TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate a feasible strategy of polymerizing the quantum-thick graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) on to the surface of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanosheets with exposed {001} facets to form the TiO2@g-c 3N4 (TCN) core-shell quantum heterojunction for improving photocatalytic tetracycline degradation activity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the precursor precipitates of ZnO were obtained by a direct precipitation method via the reaction between Zinc nitrate (Zn(NO 3 ) 2 ) and Ammonium carbonate ((NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 ) in aqueous solutions with proper concentration.

TL;DR: A gradient phosphorus-doped CdS (CdS-P) homojunction nanostructure is reported, creating an oriented built-in electric-field for efficient extraction of carriers from inside to surface of the photocatalyst, providing a new approach to design other types of semiconductor photocatalysts for efficient solar-to-chemical conversion.

TL;DR: In this article, an effective approach for achieving high-yield solar steam generation via the synergy of 2D nanostructure-embedded all-in-one hybrid hydrogel evaporator and surface patterning is reported.

TL;DR: The proof-of-concept experiment demonstrates that 2D-encoded patterns based on dual-mode emitting nanomaterials are very promising for anti-counterfeiting applications, and is believed that this preliminary study will advance the development of the fluorescent materials for potential applications in anti- counterfeiting and optical multiplexing.
