Abstract
Novel two-dimensional (2D) oxides are of great interest for photocatalysis because of their superlative physical features, namely, large surface areas, short charge diffusion pathways, high crystallinity and easy surface modification. However, most 2D oxides suffer from weak visible light absorption and severe photogenerated carrier recombination. Nitrogen doping can successfully narrow the bandgap of 2D oxides but can hardly improve the charge separation. In this work, we pre-dope nitrogen into 2D titanate nanosheets (HTiO), followed by surface processing with solution plasma. By dual modification of nitrogen doping and solution plasma processing (SPP), the modified 2D titanate nanosheets (N-HTiO-SPP) display broad absorption extending to the visible light region and the healing of oxygen vacancies brought about by nitrogen doping. Compared with HTiO and nitrogen doped titanate (N-HTiO), a higher removal rate and mineralization rate towards the photocatalytic degradation of acetaldehyde were achieved over N-HTiO-SPP under solar light. This work provides a powerful way to activate 2D wide bandgap semiconductors for enhanced photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
In order to obtain a flat and clear packaging printing pattern, the author proposes a printing method based on ZnO semiconductor nanomaterial ink. The method uses zinc acetate dihydrate as raw material, ethylenediamine as a complexing agent, absolute ethanol as a solvent, and ethyl cellulose as an auxiliary agent to prepare particle-free ZnO functional ink. The ink was spin-coated on a glass substrate, cured at different temperatures on a heating plate for 30 min, and passed through an X-ray diffractometer, a field emission scanning electron microscope, an infrared spectrometer, a synchronous thermal analyzer, an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, and a transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the synthesized inks and the resulting films. Experiments show that the decomposition temperature of particle-free ZnO conductive ink is much lower than that of zinc acetate precursor; the film cured at 300°C for 30 min has a smooth surface, uniform particle size, good crystallinity, and transmittance of up to 80%. After inkjet printing on the PI flexible substrate, after curing at 300°C for 30 min, the pattern surface is smooth and clear, and the outline is clear. Conclusion. The printing method is based on ZnO semiconductor nanomaterial ink. It has good application prospects in packaging and printing design.

Abstract
Recent progress in photocatalytic hydrogen generation reaction highlights the critical role of co-catalysts in enhancing the solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency of diverse band-matched semiconductors. Because of the compositional flexibility, adjustable microstructure, tunable crystal phase and facet, cobalt-based co-catalysts have stimulated tremendous attention as they have high potential to promote hydrogen evolution reaction. However, a comprehensive review that specifically focuses on these promising materials has not been reported so far. Therefore, this present review emphasizes the recent progress in the pursuing of highly efficient Co-based co-catalysts for water splitting, and the advances in such materials are summarized through the analysis of structure-activity relationships. The fundamental principles of photocatalytic hydrogen production are profoundly outlined, followed by an elaborate discussion on the crucial parameters influencingthe reaction kinetics. Then, the co-catalytic reactivities of various Co-based materials involving Co, Co oxides, Co hydroxides, Co sulfides, Co phosphides and Co molecular complexes, etc, are thoroughly discussed when they are coupled with host semiconductors, with an insight towards the ultimateobjective of achieving a rationally designed photocatalyst for enhancing water splitting reaction dynamics. Finally, the current challenge and future perspective of Co-based co-catalysts as the promising noble-metal alternative materials for solar hydrogen generation are proposed and discussed.
