Recent advances and perspectives of MoS2-based materials for photocatalytic dyes degradation: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the development of dyes degradation using currently developed molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-based materials is mainly introduced, and the results show that MoS2-based materials have a broad application prospect in photocatalytic degradation of environmental pollutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Land-use change caused by anthropogenic activities increase fluoride and arsenic pollution in groundwater and human health risk.
TL;DR: Analysis of the temporal and spatial variation of groundwater fluoride (F) and arsenic (As) during 2010-2018 in Shanxi Province of Northern China showed that F exposure, frequency of high concentration, and risk from 2016 to 2018 were higher than that in 2010-2015, and similar results were obtained for As exposure.
