Boosting Photocatalytic CO Methanation through Interface Fusion over CdS Quantum Dot Aerogels.

In the field of photocatalytic CO reduction, quantum dot (QD) assemblies have emerged as promising candidate photocatalysts due to their superior light absorption and better substrate adsorption. However, the poor contacts within QD assemblies lead to low interfacial charge transfer efficiency, making QD assemblies suffer from unsatisfactory photocatalytic performance. Herein, a novel approach is presented involving the construction of strongly interfacial fused CdS QD assemblies (CdS QD gel) for CO reduction.

Experimental generation of linearly chirped 350 GHz band pulses with a bandwidth beyond 60 GHz.

We present in this Letter the experimental generation of linear frequency modulated (LFM) terahertz pulses with large bandwidths by using an optical interferometer-based photonic scheme and cutting-edge terahertz transceiver technology. The LFM pulses exhibiting a bandwidth in excess of 60 GHz centered at 350 GHz are successfully generated in the experiment, which represents the first demonstration of large time-bandwidth products (TBWPs) in the terahertz region above 300 GHz, to the best of our knowledge. The achieved TBWP of up to 527 has great potential in many prospective applications such as high-resolution radar sensing and imaging.
