TL;DR: This review acquaints some materials for performing OER activity, in which the metal oxide materials build the basis of OER mechanism while non-oxide materials exhibit greatly promising performance toward overall water-splitting.

TL;DR: This tutorial minireview gives a short review on the existing strategies for the synthesis of defective TiO2 with oxygen vacancies, and the defect related properties ofTiO2 including structural, electronic, optical, dissociative adsorption and reductive properties, which are intimately related to the photocatalytic performance of TiO 2.

TL;DR: It is proposed that TiO (2)-GR cannot provide truly new insights into the fabrication of TiO(2)-carbon composite as high-performance photocatalysts, hence offering a valuable source of reference on fabricating TiO(*(2))-carbon composites for their application as a photocatalyst in the environment cleanup.

TL;DR: Composite Photocatalysts Nan Zhang,‚‡ Min-Quan Yang,†,‡ Siqi Liu,*,‡ Yugang Sun,* and Yi-Jun Xu*,† are authors of this paper.

TL;DR: It is shown that nanocrystalline gold catalysts can provide tunable active catalysts for the oxidation of alkenes using air, with exceptionally high selectivity to partial oxidation products and significant conversions.
