Abstract The photocatalytic conversion of CO 2 into solar‐powered fuels is viewed as a forward‐looking strategy to address energy scarcity and global warming. This work demonstrated the selective photoreduction using ultrathin Bi 12 O 17 Cl nanosheets decorated with hydrothermally synthesized bismuth clusters oxygen vacancies (OVs). characterizations revealed that coexistences OVs generated in ...

Direct methane (CH4) conversion to value-added chemicals through photocatalysis is promising still remains great challenges in both efficient activation of C-H bonds and suppression over-oxidation. Herein, palladium nanoparticles (Pd) oxygen vacancies (OVs) co-modified TiO2 photocatalysts were prepared employed for photocatalytic CH4 at room temperature. Under optimized conditions with O2 water...

The systemic administration of oncolytic virus (OV) is often inefficient due to clearance of the virus by host defense mechanism and spurious targeting of non-cancer tissues through the bloodstream. Cell mediated OV delivery could hide the virus from host defenses and direct them toward tumors: Mesenchymal and neural stem cells have been described to possess tumor-homing ability as well as the ...

In two visual word eye tracking studies, we investigated the influence of prosody and case marking on children’s and adults’ thematic role assignment. We assigned an SVO/ OVS-biasing (vs. neutral) prosodic contour to unambiguously case marked German subject-verb-object (SVO) and object-verb-subject (OVS) sentences respectively. Scenes depicted ambiguous action events (e.g., donkey-paints->eleph...

Pulsed-laser deposited (Pb,Sr)TiO(3) (PSrT) films on Pt/SiO(2)/Si substrate at various ambient oxygen pressures (P(O(2))) are investigated in this work. Films deposited at P(O(2)) below 100 mTorr exhibit the (100) preferred orientation and a tetragonal structure with larger tetragonality. In addition, films deposited at 80 mTorr exhibit the most apparent ferroelectric properties in contrast to ...

A perovskite catalyst combined with various advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to treat organic wastewater attracted extensive attention. The physical and chemical catalytic properties of were largely related oxygen vacancies (OVs). In this paper, the recent advances in regulation OVs for enhancing functionality was reviewed, such as substitution, doping, heat treatment, wet-chemical redox rea...

Development of catalysts for the electrochemical oxygen reactions, namely, reduction reaction (ORR) and evolution (OER), is critical application various renewable energy technologies. The aim this work to prepare low-cost MnO2 electrocatalyst with high activity ORR OER via introduction surface vacancies (OVs). Herein, procedure thermal heating treatment under air or H2 has been demonstrated as ...
