Cu‐Based MOF/TiO2 Composite Nanomaterials for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Generation and the Role of Copper

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
HKUST‐1/TiO2 composite materials show a very high photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate which increases as a function of the irradiation time until reaching a plateau and even surpasses the performance of the 1%Pt/TiO2 material after three photocatalytic cycles.

Omnidirectionally Bending to the Normal in epsilon-near-Zero Metamaterials

, 2011
Contrary to conventional wisdom that light bends away from the normal at the interface when it passes from high to low refractive index media, here we demonstrate an exotic phenomenon that the direction of electromagnetic power bends towards the normal ...

Engineering Porous Hollow Metal‐Poly(Heptazine Imide) Spheres: An Optimized Synthetic Strategy for Controlling Surface, Morphology, and Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Hollow poly(heptazine imide) spheres are prepared through a novel approach that integrates hard templating with ionothermal synthesis. This method enables precise control over surface area, pore volume, hydrophilicity, light absorption, band position, and metal composition. These tunable properties facilitate the customized design of semiconductors for

Three-point bending performance of carbon steel with random pitting corrosion in marine environments

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Carbon steel is prone to corrosion in marine environments. This significantly deteriorates its bending mechanical properties and has the potential to compromise the long-term serviceability, safety and reliability of marine infrastructure.

Splitting of self-collimated beams in two-dimensional sonic crystals

, 2012
An easy-to-implement scheme to split self-collimated acoustic beams in sonic crystals (SCs) is proposed by introducing line-defects into SCs, by which an incoming self-collimated beam can be split into a 90 degree-bended one and a transmitted one with an
