TL;DR: In this article, photocatalytic TiO2/SiO2 coatings with excellent super-hydrophilic wettability were prepared on light-weight polycarbonate substrates for self-cleaning applications.

TL;DR: The use of a BDD paste electrode (BDDPE) coupled with microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) to create a low-cost, high-performance electrochemical sensor is reported to demonstrate the capability of BDDPEs as point-of-care sensors when coupled with μ PADs.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that detonation diamond nanoparticles (NDs) with individual diameters of ∼5 nm become conductive when exposed to water, and that the change in resistivity is caused by the shift of the valence band maximum to above the Fermi level.

TL;DR: In this paper, Nitrogen-doped hydrogenated amorphous carbon thin films (a-C:N:H, N-DLC) were synthesized with microwave assisted plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Raman spectrum was used to evaluate the photoactivity of caesium titanates, and the results showed that luminescence and photocatalytic activity of these materials increased with the evolution of methanol solutions.
