Enhanced Visible Light Photocatalytic Activity for TiO2 Nanotube Array Films by Codoping with Tungsten and Nitrogen by Min Zhang, Juan Wu, DanDan Lu, Jianjun Yang

“…The mechanism of the enhanced photocatalytic activity could be attributed to (i) increasing number of hydroxyl groups on the surface of TNAs after the hydrothermal treatment, (ii) a strong W-N synergistic interaction leads to produce new states, narrow the band gap which decrease the recombination effectively, and then greatly increase the visible light absorption and photocatalytic activity; (iii) W ions with changing valences in all codoped samples which are considered to act as trapping sites, effectively decrease the recombination rate of electrons and holes, and improve the photocatalytic activity.…”

Corrosion behavior of double-glow plasma copperizing coating on Q235 steel by Yang Z.-G., Liang W.-P., Jia Y.-L., Miao Q., Ding Z., Qi Y.

“…Then the whisker-like structure of α-FeOOH grew on the surface of γ-FeOOH and the β-FeOOH transformed into γ-FeOOH to achieve thermodynamical equilibrium. The dissolved copper ions in solution resulted in a unique difference in the formation of corrosion products, which inhibited the transition of iron hydroxide and promoted the formation of amorphous phases. …”

Origin and Distribution of Carbonate Cement in Tight Sandstones: The Upper Triassic Yanchang Formation Chang 8 Oil Layer in West Ordos Basin, China by Jin Lai, Guiwen Wang, Jing Chen, Shuchen Wang, Zhenglong Zhou, Xuqiang Fan

“…Dissolution of Ca-feldspars by organic acids-rich fluids, together with clay mineral transformations such as illitization of smectite, would provide Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions for carbonate cementation. Organic acids and CO2 rich fluids would charge into the reservoirs with the hydrocarbons, and when the CO2 and acids were buffered by the framework grain dissolution, carbonate cement would precipitate with a decrease in CO2 concentration.…”
