TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional hierarchical photocatalyst was designed with a novel Z-scheme two-photon excitation, defined by the complementary absorption of higher energy and lower energy photons by cadmium sulfide nanowires (CdS NWs) and cobalt-benzimidazole (Co-bIm) coordination polymers (CBPs).
Abstract: Similar to natural photosynthetic systems, artificial photosynthetic systems require synergistic cooperation between light harvesting, charge separation and redox catalysis. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical photocatalyst is designed with a novel Z-scheme two-photon excitation, defined by the complementary absorption of higher energy and lower energy photons by cadmium sulfide nanowires (CdS NWs) and cobalt–benzimidazole (Co-bIm) coordination polymers (CBPs), respectively. Without any noble-metal co-catalyst, the microscopically integrated CdS–CBP photocatalysts demonstrated dramatically enhanced photocatalytic activities of H2 evolution, which were up to 10.6 folds higher than those of pristine CdS NWs. Structurally, the intimate interfacial contact between the 3D CdS NW scaffold and the discrete CBP microstructures benefits their strong electronic interaction and efficient charge separation. Upon simultaneous light excitation, a tandem solid-state electron flow from CdS to CBP and then from metal (Co) to ligand (bIm) precisely catalyzes the reduction of pre-activated H atoms on the bIm ligands for efficient H2 evolution.

TL;DR: Considering no demand of noble metal for HCHO removal at ambient temperature and practical reusable capability of Na-CH under mild conditions, this work may provide some new insights into the design and fabrication of advanced catalysts for indoor air purification.
Abstract: NaOH-modified ceramic honeycombs (Na-CH) were simply prepared by impregnating ceramic honeycombs (CH) into NaOH aqueous solution. It was clearly shown that the surface modification incurs higher specific surface area and smaller grain sizes of the CH without destruction of their integrity. Moreover, the introduced surface NaOH can trigger Cannizzaro disproportionation of surface-absorbed formaldehyde (HCHO) on Na-CH, resulting in catalytic transformation of HCHO into less-toxic formate and methoxy salts. The NaOH concentration during impregnating treatment has a great influence on HCHO adsorption and removal efficiency, while the impregnation time and temperature have little influence on the efficiency. When the CH was impregnated in 1 M NaOH aqueous solution for 0.5 h at room temperature, the HCHO removal efficiency at ambient temperature can reach about 80% with an initial HCHO concentration of 250 ppm. Moreover, the used Na-CH can be facilely regenerated via 1 min blow using a common electric hair dryer, with the generation of less toxic HCOOH and CH3OH and recovery of NaOH. Using such a mild, fast, and practical regeneration method, the regenerated Na-CH showed slight degradation in adsorption and removal capability toward HCHO. The enhanced performance of Na-CH obtained was attributed to the presence of NaOH and increase of specific surface area and surface hydroxyl groups. Considering no demand of noble metal for HCHO removal at ambient temperature and practical reusable capability of Na-CH under mild conditions, this work may provide some new insights into the design and fabrication of advanced catalysts for indoor air purification.

TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to improve both the light extraction efficiency (LEE) and current spreading of an FCLED by incorporating a highly reflective metallic reflector made from silver (Ag), which paves the way towards higher-performance LED technology.
Abstract: High-power flip-chip light-emitting diodes (FCLEDs) suffer from low efficiencies because of poor p-type reflective ohmic contact and severe current crowding. Here, we show that it is possible to improve both the light extraction efficiency (LEE) and current spreading of an FCLED by incorporating a highly reflective metallic reflector made from silver (Ag). The reflector, which consists of an Ag film covered by three pairs of TiW/Pt multilayers, demonstrates high reflectance of 95.0% at 460 nm at arbitrary angles of incidence. Our numerical simulation and experimental results reveal that the FCLED with Ag-based reflector exhibits higher LEE and better current spreading than the FCLED with indium-tin oxide (ITO)/distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). As a result, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of FCLED with Ag-based reflector was 6.0% higher than that of FCLED with ITO/DBR at 750 mA injection current. Our work also suggests that the EQE of FCLED with the Ag-based reflector could be further enhanced 5.2% by replacing the finger-like n-electrodes with three-dimensional (3D) vias n-electrodes, which spread the injection current uniformly over the entire light-emitting active region. This study paves the way towards higher-performance LED technology.
