Graphical A simple one-step method is reported to synthesize low-temperature solution-processed transition metal oxides (TMOs) of molybdenum oxide and vanadium oxide with oxygen vacancies for a good hole-transport layer (HTL). The oxygen vacancy plays an essential role for TMOs when they are employed as HTLs: TMO films with excess oxygen are highly undesirable for their application in organic electronics.

Nanoscale tungsten bronze can convert near-infrared light into thermal energy. For a chemical synthesis, intermediate products and processes are potentially positive or negative to an end product. In this study, (NH4)2SO4was added into the hydrothermal system of WO3, CsCl, CH3CH2CHO, and NH3·H2O to increase the Cs/W ratio in solution. An intermediate, Cs1.1W1.65O5.5, was isolated. Subsequently, it was confirmed via a kinetics experiment conducted for different times. The results of the NH3·H2O and NH4COOCH3system indicate there are two influence factors that influence the formation of Cs1.1W1.65O5.5: the leaching out of W and imine reactions. A low leaching out rate induces a high Cs/W ratio and low-concentration W in solution, leading to the formation of Cs1.1W1.65O5.5. The imine reaction decreasing CH3CH2CHO restrains the reduction in Cs1.1W1.65O5.5. The increase in CH3CH2COO−with the reduction reaction results in both the micron-size sticks and nano-size equiaxial particles in powder.Keywords:cesium tungsten bronze;intermediate;hydrothermal;synthesis;near-infrared response

Tin-bearing middling, a hazardous solid waste produced during beneficiation of tin deposits and tin-bearing tailings, presents a serious environmental pollution risk due to high levels of As. This paper aims to explore an environmentally friendly technology to reduce toxic substances and prepare a high value-added bronze material from tin-bearing middling. The co-process for tin-bearing middling, anthracite , and copper is first proposed at 1073–1123 K. Variables like temperature, amount of added anthracite, and holding time were optimized. Those results showed that 95.56% Sn and 92.79% As were recovered; levels of Fe in the residue reached 73.52 wt%. During roasting, SnO 2 in the tin-bearing middling was initially transformed into SnO(g), then into an Fe–Sn spinel (Fe 3-x Sn x O 4 ) and Ca 2 SnO 4 , and finally a Cu–Sn alloy. Generation of the Fe–Sn spinel came primarily from substitution of Fe 2+ by Sn 2+ , but small amounts of Sn 4+ replaced Fe 3+ in Fe 3 O 4 . Meanwhile, FeAsS and FeAsO 4 were initially transformed into As 4 (g) and then solidified as a Cu–As alloy. Interestingly, the residual As existed as Fe–As alloy, but As leaching levels did not exceed 0.02 mg/L. After initial treatment, the Cu alloy can be prepared for bronze. Meanwhile, subsequent volatilization and solidification of As resulted in a significant reduction of arsenic-bearing waste that minimizes environmental risk.

A simple two-electrode system was utilized to fabricate a layer of CuCl on the surface of bronze for simulating the "bronze disease". The addition of L-arginine (Arg) reduced the conversion time of the CuCl patina in water from 6 h to 3 h and enhanced the protection efficiency of the transformed patina from 27.9 % to 81.8 %. The alkalinity of Arg and its coordination capacity with Cu 2 + facilitate the transformation of CuCl, modify the transformation mechanism, and alter the morphology and structure of the patina. The immersion experiment further substantiates the stability and self-reinforcing properties of the Arg-transformed patina.

Filled tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) structure Sr 4 La 2 Ti 4 Nb 6 O 30 co-doped by Er 3+ and Yb 3+ (SLTN: x Er 3+ – y Yb 3+ ) ceramics with different x and y were synthesized, and their crystal structure, upconversion photoluminescence (UC-PL), and dielectric permittivity were investigated for the first time. Under 980 nm infrared (IR) excitation, bright single-band UC green (515–570 nm) emission was observed for SLTN: x Er 3+ – y Yb 3+ ( x =0.05, y =0), however, featured two-bands UC emission (515–570 nm and 640–690 nm) was confirmed for all SLTN: x Er 3+ – y Yb 3+ ( x =0.05, y ≠0) samples. Two-photon energy transfer process was proved through pumping laser power dependence of emission intensity measurement. It is believed that energy back transfer (EBT) process should be mainly responsible for the two-bands UC emission. In addition, the dielectric properties were also discussed for SLTN: x Er 3+ – y Yb 3+ system.

In this study, Ba 4 RCo 0.5 Nb 9.5 O 30 (R = La, Nd, Sm, Eu) (BRCN) ceramics were synthesized using a high-temperature solid-state reaction. The XRD refinement results show that ceramic samples are tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB). As the radius of rare-earth ions decreases, the unit cell volume of BRCN ceramics decreases, and the radius difference between Ba 2+ and R ions increase, which results in BO 6 octahedral distortion and the Raman peaks shift to high frequency. In addition, as the radius of rare-earth ions decreases, the ionic displacements increase and thus the dielectric constant peak temperature goes up. The high-temperature impedance results show that there exists n-type electronic conduction in the samples. The remanent polarization of the P–E curve at low frequencies increases from 0.470 to 1.038 μC cm −2 as the rare-earth ion radius decreases.

Although the optical properties of nanocrystalline cesium tungsten bronze have been widely studied, there is a lack of research on the effect of particle size on its optical properties. In order to further investigate size and shape effect on the NIR shielding performance, cesium tungsten bronze nanoparticles with different sizes and morphologies were prepared by two methods. The size of irregular shaped samples prepared by solvothermal method is tens of nanometers, while the size of hexagonal prism shaped samples prepared by solid state reaction method is hundreds of nanometers. The element spectrums shows that there are more oxygen vacancies in large particles than in small particles. The NIR shielding performance of large particles far lower than that of small particles, indicating that the influence of shape and size on optical properties is more obvious than that of oxygen vacancy. Theoretical calculation on hexagonal prism shaped particles exhibits that the NIR extinction of large aspect ratio is better at longer wavelength and small aspect ratio is better at shorter wavelength.

