RESUMEN
Low quantum efficiency and serious photogenerated carrier recombination have been urgent bottleneck problems for photocatalytic materials. Herein, we prepared Nb, Se-codoped ZnIn2S4/NbSe2composites through a facile solvothermal method. The synergetic effect of codoping and cocatalyst was investigated on the photodegradation performance towards tetracycline under visible-light irradiation. By adjusting the final composition, the comprehensive characterization revealed that the optimum degradation efficiency of NS/ZIS-1.6 catalyst arrived at 75% in 70 min, which was 5.8 times higher than that of pure ZnIn2S4. Deep analysis indicated that the enhanced photocatalytic performance could be attributed to higher light absorption, more efficient electron/hole separation, faster charge transport, and lower carrier recombination. This work may offer novel viewpoint for design of high-performance catalysts towards the visible-light-driven photodegradation system.
RESUMEN
Biochar is an effective soil conditioner. However, we have limited understanding of biochar effects on the tobacco growth and bacterial communities in rhizosphere. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different straw biochar amendment (0, 2, 10, and 50 g/kg dry soil) on tobacco growth, soil properties, and bacterial communities in rhizosphere by pot trials. Most of tobacco agronomic traits increased when the application rate varied from 0 to 10 g/kg, but were inhibited by 50 g/kg of biochar application. Soil pH, SOC, available nutrients and soil urease, invertase, and acid phosphatase activities were all increased with the biochar application, whereas catalase activity decreased or remained unchanged. The OTUs and bacterial community diversity indices differed with the biochar application doses in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils. And significant differences in bacterial communities were found between the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils despite the biochar addition. Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Actinobacteria were the dominant phyla in all soil samples, but they had different abundances in different treatment influenced by the rhizosphere and biochar effect. The high dose of biochar (50 g/kg) decreased the similarity of soil bacterial community structure in rhizosphere compared with those in non-rhizosphere soil. These results provide a better understanding of the microecological benefits of straw biochar in tobacco ecosystem.

RESUMEN
To evaluate the micro-ecological effects of tetracycline residues on tobacco soil, high-throughput sequencing technology was used to study the effects of the addition of different concentrations (0, 5, 50, and 500 mg·kg-1) of tetracycline on the abundance, diversity, and structure of bacterial and fungal communities in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil of flue-cured tobacco in China. Results showed that the presence of tetracycline had an important but varying effect on soil bacterial and fungal community richness, diversity, and structure. Changes in the diversity indices (Chao index and Shannon index) of soil bacterial and fungal communities showed a similar pattern after the addition of tetracycline; however, a few differences were found in the effects of tetracycline in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil, suggesting an evident rhizosphere-specific effect. The bacterial community at the phylum level in the rhizosphere closely clustered into one group, which might be the result of tobacco root secretions and rhizodeposition. Tetracycline showed a concentration-dependent effect on the soil bacterial community structure. The soil bacterial community structures observed after treatments with higher concentrations of tetracycline (50 and 500 mg·kg-1) were found to be closely related. Moreover, the effects of the treatments with higher concentrations of tetracycline, on the soil bacterial community at the phylum level, were different from those with lower concentrations of tetracycline (5 mg·kg-1), and CK treatments. This might have resulted from the induction of increasing selective pressure with increasing antibiotic concentration. Tetracycline continued to affect the soil bacterial community throughout the experiment. Tetracycline was found to have a varying impact on the community structure of soil fungi compared to that of soil bacteria, and the addition of an intermediate concentration of tetracycline (50 mg·kg-1) significantly increased the soil fungal diversity in the non-rhizosphere soil. The biological effects of tetracycline on the soil fungal community and the fungal-bacterial interactions, therefore, require further elucidation, warranting further research.

Herein, thermoelectric properties of MoS2/MoSe2 lateral and van der Waals heterostructure are investigated by using density functional theory calculations and non-equilibrium Green's function method. Compared with pure MoS2, the thermoelectric performance of MoS2/MoSe2 lateral heterostructure is significantly improved due to the sharply decreased thermal conductance and slightly reduced power factor. Moreover, the thermoelectric performance can be further improved by constructing MoS2/MoSe2 van der Waals heterostructure. The room temperature ZT can reach 3.5, which is about 3 and 6 times greater than MoS2/MoSe2 lateral heterostructure and pure MoS2, respectively. This is because the strongly local electron and phonon states result in an ultralow thermal conductance in MoS2/MoSe2 van der Waals heterostructure. Furthermore, we also find that the thermoelectric performance of MoS2/MoSe2 van der Waals heterostructure is insensitive to contact areas due to the competing influence of PF and total thermal conductance. The current study presents an effective strategy to improve the thermoelectric performance of 2D heterostructures, which can be extended to a variety of materials for different applications.

RESUMEN
Phonon transport in periodically modulated cylindrical nanowire (PMCN) and quasi-periodically modulated cylindrical nanowire (QPMCN) is comparatively studied. It is shown that the transmission coefficient and thermal conductance for PMCN is greater than the corresponding values for QPMCN. At low frequencies, a wide stop-frequency gap due to the destructive interference between the incoming and back waves can be clearly observed here. For PMCN, such stop-frequency gap seems to be insensitive to the change of N (the periodic number). For QPMCN, however, its breadth increases with the increase of N (the Fibonacci number). When N is increased, the thermal conductance for PMCN presents a distinct change from the decrease to the constant, while QPMCN has a tendency of monotonous decrease. A brief discussion on these results is made.
