Bridging interfacial water structure and reactivity in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution at TiO
Hydrogen (H2) evolution via photocatalytic water splitting is an environmentally friendly and sustainable technology for solar-to-chemical energy conversion. Although interfacial interactions are recognized as key determinants of photocatalytic performance, systematic experimental studies explicitly targeting the structure and reactivity of the water-catalyst interface remain limited. A major challenge lies in probing the molecular structure of interfacial water, especially under hydrogen-evolving conditions.

Smaller Dynamic Island that can display up to three Live Activities at once. Variable-aperture 48MP Main camera with /1.48, /1.8, /2.8, and /4 settings, replacing the fixed /1.78 aperture on the iPhone 17 Pro models. Around 50% better low-light performance from the Main camera. New manual camera controls for aperture, shutter speed, white balance, and histogram. New Apple Reference Image feature for creating authenticated, unalterable reference photos. Photographic Styles 3, with new texture and grain controls. Cinematic effects that can now be applied after capture to video shot at up to 60 fps. Cinematic mode at up to 4K Dolby Vision at 60 fps, up from 30 fps on the previous models. Time-lapse recording upgraded to 4K Dolby Vision. Improved Audio Mix with higher-quality voice processing and music isolation. New smart focus tracking for photos and video. Improved low-light video recording at 1080p. Up to 36 hours of video playback on iPhone 18 Pro, up from 33 hours on the 17 Pro. Up to 45 hours of video playback on iPhone 18 Pro Max, up from 39 hours on the 17 Pro Max. Faster wired charging: Apple says 50% in around 15 minutes, down from around 20 minutes. 2TB storage option on the 6.3-inch iPhone 18 Pro, up from a 1TB maximum. New Black, Silver, Glacier, and Burgundy finishes, replacing Silver, Cosmic Orange, and Deep Blue. Heavier design: The iPhone 18 Pro is 5g heavier than its predecessor, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max is 16g heavier. $100 higher starting price: $1,199 for iPhone 18 Pro and $1,299 for iPhone 18 Pro Max. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will be available to pre-order starting Saturday, September 12 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time / 8 a.m. Eastern Time. The devices will then be released on Friday, September 18. If you're keen to be among the first to get your hands on one, we have some tips on how to give yourself the best chance come launch day.
