Systematic optimization of the photocatalyst and investigation of the role of each component is important to maximizing catalytic activity and comprehending the photocatalytic conversion of CO_(2) reduction to solar fuels.A surface-modified Ag@Ru-P25 photocatalyst with H_(2)O_(2) treatment was designed in this study to convert CO_(2) and H_(2)O vapor into highly selective *** doping followed by Ag nanoparticles(NPs)cocatalyst deposition on P25(TiO_(2))enhances visible light absorption and charge separation,whereas H_(2)O_(2) treatment modifies the surface of the photocatalyst with hydroxyl(–OH)groups and promotes CO_(2) ***-resonance transmission electron microscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,X-ray absorption near-edge structure,and extended X-ray absorption fine structure techniques were used to analyze the surface and chemical composition of the photocatalyst,while thermogravimetric analysis,CO_(2) adsorption isotherm,and temperature programmed desorption study were performed to examine the significance of H_(2)O_(2) treatment in increasing CO_(2) reduction *** optimized Ag1.0@Ru1.0-P25 photocatalyst performed excellent CO_(2) reduction activity into CO,CH4,and C2H6 with a~95%selectivity of CH4,where the activity was~135 times higher than that of pristine TiO_(2)(P25).For the first time,this work explored the effect of H_(2)O_(2) treatment on the photocatalyst that dramatically increases CO_(2) reduction activity.

Three-dimensional laser scanning confocal microscopy has revealed that filamentous actin, when complexed with the cross-linking protein α-actinin, will spontaneously assemble on a micron scale into a structure comprised of a relatively rigid, frequently branching, 3D network of bundles with characteristic mesh size of the order of the persistence length of F-actin. In contrast, additional nanoscale ordering is observed, as synchrotron x-ray diffraction has revealed a disordered, distorted square lattice of actin fibers within the individual bundles.

The present study describes the recent investigation of boronized surface coating on Steel, Ni super alloy and pure Tantalum. The coatings were produced by thermo-chemical treatment with an original technology powder mixture at the temperature range of 850-1050°C. Metallographic examination, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and microhardness testing were used to determine the characteristics of the diffusion layer compared with the substrate. The continuous weighting method and the potentiodynamic polarization measurements were used to investigate the corrosion resistance of the specimen surface before and after boronizing. Also, the high temperature oxidation method detected by differential thermal analysis (TGA) was used to observe the oxidation resistance of unboronized and boronized specimens. It was shown that the boronizing process created a boride layer with a thickness of 10-80 μm depending on substrates, temperatures, and times, with microhardness of about 8-10 times greater than that of the substrate. The corrosion resistance of the boronized coating was determined to be 6-10 times higher than that of the substrate. As well, the oxidation resistance of the boronized coating was 3-5 times better than that of the substrate.
