Birefringent materials are of great important as opto-electronic functional devices in solid laser system. Investigations on the design of new birefringent materials with large birefringence is meaningful. In this study, structure-birefringence relationship between AgGaS 2 (AGS) and NaGaS 2 (NGS) was systematically investigated. In the structures, the high ionic Na + cations broke the three dimensional (3D) [GaS] network to 2D layers, which results in the regular packing of GaS 4 tetrahedra and further the birefringence (~0.09, nearly twice that of AGS at ~1064 nm). Meanwhile, the blue-shift of the UV cutoff edge to 307 nm and a wide band gap of 3.9 eV has been observed in NGS. The property characterizations were carried out using the as-grown NGS single crystal with a size of 4 × 4 × 0.3 mm 3 by high temperature flux method. The results indicate that NGS may be a promising IR birefringent material and the cation substitution-oriented design strategy could be used to regulate the structure and optical properties of materials.

The realization of Eu 3+ reduction and its reduction mechanism have become focal points in the field of WLED phosphor research. In this study, the reduction of Eu 3+ was successfully achieved through cationic substitution strategy by replacing Zr 4+ with Hf 4+ in Na 2 ZrSiO 5 :Eu 3+ . The effects of substituting Hf 4+ for Zr 4+ on the phase, crystal structure, and luminescence properties of Na 2 Zr 1- x Hf x SiO 5 :Eu 0.03 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) were thoroughly investigated based on Rietveld refinement , spectral data, DFT calculation and electronegativity of ions. Comprehensive consideration was given to the effect of site size change and site reducibility on Eu 3+ reduction. The results demonstrate that the reduction of Eu 3+ in Na 2 Zr 1- x Hf x SiO 5 :Eu 0.03 is attributed to the alteration in inducible effect caused by cationic substitution and the enhancement in site reducibility rather than changes in site size. Therefore, the cationic substitution strategy based on induction effect presents a novel approach for achieving Eu 3+ reduction and offers a new insight into developing and modifying Eu 2+ -activated phosphors.

The preparation of the adsorbent plays an important role in the adsorption technology, especially the selection of adsorbents with high specific surface area and special structure is particularly critical to the entire adsorption process . Herein, a series of ternary LDHs was designed via a facile hydrothermal method , and in another word, all derived from binary CoAl-LDH by substituting with another transition metals(Ni, Zn, Fe), used as adsorbents to remove MO and CR. The adsorption capacity of the obtained ternary LDHs are better than that of the pristine CoAl-LDH, and CoNiAl-LDH stands out with the higher adsorption capacity than other ternary LDHs samples whether the dye is MO or CR. Then the effect of initial dye concentration, pH and temperature on its MO adsorption performance was systematically studied. The maximum adsorption capacity reached more than 330 mg/g under the optimal conditions (25 °C, pH=3). This work may provide a method to design the advanced adsorbents design for further enhancing the adsorption activity in the field of water environmental protection.

To achieve high-color-rendering WLED devices, exploration of blue‒cyan phosphors that can be excited by near-ultraviolet (NUV) chips is particularly important to compensate for the cyan gap. In this work, feldspar-structured Sr 1-y Al 2- x Ga x Si 2 O 8 :yCe 3+ blue-cyan phosphors were prepared via a high-temperature solid-phase method and a cation substitution strategy. The luminescence performance of the Sr 0.96 Al 2 Si 2 O 8 :0.04Ce 3+ sample was improved by applying the cation substitution strategy of partially replacing Al 3+ with Ga 3+ , and the representative sample Sr 0.96 Al 1.4 Ga 0.6 Si 2 O 8 :0.04Ce 3+ was obtained. The luminescence intensity increased threefold for the Sr 0.96 Al 1.4 Ga 0.6 Si 2 O 8 :0.04Ce 3+ compound compared to Sr 0.96 Al 2 Si 2 O 8 :0.04Ce 3+ , and a broadband blue‒cyan phosphor with a half-height width of 100 nm was obtained. The representative sample Sr 0.96 Al 1.4 Ga 0.6 Si 2 O 8 :0.04Ce 3+ showed relatively good thermal stability. Sr 0.96 Al 1.4 Ga 0.6 Si 2 O 8 :0.04Ce 3+ was combined with 365 nm NUV LED chips and commercial (Sr, Ca)AlSiN 3 :Eu 2+ to obtain WLED devices with color rendering index (Ra) as high as 94.8 and correlated color temperatures (CCTs) as high as 4831.4 K. These results show that the blue-cyan phosphor complements the cyan component while simplifying the manufacturing process of WLEDs.

Due to their high specific capacity and long cycle life, bimetallic sulfides are the preferred choice of researchers as anodes in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, studies indicate that this class of materials often requires expensive elements such as Co, Sb, Sn, etc., and their performance is insufficient with the use of inexpensive Fe, V alone. Therefore, there is a need to explore the relationship between metal cations and anode performance so that the requirements of cost reduction and performance enhancement can be met simultaneously. In this work, a series of partially replaced sulfides with different cation ratios have been prepared by a hydrothermal method followed by heat treatment. By partially replacing Co in NiCo sulfides, all samples show improved capacity and stability over the original NiCo sulfides. As a result, the metal elements have different oxidation states, which leads to a higher capacity through their synergistic effects on each other. Mn-NiCoS with 10% replacement showed satisfactory capacity (721.09 mAh g−1at 300 mA g−1, 662.58 mAh g−1after 20 cycles) and excellent cycle life (85.41% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 2000 mA g−1).

Metal chalcogenides are charming candidates for nonlinear optical (NLO) materials due to their multiple functional structural units and large polarizability. Here, isostructural Sn-based chalcogenides BaZnSnQ4 (Q = S, Se) were successfully synthesized based on the idea of heterovalent cations co-substitution of the Ga site in the parent BaGa2Se4. They crystallize in an orthorhombic system with polar space group Fdd2. Their structures are built by the NLO functional motifs ZnQ4 and SnQ4 tetrahedra. BaZnSnS4 (1) and BaZnSnSe4 (2) exhibit good SHG effects (0.6 and 1.0 times than that of AgGaS2) and also show type-I phase-matchable behaviors. In addition, their laser-induced damage thresholds are about 9.8 and 5.7 times higher than that of AgGaS2, respectively. BaZnSnS4 possesses a larger bandgap (3.25 eV) among the quaternary chalcogenide AMIIMIVQ4 (A = Sr, Ba; MII = Zn, Cd, Hg; MIV = Si, Ge, Sn; Q = S, Se) system. On the basis of theoretical calculation result, the source of SHG responses can be assigned to the synergetic effect of large distorted tetrahedral units. The achievement of this work provides a route to obtain new infrared NLO materials.
