Dense bulk samples of (Ag,In)-co-doped Cu 2 SnSe 3 have been prepared by a fast and one-step method of combustion synthesis, and their thermoelectric properties have been investigated from 323 to 823 K. The experimental results show that Ag-doping at Cu site remarkably enhances the Seebeck coefficient, reduces both electrical and thermal conductivities, and finally increases the figure of merit (ZT) value. The ZT of the Cu 1.85 Ag 0.15 SnSe 3 sample reaches 0.80 at 773 K, which is improved by about 70% compared with the unadulterated sample (ZT = 0.46 at 773 K). First principle calculation indicates that Ag-doping changes the electronic structure of Cu 2 SnSe 3 and results in larger effective mass of carriers, thus enhancing the Seebeck coefficient and reducing the electrical conductivity. The low electrical conductivity caused by Ag-doping can be repaired by accompanying In-doping at Sn site, and by (Ag,In)-co-doping the thermoelectric properties are further promoted. The (Ag,In)-co-doped sample of Cu 1.85 Ag 0.15 Sn 0.9 In 0.1 Se 3 shows the maximum ZT of 1.42 at 823 K, which is likely the best result for Cu 2 SnSe 3 -based materials up to now. This work indicates that co-doping may provide an effective solution to optimize the conflicting material properties for increasing ZT.

Propane dehydrogenation is a promising way to produce propylene . Catalysts with high propane conversion, selectivity to propylene , and stability are vital to this technology. In this work, we determined that the catalytic performance of Pt/SBA-15 can be significantly enhanced by introducing an appropriate amount of indium . A too low ratio of In/Pt (1/8) or too high of a ratio (2/1) is detrimental to the activity of the catalyst. When the nominal ratio of Pt to In is 1/1, the initial propane conversion and selectivity towards propylene over 1Pt1In/SBA-15 are highest among all catalysts tested at 57.06 % and 99.04 %, respectively. The conversion rate decreased to 39.63 % after 28 h of reaction, but selectivity was retained at greater than 99 %. Very little coke was deposited on the used 1Pt1In/SBA-15 catalyst. With catalyst characterization, it was proposed that Pt 1 In 1 alloy nanoparticles with surface-enriched In 2 O 3 were responsible for the selective dehydrogenation of propane.

Enhancing photocatalytic performance via electronic modulation have attracted much attention for synergetic photocatalytic degradation of antibiotic pollutant. In this study, a new hetero-structured system is raised, which comprises In 2 S 3 coupled to In-MOF and operates as an efficient photocatalyst for RhB degradation. The formation of hetero-structure and occurred electron modulation of In 2 S 3 /In-MOF hybrid was confirmed by relevant characterizations. Surprisingly, the In 2 S 3 /In-MOF hybrid represented enhanced photocatalytic ability over In-MOF. The photocatalysis of Rhodamine B in presence of In 2 S 3 /In-MOF hybrid has achieved 92.2 % degradation.

The development of highly active and stable photocatalysts, an effective way to remediate environment pollution and alleviate energy shortages, remains a challenging issue. In this work, a CdIn2S4/In(OH)3nanocomposite was deposited in-situ on NiCr-LDH nanosheets by a simple hydrothermal method, and the obtained CdIn2S4/In(OH)3/NiCr-LDH heterostructure photocatalysts with multiple intimate-contact interfaces exhibited better photocatalytic activity. The photocatalytic H2evolution rate of CdIn2S4/In(OH)3/NiCr-LDH increased to 10.9 and 58.7 times that of the counterparts CdIn2S4and NiCr-LDH, respectively. Moreover, the photocatalytic removal efficiency of Cr(VI) increased from 6% for NiCr-LDH and 75% for CdIn2S4to 97% for CdIn2S4/In(OH)3/NiCr-LDH. The enhanced photocatalytic performance was attributed to the formation of multi-interfaces with strong interfacial interactions and staggered band alignments, which offered multiple pathways for carrier migration, thus promoting the separation efficiency of photo-excited electrons and holes. This study demonstrates a facile method to fabricate inexpensive and efficient heterostructure photocatalysts for solving environmental problems.