Tribocatalysis is a method that converts mechanical energy into chemical energy. In this study, we synthesized tungsten bronze structure Ba0.75Sr0.25Nb1.9Ta0.1O6 ferroelectric ceramic submicron powder using a traditional solid-state route, and the powder exhibits excellent performance in tribocatalysis water splitting for hydrogen. Under the friction stirring of three polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) magnetic stir bars in pure water, the rate of hydrogen generation by Ba0.75Sr0.25Nb1.9Ta0.1O6 ferroelectric submicron powder is 200 μmol/h/g, and after 72 hours, the accumulated hydrogen production reaches 15892.8 μmol/g. Additionally, this ferroelectric tungsten bronze ferroelectric material also exhibits excellent tribocatalysis degradation ability toward RhB dyes, with degradation efficiency reaching 96% in 2 hours. The work of tribocatalysis based on tungsten bronze ferroelectric materials represents a significant step forward in versatile energy utilization for clean energy and environmental wastewater degradation.

It is urgently necessary to develop efficient and environmentally friendly catalysts to solve pollution problems faced by humankind. In this work, ferroelectric Ba 2-x Sr 3+x LaNb 7 Ti 3 O 30 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) (BSLNT) tungsten bronze ceramics were prepared using a high-temperature solid-phase method and applied as tribocatalysts for degradation of organics. The built-in electric field in ferroelectric BSLNT was enhanced by modulating the ferroelectric polarization and by electrical poling. The degradation results show that better ferroelectric properties of the tribocatalysts led to better the catalytic capability with 92% RhB degradation after 2 h. The further enhanced polarization of the catalyst by electrical poling can improve the degradation efficiency of RhB to 96.8% in 2 h. Under the synergistic effect of illumination and friction, the degradation efficiency of RhB after 30 min reached 95.2%. Therefore, a highly efficient ferroelectric tribocatalyst with an enhanced built-in electric field for degradation of dye wastewater was demonstrated, expanding the application of ferroelectric materials in the catalysis field.

Searching for a new approach in environmental remediation in terms of dye degradation is important in industrialized society. In this work, ferroelectric Ba2.5Sr2.5Nb8Ta2O30 (BSNT) submicron powders prepared by the high-temperature solid-phase method are used for dye degradation under magnetic stirring. The dye in solution can be quickly degraded by magnetically stirring BSNT submicron particles in the dark in ambient temperature conditions. More importantly, the degradation efficiency can be greatly improved through simple modification of the stirring materials from glass to polypropylene, with a degradation efficiency of rhodamine B as high as 99% in 1.5 h at a gentle stirring speed of 300 rpm. Control experiments reveal that the degradation of the dye is mainly contributed by the friction between BSNT submicron particles and PTFE stirring rods. It is proposed that the friction between ferroelectric polar BSNT particles and PTFE causes charge transfer and induces a non-zero internal electric field to drive the separation of electron–hole pairs in BSNT particles, resulting in a novel tribocatalytic degradation of the dye, which is proven by the detection of ˙OH and ˙O2− intermediate products during stirring. This work demonstrates that the friction energy of ferroelectric materials with strong polarization is an alternative approach for highly efficient dye degradation.

The triboelectric effect has recently demonstrated its great potential in environmental remediation and even new energy applications for triggering a number of catalytic reactions by utilizing trivial mechanical energy. In this study, Ba 4 Nd 2 Fe 2 Nb 8 O 30 (BNFN) submicron powders were used to degrade organic dyes via the tribocatalytic effect. Under the frictional excitation of three PTFE stirring rods in a 5 mg/L RhB dye solution, BNFN demonstrates a high tribocatalytic degradation efficiency of 97% in 2 h. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and superoxide radicals (•O 2 -) were also detected during the catalysis process, which proves that triboelectric energy stimulates BNFN to generate electron-hole pairs. The tribocatalysis of tungsten bronze BNFN submicron powders provides a novel and efficient method for the degradation of wastewater dye by utilizing trivial mechanical energy.

Tungsten bronze coatings and films have attracted global attention for their applications in near-infrared (NIR)-shielding windows. However, they are unstable in strong ultraviolet, humid heat, alkaline and/or oxidizing environments and are difficult to be coated on glass surfaces with complex shape. Here, we address these limitations by doping sodium tungsten bronze (Na x WO 3 ) into bulk glasses using a simple glass melting method. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, TEM and SEM-EDS characterization confirmed the presence of sodium tungsten bronze (Na x WO 3 ) functional units inside the 34SiO 2 -38B 2 O 3 -28NaF glass matrix. Because the functional units are well protected by the glass matrix, the fabricated glasses are stable under hot, humid, oxidizing conditions, as well as under ambient conditions, with no change after 360 days. The NIR-shielding performance of these glasses can be adjusted to as high as 100 % by varying WO x concentration (2−8 mol%) and quenching temperature (1000−1400 °C). With a content of 6 mol% WO x and a quenching temperature of 1000 °C, the bulk glass shows 63 % transmission of visible light and only 11 % transmission of NIR light at 1100 nm. Thermal insulation experiments show that the NIR-shielding performance of the glasses are far superior to commercial soda lime window glass or indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) glass, and comparable to cesium tungsten bronze coated glass. The novel bulk glasses have higher stability, simpler processing, and can be easily made into complex shapes, making them excellent alternative materials for energy-saving glasses.
