Pollution remains one of the most significant global challenges. Photocatalysis consists of a new organic pollutant removal technology, with TiO widely studied as a photocatalyst in the photocatalytic removal of water pollution. However, intrinsic TiO has the disadvantages of weak visible light absorption, low electron separation, and transmission efficiency, as well as few active sites.

This study introduces the utilization of graphite-like structured activated carbon (AC), derived from highland barley straw-a biomass unique to the Plateau regions of China, including Tibet, Qinghai, and Gansu-as a support material for the TiO catalyst. TiO/AC composites with different TiO loadings were synthesized by ultrasonic impregnation.

Metabolic abnormality in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)can cause damage to the central nervous system,leading to cognitive decline.Neurofilament light chain protein(NFL),as a blood marker of neuroaxonal injuries,is significantly associated with the onset of cognitive impairment and affected by the renal function.It can participate in the development of cognitive impairment in T2DM through inflammation,blood-brain barrier breakdown,interaction between microglia and neurons,and Tau protein phosphorylation.
