Facile synthesis route for MoS2-polyvinylpyrrolidone aerogels

Three-dimensional MoS 2 /reduced graphene oxide aerogel as a macroscopic visible-light photocatalyst

“…Chang et al [13] demonstrated that the S atoms on the exposed edge sites played an important role in the adsorption of H + , and allowed the reduction from H + to H2. However, these improvements are primarily applied to MoS2 in powder form, which is not only difficult to recover, but also has a strong tendency to agglomerate [14]. Hence, the fabrication of a macroscopic MoS2 photocatalyst remains a great challenge.…”

Recent advances and emerging opportunities in rapid thermal annealing (RTA) of polymers

“…In contrast, scalability is excellent in template-free approaches, such as the sol-gel method and freeze-drying of hydrogels, at the sacrifice of accurate structural control. [37][38][39][40][41][42][43] Recently, 3D printing has started to offer precise control over the structure, yet there is room for improving the throughput. [44][45][46] RTA offers a unique opportunity that takes the best of both template and template-free approaches.…”

Monolithic Porous Organic Polymer‐Photocatalyst Composites for Applications in Catalysis

“…For example, using this method, polyvinylpyrrolidone/MoS 2 and polyvinyl alcohol/C 3 N 4 composite aerogels were prepared. [81] Despite the simplicity of this preparation route, most of the aerogel prepared through this method are powders and the achievement of monolithic composites aerogel is extremely difficult. [24a] Moreover, the freeze-drying step requires achieving temperatures below 0 °C (typically down to À 80 °C).…”
