“…Some functionalized 3D‐G materials have the improved mechanical strength, while the electrical conductivities were normally degenerated. [ 184,185 ] Functionalization of the 3D‐G with conducting polymer is also difficult in this case when the molecular of these conducting polymers are generally rigid (e.g., pyrrole). Rare works have been conducted to improve the mechanical strength, toughness and maintain the good electrical conductivity of such kind catalyst supports for efficient HER.…”

Tackling global climate change and the energy crisis requires novel approaches in clean energy generation and efficient manufacturing. [1] Hydrogen (H 2 ) is one of the most popular clean energy sources, providing the highest energy outputThe hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is an emerging key technology to provide clean, renewable energy. Current state-of-the-art catalysts still rely on expensive and rare noble metals, however, the relatively cheap and abundant transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have emerged as exceptionally promising alternatives. Early studies in developing TMD-based catalysts laid the groundwork in understanding the fundamental catalytically active sites of different TMD phases, enabling a toolbox of physical, chemical, and electronic engineering strategies to improve the HER catalytic activity of TMDs. This report focuses on recent progress in improving the catalytic properties of TMDs toward highly efficient production of H 2 . Combining theoretical and experimental considerations, a summary of the progress to date is provided and a pathway forward for viable hydrogen evolution from TMD driven catalysis is concluded.

“…However, the high specific surface area of monodisperse graphene is decreased by the aggregation of two-dimensional graphene due to the strong attraction between the layers. In order to avoid this problem, many works have focused on the 3D graphene composite [46,47,48,49,50]. The 3D graphene composite has a three-dimensional porous network structure (combined with hydrogen bonds through the interaction between α and β), which has a larger surface area, higher mechanical strength, and faster proton and electron transmission speed than the two-dimensional structure [51,52,53], and also good adsorption capacity [54].…”

Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3, BFO) submicron cubes and 3D BFO/graphene composite materials were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal process. The crystallization processes of the 3D BFO/graphene composites with different graphene oxide (GO) concentrations were studied for their visible light photocatalytic properties. Compared to the single BFO submicron cubes, 3D BFO/graphene composites have greatly improved photocatalytic activity. A high photocatalytic performance is obtained at a GO concentration of 3 mg/mL, with the degradation rate of methylene blue (MB) dye reaching up to 92% in 140 min. The enhancement of photocatalytic activity can be attributed to the large specific surface area and 3D architecture of 3D composites, which provide more transport paths to effectively improve the separation rate of photo-generated electrons and holes. Therefore, 3D BFO/graphene composites have a broad prospect of application in the field of photocatalysis.

“…19 Therefore, modied derivatives with new chemical structures were synthesized to reduce the drying time. [20][21][22][23] Even though urushiol has antibacterial, anticancer, antioxidant and hydrophobic properties because of its catechol structure and alkyl chain, it is rarely used in dentistry. 16,[24][25][26] Urushiol nanolm was used in dentistry to create a clear overlay on appliances that improved their durability by increasing the mechanical strength and intrinsic hydrophobicity while reducing the cytotoxicity for antimicrobial applications.…”
