Improved Interfacial Interactions by Core-Shell CoFeO@SiO Composites to Enhance the Ability of Corrosion Resistance and Electromagnetic Wave Absorption.

With the rapid development of science and technology, stealth and anti-corrosion activities in oceans have attracted widespread attention. This study successfully prepares CoFeO@SiO with a core-shell structure. This core-shell structure endows the CoFeO@SiO with good impedance matching and interfacial polarization.

Interfacial regulation of BiOI@BiS/MXene heterostructures for enhanced photothermal and photodynamic therapy in antibacterial applications.

Developing environmentally friendly, broad-spectrum, and long-lasting antibacterial materials remains challenging. Our ternary BiOI@BiS/MXene composites, which exhibit both photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) antibacterial properties, were synthesized through in-situ vulcanization of hollow flower-shaped BiOI on the surface of two-dimensional TiC MXene. The unique hollow flower-shaped BiOI structure with a high exposure of the (001) crystal plane amplifies light reflection and scattering, offering more active sites to improve light utilization.

Fabrication of direct Z-scheme CuO@V-CN (octa) heterojunction with exposed (111) lattice planes and nitrogen-rich vacancies for rapid sterilization.

The Z-scheme heterojunction has demonstrated significant potential for promoting photogenerated carrier separation. However, the rational design of all-solid Z-scheme heterojunctions catalysts and the controversies about carrier transfer path of direct Z-scheme heterojunctions catalysts face various challenges. Herein, a novel heterojunction, CuO@V-CN (octa), was fabricated using V-CN (carbon nitride with nitrogen-rich vacancies) in-situ electrostatic self-wrapping CuO octahedra.

Full solar spectrum-driven CuO/PDINH heterostructure with enhanced photocatalytic antibacterial activity and mechanism insight.

Marine biofouling hazards the sustainable development of the environment and has become a potential threat to environmental and ecological security. Photocatalytic antibacterial agents driven by the full solar spectrum are promising antifouling agents for environmental protection. The cuprous oxide/perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboximide (CuO/PDINH) heterostructure was successfully constructed by integrating p-type CuO and n-type PDINH to improve photocatalytic antibacterial efficiency.

NIR-triggered photocatalytic and photothermal performance for sterilization based on copper sulfide nanoparticles anchored on TiCT MXene.

Harmful bacterial flourish with the increase in environmental pollution and pose a great threat to human health. Thus, developing new and efficient antibacterial materials is imperative to reduce the pollution caused by traditional sterilization materials and improve sterilization efficiency. In this study, a new photocatalytic antibacterial material was developed to achieve an efficient antibacterial effect.

Charge transfer channels of silver @ cuprous oxide heterostructure core-shell nanoparticles strengthen high photocatalytic antibacterial activity.

Marine biological fouling has always been a hot research topic. In this study, silver @ cuprous oxide (Ag@CuO) core-shell nanoparticles were synthesized via in-situ synthesis method and developed an outstanding antibacterial activity. The bacteriostasis efficiency of Ag@CuO reached to 99% and 98% against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively.

Facile synthesis of BTA@NiCoO hollow structure for excellent microwave absorption and anticorrosion performance.

A three-dimensional hollow NiCoO structure was successfully prepared with a precipitation-hydrothermal method. A balance between magnetic and dielectric losses was achieved by using a hollow NiCoO structure loaded with benzotriazole (BTA), and thus the performance of electromagnetic waves was attenuated. The minimum reflection loss value of BTA@NiCoO at 16.
