Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation by Fabrication of p‑LaFeO₃/n-Fe₂O₃ Heterojunction on Hematite Nanorods

The LaFeO₃ film exhibits interesting p-type behavior and stable photocatalytic hydrogen production in aqueous solution, and we combine it with α-Fe₂O₃ nanorods to form a p-LaFeO₃/n-Fe₂O₃ heterojunction to improve the photoeletrochemical (PEC) water oxidation performance of hematite. An atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique is adopted to deposit La₂O₃ controllably on β-FeOOH nanorods, and the p-LaFeO₃/n-Fe₂O₃ heterojunction is achieved by post-thermal treatment, which is evidenced by the XRD, XPS, and HRTEM images. Due to the well-matched band levels of LaFeO₃ and α-Fe₂O₃, the onset potential for photocurrent is negatively shifted by ∼50 mV. Meanwhile, the photocurrent density is promoted from 0.37 to 0.58 mA/cm² at 1.23 V versus RHE owing to the accelerated charge separation within the space depletion layer induced by the build-in potential. Furthermore, the heterojunction is further modified by CoO_<i>x</i> cocatalyst to improve the surface water oxidation kinetics, and the photocurrent density is promoted to 1.12 mA/cm² at 1.23 V versus RHE. As a result, the incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency is further promoted to 25.13% at 400 nm. Our work demonstrates ALD with a prominent advantage in fabrication of the heterojunction with controllable film thickness, which plays an important role in the PEC water splitting application

Detected clusters of Japanese encephalitis in Sichuan province in 2009.

<p>On a significance level of 0.05, the test statistics based on Poisson and Hypergeometric models obtained almost the same results. They detected two significant clusters, the most likely cluster in the southeast with 18 counties and one secondary cluster in the northeast with 12 counties, both with P value of 0.0001. They differs slightly on statistically insignificant clusters.</p

Incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER) of two potential strategies to increase influenza vaccination coverage rates among children by age groups in China comparing with the base situation of current policy.

<p>OPTION One includes a single telephone vaccination reminder. OPTION Two includes comprehensive measures of free vaccination voucher, and expanding vaccination sites in hospital clinics. The bars in each column shows the ranges due to differences in input values such as rates of influenza like illness (ILI), vaccine effectiveness, and program costs (c.f., <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0087590#pone-0087590-t001" target="_blank">Tables 1</a> and <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0087590#pone-0087590-t002" target="_blank">2</a>).</p
