TL;DR: In this article, the authors have synthesized chemically modified titanium dioxide photocatalysts in which S (S4+) substitutes for some of the lattice titanium atoms, which showed strong absorption for visible light and high activities for degradation of methylene blue, 2-propanol in aqueous solution and partial oxidation of adamantane under irradiation at wavelengths longer than 440nm.
Abstract: Although titanium dioxide photocatalysts having anatase phase are a promising substrate for photodegradation of pollutants in water and air, their photocatalytic activities show only under ultraviolet (UV) light. For us to utilized a wide range of incident light such as solar light, development of the photocatalysts whose activities show under visible light is one of the most important strategies. We have synthesized chemically modified titanium dioxide photocatalysts in which S (S4+) substitutes for some of the lattice titanium atoms. They show strong absorption for visible light and high activities for degradation of methylene blue, 2-propanol in aqueous solution and partial oxidation of adamantane under irradiation at wavelengths longer than 440 nm. The oxidation state of the S atoms incorporated into the TiO2 particles is determined to be mainly S4+ from X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) spectra.

TL;DR: In this paper, the generalized stability theory of the synchronized motions of the coupled oscillator systems was developed with the use of the extended Lyapunov matrix approach, and the explicit formula for a stability parameter was given.
Abstract: The general stability theory of the synchronized motions of the coupled· oscillator systems is developed with the use of the extended Lyapunov matrix approach. We give the explicit formula for a stability parameter of the synchronized state W unlfWhen the coupling strength is weakened, the coupled system may exhibit several types of non· synchronized motion. In particular, if W Unlf is chaotic, we always get a transition from chaotic Wunlf to a certain non· uniform state and finally the non·uniform chaos. Details associated with such transition are investigated for the coupled Lorenz model. As an application of the theory, we propose a new experimental method to directly measure the positive Lyapunov exponent of intrinsic chaos in reaction systems.

TL;DR: An intelligent learning model called “Brain Intelligence (BI)” is developed that generates new ideas about events without having experienced them by using artificial life with an imagine function and will be tested on automatic driving, precision medical care, and industrial robots.
Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is an important technology that supports daily social life and economic activities. It contributes greatly to the sustainable growth of Japan's economy and solves various social problems. In recent years, AI has attracted attention as a key for growth in developed countries such as Europe and the United States and developing countries such as China and India. The attention has been focused mainly on developing new artificial intelligence information communication technology (ICT) and robot technology (RT). Although recently developed AI technology certainly excels in extracting certain patterns, there are many limitations. Most ICT models are overly dependent on big data, lack a self-idea function, and are complicated. In this paper, rather than merely developing next-generation artificial intelligence technology, we aim to develop a new concept of general-purpose intelligence cognition technology called "Beyond AI". Specifically, we plan to develop an intelligent learning model called "Brain Intelligence (BI)" that generates new ideas about events without having experienced them by using artificial life with an imagine function. We will also conduct demonstrations of the developed BI intelligence learning model on automatic driving, precision medical care, and industrial robots.

TL;DR: Improved capacitance performance was successfully realized for the ASC (Co3O4//carbon), better than those of the SSCs based on nanoporous carbon and nanoporous Co3O 4 materials (i.e., carbon//carbon and Co3o4//Co3 O4).
Abstract: Nanoporous carbon and nanoporous cobalt oxide (Co3O4) materials have been selectively prepared from a single metal–organic framework (MOF) (zeolitic imidazolate framework, ZIF-67) by optimizing the annealing conditions. The resulting ZIF-derived carbon possesses highly graphitic walls and a high specific surface area of 350 m2·g–1, while the resulting ZIF-derived nanoporous Co3O4 possesses a high specific surface area of 148 m2·g–1 with much less carbon content (1.7 at%). When nanoporous carbon and nanoporous Co3O4 were tested as electrode materials for supercapacitor application, they showed high capacitance values (272 and 504 F·g–1, respectively, at a scan rate of 5 mV·s–1). To further demonstrate the advantages of our ZIF-derived nanoporous materials, symmetric (SSCs) and asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) were also fabricated using nanoporous carbon and nanoporous Co3O4 electrodes. Improved capacitance performance was successfully realized for the ASC (Co3O4//carbon), better than those of the SSCs bas...

TL;DR: Photovoltaic performances of all-solid state Sn/Pb halide-based perovskite solar cells, which has the following composition: F-doped SnO2 layered glass/compact titania layer/porous titanialayer/CH3NH3SnxPb(1-x)I3/regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl).
Abstract: We report photovoltaic performances of all-solid state Sn/Pb halide-based perovskite solar cells. The cell has the following composition: F-doped SnO2 layered glass/compact titania layer/porous titania layer/CH3NH3SnxPb(1–x)I3/regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl). Sn halide perovskite itself did not show photovoltaic properties. Photovoltaic properties were observed when PbI2 was added in SnI2. The best performance was obtained by using CH3NH3Sn0.5Pb0.5I3 perovskite. 4.18% efficiency with open circuit voltage 0.42 V, fill factor 0.50, and short circuit current 20.04 mA/cm2 are reported. The edge of the incident photon to current efficiency curve reached 1060 nm, which was 260 nm red-shifted compared with that of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells.
