TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the progress over the last 5 years in the use of pyrochlore-like oxides as promising photocatalysts for various applications, namely, optimisation of their preparation method, band gap engineering, incorporation of plasmonic metals, and creation of heterojunctions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for modifying the surface of anatase polymorphic particles with gold or silver nanoparticles has been developed, which involves the UV-induced formation of Au (Ag) nanoparticles from the corresponding precursors (HAuCl4 or AgNO3) in a solution of a stabilizing polymer, rather than dispersing TiO2 particles in the resulting colloidal solution, and subsequent enzymatic destruction of chitosan.

TL;DR: In this paper, two new isostructural mixed-valent tellurium oxides, CsTeMoO6 (1) and RbTe1.25Mo0.6 (2), have been synthesized by solid-state reactions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis.

TL;DR: The contribution of surface roughness of nonporous polymeric membranes to their gas separation and mechanical properties was studied in terms of surface free energy and it was shown that the mechanical properties of the polymer membranes are also influenced by the surface energy, namely, its dispersive component.

TL;DR: The high-temperature phase transition of the CsNbMoO 6 and CsTaMoO6 nonlinear optical β-pyrochlores has been studied by differential thermal analysis, differential scanning calorimetric analysis, high- temperature X-ray diffraction analysis, and second harmonic generation analysis.