Sb-doping has been demonstrated to be a new approach to promote Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 (CIGS) thin film formation . To study the mechanism of Sb-promoted CIGS formation, we investigated the influence of Sb on the evolution of the critical intermediate Cu–Se phases, and found that Cu 3 SbSe 3 species was formed. Phase change of the as-prepared Cu–Se compounds at elevated temperature was determined using the differential scanning calorimetry analysis. For samples containing Sb, the melting decomposition occurred at 507.1 °C, along with aggregation of nanocrystals into a bulk, while the morphology of the sample without Sb barely changed after heating. This result suggests that the mobile Cu 3 SbSe 3 is likely the key intermediate responsible for Sb-promoted CIGS formation. Furthermore, we extended the scope of Sb-doping approach to solvothermal synthesis and CIGS nanocrystals were synthesized with significantly promoted kinetics in the presence of Sb. Based on these results, we propose the mechanism of Sb promoted CIGS formation.

The doping effect of Si, In and Ge in Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZ) as the solid electrolyte was studied via conventional solid-state reaction. The crystal structure, cross-sectional morphology, element distribution and conductivity were characterized for the undoped and doped LLZ ceramics. Our results showed that Si and In doping deteriorate electrical properties of LLZ as electrolyte, while Ge doping obviously improves properties. Ge might thus be a promising element for further increasing the ionic conductivity of LLZ ceramics.

In this report, doping concentration-dependent photoluminescence (PL) properties of Mn-doped ternary Zn–In–S quantum dots (QDs) were studied by using steady-state and time-resolved PL spectroscopy. The QDs PL was firstly significantly intensified with the increasing Mn doping concentration and then decreased after the doping concentration increased up to 7.5 at.%. However, their decay lifetimes exhibit a monotone decrease with Mn doping concentration ranged from 0 to 10 at.%. It can be concluded that the PL intensity was mainly determined by two factors: one was the increased efficiency of energy transfer from host excitons to Mn 2+ ion accepter, and the other was the decreased efficiency of the emission from a Mn 2+ ion, which was caused by the increased component of exposed Mn 2+ ions on QDs surface and the accelerated interaction between adjacent dopants. The competition of above two exciton relaxation dynamics processes determined the trend of the PL intensity, while the latter was responsible for the monotonously decreased lifetime of the Mn 2+ ion emission with the increasing Mn doping concentration.

Recently, Cu-doped ternary chalcogenide quantum dots (QDs) have attracted extensive attention due to their large Stokes shift and tunable photoluminescence (PL) behavior in the visible and near-infrared (NIR) spectral range, and particularly for their remarkably lower toxicity than their Cd-based counterparts. However, there still remain material- and fabrication-related obstacles in realizing high-performance Cu-doped QDs, which limit their promising applications in light-emitting devices and bio-labeling. In the present study, we report the facile synthesis of high-qualified Cu-doped Zn–In–Se QDs via a hot injection approach, using a heterogeneous dispersion of Se in octadecene (ODE) as a “green” Se precursor. With variation of the ratios of Zn to In, the obtained Cu-doped Zn–In–Se QDs exhibited composition-tunable PL emissions over the most visible spectral window (ca. 565–710 nm) with a PL quantum yield (QY) up to 38% after coating ZnSe shells, which is the highest one ever reported in this system. Furthermore, we report, for the first time, the exploration of QD light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) based on the Cu-doped Zn–In–Se QDs as the active layer, which had a maximum luminance of 320 cd m−2 and a luminous efficiency (LE) of 0.97 cd A−1 (at 98 cd m−2), suggesting their promising potential for application in optoelectronic devices.

In recent years, light-emitting Mn 2+ -doped nanocrystals (NCs) have been widely studied because of their strong and stable Mn 2+ d–d emission. Herein, highly efficient colloidal Mn 2+ -doped Cd–In–S NCs were prepared by a hot injection strategy. The as-prepared NCs have a cubic crystal structure of CdS host and exhibit strong Mn 2+ emission. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity, PL position, and PL lifetime of this Mn 2+ emission can be adjusted by changing the doping level of Mn 2+ . In particular, by tuning the amount of dopant, the emission color can be varied in the range of 601 nm to 643 nm, which is due to the coordination field environment of Mn 2+ ions changed by the doping concentration. The PL intensity of Mn 2+ is significantly enhanced by the ZnS shell coating, and the highest PL quantum yield can reach 56%, which is attributed to the removal of NCs surface-related defects by shell modification. A prototype LED was fabricated as well by using the as-prepared highly efficient Mn 2+ -doped Cd–In–S NCs as a color conversion material. The Mn 2+ -doped multicomponent semiconductor NCs reported here extend the availability of classical Mn 2+ -doped luminescent materials and provide alternatives for other applications requiring orange-red colloidal NCs.

