Sputter-deposited TiO₂films with high visible-light photocatalytic activity were successfully realized by a hybrid TiO₂/Pt/WO₃film structure with Pt nanoparticles uniformly distributed at the interface of the TiO₂and WO₃films.

In previous work, ion imaging experiments and direct chemical dynamics simulations with DFT/B97-1 were performed to study the atomic-level dynamics of the F⁻ + CH₃I → FCH₃ + I⁻ S_N2 reaction at different collision energies.

Tetrapod-shaped ZnO structures were synthesized by a simple FTS approach and have been coated with Ni–P using the electroless deposition process. Ni–P coated T-ZnO exhibits an ultra-wide bandwidth of 10.0 GHz (4.0–14.0 GHz) at RL < −10 dB for the coating thickness of 3.4 mm.
