Bridging interfacial water structure and reactivity in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution at TiO₂ interfaces

Bridging interfacial water structure and reactivity in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution at TiO₂ interfaces

Key Points

Hydrogen (H2) evolution via photocatalytic water splitting is an environmentally friendly and sustainable technology for solar-to-chemical energy conversion. Although interfacial interactions are recognized as key determinants of photocatalytic performance, systematic experimental studies explicitly targeting the structure and reactivity of the water-catalyst interface remain limited. A major challenge lies in probing the molecular structure of interfacial water, especially under...

What makes Australia one of the safest countries in a doomsday scenario?

Australia among safest countries in the world when global disaster strikes Australia could be one of the safest places on Earth if, or rather when, a global catastrophe strikes. New research has found Australia's isolation, self-sufficiency, and political stability mean it can withstand most crises. The catastrophe could be anything from nuclear winter to asteroid strikes, or even a technological doomsday.

Tung Chee-hwa had a clear vision for Hong Kong

The death of Tung Chee-hwa at age 89 has prompted a necessary reckoning with the legacy of Hong Kong’s first chief executive. Two decades after his resignation, the question endures: was Tung a hapless administrator overwhelmed by crisis, or a prescient leader constrained by circumstance and an unforgiving political environment? The contrasting assessments of political scientist Sonny Lo Shiu-hing and former Central Policy Unit head Lau Siu-kai frame this debate sharply.
