Using solvothermal methods to in situ oxidize two-dimensional titanium carbide (Ti 3 C 2 T x ) MXene into TiO 2 nanocrystals offered an effective strategy to construct highly efficient TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 T x heterojunctions for photocatalytic applications. Nevertheless, the effect of the chosen solvent on the Ti 3 C 2 T x oxidation and the product's performance was often neglected. Herein, isopropanol (ISO), ethanol (EtOH), ethylene glycol (EG), dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) and deionized water (Water) were taken as the representative solvents to prepare TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 T x composites by one-step solvothermal method for photocatalytic NO emission. It was the large polarity, dielectric constant and surface tension of the solvents that offered Ti 3 C 2 T x with good dispersibility and high oxidation degree during the solvothermal process. More importantly, the solvothermal treatment of Ti 3 C 2 T x in DMSO could promote the formation of TiO 2 nanoparticles with obviously higher crystallinity and more surface oxygen vacancies than those in EG, EtOH and ISO. Therefore, the photocatalytic NO oxidation efficiency of the samples within 30-min irradiation showed a descending order of TT-DMSO (46.9%), TT-Water (42.2%), TT-EG (32.3%), TT-EtOH (26.7%), and TT-ISO (19.9%). This work highlighted the significance of oxidation environment for Ti 3 C 2 T x , which could bring about some new but necessary consideration on the processing technique of MXene families for their future practical applications.

As a promising alternative to the toxic PbTe-based thermoelectric materials, eco-friendly SnTe has attracted considerable attention. Here, we use a facile solvothermal method to in-situ synthesize MXene/SnTe nanocomposites. Comprehensive characterization results indicate that the incorporation of two-dimensional MXene in SnTe matrix can suppress Sn vacancies to result in a reduced carrier concentration and induce abundant MXene/SnTe interfaces, which simultaneously optimizes the electrical and thermal transport properties. As a result, with the optimized MXene content, the maximum figure of merit of ∼0.63 at 823 K is obtained in SnTe with 0.6 wt% MXene, which shows a 60% enhancement compared to pristine SnTe. This work explores a new strategy to introduce two-dimensional MXene into SnTe-based materials with improved thermoelectric properties, which can inspire new pathways into designing and synthesizing high-performance thermoelectric materials .

Magnetic nanoparticles, such as Fe3O4and Co3O4, play a vital role in the research on advanced microwave absorbing materials, even if problems such as high density and narrow band impedance matching are still unsolved. Herein, the study of lightweight hollow Fe3O4@reduced graphite oxide (RGO) nanocomposites synthesized via the solvothermal method is presented. The microstructure and crystal morphology of the materials were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses. Single crystalline hollow Fe3O4spheres were grown onto RGO flakes, leading to the formation of heterojunction, which further influenced the microwave absorption properties. The latter were evaluated by standard microwave characterization in the frequency range of 2–18 GHz. It was found that, for a specific Fe3O4@0.125 g RGO composite, the minimum reflection loss can reach −41.89 dB at 6.7 GHz, while the reflection loss was less than −10 dB from 3.4 GHz to 13.6 GHz for a nanocomposite sample thickness in the range of 1–4 mm. The combination of these two materials thus proved to give remarkable microwave absorption properties, owing to enhanced magnetic losses and favorable impedance matching conditions.Keywords:microwave absorption;solvothermal;heterojunction;hollow Fe3O4

Previous studies have displayed various conclusions about the effect of preparation factors on the photoreduction property of ZnIn2S4. Therefore, it is not easy to figure out the optimal preparation conditions of ZnIn2S4for Cr(VI) photoreduction. To ensure Cr(VI) reduction efficiency, various ZnIn2S4photocatalysts were prepared in different solvents (i.e., water and ethylene glycol) and temperatures (i.e., 120 °C, 150 °C and 180°C). Different characterization methods were used to explain the difference in optical performance and photocatalytic property among the obtained samples. The results show that all the samples exhibit a similar band gap. The reaction solvent and temperature have a great influence on the surface morphology and optical property, leading to the different photocatalytic properties. ZnIn2S4synthesized at 120 °C in the solvothermal condition shows the optimal efficiency on Cr(VI) photoreduction due to the effective utilization of photo-induced carriers. The reasonable analysis and effective conclusion presented may provide the optimal synthesis method of ZnIn2S4to effectively remove Cr(VI) from water environment.Keywords:ZnIn2S4;Cr(VI);solvothermal;hydrothermal;photoreduction

