Photocatalytic water splitting is the environmentally benign artificial photosynthetic pathway
to dissociate water into hydrogen and oxygen. It provides a great platform for bridging the …

Heavy metal pollution is one of the most serious concerns to human health because these
substances are toxic and retained by the ecological system. Many efforts have been taken …

Despite their extremely good performance in solar cells with efficiencies approaching 20%
and the emerging application for light-emitting devices, organic–inorganic lead halide …

The biotic ligand model (BLM) is a mechanistic approach that greatly improves our ability to
generate site-specific ambient water quality criteria (AWQC) for metals in the natural …

Metal pollution is an important concern because of its potential to affect human health.
Metals such as lead and cadmium can enter soil via the food chain and exceed normal …

The stresses acting on plants that are alleviated by silicon (Si) range from biotic to abiotic
stresses, such as heavy metal toxicity. However, the mechanism of stress alleviation by Si at …

Accelerated depletion of fossil fuel, energy demands, and pollution force us to choose
renewable and eco-friendly energy resources. Solar cells are considered as an efficient …

A comparative evaluation of bioaccumulation and biosorption of Cu (II) and Pb (II) ions by
algal cells of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was conducted in single and binary metal systems …

Environmental Context. The chemical speciation of trace metals greatly influences their
biological effects. Nonetheless, no clear consensus currently exists as to when metal …

To elicit a biological response from a target organism and/or to accumulate within this
organism, a metal must first interact with a cell membrane. For hydrophilic metal species, this …
