The synergy between polyvinylpyrrolidone and enriched oxygen vacancies can promote the adsorption of reactants (TMB and O2) and desorption of reaction products, which results in the enhanced oxidase-mimetic activity of CeO2 nanoflowers.

In this work, sulfur-doped (S-doped) TiO2 with the (001) face exposed was synthesized by thermal chemical vapor deposition at 180 or 250 °C using S/Ti molar ratios R S/Ti of 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The S-doped samples synthesized at 250 °C exhibit a significantly improved photocatalytic performance. More precisely, S-doping has the following effects on the material: (1) S can adopt different chemical states in the samples. Specifically, it exists in the form of S2− replacing O2− at a ratio of R S/Ti = 1 and also in the form of S6+ replacing Ti4+ at R S/Ti ≥ 2. As a result, S-doping causes a lattice distortion, because the ionic radii of S2− and S6+ differ from that of the O2− and Ti4+ ions. (2) S-doping increases the adsorption coefficient A e for methylene blue (MB) from 0.9% to 68.5% due to the synergistic effects of the oxygen vacancies, increased number of surface chemical adsorption centers as a result of SO4 2− adsorption on the TiO2 surface and the larger pore size. (3) S-doping increases the MB degradation rate from 6.9 × 10−2 min−1 to 18.2 × 10−2 min−1 due to an increase in the amount of •OH and •O2− radicals.

The melamine phosphate (MP) was synthesized from melamine and phosphate acid. Zinc oxide (ZnO) was used as a synergistic agent by adding into the MP during the synthesis process. The reaction products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The properties of polypropylene (PP) composites containing intumescent flame retardant (IFR) additives of melamine phosphate and pentaerythritol (PER) were investigated by the limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL-94 vertical burning test, thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that the LOI value of the composites could be enhanced obviously with suitable content of ZnO. When the ZnO content was 6 wt% in MP, the LOI value reached 34.1%, which showed 10% higher than that of the composites without ZnO.

The co-generation of C-doping and oxygen vacancies (OVs) in Bi2WO6 nanosheets was achieved by a graphene oxide-mediated hydrothermal method. The photocatalytic performance was highly promoted in NO removal with the synergistic effects of C-doping and OVs.
