The leaf photosynthetic capacity, leaf N partitioning, non-structural carbohydrate content, C, N, and P contents of endangered seedlings exposed to different light intensities were compared in this study. The most favorable light condition for the survival and growth of seedlings in the present study was 100% full sunlight, as this induced higher , PNUE, , , , and NSC content relative to shade-treated seedlings. PNUE, , , and in seedling leaves decreased under 40% and 10% full sunlight, while increased, indicating that shade increased the light capture efficiency of photosystem (PS) II but decreased electron transfer from PSII to PSI. Furthermore, leaf N content increased with shade intensity, revealing an adaptive strategy for poor light environments. Additionally, the smallest leaf biomass, , WUE, and values and C:N and C:P ratios in stems and leaves were observed under 10% full sunlight. These results indicate that seedlings growing under 40% full sunlight will benefit . conservation.

TiO has broad prospects in reducing the safety risks posed by emerging pollutants in water environments. However, the high recombination rate of photogenerated carriers limits the activity and photon utilization efficiency of TiO. In this study, mesoporous TiO (m-TiO) and ultra-thin g-CN nanosheets were composited using a hydrothermal method, with the m-TiO tightly and uniformly wrapped by g-CN.

Photosynthesis in nature begins with light harvesting. The special pigment-protein complex converts sunlight into electron excitation that is transmitted to the reaction center, which triggers charge separation. Evidence shows that quantum coherence between electron excited states is important in the excitation energy transfer process.

The synthesis of crystalline covalent organic frameworks (COFs) has in principle relied on reversible dynamic chemistry. A general method to synthesize irreversibly bonded COFs is urgently demanded for driving the COF chemistry to a new era. Here we report a universal two-step method for the straightforward synthesis of irreversibly amide-linked COF (AmCOF) membranes by autocatalytic interfacial polymerization (AIP).

Designing and optimizing photocatalysts to maximize the use of sunlight and achieve fast charge transport remains a goal of photocatalysis technology. Herein, a full-spectrum-response BiOBr:Er@BiO core-shell S-scheme heterojunction is designed with [Bi─O] tetrahedral sharing using upconversion (UC) functionality, photothermal effects, and interfacial engineering. The UC function of Er and plasmon resonance effect of BiO greatly improves the utilization of sunlight.
