Abstract:
... Herein, a novel direct Z-scheme photocatalyst was accomplished by hybridization of 0D MoS₂ quantum dots (MSQDs) and 3D honeycomb-like conjugated triazine polymers (CTP) (namely, CTP-MSQD). The unique 0D/3D hierarchical structure significantly enhanced the exposure of active sites and light harvesting property, while the formed p-n junction enabled the direct strong interface coupling without the n ...

By comparison, MI-Bpy-Cu nanozyme was identified to have excellent laccase-mimicking activity, high stability and catalytic kinetic properties. It may be that the incorporation of 2-methylimidazole helped the nanozymes to build a structure closer to natur ...

Abstract:
... Metal hydrides (MHs) are highly effective for storing hydrogen because of their stability, relatively low temperature and pressure, and high volumetric hydrogen density. However, their gravimetric density is low because of the weights of the MHs, leading to a low potential for mobility applications unless the reactor also acts as a body frame, thereby compensating for the light weight. Triply peri ...

Persimmon cultivars are classified according to pollination and the presence of astringency at harvest. The different characteristics between persimmon cultivars lead to different metabolic pathways ...
