The rampant misuse of organic dyes has exacerbated environmental pollution to an alarming degree. SrBi 4 Ti 4 O 15 , a layered perovskite semiconductor material, demonstrates considerable potential in the degradation of organic dyes, and efforts have been made to enhance its photocatalytic efficiency. In this study, La 3+ doping was utilized to synthesize SrBi 4-x La x Ti 4 O 15 (x=0, 0.10, 0.15, 0.25, 0.40) nanosheet photocatalysts, and their photocatalytic performance and underlying mechanisms were comprehensively investigated. XRD and Raman spectroscopy revealed that La 3+ doping replaced Bi 3+ at the A-site, resulting in a reduction of the interlayer spacing of [TiO 6 ] octahedra. Combined with DFT calculations, La 3+ doping was found to widen the band gap of SrBi 4 Ti 4 O 15 and raise the Fermi level. Additionally, La 3+ doping significantly increased the ratio of the Ti 3d component at the bottom of the conduction band, favoring the migration of photogenerated electrons along the [TiO 6 ] octahedra and accelerating the separation of photogenerated carriers. SEM and BET analyses revealed that La 3+ doping not only increased the size of the nanosheets but also significantly enhanced their specific surface area, thereby exposing more active sites. Degradation experiments of Rhodamine B (Rh B) under UV light demonstrated that the photocatalytic efficiency of SrBi 3.75 La 0.25 Ti 4 O 15 (k = 0.0514 min -1 ) was 2.66 times higher than that of the original SrBi 4 Ti 4 O 15 (k = 0.0193 min -1 ). The theoretical degradation pathway of Rh B was elucidated using LC-MS analysis and the developmental toxicity of potential intermediates was analyzed. Moreover, the SrBi 3.75 La 0.25 Ti 4 O 15 photocatalyst also exhibited excellent degradation efficacy against Methylene Blue (MB), Crystal Violet (CV), and Methyl Orange (MO). This study provides both theoretical and experimental insights into improving the photocatalytic performance of SrBi 4 Ti 4 O 15 , thereby enhancing its potential for industrial application.

Novel strategies for converting renewable lignin to bulk petrochemicals are highly desirable for achieving sustainable practices in the age of environmental awareness. Herein, we propose an efficient approach for the selective hydrogenolysis of lignin promoted by a cost-effective La3+-doped Ni/MgO catalyst. The results reveal that 84.44% lignin is converted at 270 °C for 4 h, yielding 16.50% volatile products. Importantly, approximately 43.45% of these volatile products are identified as 4-ethyl phenol (7.17% yield), an important intermediate in the fine chemical industry. Intensive analysis of the lignin before and after the reaction confirms that efficient cleavage of the ester linkages is achieved, which correlates directly with the high selectivity of 4-ethyl phenol after a readily decarboxylation reaction. Furthermore, the catalyst characterization demonstrates that La3+ suppresses the formation of a NiMgOx solid solution. Consequently, a greater degree of Ni2+ becomes reducible and the catalyst basicity becomes stronger, both of which are essential for the efficient lignin depolymerization and char reduction. As a result, a significant increase of the yield of volatile products is shown along with a substantial inhibition of biochar formation over the La-doped Ni/MgO catalyst in comparison with that without La doping. Therefore, the present work provides a new insight on producing fine chemicals via a sustainable route.

Lanthanide doped upconversion nanocrystals are widely applied in biological imaging, photonics, photovoltaics and therapeutics. Highly monodispersed and uniform products with controllable optical modulation of upconversion fluorescence really matters their promising applications. Here, Er 3+ doped Ba 2 YbF 7 nanocrystals with phase transformation, controllable morphology and tunable upconversion emission color is investigated via varying the concentration of La 3+ . Accompanied with tetragonal Ba 2 YbF 7 transformed to be cubic phase, nanocubes appear instead of nanorods, and a distinct upconversion color changing from yellow to green is obtained. Crystal structure management of Ba 2 YbF 7 contributing to a suppressive back energy transfer process, which facilitates a controllable upconversion color in monodispersed nanocrystals with a uniform morphology, is demonstrated.

Single-component white light emitters based on the all-inorganic perovskites will act as outstanding candidates for applications in solid-state lighting thanks to their abundant energy states for self-trapped excitons (STE) with ultra-high photoluminescence (PL) efficiency. Here, a complementary white light is realized by dual STEs emissions with blue and yellow colors in a single-component perovskite Cs 2 SnCl 6 :La 3+ microcrystal (MC). The dual emission bands centered at 450 and 560 nm are attributed to the intrinsic STE1 emission in host lattice Cs 2 SnCl 6 and the STE2 emission induced by the heterovalent La 3+ doping, respectively. The hue of the white light can be tunable through energy transfer between the two STEs, the variation of excitation wavelength, and the Sn 4+ /Cs + ratios in starting materials. The effects of the doping heterovalent La 3+ ions on the electronic structure and photophysical properties of the Cs 2 SnCl 6 crystals and the created impurity point defect states are investigated by the chemical potentials calculated using density functional theory (DFT) and confirmed by the experimental results. These results provide a facile approach to gaining novel single-component white light emitter and offer fundamental insights into the defect chemistry in the heterovalent ions doped perovskite luminescent crystals.

