The density ρ of the sintered glass parts was measured by the Archimedes principle using a lab scale Quintix 124‐1S and a density kit analytical balance YDK03 (Sartorius AG, Germany). The sintered fused silica parts were weighed in the dry state (m). Afterward, they were immersed in DI water (T = 20.5 °C) with a small amount of surfactant and the buoyancy mass mb was determined. The density was calculated using following equation, with ρH2O being the density of water
ρ=mρH2Omb
The shrinkage was determined by measuring three different FDM‐printed parts in the green part stage and after sintering with a caliper. The theoretical linear shrinkage Ys can be calculated in dependence of the solid loading Φ, theoretical density ρt, and final density ρf of the manufactured object using following equation
Ys=1Φρt/ρf13
Optical inline transmission was determined by using a UV–vis spectrometer of type Evolution 201 (Thermo Scientific, Germany) and an FTIR spectrometer of type Frontier 100 MIR‐FTIR (Perkin Elmer, Germany). Total UV–vis transmission and reflectance were measured using a UV–vis–NIR spectrophotometer of type UV‐3600i Plus (Shimadzu, Japan) equipped with an integrating sphere attachment of type ISR‐1503 (Shimadzu, Japan). Fused silica glass slides (2 mm thickness, Toppan Photomasks, Inc., USA) were used as a reference sample for all measurements.

High-resolution SEM images and EDS analyses of the silver nanoclusters were obtained using an environmental SEM (Quattro, ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA, USA). Extinction spectra of plasmonic superstructure arrays were measured using a UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer (UV-3600i plus, Shimadzu, Japan). All Raman data were acquired at room temperature using a Raman spectrometer equipped with 633 and 785 nm excitation lasers (NRS-4500, Jasco, Japan) and two gratings (1800 grooves per mm for 633 nm and 1200 grooves per mm for 785 nm). A slit (50 × 8000 μm) was adopted to achieve a resolution of 2.3 cm−1. Before measurements, the spectrometer was calibrated using a standard silicon substrate. The excitation power and exposure time were set at 2.8 mW and 10 s, respectively, for measurement of Rhodamine 6G solution with 2 accumulations. Meanwhile, excitation power and exposure time were set at 1.4 mW and 1 s, respectively, for measurement of crystal violet mixed with PFOA solution with 2 accumulations. The Raman excitation laser was focused using a 50× objective lens with a numerical aperture of 0.5. Each sample was measured 5 times at the same conditions to acquire an averaged spectrum. For data treatment, the baseline function and the peak find function were used to delete the invalid data and to identify Raman peaks, respectively.

Optical Properties of Carbonized Nanopapers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The light absorption, transmittance, and reflection of the carbonized chitin and cellulose nanopapers were evaluated using an ultraviolet−visible−near-infrared (UV–vis–NIR) spectrometer (UV-3600i Plus, Shimadzu Corp., Kyoto, Japan) equipped with an ISR-603 integrating sphere (Shimadzu Corp., Kyoto, Japan). More than five samples were prepared and evaluated under each condition. Light absorption was calculated from the total light transmittance and reflection spectra. Solar absorption was calculated using Equation (1) [26 (link)] as follows: α¯ %=λminλmaxIsolarλ·αsolarλdλλminλmaxIsolarλdλ×100,
where α¯ is the solar absorption (%); λ is the wavelength (nm); λmin and λmax are 300 and 2500 nm, respectively; Isolar(λ) is the solar spectral irradiance (AM1.5G) at λ; and αsolar(λ) is the light absorption (%) at λ. The optical bandgap values were also calculated from the UV–vis–NIR absorption spectra according to a previously reported method [15 (link)] and Tauc’s equation [27 (link)] (Equation (2)):
where α, , A, and Eg are the absorbance, photon energy, constant, and optical band gap, respectively. The optical bandgap was estimated by plotting (αhν)1/n vs. photon energy () and extrapolating the linear region of the curve to the X-axis (Figure S1). The parameter n was set to 2 for the indirect transition of the carbonized nanopapers because of their amorphous carbon structures.

Typically, 20 mL of MO dye solution (10 mg L−1) and 10 mg of the prepared photocatalysts were added into a 100 mL quartz reactor. With the circulating water maintaining the reaction solution temperature, the suspension was magnetically stirred in the dark for 1 hour to reach the adsorption–dissociation equilibrium between the photocatalyst and MO. Subsequently, a xenon lamp (300 W, Beijing Perfect Light Source Co., Ltd.) equipped with ultraviolet cut-off filter (λ > 420 nm) was used as the light source. Under magnetic agitation, 1.5 mL of reaction liquid was taken out at regular intervals and the sediment was removed by centrifugation. A UV-vis spectrometer (Shimadzu UV-3600i Plus) was used to quantify the MO content of supernatant. Meanwhile, the recovered samples were tested 20 times under the same conditions to verify the stability of the prepared dodecahedral HoMs Co3O4/AZIS photocatalysts. In addition, in order to detect the active species generated during the photocatalytic degradation of MO, photodegradation experiments were conducted using different scavengers under the same conditions. Specifically, BQ, Na2EDTA, and t-BuOH were used to trap superoxide radical (˙O2), h+, and hydroxyl radical (˙OH), respectively.

The adsorption and photocatalysis processes of as-prepared catalysts were evaluated by the degradation of RhB in an aqueous solution under visible light irradiation at room temperature (ca. 25 °C). A 500 W xenon lamp with a cut-off filter (λ > 420 nm) was used to generate visible light. Amounts of 0.1 g of catalyst powder and 50 mL RhB aqueous solution (initial solution pH ≈ 4) were added to a 100 mL quartz tube and continuously stirred during the degradation experiment. Before irradiation, the reaction solution was magnetically stirred in the dark for 30 min to reach complete adsorption/desorption equilibrium. During the photocatalytic experiment, 5 mL reaction solution was extracted every 10 min, and the concentration of residual RhB was determined by measuring its absorbance at 590 nm on a UV-visible spectrometer (UV-3600i Plus by Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The 5 mL solution was added back into the reaction solution after measurement.
