Heterostructured interfaces can accelerate hydrogen evolution by improving water dissociation, yet their underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study combines in situ Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory to reveal how the RuO2/TiO2 interface promotes both water dissociation and hydrogen adsorption, providing new insights into the ...

Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Anoxia Events in “The Boring Billion”
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Combinatorial doping of TiO_2 with platinum (Pt), chromium (Cr), vanadium (V), and nickel (Ni) to achieve enhanced photocatalytic activity with visible light irradiation [PDF]
Titanium dioxide (TiO_2) was doped with the combination of several metal ions including platinum (Pt), chromium (Cr), vanadium (V), and nickel (Ni). The doped TiO_2 materials were synthesized by standard sol-gel methods with doping levels of 0.1 to 0.5 ...

The electronic and magnetic structure of p-element (C,N) doped rutile-TiO$_{2}$; A hybrid DFT study
We study the electronic and magnetic structure of carbon and nitrogen impurities and interstitials in rutile TiO${_2}$. To this end we perform \textit{ab-initio} calculations of a 48-atom supercell employing the VASP code.

On the Reaction Mechanism of Nitrate Radical and DMPO in Non‐aqueous Photocatalytic Media
This work identifies 2‐oxo‐5,5‐dimethyl‐1‐pyrroline 1‐oxyl (DMPOX), formed via the selective oxidation of 5,5‐dimethyl‐1‐pyrroline N‐oxide (DMPO) by nitrate radicals (NO3•) in nonaqueous media, as a distinctive EPR fingerprint of NO3•. The DFT‐supported mechanism clarifies its formation pathway and highlights DMPOX detection as a robust tool for ...

Thermal study of the anatase–rutile structural transitions in sol–gel synthesized titanium dioxide powders [PDF]
Titanium dioxide powders were synthesized by the sol–gel process using titanium tetrabutoxide as the precursor. The syntheses were performed in saturated aqueous solutions of KCl, CaCl2, NiCl2 , CoCl2 and MnCl2, and in dimethylformamaide (DMF) and ...

This review systematically compares photocatalytic urea synthesis from various C (CO2, CO, CH3OH) and N (N2, NH3, NO3−) sources. It highlights C–N coupling mechanisms, key challenges, and future directions, offering a framework to guide rational catalyst design for sustainable, solar‐driven urea production.

This study examines the structural and chemical evolution of low‐loaded Ir/ATO anodes during PEM water electrolysis under realistic conditions. Iridium dissolution is largely suppressed. In the early stages, both ionomer and support degradation are detected. Morphological reorganization occurs at the interface between the anode catalyst layer (ACL) and
