In this work, a series of BiTe/X mol% MoS (X = 0, 25, 50, 75) bulk nanocomposites were prepared by hydrothermal reaction followed by reactive spark plasma sintering (SPS). X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) indicates that the native nanopowders, comprising of BiTe/MoS heterostructure, are highly reactive during the electric field-assisted sintering by SPS. The nano-sized MoS particles react with the BiTe plates matrix forming a mixed-anion compound, BiTeS, at the interface between the nanoplates. The transport properties characterizations revealed a significant influence of the nanocomposite structure formation on the native electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity of the initial BiTe matrix. As a result, enhanced values have been obtained in BiTe/25 mol% MoS over the temperature range of 300-475 K induced mainly by a significant increase in the electrical conductivity.

During the experimental formation of sol-gel coatings, the colloid dispersions go through a drying process, and the structure of the coatings is formed as a result of complex chemical, colloidal, and capillary interactions. While computer simulations provide guidelines to tune and even design the nanomaterials synthesis, simulations of coating structure formation are hitherto unknown in the literature. Based on real experiments, we establish here a ReaxFF reactive force field-based molecular dynamics simulation protocol in order to investigate and determine the role of the experimental conditions on the pore structure formation in the coatings.

Triplet excited states in organic semiconductors are usually optically dark and long-lived as they have a spin-forbidden transition to the singlet ground state and therefore hinder processes in light-harvesting applications. Also, triplets often cause damage to the system as they can sensitize the formation of reactive singlet oxygen. Despite these unfavorable characteristics, there exist mechanisms through which we can utilize triplet states, and that constitutes the scope of this review.

The overexpression of glutathione (GSH) within the tumor microenvironment has long been considered as the major obstacle for reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based antitumor therapies. To address this challenge, a selenite (SeO) and ferric ion co-doped hydroxyapatite (SF-HAP) nanohybrid was synthesized, which is then introduced into poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to prepare porous scaffold by selective laser sintering to continuously release Fe and SeO ions. Of great significance is the released SeO catabolize GSH to generate superoxide anion (O) rather than directly eliminating GSH, thereby reversing the obstacle posed by its overexpression and achieving a "waste-to-treasure" transformation.

Persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs) are considered as efficient techniques for the degradation of contaminants, whereas the effective activation methods for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation play vital roles in PS-AOPs. However, the internal electric field mediated activation methods, like introducing chemicals and materials, are often restricted by their intrinsic properties. Conversely, the introduction of external fields can provide extra energy to remarkably enhance the PS activation performance from outside, acting as an additional impetus to promote the cleavage of OO bond and thus improve the generation efficiency of ROS.

The peroxone reaction, a promising alternative technology for water treatment, is traditionally hampered by its restricted pH operational range and suboptimal oxidant utilization. In this study, we introduced a novel amphoteric metal oxide (ZnO)-regulated peroxone system that transcended the pH limitations of conventional peroxone processes. Our innovative approach exploited the unique properties of ZnO to regulate the reaction pathway of the traditional O/HO (or peroxymonosulfate, PMS) processes, resulting in a 52.
