Photodegradation in terrestrial ecosystems

New Phytologist
SummaryThe first step in carbon (C) turnover, where senesced plant biomass is converted through various pathways into compounds that are released to the atmosphere or incorporated into the soil, is termed litter decomposition. This review is focused on recent advances of how solar radiation can affect this important process in terrestrial ecosystems ...

Efficient Concentration and Complete Destruction of Short‐Chain and Emerging PFAS in Contaminated Water via Integrated Interface Engineering‐Enhanced Carbon Felt Sorption and Photochemical Processes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A closed‐loop “Concentrate‐Destroy” strategy is presented for completely eliminating short‐chain and emerging PFAS, in which the new 3D PPy@P‐CF is used for efficiently concentrating PFAS and Cu2+‐mediated photodegradation is applied for the completely destroying PFAS in the sorbent regeneration eluent.

Unveiling the Photodegradation Mechanism of Monochlorinated Naphthalenes under UV-C Irradiation: Affecting Factors Analysis, the Roles of Hydroxyl Radicals, and DFT Calculation

Molecules
Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) are a new type of persistent organic pollutant (POP) characterized by persistence, bioaccumulation, dioxin-like toxicity, and long-range atmospheric transport. Focusing on one type of PCN, monochlorinated naphthalenes (

Oxygen Vacancy‐Mediated Bi─O Unsaturation Coordination in BiOCl for Efficient Photocatalytic Water Purification

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The incorporation of oxygen vacancies (OVs) presents a viable strategy for fine‐tuning the photocatalytic prowess of BiOCl. A reliable hydrogen annealing reduction technique is employed to precisely design OVs, thereby optimizing the light absorption capacity, as well as the efficiency of carrier migration and separation in BiOCl.

D–A Type Perylene Micelles With Synergistic Charge/Energy Transfer for Dual‐Path ROS Generation and Enhanced Photocatalysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dual‐state activation of singlet and triplet excitons is achieved in perylene‐based nanomicelles via donor engineering. By synergistically pairing charge transfer with energy transfer pathways, while concurrently enabling pollutant pre‐enrichment, this strategy establishes spatial coupling between efficient ROS generation and rapid mineralization ...

Ferroelectric Catalysts in the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction: A Perspective

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This perspective summarizes recent advances in ferroelectric (FE) catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). It first introduces HER fundamentals and FE mechanisms, then classifies FE catalysts into single‐phase, single‐atom‐modified, heterostructured, and other engineered types, with representative examples.

Monolithic Porous Polymer Architectures for Visible‐to‐UV Upconversion‐Driven Photochemical Reactions

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Porous polymer monoliths embedded with sensitizer–annihilator dye pairs enable efficient solid‐state visible‐to‐ultraviolet triplet–triplet annihilation‐based photon upconversion under low‐intensity blue and green light. Their co‐continuous porous architectures balance chromophore interactions with substrate accessibility, providing robust and tunable ...

The use of UV-VIS spectroscopy for determiningthe photostability of epirubicin solutions

Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, 2009
Photostability of epirubicin – an anticancer drug – was investigated. The solution samples were exposed to UV-A and VIS radiation and the photodegradation process was monitored by using a spectrophotometric method. Epirubicin was shown to be photolabile

Protonation‐Gated Orthogonal Control of Highly Efficient Molecular Motors With Broad Visible‐Light Responsiveness

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Reversible protonation gates coumarin‐based overcrowded‐alkene molecular motors by dynamically reshaping their conjugation topology. This strategy enables efficient, near‐quantitative unidirectional photoisomerization from blue–green to red‐shifted visible light up to 600 nm, while preserving motor function and allowing orthogonal light, heat, and acid/
