To achieve rapid separation of photogenerated charges, increase photocatalytic degradation activity, a visible light-driven FeOOH/BiMoO-OVs photocatalyst was designed and successfully fabricated via solvothermal synthesis and calcination. HO was added under visible light irradiation to form a heterogeneous photocatalysis-Fenton synergy system. Using visible light irradiation, 10% FeOOH/BiMoO-OVs had the best degradation activity. The removal efficiency of phenol was 100% within 3 h, which was 1.54 times and 1.33 times of the degradation efficiency of photocatalysis and Fenton alone, respectively. The catalyst has high removal activity for various pollutants and good cycle stability. Hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals have proven to be the main active substances and a reasonable catalytic mechanism was proposed. Surface oxygen vacancy can not only reduce the width of band gap, promote the separation and migration of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, but also make the OO bond of HO elongate and weaken, making it easier to react with FeOOH and realize the synergistic effect of photocatalysis-Fenton. Simultaneously, the oxygen vacancies located near the valence band can capture holes, and the holes are rapidly transferred to the surface of the catalyst and participated in the degradation of pollutants.

Energy transfer processes in nanohybrids are at the focal point of conceptualizing, designing, and realizing novel energy-harvesting systems featuring nanocrystals that absorb photons and transfer their energy unidirectionally to surface-immobilized functional dyes. Importantly, the functionality of these dyes defines the ultimate application. Herein, CsPbBr perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are interfaced with zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) dyes featuring carboxylic acid.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), characterized by choroidal neovascularization (CNV), is the global leading cause of irreversible blindness. Current first-line therapeutics, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonists, often yield incomplete and suboptimal vision improvement, necessitating the exploration of novel and efficacious therapeutic approaches. Herein, a supramolecular engineering strategy to construct moringin (MOR) loaded α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) coated nanoceria (M@CCNP) is constructed, where the hydroxy and newly formed carbonyl groups of α-CD interact with the nanoceria surface via O─Ce conjunction and the isothiocyanate group of MOR inserts deeply into the α-CD cavity via host-guest interaction.

NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) currently are the most efficient catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline environments. However, the development of high-performance low cost OER electrocatalysts using straightforward strategies remains a significant challenge. In this study, we describe an innovative microbial mineralization-based method for in situ-induced preparation of NiFe LDH nanosheets loaded on nickel foam and demonstrate that this material serves as an efficient oxygen evolution electrocatalyst.

The Fe-N-C catalyst, featuring a single-atom Fe-N configuration, is regarded as one of the most promising catalytic materials for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the significant activity difference under acidic and alkaline conditions of Fe-N-C remains a long-standing puzzle. In this work, using extensive ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, we revealed that pH conditions influence ORR activity by tuning the surface charge density of the Fe-N-C surface, rather than through the direct involvement of HO or OH ions.
