TL;DR: In this paper, an extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis of spray pyrolysis synthesized TiO2 thin films was performed to locate the position of nitrogen in N-doped phase pure (anatase)TiO2 and evaluate Ti-O bond distances and the coordination number of Ti.

TL;DR: In this paper, reduced graphene oxides were synthesized by chemical reduction of graphite oxide using hydrazine hydrate as well as by high temperature-high vacuum thermal exfoliation at 900-1100°C.

TL;DR: Sunlight-responsive anatase N-doped TiO2 thin films undergoing reversible and switchable hydrophobic to superhydrophilic transition were synthesized by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis in a single step to reveal the major physicochemical process responsible for the Hydrophobic → hydrophilic Transition as surface hydroxylation and that responsible for hydrophic → superhydphilic transition as destruction of surface adsorbed organic species.

TL;DR: In this article, an interfacial engineering of GO decorated with SnO2 quantum dots (QDs) for the visible-light-driven catalysis of dye degradation is reported, where the unique ability of ∼94% degradation of MB using only 0.5 µmg of GO-SnO2 catalyst within half an hour under the visible light is demonstrated for the first time with insights on the photocatalytic mechanism.

TL;DR: The study confirmed the presence of AlN and Cr in bonding with N and found that Cr replaced the Al atom in the AlN lattice and led to a localized CrN species with distorted tetrahedral AlN in the absence of Cr clustering.
