Although TiO₂ is a widely used photocatalyst, its UV-limited activity due to a wide band gap (∼3.2 eV) is enhanced by WS₂ and soot, which extend visible-light absorption, improve charge separation via heterojunction formation, and boost photocatalytic efficiency through electron mediation, dye adsorption, and light scattering. Comparative photodegradation studies using TiO₂, TiO₂/soot, and WS₂-assisted TiO₂/soot nanocomposites (designated as WTS1 and WTS3) revealed significantly improved degradation efficiencies.

Elevated H₂O₂ levels are often present in both tumor and stromal cells during different stages of cancer progression. Therefore, developing stable and efficient methods for H₂O₂ detection is of great importance. In this study, one-dimensional (1D) ordered TiO₂ nanotubes were successfully synthesized via electrochemical anodization in a fluoride-free electrolyte and subsequently annealed at various temperatures and demonstrated promising potential as photoelectrochemical (PEC) catalysts for hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) sensing in human serum samples. The morphology and physicochemical properties of the 1D TiO₂ nanotubes were systematically characterized using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), and X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL). These results demonstrate that thermal annealing enables precise control over phase composition (anatase, rutile, or mixed), as well as the distribution of Ti³⁺/Ti⁴⁺ species and oxygen vacancies.

In this study, self-cleaning, UV-shielding glass coatings were fabricated through a one-step, efficient method using spiropyran and SiO₂/polydimethylsiloxane. This superhydrophobic coating, featuring a water contact angle of 153°, exhibited a transmittance of 82–85 % in the visible range. Upon exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the spiropyran molecule transforms into its merocyanine (MC) form, effectively providing approximately 80 % shielding within the 300–400 nm wavelength range. The merocyanine form spontaneously reverts to the spiropyran form in the absence of UV light. The coating demonstrated exceptional ice-delay performance, postponing ice formation by 389 s compared with that of bare glass. It also demonstrated remarkable stability with 25 cycles of sandpaper abrasion while preserving its structural and functional integrity under diverse conditions, including immersion in organic solvents, exposure to acidic and basic environments, and prolonged UV irradiation for 10 h.

However, each electrode presents intrinsic challenges that must be individually understood and synergistically mitigated to unlock their full potential. In this study, the effectiveness of various lithium salts as electrolyte additives for stabilizing LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ (NCM811) cathodes is investigated. A systematic comparison of lithium tetrafluoroborate, lithium bis(oxalate)borate, lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB), lithium nonafluoro-1-butanesulfonate, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, and lithium trimethylsilanolate (LiTMS) is conducted in a LiPF₆-based electrolyte to evaluate their impact on interfacial chemistry and long-term cycling performance. Among the additives tested, LiDFOB demonstrates the most promising results, retaining approximately 70 % of its initial capacity after 400 cycles at 25 °C and 87.7 % at 50 °C. In contrast, while LiTMS initially appears effective in forming a protective cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI), it ultimately leads to significant impedance growth and capacity degradation over extended cycling. Comprehensive electrochemical evaluations and <em>ex situ</em> characterizations reveal that the interfacial reactivity and integrity of the resulting CEI play a more critical role in determining long-term stability than the mechanical degradation traditionally attributed to particle cracking.
