Libethenite Cu2PO4OH nanocrystals with different morphologies were prepared by an ionic liquid-assisted hydrothermal route, and were further investigated as photocatalysts under visible-light irradiation. The Cu2PO4OH elongated truncated bipyramids exposing {100} facets exhibit superior photocatalytic activity compared to other particles, which can be attributed to the presence of 100% Cu5c atoms on {100} facets. It is highly expect this research can provide a useful fundamental understanding of shape-dependent photocatalytic performance of copper hydroxyphosphate.

Antimonide laser diodes, with their high performance above room temperature, exhibit significant potential for widespread applications in the mid-infrared spectral region. However, the laser's performance significantly degrades as the emission wavelength increases, primarily due to severe quantum-well hole leakage and significant non-radiative recombination. In this paper, we put up an active region with a high valence band offset and excellent crystalline quality with high luminescence to improve the laser's performance.

Department of Operative Dentistry, School of Dentistry, Aichi Gakuin University, Nagoya 464-8651, Japan.

The purpose of this study was to compare the wear resistance of light-cure resin luting cements for veneers with that of other luting materials investigated in earlier studies. An Alabama wear-testing machine was used to measure the wear resistance of four recent light-cure resin luting cements for veneers (G-Cem Veneer; Panavia V5 LC; RelyX Veneer Cement; and Vario-link Esthetic LC). The volume loss ranged from 0.

Catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) is a highly effective method for indoor HCHO removal. However, many aspects of the catalytic mechanism remain unclear, making the optimization of catalysts largely empirical. Herein, we report a coupled experimental and computational study of Pt/TiO catalysts, with special focus on the functional roles of surface oxygen vacancies and hydroxyl groups in the catalytic oxidation of HCHO.

The synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with diverse geometries has captivated considerable interest due to their manifestation of novel and extraordinary properties. While much progress has been made in shaping regular polyhedral single-crystal MOFs, the creation of more complex, topologically intricate nanostructures remains a largely unexplored frontier. Here, we present a refined site-specific anisotropic assembly and etching co-mediation approach to fabricate a series of hierarchical MOF nanohybrids and single-crystal MOFs.

Statement Of Problem: Currently there is no regulatory requirement or international standard for the wear resistance of dental materials and therefore no need to test prior to market launch.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate and compare the total volumetric wear characteristics of milled polymer infiltrated ceramic network (MPICN) and printed polymer resin (PPR) as substrates opposing five antagonists, human enamel (EN), lithium disilicate (LD), zirconia (ZR), MPICN, and PPR, and to evaluate and compare the volumetric wear of these same materials as antagonists.

Material And Methods: Ten of each antagonist for a total of 50 EN, LD (IPS e.
