A photoassisted reaction of O-ethyl S-[2-(diisopropylamino) ethyl] methylphosphonothioate (VX) droplets in air was carried out. The experimental results indicated that VX droplets could be easily and chemically transformed into other compounds under irradiation of a germicidal lamp over sufficient time. Quantum chemical calculation results demonstrated that UV light less than 278 nm wavelength could possibly initiate photoreaction of VX and that both P-S and P=O bonds in the VX molecule were lengthened. The identification of reaction products by gas and liquid chromatography mass spectroscopy and NMR revealed that the VX molecule in air under UV light irradiation could undergo isomerization of S-esters to O-esters, cleavage of P-S, S-C, and C-N bonds, and ozonation of tertiary amines.

Peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation is a crucial process for wastewater treatment in complicated water matrices. However, it is frequently limited because of poor selectivity, sluggish kinetics, and short lifetime of radicals. Therefore, in this study, an efficient sulfur-doped CN/DyFeO (SCN/DyF) Z-scheme heterostructure catalyst was rationally developed using a simple wet-chemical strategy to photoactivate PDS, which can effectively degrade norfloxacin (NOR; 96.

A tubular strand of phosphorus composed of vectorially aligned pentagons has been theoretically predicted as a new allotrope of phosphorus with a polar structure, expecting potential applications. However, it has not been successfully synthesized yet due to the difficulty of creating isolated strands to avoid interchain bonding. Here, such an allotrope named "orange phosphorus" was successfully produced using a photo-assisted synthesis from an amorphous film of solution-processable Na2P16 precursors.

Direct formic acid fuel cell (DFAFC) is an efficient power generation device, due to its high energy density, low fuel crossover and low emission. However, the anodic reaction of DFAFC, formic acid oxidation (FAOR), inevitably proceeds through an indirect pathway, adsorbing carbon monoxide intermediate (CO), resulting in a rapid decline of activity for FAOR. Therefore, effectively removing CO is the key to the development of DFAFC.

In the process of water electrolysis, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) suffers from a high energy barrier, which has become a key factor restricting the large-scale commercial application of renewable energy technology. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a durable, efficient, low-cost and environmentally friendly OER electrocatalyst. In the present work, a photo-responsive fullerene (C) was encapsulated in the cavity of cobalt-containing flake-like zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (C@F-ZIF-67).

Under the spotlight for their potential to reduce over-potential, photo-assisted Li-O batteries still face a key challenge: the rapid recombination of photo-generated electron-hole pairs, which limits their efficiency. In this study, we address this limitation by designing a Li-O battery that integrates both photo and magnetic field assistance, using an S-scheme MXene/InS/CoFeO heterojunction photocathode. This unique combination enhances visible light absorption and generates a strong built-in electric field, facilitating effective charge separation and boosting photocatalytic activity.
