Electrocatalytic NiS 2 cubes were directly synthesized on F-doped tin oxide using a hydrothermal approach and used as counter electrode in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The NiS 2 cubes displayed an excellent electrocatalytic activity in the reduction of I 3 − showing a power conversion efficiency of 5.56%, which is close to that of the Pt-containing DSSC (7.05%). Furthermore, the NiS 2 cubes showed a comparable stability to Pt. This is ascribed to the low resistance to diffusion and transfer of electrolyte ions. These results suggest that the NiS 2 cubes prepared through a facile process is a promising substitute to Pt electrode.

Ho 3+ /Yb 3+ co-doped PbTiO 3 nanocrystals with different content of dopant were successfully prepared via a facile hydrothermal method. The purity, morphology, element distribution, chemical state and up-conversion (UC) photoluminescence (PL) of PbTiO 3 nanocrystals affected by Ho 3+ dopant are investigated systematically. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results illustrate that PbTiO 3 samples with the doping Ho 3+ concentration ranging from 0 to 5 mol-% are perovskite structure. The doping Ho 3+ ions have no change on the crystal structure of perovskite PbTiO 3 . Owing to the non-equivalent substitution of Ho 3+ to Ti 4+ in PbTiO 3 , the particle size of Ho 3+ /Yb 3+ co-doped PbTiO 3 samples is decreased as well as the particle agglomeration is detected. Moreover, Ho and Yb ions have uniform distributions in the PbTiO 3 nanoparticles as the presence of Ho 3+ and Yb 3+ cations. The up-conversion spectra demonstrate that Ho/Yb co-doped PbTiO 3 samples have up-conversion emissions centered at 550 nm, 660 nm and 755 nm, corresponding to the transitions of 5 F 4 ( 5 S 2 )→ 5 I 8 , 5 F 5 → 5 I 8 and 5 S 2 ( 5 F 4 )→ 5 I 7 of Ho 3+ ions. Additionally, the effect of temperature on the UC PL property of Ho 3+ /Yb 3+ co-doped PbTiO 3 system is further investigated. The sensitivity and the trend of Ho 3+ /Yb 3+ co-doped PbTiO 3 samples in temperature from 298 k to 493K are calculated on the basis of fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) method. Ho 3+ /Yb 3+ co-doped PbTiO 3 nanocrystals are verified the high potential in the optical temperature sensing.

A case of hydrous borate with the formula of Ba 2 B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ·5H 2 O was synthesized by the traditional hydrothermal method . It crystallizes in the chiral P 1 space group and has a unique two-dimensional 2 [B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ] ∞ layer that is constructed by the hydrogen involved [B 13 O 22 (OH) 5 ] fundamental building blocks (FBBs). The Ba atoms and H 2 O molecules are filled in the three-dimensional pore constructed by the 2 [B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ] ∞ layer. Interestingly, Ba 2 B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ·5H 2 O is the first case of hydrous borates that has the above rare [B 13 O 22 (OH) 5 ] FBB and 2 [B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ] ∞ layer, which enriching the structural chemistry of borate system. The diffuse reflection spectrum result shows that the ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edge of Ba 2 B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ·5H 2 O is below 200 nm. Its second harmonic generation (SHG) response is approximately 1.0 times that of potassium dihydrogen phosphate at the 1064 nm fundamental wavelength and it is also phase-matchable. Both results indicate that the title compound is a nonlinear optical crystal for UV spectral region. Theoretical simulation calculation shows that the occupied VE states are mainly contributed by the O-2p orbitals, and therefore [B 13 O 22 (OH) 5 ] groups are the main sources of SHG effects.

Herein, a novel bright-green and highly fluorescent polyethyleneimine capped copper nanoclusters (CuNCs@PEI) has been hydrothermally synthesized, which is employed as a fluorescence probe to determine rifampicin. Under optimum synthetic conditions, the morphology, surface chemistry and optical features of resulting CuNCs@PEI are well characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV–Vis absorption spectra, transient and steady-state fluorescence. In comparison to previous reports, the new species with a larger diameter of approximately 3 nm exhibit higher fluorescence quantum yield (QY) up to nearly 10.7%, and demonstrate tolerability to extreme pH, high ionic strengths as well as long-term UV irradiation. These excellent optical properties ascribe to unique grain size and surface chemical features of products, which are further discussed in this work. In addition, we employed as-prepared CuNCs@PEI to detect rifampicin based on fluorescence quenching phenomenon. The fluorescence intensity of probe is linearly proportional to rifampicin over the concentration rage from 0 to 20 μM, where the limit of detection (LOD) is 50 nM. Besides, this probe can be also used to assay rifampicin in serum samples with satisfactory recoveries.

This work demonstrates a highly efficient method for large-scale synthesis of elongated BaTiO 3 nanowires via a novel stirring hydrothermal process. Compared with conventional hydrothermal reaction , one-dimensional (1D) lead-free BaTiO 3 nanowires can be realized at an even lower temperature with a shorter dwelling time. Results suggest that the mechanical force-driven stirring process improved the diffusion and surface reaction rate of BaTiO 3 nanocrystal growth in the solution phase, apparently, leading to the growth of the BaTiO 3 nanowires via an oriented attachment mechanism. Meanwhile, to the best of our knowledge, this method is also the first reported protocol which is capable to grow elongated BaTiO 3 nanowires with length up to tens of micrometers. This research outcome provides a promising option for low cost, high-throughput fabrication of 1D nanostructure in respect of mass-manufacturing.

The Si-TiO 2 based composites with a nanosized multi-sphere structure have been developed as novel anode for lithium ion cells . The Si spheres are highly embedded within the titanium dioxide nanoparticles via a hydrothermal synthesis route. The as-proposed sphere-stack like morphology achieves a superior cycling stability for lithium storage. The existence of TiO 2 is in favor for the mechanical stability of Si during charge-discharge and conversely reduces the obtained capacity of the composite. Furthermore, the Si/TiO 2 composite is coated by pyrolysized carbon. The reversible discharge capacity of the Si/TiO 2 /C composite reaches to 976 mAh g −1 after 50 cycles. Carbon coating is beneficial for the rate capability of the Si/TiO 2 based composite.

Systematic control of the molar ratio between thorium hydroxides and selenic acid and their reaction temperature under hydrothermal conditions results in four novel thorium-based selenate complexes, namely, [Th8O4(OH)8(SeO4)6(H2O)16]·(SeO4)2·13H2O (Th-1), [Th8O4(OH)8(SeO4)8(H2O)13]·7H2O (Th-2), Th(OH)2(SeO4)H2O (Th-3), and Th3(SeO4)6(H2O)6·2.5H2O (Th-4), as well as the thorium mixed selenite selenate compound Th(SeO3)(SeO4) (Th-5). Smaller [H2SeO4]/[Th(IV)] ratio or lower temperature give rise to the formation of octameric [Th8(μ3-O)4(μ2-OH)8]16+ cores in Th-1/Th-2 and infinite [Th(μ2-OH)2H2O]2+ chains in Th-3, respectively. Increasing the [H2SeO4]/[Th(IV)] ratio or elevating the temperature generates a microporous (11.3 Å voids) open-framework Th-4, a monomeric thorium species without oxo/hydroxyl ligands, and a three-dimensional thorium structure Th-5. Formation of these compounds suggests that variables including acidity and temperature play a critical role in the hydrolysis and oligomerization of ThIV ions. Increasing acidity limits the deprotonation of water molecules and formation of nucleophilic hydroxo/oxo-aquo Th species, and high temperature appears to suppress the olation/oxolation hydrolysis reactions, which in both ways limit the formation of the thorium oligomers.
