AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A new design for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with on-chip photocatalysts is presented for purification applications. An array of disk-shaped TiO, with a diameter of several hundred nanometers, combined with SiO pedestals was fabricated directly on the surface of an InGaN-based near-ultraviolet (UV) LED using a dry etching process. The high refractive-index contrast at the boundary and the circular shape can effectively confine the near-UV light generated from the LED through multiple internal reflections inside the TiO nanodisks. Such a feature results in the enhancement of light absorption by the photocatalytic TiO. The degradation of the organic dye malachite green was monitored as a model photocatalytic reaction. The proposed structure of LEDs with TiO/SiO nanodisk/pedestal array exhibited a photocatalytic activity that was three times higher than the activity of LEDs with a TiO planar layer. The integration of photocatalytic materials with near-UV LEDs in a single system is promising for various purification applications, such as sterilization and disinfection.

Organic pollutants removal via a polymerization transfer (PT) pathway based on the use of single-atom catalysts (SACs) promises efficient water purification with minimal energy/chemical inputs. However, the precise engineering of such catalytic systems toward PT decontamination is still challenging, and the conventional SACs are plagued by low structural stability of carbon material support. Here, we adopted magnesium oxide (MgO) as a structurally stable alternative for loading single copper (Cu) atoms to drive peroxymonosulfate-based Fenton-like reactions.

Herein, we report a sustainable and efficient method for the synthesis of structurally diverse phthalimidines from 2-formylbenzoic acid and primary amines using an iridium-catalyzed reductive lactamization strategy. The advantages of this method, such as the use of water-ethanol as a solvent, broad substrate scope, high catalyst efficiency (/ up to 10000), good scalability, and easy purification, enable it to be a practical approach to phthalimidines. It is suggested that iridium hydride formation is involved in the rate-limiting step.

DNA, as natural polymers, not only serves as the genetic material but also shows great potential as assistants for efficient and targeted nanoparticle separation. This is due to its high programmability, excellent biocompatibility, and stability for effectively binding with various types of nanoparticles or bioparticles, while modifying physical properties of target particles such as charge, mass and size. Researchers have achieved remarkable efficiency in separating nanoparticles by precisely designing DNA sequences and their interactions with target particles.

In this work, magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer (MMIP) capable of selectively recognizing and adsorbing cordycepin was prepared. The MMIP was prepared using cordycepin as the template molecule, methacrylic acid and acrylamide as the functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the crosslinker. The MMIP was analyzed using various techniques including transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer and x-ray diffraction.
