Yeehaw! The rotation of a visible-light-driven molecular motor based on barbituric acid is tamed by hydrogen bonding “lasso” mechanism between its serendipitously-formed tertiary hydroxy stereocentre and lower half carbonyl groups.

Abstract Perovskites are of significant interest in the field photocatalysis. To date, many perovskite nanostructures have been developed, and their applications photocatalysis studied. There has considerable improvement research on metal doping structure to improve optical structural properties. This mini-review examines recent progress synthesis lead-free double nanoparticles application visi...

LaTaON2 is an attractive visible-light-active photocatalyst for water splitting due to its broad visible light absorption as far 650 nm and proper band edge positions. Notwithstanding these promising properties, generally exhibits poor photocatalytic activity because of high defect concentration that severely hinders charge separation. Here, has been modified by doping Al into the Ta sublattice...

In this work, highly crystalline CdS nanorods (NRs) were successfully synthesized by a facile, one-step solvothermal method. The as-prepared NRs powder was characterized XRD, FESEM, Raman, PL, XPS, BET, and UV-visible techniques to evaluate the structural, morphological, optical properties. photocatalytic performance of as-synthesized investigated for photodegradation RhB dye under visible ligh...
