  • Publication number: 20240149258
    Abstract: Photocatalysts and methods of making and using the same are disclosed. The photocatalyst includes a TIO2 ultra-nanoparticle having a single Fe, Co, Mn, Cr, or W atom positioned as an engineered defect within the particle and a single metal catalyst atom bound proximal to the single Fe, Co, Mn, Cr, or W atom. The method of making the photocatalyst includes generating a plurality of ultra-nano TIO2 particles, each having a single Fe, Co, Mn, Cr, or W atom positioned as an engineered defect within the particle. The method further includes photodepositing a single metal catalyst atom proximal to the single Fe, Co, Mn, Cr, or W atom for at least a portion of the ultra-nano TIO2 particles, thereby creating the disclosed photocatalyst. The single metal catalyst atom is in a positive oxidation state and can be Pt, Pd, Ir, Ru, Rh, Os, Re, Au, Ni, Zn, or Cu.

  • Patent number: 11628871
    Abstract: A method of facilitating production of a structure at a construction site, the method including the steps of: a) obtaining a mobile apparatus having: a frame; first and second wheels and a steerable third wheel spaced in a fore and aft direction from the first and second wheels and laterally between the first and second wheels; and a platform on the frame defining a first upwardly facing surface that is spaced at least 20? above the subjacent surface; b) placing at least one building component in a transporting position on the first upwardly facing surface; c) advancing the mobile apparatus from the first location to a second location at or adjacent the construction site; and d) separating the at least one building component from the transporting position at the second location.
