They are only applicable in some special situations. In order to expand their applicable scope, they should be derived from irreversible thermodynamics theory. There is a junction potential term in the EMF equations of double solid electrolyte sensors derived from irreversible thermodynamics. The junction potential involves the ion transference numbers and the electron transference numbers of two kinds of solid electrolytes. When the transference numbers of reaction ions in the two solid electrolytes equal 1 only, the junction potential term is zero and two types of EMF equations become the same.展开更多

The BiOBr/BiVO4 with 1 wt.%of Bi OBr exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity in the degradation of Rh B under visible-light irradiation. It was found that the highly efficient adsorption of Rh B molecules via the electrostatic attraction between Br-and cationic ／N（Et）2 group played a key role for the high photocatalytic activities of BiOBr/BiVO4. This efficient adsorption promoted the N-deethylation of Rh B and thus accelerated the photocatalytic degradation of Rh B.Moreover, the metal-to-metal charge transfer（MMCT） mechanism was proposed, which revealed the concrete path paved with Bi–O–Bi chains for the carrier migration in BiOBr/BiVO4. The interaction between photoexcited Rh B＊ and the Bi^（3＋） in BiVO4 provided the driving force for the migration of photo-generated carriers along the Bi–O–Bi chains. This work has not only demonstrated the important role of efficient adsorption in the photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminants, but also developed a facile strategy to improve the efficiency of photocatalysts.展开更多