The synthesis of carbon dots (CDs) with long wavelengths, particularly the red-emitting ones, has always been the focus of researchers, and a carbon source is critical in this process. In this study, we report the synthesis of red-emitting CDs (CD-tetra) via a one-step solvothermal method with 1,2,4,5-benzenetetramine tetrahydrochloride as a novel carbon source and ethanol as a solvent, and the quantum yield (QY) of CDs is as high as 30.2%. Middle chromatography isolated gel (MCI Gel) column was used to obtain R-CDs, O-CDs and Y-CDs with emission wavelengths at 619, 608 and 554 nm, respectively. It was discovered that these CDs exhibited great differences in their particle sizes and elemental compositions. Moreover, the fluorescence of the CD-tetra could be efficiently quenched using methylene blue (MB). Under optimal conditions, a linear relationship between the decreased fluorescence intensity of the CD-tetra and the concentration of MB was established in the range of 0.05–9.5 μM. The limit of detection (LOD) is 10 nM, suggesting a promising assay for the detection of MB.

A ternary deep eutectic solvent (DES) consisting of choline chloride, lactic acid, and urea in a molar ratio of 1:2:2 was used to pretreat chamomile residue, followed by carbon dots (CDs) preparation using a one-pot solvothermal method . The CDs prepared under the suitable conditions had a high quantum yield of 47.34% and could be used as a bifunctional fluorescent probe for the detection of tartrazine and Fe(III). The concentration of tartrazine or Fe(III) had a good linear relationship with the fluorescence intensity of CDs that the determination coefficient ( R 2 ) was 0.9957 and 0.9943, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 40 nM and 119 nM, respectively. After verifying the different fluorescence quenching mechanisms of CDs by these two substances, a quantitative analysis was performed on real samples with recoveries of 90.70%∼104.29%. Overall, this study provided a promising technology for chemical conversion from low-cost chamomile residue to attractive bifunctional fluorescent probe.

A cubic fluorite-type CeO2with mesoporous multilayered morphology was synthesized by the solvothermal method followed by calcination in air, and its oxygen storage capacity (OSC) was quantified by the amount of O2consumption per gram of CeO2based on hydrogen temperature programmed reduction (H2–TPR) measurements. Doping CeO2with ytterbium (Yb) and nitrogen (N) ions proved to be an effective route to improving its OSC in this work. The OSC of undoped CeO2was 0.115 mmol O2/g and reached as high as 0.222 mmol O2/g upon the addition of 5 mol.% Yb(NO3)3∙5H2O, further enhanced to 0.274 mmol O2/g with the introduction of 20 mol.% triethanolamine. Both the introductions of Yb cations and N anions into the CeO2lattice were conducive to the formation of more non-stoichiometric oxygen vacancy (VO) defects and reducible–reoxidizable Cen+ions. To determine the structure performance relationships, the partial least squares method was employed to construct two linear functions for the doping level vs. lattice parameter and [VO] vs. OSC/SBET.Keywords:CeO2;doping;solvothermal;oxygen storage capacity;porous

According to mastery of solvent and reaction temperature, red, yellow, and blue emissive carbon nanodots (CNDs) with high quantum yield are successfully achieved using neutral red carbon source by solvothermal methods. The differences on the emission color of CNDs are evidently ascribed to conjugated absorption bands from n-π* transition confirmed by structural and optical characterizations. The results of quantum yield, transmission electron microscopy images, high magnification fluorescent micrographs of CNDs ethanol solution and solid-state CNDs & polyvinylpyrrolidone (CNDs&PVP) powders reveal that the obtained CNDs possess ultrahigh luminescence, favorable solubility, uniform dispersibility and well material compatibility. The bright fluorescent films were fabricated by mixing the CNDs &PVP composite powders with the epoxy. By taking advantage of these remarkable properties, the red, yellow, blue light-emitting diode was realized by combining CNDs&PVP film with a UV-LED chip. This work provides a new perspective for the explanation of the PL mechanism and the exploration of stable, high-performance, and environment-friendly multicolored CNDs-based LEDs.

