Designing active and stable electrocatalysts with economic efficiency for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for developing water splitting process at an industrial scale. Herein, we rationally designed a tungsten doped iron cobalt phosphide incorporated with carbon (W-FeCoP/C), prepared by a mechanochemical approach. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that the doping of W led to an increasing of Co/Co and Fe/Fe molar ratios, which contributed to the enhanced OER performance. As a result, a current density of 10 mA cm was achieved in 1 M KOH at an overpotential of 264 mV on the optimized W-FeCoP/C. Moreover, at high current density of 100 mA cm, the overpotential value was 310 mV, and the corresponding Tafel slope was measured to be 48.5 mV dec, placing it among the best phosphide-based catalysts for OER. This work is expected to enlighten the design strategy of highly efficient phosphide-based OER catalysts.

In this study, ZnO was doped and co-doped with rhodium and tungsten to assess the impact of these transition metals on the sonocatalytic degradation of reactive black 5 azo dye (RB-5). Structural analysis revealed that doping ZnO with 1% Rh and W does not alter its wurtzite hexagonal structure, although minor changes in cell parameters were observed due to differences in electronic density. Interestingly, co-doping resulted in lower degradation efficiency than single doping, with W-ZnO emerging as the most effective catalyst, achieving 100% RB-5 degradation within 60 min, likely due to a higher density of oxygen vacancies and hydroxyl groups.

Improving the photogenerated carrier separation efficiency of individual semiconductor materials has always been a key challenge in photocatalysis. In this study, we synthesized a novel photocatalytic material, N-CQDs/UBWO, in situ by combining nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) derived from discarded corn stover with ultrathin BiWO nanosheets (UBWO). Detailed characterization indicates that the random distribution of N-CQDs on the UBWO surface increases the specific surface area of UBWO, which is beneficial for the adsorption and degradation of oxytetracycline (OTC).

2D materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are a new class of atomic-layer materials possessing optical and electric properties that significantly depend on the number of layers. Electronic transitions can be manipulated in artificial resonant electromagnetic (EM) fields using metasurfaces and other designed nanostructures. Here, we demonstrate prominently resonant enhancement in the photoluminescence (PL) of atomic monolayer, WS, doped with a small quantity of Mo.

Herein, biocompatible pure tungsten oxide (WO) and zirconium-doped tungsten oxide (Zr-doped WO) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared via a green approach from moringa plants with different doping concentrations (3, 5, and 7 %). The as-synthesized materials were morphologically and optically characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The FTIR spectra clearly showed that two distinguishing bands at 603 and 674 cm of WO were shifted to a higher wavenumber upon doping with zirconium.
