Atmospheric CO_2 capture and photofixation to near-unity CO by Ti~(3+)-V_o-Ti~(3+) sites confined in TiO_2 ultrathin layers

To realize efficient atmospheric CO_2 chemisorption and activation,abundant Ti~(3+) sites and oxygen vacancies in TiO_2 ultrathin layers were designed.Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy and theoretical calculations first unveil each oxygen vacancy is associated with the formation of two Ti~(3+) sites,giving a Ti~(3+)-V_o-Ti~(3+)configuration.The Ti~(3+)-V_o-Ti~(3+) sites could bond with CO_2 molecules to form a stable configuration,which converted the endoergic chemisorption step to an exoergic process,verified by in-situ Fourier-transform infrared spectra and theoretical calculations.Also,the adjacent Ti~(3+) sites not only favor CO_2 activation into COOH*via forming a stable Ti~(3+)–C–O–Ti~(3+) configuration,but also facilitate the rate-limiting COOH~* scission to CO~* by reducing the energy barrier from 0.75 to 0.45 e V.Thus,the Ti~(3+)-V_o-TiO_2 ultrathinlayers could directly capture and photofix atmospheric CO_2 into near-unity CO,with the corresponding CO_2-to-CO conversion ratio of ca. 20.2%.

Polarization diversity two-dimensional grating coupler on x-cut lithium niobate on insulator

We propose and demonstrate a polarization diversity two-dimensional grating coupler based on the lithium niobate on insulator platform, for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The optimization design, performance characteristics,and fabrication tolerance of the two-dimensional grating coupler are thoroughly analyzed utilizing the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method. Experimentally,-7.2 d B of coupling efficiency is achieved with 1 d B bandwidth of64 nm. The polarization-dependent loss is about 0.4 d B around 1550 nm. Our work provides new polarization multiplexing approaches for the lithium niobate on insulator platform, paving the way for critical applications such as high-speed polarization multiplexed electro-optical modulators.
