Photocatalytic Deposition of Nanostructured CsPbBr Perovskite Quantum Dot Films on Mesoporous TiO and Their Enhanced Visible-Light Photodegradation Properties.

Herein, we report the in situ photocatalytic deposition of cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr) perovskite quantum dots on mesoporous TiO-coated fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO/TiO) electrodes. The mesoporous TiO layer is used as a photocatalyst to promote the following: (1) the Pb deposition from a Pb aqueous solution and (2) the in situ Pb conversion into CsPbBr perovskite in the presence of a CsBr methanolic solution without any organic capping agent. Both steps are carried out under ultraviolet light irradiation under ambient conditions without any post-treatment.

Indium Tin-Doped Oxide (ITO) as a High Activity Water Oxidation Photoanode.

Photochemical water oxidation was carried out at a mesoporous nanoparticle film composed of indium tin-doped oxide (ITO). Annealing ITO at temperatures above 250 °C affects both conducting and semiconducting properties. Impressive photoelectrochemical activity was observed at this degenerate n-type semiconductor electrode, outperforming the traditional semiconductor titanium dioxide (TiO) under the same conditions.

Effects of the large distribution of CdS quantum dot sizes on the charge transfer interactions into TiO2 nanotubes for photocatalytic hydrogen generation.

Hydrogen fuels generated by water splitting using a photocatalyst and solar irradiation are currently gaining the strength to diversify the world energy matrix in a green way. CdS quantum dots have revealed a hydrogen generation improvement when added to TiO2 materials under visible-light irradiation. In the present paper, we investigated the performance of TiO2 nanotubes coupled with CdS quantum dots, by a molecular bifunctional linker, on photocatalytic hydrogen generation.

Information about occupational exposure to asbestos given to cases in an etiological study: ethical aspects.

The aim of the study is to consider some ethical aspects of the provision of information, to the cases or their families, about the assessment of occupational asbestos exposure obtained in a case-control study of malignant mesothelioma of the pleura. An informative letter with the result of the evaluation of their occupational exposure to asbestos was sent to the participating cases (and/or their family). Those whose exposure was classified as certain/probable were also informed of the legislation regarding occupational diseases.
