<p>We report the run-and-halt behavior of motile droplets immersed in an aqueous solution of amphiphilic molecular switch. These oil droplets move autonomously as the switch solubilizes the oil into the water. Droplet movement stops in response to UV light, and picks up again in response to visible light. This motile behavior is a consequence of the reversible <i>trans-</i>to-<i>cis</i> photo-conversion of the switch in water, because the <i>trans</i> photo-isomer stabilizes the oil droplets better than the <i>cis</i> photo-isomer, and therefore it also solubilizes the droplet more effectively. Notably, the droplets also evolve positive photokinesis under illumination with visible light, and, in patchy light environments, their complex motility pattern directs the droplets at the periphery of the illuminated areas. </p>

A Cr-doped film was prepared by sol-gel and dip-coating method and used as the photocatalyst for reforming under the visible light. The ratio of amount of Cr added to amount of Ti in sol solution (R) varied from 0 to 100 wt%. The total layer number of Cr-doped film (N) coated was up to 7. The reforming performance with the Cr-doped film was evaluated by illuminating under a Xe lamp with or without ultraviolet (UV) light. The concentration of CO which was a product from reforming was maximized for  wt% whenNequals to 1. The visible light responsibility was also maximized for  wt%. The amount of Cr within film coated on copper disc was increased with the increase inRup to 70 wt% and started to decrease whenRis over 70 wt%. The reforming performance of film with one layer Cr-doped was found better than that of film with multi Cr-doped layers under illuminating of UV light. Under the visible light, the performance was maximized at  wt% and with one layer Cr-doped.

Remazol Red

Photodegradation of textile dyes in the presence of an aqueous suspension of semiconductor oxides has been of growing interest. Although this method of destruction of dyes is efficient, the main obstacle of applying this technique in the industry is the time and cost involving separation of oxides from an aqueous suspension. In this research, an attempted was made to develop ZnO films on a glass substrate by simple immobilization method for the adsorption and photodegradation of a typical dye, Remazol Red R (RRR) from aqueous solution. Adsorption and photodegradation of  RRR were performed in the presence of glass supported ZnO film. Photodegradation of the dye was carried out by varying different parameters such as the catalyst dosage, initial concentrations of RRR, and light sources. The percentage of adsorption as well as photodegradation increased with the amount of ZnO, reaches a maximum and then decreased. Maximum degradation has been found under solar light irradiation as compared to UV-light irradiation. Removal efficiency was also found to be influenced by the pre-sonication of ZnO suspension.

The photocycloaddition of olefins with carbonyls is of fundamental interest and practical importance in C=C bond location in unsaturated lipids. However, the traditional UV light activated [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction suffers side reactions and potential health damage. Here, we reported the first example of visible-light activated [2+2] photocycloaddition of anthraquinone with unsaturated lipids. This reaction showed great capability for locating the C=C bonds in various kinds of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated lipids by combining with tandem mass spectrometry (MS), such as fatty acids, phospholipids and glycerides. Based on this developed reaction, a workflow with liquid chromatography tandem MS method was developed for the global identification of unsaturated lipids in human serum, and 86 of monounsaturated and complicated polyunsaturated lipids were identified with definitive positions of C=C bonds. This approach provides new insights both on the photocycloaddition reactions and the structural lipidomics.

Background: Textile industries discharge harmful synthetic dyes to nearby water sources. These colour effluents should be treated before discharge to reduce the toxicity caused by synthetic colours. Objective: To synthesize visible light active superstructures to reduce water pollution caused by textile industries. Methods: We have successfully synthesized ZnO/Dy/NiO hybrid nanocomposites using waste curd as fuel by a simple combustion method. The obtained material was able to reduce recombination and enhanced the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. The as-synthesized material was characterized by XRD, absorption spectroscopy, FESEM, EDAX, etc. The obtained hybrid nanostructure was used as a photocatalyst for the degradation of methylene blue under sunlight, UV light as well as in dark. Comparative experiments were carried out with a variation of catalytic load, pH, dye concentrations, etc. for a better understanding of the performance of the catalyst at various conditions. Results and Conclusion: The ternary compound shows wide range of absorption by expanding absorption band both in UV and visible regions. ZnO/Dy/NiO hybrid nanocomposites performed well and showed uniqueness in the activity uder visible light.