The existence of sulfur dioxide and water vapor in the flue gas generated from waste-to-energy stations could lead to catalyst deactivation , which has adverse effects on NO x removal. It is thus particularly important to study the reaction mechanism of catalyst resistance to poisoning. Herein, we report the mechanism of In-Co 3 O 4 -Ga 2 O 3 /H-Beta catalyst to SO 2 and H 2 O resistance in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO x by CH 4 . The catalyst could achieve 74.6% NO x removal efficiency in the presence of 100 ppm SO 2 and 5% H 2 O. In this catalyst, Co 3 O 4 is attributed to enhancing the reversible poisoning of SO 2 and CH 4 activation and increasing the number of Brønsted acid sites by decomposing H 2 O. However, the InO + active center was still eroded by a small amount of water vapor, leading to a reduction in NO x removal efficiency. The addition of Ga 2 O 3 primarily provided an important intermediate NO 2 for CH 4 -SCR reaction and reduced the aggregates of Co 3 O 4 to increase the exposure of indium sites, and could reduce a part of SO 2 to S 2− . This study provides a good candidate for preparing catalysts with superior resistance towards SO 2 and H 2 O for CH 4 -SCR.

In this work, we reported the growth of cadmium-free Ag-doped Zn–In–S nanocrystals (NCs) with effective photoluminescence (PL) via a hot-injection strategy. The effects of the nucleation temperatures, reaction times, and Ag-doping concentrations on the PL properties of Ag-doped Zn–In–S NCs were investigated systematically. The as-synthesized NCs exhibit color-tunable PL emissions covering a broad visible range of 472–585 nm. After being passivated by a protective ZnS shell, the PL quantum yield (QY) of the resultant NCs was greatly improved up to 33%. With the increase of the Ag-doping level, the PL is significantly intensified due to the improved concentration of Ag ions which provides more holes to recombine with electrons from the bottom of the conduction band. This also makes the emission via the dopant energy level become a powerful, competitive advantage for the NCs with higher Ag-doping levels, resulting in a longer lifetime and higher PL QY. These results suggest that tailoring the Ag-doping level can be a powerful strategy to control the optical properties of Ag-doped Zn–In–S NCs.

Owing to the unavoidable electron scattering , introducing phonon-scattering defects to suppress the phonon diffusion in thermoelectric materials will always deteriorate the carrier transport. Therefore, exploring new methods to counterpoise the contradiction between carrier transport and phonon scattering is urgently needed. Herein, present work highlights that Pb/In codoping on BiCuSeO can suppress the phonon propagation while preserving the carrier transport, which alleviates the contradiction between carrier mobility (μ) and lattice thermal conductivity (κ l ), and improves the thermoelectric performance in Pb/In-codoped BiCuSeO. Multi-scale phonon-scattering centers, such as point defects , dislocations, In 2 O 3 /Cu 2 Se nano-precipitates and phase/grain boundaries, were introduced to promote full-wavelength phonon scattering, which brought about much reduced κ l and substantially low total thermal conductivity, and a minimum κ l of 0.30 W m −1 K −1 was achieved in Bi 0·91 Pb 0·06 In 0·03 CuSeO at 873 K. More importantly, Pb/In codoping can compensate the increased density of state effective masses caused by Pb single-doping, which resulted in improved μ and the obvious increased μ/κ l . In addition, the improved μ also led to considerably increased electrical conductivity and power factor. Finally, the maximum ZT of 1.23 at 873 K and a high ZT avg of 0.72 between 300 and 873 K are achieved in Bi 0·93 Pb 0·06 In 0·01 CuSeO, which is superior to both the pristine and Pb-single-doped counterparts. Our findings elucidate the importance of balancing the carrier transport and phonon scattering during defect modulation of the thermoelectric performance.
