TL;DR: It was found that both holes and electrons, as well as their derived active species, contributed to the RhB degradation occurring on the fluorinated B/C-codoped TiO(2) photocatalyst, in terms of both the photocatalytic reaction dynamics and the reaction pathway.
Abstract: Exploiting advanced photocatalysts under visible light is of primary significance for the development of environmentally relevant photocatalytic decontamination processes. In this study, the ionic liquid (IL), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, was employed for the first time as both a structure-directing agent and a dopant for the synthesis of novel fluorinated B/C-codoped anatase TiO(2) nanocrystals (T(IL)) through hydrothermal hydrolysis of tetrabutyl titanate. These T(IL) nanocrystals feature uniform crystallite and pore sizes and are stable with respect to phase transitions, crystal ripening, and pore collapse upon calcination treatment. More significantly, these nanocrystals possess abundant localized states and strong visible-light absorption in a wide range of wavelengths. Because of synergic interactions between titania and codopants, the calcined T(IL) samples exhibited high visible-light photocatalytic activity in the presence of oxidizing Rhodamine B (RhB). In particular, 300 °C-calcined T(IL) was most photocatalytically active; its activity was much higher than that of TiO(1.98)N(0.02) and reference samples (T(W)) obtained under identical conditions in the absence of ionic liquid. Furthermore, the possible photocatalytic oxidation mechanism and the active species involved in the RhB degradation photocatalyzed by the T(IL) samples were primarily investigated experimentally by using different scavengers. It was found that both holes and electrons, as well as their derived active species, such as (·)OH, contributed to the RhB degradation occurring on the fluorinated B/C-codoped TiO(2) photocatalyst, in terms of both the photocatalytic reaction dynamics and the reaction pathway. The synthesis of the aforementioned novel photocatalyst and the identification of specific active species involved in the photodegradation of dyes could shed new light on the design and synthesis of semiconductor materials with enhanced photocatalytic activity towards organic pollutants.

TL;DR: In this article, a facile organic acid-assisted method was proposed to enhance the performance of the K3V2(PO4)3/C bundled nanowires.
Abstract: Sodium-ion battery has captured much attention due to the abundant sodium resources and potentially low cost. However, it suffers from poor cycling stability and low diffusion coefficient, which seriously limit its widespread application. Here, K3V2(PO4)3/C bundled nanowires are fabricated usinga facile organic acid-assisted method. With a highly stable framework, nanoporous structure, and conductive carbon coating, the K3V2(PO4)3/C bundled nanowires manifest excellent electrochemical performances in sodium-ion battery. A stable capacity of 119 mAh g−1 can be achieved at 100 mA g−1. Even at a high current density of 2000 mA g−1, 96.0% of the capacity can be retained after 2000 charge–discharge cycles. Comparing with K3V2(PO4)3/C blocks, the K3V2(PO4)3/C bundled nanowires show significantly improved cycling stability. This work provides a facile and effective approach to enhance the electrochemical performance of sodium-ion batteries.

TL;DR: In this paper, a subjective generic methodology for providing ship owners with a transparent evaluation tool for selecting their preferred NOx and SOx control techniques is developed, based on data collected from shipping companies, shipyards and maritime academies.
Abstract: This paper develops a subjective generic methodology for providing ship owners with a transparent evaluation tool for selecting their preferred NOx and SOx control techniques. We quantitatively analyse the merits of the control methods available in marine air pollution control practice using data collected from shipping companies, shipyards and maritime academies. We also prioritize the applicable control techniques with respect to operational shipping environments.

TL;DR: Current pollution status in China, the relationship between indoor and outdoor PM2.5, and control of indoor PM 2.5 are presented, and analysis and suggestions for future research are presented.
Abstract: PM2.5 pollution has become a severe problem in China due to rapid industrialization and high energy consumption. It can cause increases in the incidence of various respiratory diseases and resident mortality rates, as well as increase in the energy consumption in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems due to the need for air purification. This paper reviews and studies the sources of indoor and outdoor PM2.5, the impact of PM2.5 pollution on atmospheric visibility, occupational health, and occupants’ behaviors. This paper also presents current pollution status in China, the relationship between indoor and outdoor PM2.5, and control of indoor PM2.5, and finally presents analysis and suggestions for future research.
