Highly Electrocatalytic Activity of RuO2 Nanocrystals for Triiodide Reduction in Dye-Sensitized Solar CellsH. F. Wang, H. G. Yang, and co-workers

Solar Cells

Using a new two-step strategy, ruthenium dioxide (RuO2) nanocrystals are successfully synthesized and exploited as counter electrode catalysts, which exhibit promising electrocatalytic activity towards triiodide reduction. By virtue of first-principle calculations, the catalytic mechanism of electrocatalysis for triiodide reduction is systematically investigated by H. F. Wang, H. G. Yang, and co-workers on page 484. It is found that the electrochemical triiodide reduction reaction on RuO2 catalyst surfaces can be significantly enhanced, owing to the ideal combination of good electrocatalytic activity and high electrical conductivity.

Title: Polymeric micelles in porous and nanotube materials as a

new system for extended delivery of poorly soluble drugs

A new implantable drug delivery system that integrates polymer

micelles as drug nanocarrier and nanoporous/nanotubular

platforms to achieve zero order release kinetics and an extended

delivery (>30 days) of poorly water soluble drugs is demonstrated.

Prof. Hua Gui Yang’s and Prof. Hai Feng Wang’s groups

at East China University of Science & Technology,

Shanghai, collectively exposed the real photocatalytic

H2 evolution active sites of Pt/TiO2 on the atomic level

by both experimental and theoretical analysis.

Title: Active sites on hydrogen evolution photocatalyst

A combined experimental and theoretical analysis illustrates that

metallic Pt nanoparticles have little contribution to photocatalytic

H2 evolution; the oxidized Pt species embedded in the TiO2 surface

are the key active sites and are primarily responsible for the activity

of the Pt/TiO2 hydrogen evolution photocatalyst.

Regular ZnO/TiO2 heterojunctions…… were synthesized with a facile wet-chemical method. In their Communication on page 8393 ff. , H. G.Yang et al. report on the synthesis of ZnO/TiO2 heterojunctions in which uniform wurtzite ZnO nanorodarrays grow only on the eight {101} facets of TiO2, while the other two highly reactive {001} faces remainclean. The resulting ZnO/TiO2 heterojunctions exhibit enhanced photocatalytic performance.
