A misuse of the Tauc plot to determine the band gap energy of semiconductors may lead to
erroneous estimates. Particularly large errors can be associated with characterization of …

Polyoxotitanate nanoparticles play a crucial role as anodes in photovoltaic cells, 1 and as
photocatalysts in processes such as the oxidation of organic compounds in polluted air and …

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are a large class of emerging
contaminants. Here, we develop a 2D/2D Mo 2 C/gC 3 N 4 Van der Waals (VDW) …

We report on the continuous fine-scale tuning of band gaps over 0.4 eV and of the electrical
conductivity of over 4 orders of magnitude in a series of highly crystalline binary alloys of two …

UV–Vis can be used as an easy and forthright technique to accurately estimate the band
gap energy of organic π-conjugated materials, widely used as thin films/composites in …

The focus of designing and synthesizing composite catalysts with high photocatalytic
efficiency is the regulation of nanostructures and optimization of heterojunctions. By …

An automated method to determine the band gap energy (E g) of pure and mixed powder
compounds using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy is presented. This method is based on a …

Abstract Design and preparation of highly efficient and stable cocatalysts are critical to the
improvement of photocatalyst performance. A traditional cocatalyst consists of metal …

In artificial photocatalysis for hydrogen (H 2) generation from water reduction, low apparent
quantum efficiency (AQE) always confines the photocatalytic conversion efficiency. Here, we …

In this Communication, we present the integration of synergetic designs into high-quality,
well-defined Cu1. 94S–Zn x Cd1–x S heteronanorods (0≤ x≤ 1) for enhanced …