Cd/In-glycerate spheres are synthesized through a simple solvothermal method. After thermal treatment, these Cd/In-glycerates can be converted into CdIn2O4spheres. Many characterization methods were performed to reveal the microstructure and morphology of the CdIn2O4. It was found that pure CdIn2O4phase was obtained for the Cd/In starting materials at ratios of 1:1.6. The CdIn2O4spheres are composed by a large number of nanoparticles subunits. The CdIn2O4sphere-based sensor exhibited a low detection limit (1 ppm), high response (81.20 to 500 ppm n-butanol), fast response (4 s) and recovery (10 s) time, good selectivity, excellent repeatability, and stability at 280 °C. Our findings highlight the possibility to develop a novel gas sensor based on CdIn2O4for application in n-butanol detection with high performance.Keywords:gas sensor;n-butnaol;CdIn2O4;spheres;solvothermal method

Cu2SnS3 is considered as an emerging potential candidate for electrode materials due to considerable interlayer spaces and tunnels in its crystal structures and excellent conducting ability. Ternary Cu2SnS3 as anode in lithium ion batteries has already been reported, but it is rarely mentioned to be applied in supercapacitors which is considered to be a complementary energy storage device for lithium ion batteries. It is an effective method to improve the electrochemical performance of materials by adjusting the morphology and microstructure of materials. In present study, ternary nanosheet-assembled Cu2SnS3 microspheres (M-CTS) and nanoparticles-like Cu2SnS3 (N-CTS) are synthesized via a facile solvothermal route. The results suggest that Cu2SnS3 microspheres (M-CTS) exhibit better capacitive performance compared with Cu2SnS3 (N-CTS) nanoparticles, which means that morphology does have a significant effect on the electrochemical reaction. M-CTS presents excellent supercapacitor performances with the high specific capacity of about 406 C g–1 at a current density of 1 A g–1 and achieves a high energy density of 85.6 W h kg–1 and power density of 720 W kg–1. The remarkable electrochemical performance of Cu2SnS3 can be attributed to the large specific surface area, smaller average pore size, and improved electrical conductivity. Our research indicates that it is very suitable for large-scale production and has enormous potential in the practical application of high-performance supercapacitors.

The submicron single crystals of LiCoPO 4 with 500 nm diameter are prepared by solvothermal method . The carbon coated sample is obtained using sucrose as carbon source under 650 °C subsequently. It is investigated that the solvent composition has an effect on the morphology and the electrochemical performance of the cathode material . The as-prepared samples are characterized with X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic, dynamic light scattering , and Fourier transform infrared spectra. The electrochemical performance is evaluated by cyclic voltammetry , galvanostatic charge–discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy . The LiCoPO 4 /C cathode can reach an initial discharge capacity of 123.8 mA h g −1 at 0.1C, with a retention of 83% after 100 cycles. A discharge capacity of 84.9 mA h g −1 is still attainable when the rate is up to 2C. The good cycling performance and rate capability are contributed to the decrease of particle size along with the lower antisite defect concentration in the LCP crystals, and uniform carbon coating.

Herein, the first preparation of a novel 3D hierarchically porous carbon (3D HPC) via precarbonization and in situ alkali activation, wherein mesoporous polydivinylbenzene (meso-PDVB) synthesized by a facile and general solvothermal route was used as the carbon precursor, is reported. Its physico-chemical properties were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, FT-IR, elemental analysis, Raman spectroscopy and N2 adsorption–desorption isotherm. 3D HPC exhibited a very large SSA of 3131.32 m2 g−1 and a pore volume of 1.462 cm3 g−1. Moreover, 3D HPC was used to eliminate a dye from wastewater for the first time. The effects of the contact time, initial dye concentration, temperature and solution pH on the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) onto 3D HPC were investigated by batch techniques. The isotherm and kinetics data were well described by a Langmuir model and a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, respectively. 3D HPC had a high adsorption affinity for MB over a broad pH range. 3D HPC displayed remarkably strong adsorption of MB, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 717.77 mg g−1 at 308 K. The adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous, and the kinetics was controlled by film and intra-particle diffusion. The mechanism of the adsorption of MB was mainly attributed to van der Waals forces, π–π stacking and electrostatic interactions. In addition, 3D HPC displayed excellent reusability and exhibited promising potential for the treatment of dyes in wastewater.
