H and O evolutions occur simultaneously for conventional particulate photocatalytic overall water splitting (PPOWS), leading to a significant backward reaction and the formation of an explosive H/O gas mixture. This is an issue that must be addressed prior to industrialization of PPOWS. Here, a convenient, cost-effective, and scalable concept is introduced to uncouple hydrogen and oxygen production for PPOWS. Based on this idea, a three-component photocatalyst, Co(5 %)-HPCN/(rGO/Pt), is constructed, consisting of a photoresponsive chip (HPCN), a H evolution cocatalyst (rGO/Pt), and a cobalt complex capable of reversibly binding O (Co), to achieve the decoupling of PPOWS under alternating UV and visible light irradiations. The asynchronous O and H evolution strategy have considerable flexibility regarding the photocatalyst structure and light sources suitable for PPOWS.

Background: Air purifiers can enhance indoor air quality and health outcomes, and studies have primarily focused on filters and particulate matter (PM) in households. Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) is a promising technique for eliminating gaseous pollutants and bioaerosols. However, no field study was conducted in household.

Purpose: Synthesis and characterization of silver (Ag)/titanium dioxide (TiO) nanocomposite (ATA) to investigate its antiviral activity against the H1N1 influenza virus and antiviral mechanisms.
Materials And Methods: A water-dispersible ATA was prepared by a photocatalytic reduction process from AgNO and TiO. The characterization of ATA was performed by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

The development of photocatalysts must be meticulous, especially when they are designed to degrade hazardous dyes that cause mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. In this meticulous approach, Ni-based metal-organic frameworks with different ligands, including terephthalic acid (NTP), 2-aminoterephthalic acid (NATP), and their composite with g-CN (NTP/GCN, and NATP/GCN) have been synthesized using hydrothermal method. Structural analysis by XRD and ATR-IR revealed synergistic properties due to robust chemical interactions between the NATP-MOFs and GCN systems.

Benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) is a structurally stable and carcinogenic compound, and B(a)P deposition and transport from smoking environment particulates to smoked meat products is a global challenge. In this study, a novel photosensitive bifunctional composite gel (ST/SiO-Mn) was successfully synthesized as a reliable material for reducing PM-B(a)P in the smoke environment. B(a)P removal experiments demonstrated that the adsorption and filtration properties of the gel effectively reduced the emission of PM-B(a)P in smoke environment.