Due to the urgency of developing high energy density cathode materials in power batteries, as well as the high price and environmental unfriendliness of cobalt, researchers are working on ultra-high nickel low cobalt and ultra-high nickel cobalt-free layered cathode materials. However, the poor cyclic stability and rate performance of this material resulted from structural instability and severe surface/interface side reactions during cycling seriously hinder its practical application. In this paper, LiNi 0.9 Mn 0.1 O 2 (NM90) cathode material is modified by La 2 O 3 coating, and La 3+ doping caused by thermal diffusion is achieved simultaneously. The synergistic enhancement of the two modifications can effectively improve the layered structure and reduce surface/interface side reactions. The dual-modified material shows good structural stability, the La 2 O 3 coating does not fall off and the active material does not appear fragmentation and collapse after 100 cycles. At the same time, the dual-modified material also shows excellent electrochemical performance, with a capacity retention of 83.19% after 100 cycles at 1 C and a reversible capacity of 129.9 mAh g −1 at 10 C. The electrochemical mechanism reveals that the dual-modified material effectively reduces the charge transfer resistance and greatly increases the Li + diffusion coefficient. It will provide useful reference and technical support for the research of other electrode materials. Graphical abstract The NM90 and La 2 O 3 -coated NM90 particles have similar spherical morphology and are formed by the agglomeration of many primary particles; the surface of NM90 material is evenly coated by La 2 O 3 and No obvious boundary between La 2 O 3 and NM90 materials is found; LiNi 0.9 Mn 0.1 O 2 cathode material coated by 1wt% La 2 O 3 has the best cycle stability.

Herein, refined La x Ca 0.89- x Sr 0.11 MnO 3 (LCSMO, x = 0.65, 0.68, 0.71 and 0.74) films were prepared through the sol-gel spin-coating. The influence of La 3+ content on the structural properties of LCSMO films was investigated by X-ray diffraction and Atomic force microscope, demonstrating that LCSMO films can grow well on SrTiO 3 (00 l ) substrate. Besides, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy verified the double exchange (DE) effect was weakened with La 3+ dopant. The La 3+ doping and interconnected grains boundaries (GBs) led to the weakening DE effect and GBs scattering, respectively. Due to superior GBs connectivity, the resistivity of LCSMO films was less than 7.1 × 10 −4 Ω·cm at low temperature of 100 K. Importantly, it is an effective control method to keep the temperature ( T k ) corresponding to temperature coefficient of resistivity ( TCR ) at room temperature with Sr 2+ content as constant in LCSMO films. At x = 0.71, the peak TCR value was found to be 8.84%/K and corresponding T k was 283.15 K. These results are beneficial for advanced application of uncooling infrared bolometer.

In this study, the La doped Mn–Zn nanoferrites were synthesized through hydrothermal method , and then were used to activate persulfate for degrading azo dye the Direct Blue 15 (DB15). The structure and morphology of the as-prepared sample were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS). The results indicated that the La doped Mn–Zn ferrite was successfully synthesized in this study. Four absorption bands were observed in FTIR spectra and assigned to the corresponding site bonds. Mn 0.6 Zn 0.4 La x Fe 2- x O 4 was chosen as catalysts to activate persulfate (PS/Mn 0.6 Zn 0.4 La x Fe 2- x O 4 ) to decolorize the DB15. It was found that the DB15 was degraded effectively by PS/Mn 0.6 Zn 0.4 La x Fe 2- x O 4 systems. Furthermore, the influences of synthesized conditions (such as the temperature, holding time and doping content of La) of Mn 0.6 Zn 0.4 La x Fe 2- x O 4 on the DB15 decolorization were analyzed. The results indicated that the doping of La can significantly improve the DB15 degradation, 100% degradation of DB15 can be obtained by PS/Mn 0.6 Zn 0.4 La 0.09 Fe 1.91 O 4 within 15 min. The enhancement of synthesized holding time of Mn 0.6 Zn 0.4 La x Fe 2- x O 4 at 160 °C can also increase the DB15 decolorization, and the degradation rate of the DB15 reached almost 100% within 25 min when using Mn 0.6 Zn 0.4 La 0.05 Fe 1.95 O 4 synthesized at 160 °C for 13 h as catalyst.

