TL;DR: In this article, a plasmonic core-shell Ag@ZnO photocatalysts were synthesized at room temperature for use in photocatalysis, and the morphology, size, crystal structure, and composition of the products were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, Xray photoelectron spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible spectrography.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that fluorine ion can remarkably inhibit hydrogen and oxygen recombination in semiconductor photocatalytic dispersion, which is achieved via the occupation of hydrogen adsorption and activation sites by fluorine ions over Pt.

TL;DR: In this paper, two series of dendrimers, which contain normal phenyl or pentafluorophenyl as the end-capped group, were conveniently prepared with high purity and satisfactory yields, through the combination of divergent and convergent approaches, coupled with the utilization of the powerful Sharpless reaction.

TL;DR: The obtained experimental results indicated that the utilization of "H"-type chromophores might be a promising choice to efficiently translate the large beta values of the organic Chromophores into high macroscopic NLO activities of polymers.

TL;DR: In this article, the photothermal effect of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) is introduced in the PEC water splitting process, and a remarkable photocurrent of ∼3.0 mA cm−2 at 1.23 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode (VRHE) was achieved under NIR light irradiation.
