Trichoderma-amended biofertilizer stimulates soil resident Aspergillus population for joint plant growth promotion

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2022
Application of plant growth-promoting microbes (PGPMs) can contribute to sustainable agricultural ecosystems. From a three-year field experiment, we already found that the addition of Trichoderma bio-organic fertilizer (BF) significantly improved crop ...

Backbone Heterojunction Photocatalysts for Efficient Sacrificial Hydrogen Production

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Herein, a ‘single‐component’ organic semiconductor photocatalyst is presented in which a molecular donor is bonded to a polymer acceptor. The resultant material demonstrates exceptional photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution in aqueous triethylamine with an outstanding external quantum efficiency of 38% at 420 nm.

Reevaluating the Activity of ZIF‐8 Based FeNCs for Electrochemical Ammonia Production

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Though receiving much attention, the field of electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR) to ammonia is marked by doubts about whether this reaction is possible in aqueous media. This work sheds light on this question for iron single‐atom on N‐doped carbon (FeNC) catalysts—a class of well‐known catalysts that is also worth testing for the sister
