TL;DR: Intrinsic oxygen-vacancy defects, which are formed on TiO2(001) and TiO 2(101) surfaces by ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation and at elevated temperatures, are found to be most effective in anchoring the SO2 gas molecules to theTiO2 surfaces.

TL;DR: In this article, NiO particles were prepared by advanced reactive gas evaporation and were investigated for gas sensing applications, specifically for detecting reducing (H2S) and oxidizing (NO2) species.

TL;DR: In this article, in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to study surface reactions as a function of time and number of experimental cycles and micro-kinetic modeling showed that crotonaldehyde formation occurs spontaneously on TiO2 but is impeded on SO4TiO2, where instead acetaldehyde desorption is significant.

TL;DR: In this paper, double-sided antireflection coatings based on dip coating can enhance the transmittance significantly, tandem foils can yield a ratio between bleached-state and colored-state transmittances exceeding fifty, and solar irradiance onto the EC device can enhance its charge insertion dynamics and thereby its optical modulation.

TL;DR: It is shown that a new method to functionalize wide band gap oxide surfaces by means of photoinduced reactions in reactive gases at elevated substrate temperatures is suggested, which yields surfaces with excellent oleophobic properties, as probed by adhesion of stearic acid.
