The drive for finding active bifunctional electrocatalysts for efficient overall water splitting continues in order to extract energy in the form of hydrogen as a clean fuel. Bismuth iron molybdenum oxide solid solution, composed of orthorhombic Bi2MoO6 as the major component and monoclinic Bi3(FeO4)(MoO4)2 as the minor component, has been identified as a potential electrocatalyst for the first time.

Approximately 2 billion people still lack access to clean drinking water. Extensive efforts are underway to develop semiconductor photocatalysts for water disinfection and environmental remediation, but conventional liquid-solid diphase interfacial photocatalysts face challenges like low diffusion coefficients and limited solubility of dissolved oxygen. This study introduces freestanding copper oxide fluffy pine needle structures (CO-FPNs) with tunable water pollutants-gas-solid (WGS) triple-phase interfaces that enhance oxygen enrichment and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.

Article Synopsis
  • Rice is a key food in Iran, with large imports from India and Pakistan, but these imports are found to contain dangerous levels of heavy metals that could harm health.
  • A study tested 60 rice samples for 34 different metals, using advanced analysis methods, to evaluate potential health risks associated with consumption, particularly focusing on carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic metals.
  • The results showed that certain samples exceeded safe metal limits, indicating a significant cancer risk for both adults and children, highlighting an urgent need for improved public health measures related to imported rice.

Bismuth oxide (BiVO) is considered one of the most promising semiconductors for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting due to its highly theoretical photocurrent of 7.5 mA cm. However, its sluggish kinetics and severe photocorrosion still hinder the real application of a large-area BiVO photoanode.

Electrochemical water splitting is a promising approach towards a sustainable and renewable energy source. However, the demand for high anodic potential and sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) restrict the efficiency and feasibility of the water-splitting process. In this quest, transition metal oxides and alloys are considered potential candidates owing to their natural occurrence and high redox potential for OER.
