Flower-like shaped Bi12TiO20/g-C3N4 heterojunction for effective elimination of organic pollutants: Preparation,characterization, and mechanism study

Flower-like shaped Bi₁₂TiO₂₀ (Bismuth Titanate)/g-C₃N₄ (graphite-like carbon nitride) heterojunction was prepared through hydrothermal and sonification methods for the degradation of organic pollutants by visible-light irradiation. The preparation process, chemical structures, and the mechanism of photocatalytic enhancement of the heterostructures were studied systematically. Under visible-light irradiation, the novel flower-like shaped Bi₁₂TiO₂₀/g-C₃N₄ heterojunction demonstrates prominent activities for the degradation of rhodamine B and p-nitrophenol, with the introduction of flower-like shaped Bi₁₂TiO₂₀ into g-C₃N₄ composites greatly increasing the activity of pure g-C₃N₄. This activity enhancement for the heterojunction could be mainly attributed to its low recombination speed of electron–hole pairs, high adsorption ability of organic pollutants, and better optical absorption ability. Moreover, in the visible-light system of Bi₁₂TiO₂₀/g-C₃N₄, ^•OH also contributed to the degradation of pollutants, which may explain the enhanced photocatalytic activity after the introduction of Bi₁₂TiO_20, as ^•OH is inactive in pure g-C₃N₄. Furthermore, 10 wt.% Bi₁₂TiO₂₀/g-C₃N₄ showed not only high activity but also good stability for degradation of aqueous organic pollutants, implying potential applications prospect.     

Chameleonlike metashells in microfluidics: A passive approach to adaptive responses

Heat energy can transfer via convection, conduction, and radiation. Based on convection and conduction in microfluidics, people have designed and fabricated many novel devices. However, almost none of them has adaptivity, thus restricting practical applications under different conditions. To solve this problem, here we propose a passive approach to adaptive responses. That is,we consider the thermal convection-conduction process in microfluidic structures where Darcy’s law and Fourier’s law are both valid. By carefully designing two key parameters(i.e., tensorial thermal conductivity and tensorial permeability) of a metashell,we theoretically reveal that its effective properties(i.e., effective thermal conductivity and effective permeability) can adaptively change according to the inside object, thus yielding the chameleonlike metashell. Further, this metashell is passive since it requires no prior knowledge of the inside object. We also report that the chameleonlike behavior can occur for anisotropic inside objects, nonuniform external fields, or even complex shapes. All theoretical analyses agree well with finite-element simulations.The chameleonlike metashell can act as an intelligent metamaterial in microfluidics for its adaptive responses, and it can also benefit other physical fields where convection plays a role, such as mass diffusion.     

Advancing pulsar science with the FAST

As the rump left behind after an extremely gravity-induced supernova of an evolved massive star,a pulsar is made of cool CBM(i.e.,compressed baryonic matter at a low temperature).Pulsars are not only testbeds for fundamental interactions(e.g.,the nature of gravity[1]and of the strong force at low energies[2]),but also essential tools for detecting nanoHz gravitational waves[3].The pulsar science,whatever,usually depends on the measurement of pulsar radiation,e.g.,pulsar monitoring and timing.Additionally,searching new pulsars for further investigation is also an important focus of this research field.Pulsars have a very good showing,and have never stopped presenting surprises since the first discovery in 1967,because of the continuing development of advanced facilities.     

13C chemical shift tensors in MOF α-Mg3(HCOO)6: Which component is more sensitive to host-guest interaction?

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of important porous materials with many current and potential applications. Their applications almost always involve the interaction between host framework and guest species. Therefore, understanding of host–guest interaction in MOF systems is fundamentally important. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is an excellent technique for investigating host–guest interaction as it provides information complementary to that obtained from X-ray diffraction. In this work, using MOF α-Mg₃(HCOO)₆ as an example, we demonstrated that ¹³C chemical shift tensor of organic linker can be utilized to probe the host–guest interaction in MOFs. Obtaining ¹³C chemical shift tensor components (δ₁₁, δ₂₂, and δ₃₃, where δ₁₁ ≥ δ₂₂ ≥ δ₃₃) in this MOF is particularly challenging as there are six coordinatively equivalent but crystallographically non-equivalent carbons in the unit cell with very similar local coordination environment. Two-dimensional magic-angle-turning experiments were employed to measure the ¹³C chemical shift tensors of each individual crystallographically non-equivalent carbon in three microporous α-Mg₃(HCOO)₆ samples with different guest species. The results indicate that the δ₂₂ component (with its direction approximately being co-planar with the formate anion and perpendicular to the C−H bond) is more sensitive to the adsorbate molecules inside the MOF channel due to the weak C−H···O hydrogen bonding or the ring current effect of benzene. The ¹³C isotropic chemical shift, on the other hand, seems much less sensitive to the subtle changes in the local environment around formate linker induced by adsorption. The approach described in this study may be used in future studies on host–guest interaction within MOFs.
