Mixed TiO2–SiO2 thin coatings for selective adsorption and sunlight‐powered photodegradation of cationic pollutants

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Environmental pollution and water scarcity demand innovative purification methods. This study presents a sol‐gel approach to fabricate mixed silica–titania thin films joining photocatalytic activity with selective sorption capability. The films exhibit higher surface area, enhanced degradation of cationic and improved performance over bare titania ...

Design of Well‐Defined Meso‐ or Macroporous Carbon Nitride with an Amorphous Framework via Perovskite Fluoride Templating

Small, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Here, we report a synthetic strategy for meso‐ or macroporous carbon nitride (C3N4) using perovskite‐type metal fluorides (KMF3, M = Co, Ni) as hard templates. The synthesis involves a two‐step thermal treatment. An initial low‐temperature polycondensation of melamine generates polymeric intermediates that stabilize the template/precursor ...
