Origin of Physicochemical and Mechanical Stability of Low‐Temperature Prepared TiO2‐Based Photocatalytic Films: Surface Hydroxyl Density Matching

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Material science advances show how surface chemistry improves low‐temperature prepared TiO2‐SiO2 composite films. Using a colloidal‐based synthesis method instead of a powdered‐based one, researchers exploit hydroxyl groups' interfacial interactions to create nanoscale structures with superior physicochemical and mechanical stability.

Oxygen Vacancy‐Rich S‐Scheme Heterojunction Photocatalyst With Enhanced Interfacial Charge Transfer for Round‐the‐Clock Formaldehyde Degradation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work addresses the critical challenges of severe charge recombination and the dependence on constant light illumination in photocatalysis. We propose a strategy centered on an oxygen vacancy‐rich S‐scheme heterojunction, which enables precise regulation of charge carrier behavior and achieves long‐lasting photocatalytic performance.

Aftasten/Tantear: A sensorial, coalitional wayfinding among Muslim runners

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muslim recreational runners in Muslim‐minority settings that take up running as their preferred form of leisure indicate that they feel they have to navigate a sense of exclusion when running outdoors. This article explores the process of exploration and sensing in public, represented by the Dutch verb aftasten, to investigate the way Muslim ...
