Pharmacological activity and clinical application analysis of traditional Chinese medicine ginger from the perspective of one source and multiple substances.

All types of ginger have common fundamental components, although they possess distinct strengths and inclinations when it comes to effectiveness and medicinal applications. Fresh ginger possesses the ability to effectively stimulate movement within the body, alleviate the act of vomiting, induce sweating, and provide relief for external syndromes. Dried ginger possesses both defensive and stimulant characteristics, which effectively raise the internal temperature and enhance the Yang energy.

Effect of Rh valence state and doping concentration on the structure and photocatalytic H evolution in (Nb,Rh) codoped TiO nanorods.

The simultaneous realization of visible light response and high photocatalytic activity remains a challenging task for TiO2 despite extensive research. Herein, (Nb,Rh) codoping is adopted to extend the absorption band of anatase TiO2 into the visible-light region. Meanwhile, the dependence of the electronic structure, visible-light absorption, and photocatalytic performance on the dopant ratio as well as doping concentration is studied.

Highly Active Photocatalyst of CuO/TiO Octahedron for Hydrogen Generation.

Heterojunction catalysts are attracting attention in the field of photocatalytic hydrogen generation for their effective light utilization and charge separation personalities. In this work, we report a simple and low-cost two-step solvothermal method for synthesizing CuO/TiO heterojunction catalysts with an octahedral morphology and a mean particle size of about 30 nm. It is found that the introduction of CuO astonishingly enhances the photocatalytic performance of TiO.

One-step synthesis of nonstoichiometric TiO nanorod films for enhanced photocatalytic H evolution.

The realization of one-dimensional nanostructures or Ti3+ self-doping in TiO2 photocatalysts has proven to be an effective approach for significantly improving their photocatalytic performance. Herein, a series of nonstoichiometric anatase TiO2 nanorod films were deposited at 50-500 °C by a facile one-step magnetron sputtering method. The correlation between the microstructures and the photocatalytic H2 production abilities of the films was studied.
