Turning Humidity Into Function: Heterojunction Interfaces for Dual‐Mode Removal of Nonpolar Vapors

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A wire‐grown MIL–88B(Fe)@Fe3(PO4)2 heterojunction converts ambient humidity into a functional mediator for nonpolar VOC purification. Water forms a hydration layer that enhances cyclohexane uptake while simultaneously promoting •OH generation, resulting in synergistic adsorption–photocatalysis under humid conditions.

Defect‐Driven Charge Separation in Ba‐Doped SrTiO3: Correlating Photoelectrochemical Performance With Dye‐Selective Photocatalysis

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Ba‐doped SrTiO3 perovskites establish a direct correlation between photoelectrochemical activity and photocatalytic performance. Optimized Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 exhibits enhanced charge separation, photocurrent generation, and visible‐light‐driven dye degradation through defect‐induced oxygen vacancies and lattice distortion.
