a minor contribution from the water oxidation reaction (WOR). Furthermore, TiO/ZnO exhibits excellent piezocatalytic performance in degrading various pollutants. This work provides valuable insights into piezocatalytic HO generation and offers a potential pathway for the green and sustainable synthesis of HO.

Photocatalysis has emerged as a promising strategy to address water pollution caused by heavy metals and antibiotics. Zeolites exhibit significant potential in petrochemical catalysis; however, the development of zeolite-based photocatalysts remains a critical challenge for researchers. Herein, a novel Z-scheme heterojunction was designed and fabricated on the titanium-silicon zeolite TS-1 by modifying g-CN via a simple calcination process.

In this study, both pure and calcium-containing complex liposomes made from DPPC phospholipids were investigated using calorimetric and spectrophotometric methods. Liposomes were prepared using a new technology in both water and a 20% glycerol aqueous solution. Glycerol allows drug-containing DPPC liposomes to penetrate the dermis of the skin through the epidermis.

Urea photosynthesis from CO and N has profound environmental and energy implications. However, the simultaneous activation of CO and N, along with the promotion of C─N bond formation, remains a major challenge. Herein, the asymmetric interfacial sites (Zn─O─Ti) were engineered by building oxygen atom bridges between ZIF-8 and MIL-125 to enable efficient photocatalytic urea synthesis.

Sorafenib, a clinically approved multityrosine kinase inhibitor, exhibits poor aqueous solubility, which limits its bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. In this study, we introduce a solvent-directed self-assembly strategy to modulate the nanostructure of sorafenib without the use of external carriers or complex formulation techniques. In pure water, sorafenib forms large lamellar aggregates, whereas in 30% methanol-water mixtures, it self-assembles into uniform spherical particles approximately 450 nm in diameter.
