TL;DR: In this article, a simple and cost-effective one-step hydrothermal method, which was based on the reactions of tin(IV) chloride pentahydrate and different dosages of thioacetamide in water at 190°C for 6h, was employed for the synthesis of composition-tunable SnS 2 /SnO 2 nanoheterojunctions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive overview of compositional and structural properties of hollow heterostructure, which provides a large surface area, void spaces, and multiple interfaces for electrolytes/reactants impregnation, reduced diffusion lengths for mass transport, as well as structural strength for suppressing agglomeration, is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel class of cost-efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), employing carbon dots (CDs), is reported, benefiting from the successful incorporation of CDs into MnO2 nanoflowers, the resultant CDs-MnO2 with high surface areas, enhanced conductivity, as well as fast charge transfer pathways display not only greatly promoted EC activity but also high stability for OER.

TL;DR: Although transition metal materials are extensively studied for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) because of their intrinsic electrochemical properties, their practical applications have been hinde... as mentioned in this paper, their practical application has been hind

TL;DR: In this article, a simple, effective and environmental-friendly method was adopted for enhancing the photocatalytic activity of g-C 3 N 4 in the reduction of aqueous Cr 6+ under visible-light irradiation.