Lithium-sulfur batteries are considered a favourable contender for next-generation energy storage systems owing to their high energy density (2600 Wh·kg −1 ). However, the severe "shuttle effect" of polysulfides and the slow redox kinetics involving phase transitions have seriously limited the commercialization of lithium-sulfur batteries. On this basis, in this paper, a type of nanoflower structure rare-earth lanthanum ion (La 3+ ) doping Sn 3 O 4 with a large number of catalytic active interfaces is designed via a facile one-step hydrothermal method. When serves as a capture centre to immobilize polysulfides, it exhibits a strong chemical adsorption capacity. Moreover, due to the unique 4 f electron configuration of the rare-earth elements, nanoflower structure La 3+ doping Sn 3 O 4 (La@Sn 3 O 4 ) as sulfur-wrapped matrix has a strong catalytic activity, which can effectively accelerate the conversion process of polysulfides. At the same time, the catalytic mechanism of La@Sn 3 O 4 /S composite cathode material targeting the solid to liquid phase transformation of polysulfides is effectively revealed via in-situ Raman spectroscopy test and the initial discharge capacity can reach 1429.6 mAh·g −1 at a current density of 0.1 C, and the capacity retention rate is 76.5 % after 130 cycles.

Driven by the increasing global demand for lithium, significant attention has been directed toward developing efficient technologies for lithium extraction from Salt Lake brines. Li 1.6 Mn 1.6 O 4 spinel shows high lithium selectivity and notable theoretical uptake capacity, indicating strong application potential in lithium extraction. However, the industrial application of this material is limited by its strong Jahn-Teller effect and manganese dissolution loss. In this study, LiOH and MnCO 3 were selected as the raw materials and La 2 O 3 was used as the doping modifier. The La 3+ -doped Li 1.6 Mn 1.6 O 4 precursor (La-LMO) was fabricated through hydrothermal and high-temperature solid-phase synthesis techniques. Then La 3+ doped H 1.6 Mn 1.6 O 4 lithium ion-sieve (La-HMO) was prepared by pickling. The materials' structure and morphology were examined using XRD, SEM, TEM, and XPS techniques. La 3+ doping does not alter the spinel structure of LMO but reduces Mn 3+ content, mitigates the Jahn-Teller effect, lowers the manganese dissolution rate, and enhances structural stability. Adsorption of Li + onto La-HMO follows pseudo-second-order kinetics and fits the Langmuir model, suggesting homogeneous monolayer adsorption driven by chemisorption. In the lithium extraction experiment from the brine of West Tai Kinel Salt Lake, La-HMO demonstrated high adsorption capacity and superior selectivity for Li + . After five cycles, La-HMO maintained an adsorption capacity of 33.10 mg/g, higher than the 26.80 mg/g for undoped HMO. The manganese dissolution rate dropped from 4.65% to 4.04%. The study significantly improved the adsorption properties and structural stability of HMO by doping La 3+ , which has broad application prospects in the separation and extraction of lithium resources in Salt Lake.

The phase structure and morphology of the as-prepared products are systematically studied by various analytical methods. It demonstrates that Y 3+ , Cr 3+ and La 3+ are successfully introduced into the Sr-site of SrLi 2 Ti 6 O 14 without changing its morphology and size. Galvanostatic discharge/charge tests and rate properties are also investigated between 5.0 and 2.0 V. Contributed to the enhanced electronic conductivity , improved lithium-ion diffusion coefficient and decreased charge-transfer resistance after La 3+ doping, it is found that Sr 0.95 La 0.05 Li 2 Ti 6 O 14 exhibits high reversible capacity and excellent rate capability. It can deliver an initial charge capacity of 159.54 mAh g −1 at 100 mA g −1 with the capacity retention of 94.7% after 100 cycles. Furthermore, it can still deliver an initial capacity of 146.21 mAh g −1 at 700 mA g −1 , with only 8.7% of capacity lost after 1000 cycles. In addition, its structural stability and electrochemical reversibility are also demonstrated by in-situ XRD investigation, with only 2.16% of volume expansion throughout the whole discharge and charge process.

A conventional preparation method of electroceramics was used to synthesise Pb-free 0.85Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 -0.15CaTiO 3 - x La (NBT-CT- x La) ceramics. La 3+ doping effectively refined the grains and enhanced the dielectric breakdown strength (BDS) of the ceramics; this result was confirmed by numerical simulations, which revealed that grain refinement significantly contributed to the enhancement of the BDS. The energy storage density consequently improved when an appropriate amount of La 3+ was added to the NBT-CT ceramics. In particular, the NBT-CT-0.75La ceramic displayed a maximum energy storage density of 2.15 J/cm 3 and a high BDS of 210 kV/cm. This ceramic also possessed relatively excellent temperature and frequency stabilities (30–150 °C, 0.2–200 Hz). Moreover, the ceramics exhibited exceptional charge–discharge performances, with an outstanding power density of 43.87 MW/cm 3 , which is nearly twice of that of other NBT-based ceramics. On the basis of the findings, the NBT-CT-0.75La ceramic can be considered to be a promising candidate material for the pulsed power application.
