The photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation process (PEAOP) necessitates high-performing and stable photoanodes for the effective oxidation of complex pollutants in industrial wastewater. This study presents the construction of 2D WO/MXene heteronanostructures for the development of efficient and stable photoanode. The WO/MXene heterostructure features well-ordered WO photoactive sites anchored on micron-sized MXene sheets, providing an increased visible light active catalytic surface area and enhanced electrocatalytic activities for pollutant oxidation.

Case Presentation: A 26-year-old Caucasian woman was admitted to our eating disorders unit under Section 2 of Mental Health Act (1983) with a body mass index of 13.
We have prepared conductometric NO(2) gas sensors based on single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) networks. The SWNT properties are modified systematically by varying the annealing temperature between 350 to 550 degrees C under vacuum. Thermal annealing is not only necessary to remove dispersant used for nanotube dispersion but also plays an important role in optimizing the gas sensing abilities.
