An approach for mercury ions (Hg2+) sensing based on the Hg2+-induced aggregation of thymine (T)–SH-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been reported. The T–SH ligands that we synthesized can easily be coupled to the surface of AuNPs through the Au–S bond and can recognize Hg2+ with high selectivity by forming a T–Hg–T complex with strong affinity. For the T–SH-functionalized AuNPs (T–S-AuNPs) sensor, upon addition of Hg2+, the formation of the T–Hg–T complex induces aggregation of T–S-AuNPs and results in a significant change of color and UV-Vis absorption spectra. Thus, our method can be used for the rapid, easy and reliable screening of Hg2+ in aqueous solution, with high sensitivity (2.8 nM) and selectivity over competing analytes. The developed method is successfully applied to the sensing of Hg2+ in real environmental samples.

A series of impedancemetric sensors for ammonia detection were fabricated using yttrium stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte and La n+1 Ni n O 3n+1 (n = 1, 2, and 3) sensing electrodes. The sensing materials with layered perovskite structure were prepared using in-situ impregnation method and well-dispersed in YSZ porous skeleton after calcination at 900 °C. The sensing performances of the sensors with La n+1 Ni n O 3n+1 sensing electrodes were investigated using the impedancemetric modulus |Z| and phase angle Θ as response signals, respectively. The results show that the sensor with La 2 NiO 4+ δ sensing electrode exhibits the higher response values and sensitivity compared to the sensor using La 3 Ni 2 O 7- δ or La 4 Ni 3 O 10- δ sensing electrodes, which is attributed to the largest NH 3 adsorption capacity of La 2 NiO 4+ δ . The response signals |Z| or Θ of the La 2 NiO 4+ δ based sensor linearly depend on NH 3 concentrations. The sensor hardly is insensitive to co-existing gases such as CO 2 , CH 4 , H 2 and relative humidity, but NO or NO 2 causes a positive error.

Two new members of zincoborate fluoride series Ban+2Znn(BO3)n(B2O5)Fn (n = 1, 2), namely, Ba3Zn(BO3)(B2O5)F and Ba4Zn2(BO3)2(B2O5)F2 were firstly synthesized as high-quality single crystals via a high-temperature solution method by adjusting the molar ratios of reactants. They were structurally determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and their structures can be regarded as three dimensional (3D) framework stacking of 2∞[Zn2B6O16]10− layers for Ba3Zn(BO3)(B2O5)F and 2∞[Zn2B4O8O5/2O1/3]17/3− layers for Ba4Zn2(BO3)2(B2O5)F2. To the best of our knowledge, the two title compounds are the first examples of two kinds of isolated B–O groups that coexist in one zincoborate halide. The structure comparisons were carried out among all the available anhydrous-zincoborates, and it is interesting to conclude that about 80% of zincoborates contain isolated B–O clusters and notably the molar ratio of cation/boron (A/B) affects the polymerization of isolated B–O configuration. What's more, the first-principles calculations, infrared spectra, and UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectra of title compounds have also been performed.

In recent years, the in-situ exsolution of metal nanoparticles from the anodic oxide framework through reduction treatment has emerged as an effective strategy to boost electrochemical performance by increasing active sites and facilitating charge transfer. However, this approach is primarily restricted to simple perovskite structures. The development of novel and more efficient oxide matrices for the controlled desorption of high-density metal catalysts remains a significant challenge. In this study, Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) type layered oxides Pr 2 NiO 4 and Pr 3 Ni 2 O 7 were innovatively employed as new primary matrices with the objective of achieving controllable exsolution of nickel metal nanoparticles by leveraging their unique layered architecture. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses confirmed that following reduction treatment, Ni nanoparticles were successfully exsolved in situ from the oxide surface, with a notably higher density of Ni nanoparticles observed for Pr 3 Ni 2 O 7 . Electrochemical tests show that after 3 h of reduction at 850 °C, the cell with Pr 3 Ni 2 O 7 anode can achieve a peak power density of 969.7 mW cm −2 . Furthermore, when employed the studied compounds as anode materials, they showed negligible performance degradation after 100-h operation at 700 °C under 300 mA cm −2 current density. Furthermore, SEM characterization provided additional verification of the experimental results. This research not only underscores the considerable potential of RP phase oxides as high-performance SOFC anode materials but also offers new insights into future developments in SOFC anodes by adjusting RP phase sequences to regulate nanoparticle density effectively.

Four hydroxyfluorooxoborates, α-K2[B3O3F4(OH)] (I), β-K2[B3O3F4(OH)] (II), Cs(NH4)3[B3O3F4(OH)]2 (III), and RbCs5[B3O3F4(OH)]3 (IV), with identical fundamental building block (FBB) [B3O3F4(OH)]2–, were obtained successfully and characterized comprehensively. A phase transition between I and II was detected, which led to a space group evolution from centrosymmetric to noncentrosymmetric. The F– and OH– substitution effect was studied based on II and its hydroxyborate derivative K2[B3O3(OH)5], which reveals the corresponding changes in the band gap and the nonlinear optical properties. In addition, the cationic-size effect on the arrangement of the [B3O3F4(OH)]2– FBBs and the birefringent properties were discussed for the title compounds. This study contributes to the advancement of structural chemistry and sheds some light on the structure–property relationship studies of hydroxyfluorooxoborates.

The design and syntheses of new birefringent crystals will be of great importance in commercial applications and materials science. A series of ultraviolet (UV) birefringent crystals, AX·(H2SeO3)n (A = K, Cs; X = Cl, Br; n = 1, 2), with large sizes up to 23 × 6 × 3 mm3, was successfully synthesized by simple aqueous solution method. These four compounds belong to three different space groups. Isomorphic KCl·(H2SeO3)2 and CsCl·(H2SeO3)2 crystallize in the P1¯ space group, while CsBr·(H2SeO3)2 and CsCl·H2SeO3 crystallize in the P21/m and P21/c space groups, respectively. They exhibit cocrystal structures composed of [2(H2SeO3)]∞ and [AX]∞ frameworks, ingeniously inheriting the large optical anisotropy of selenite and the wide band gap of alkali metal halide. And it proves that these compounds indeed possess large birefringence (0.1–0.17 at 532 nm) and short UV cutoff edges (227–239 nm), achieving a balance of optical properties. This research affords a simple and viable strategy for the design and syntheses of new UV birefringent crystals. Besides, it is also found that the n value and ionic size (A and X ions) have important influences on the crystal structures and optical properties of AX·(H2SeO3)n. And this will promote further understanding of the alkali metal halide selenite family.

In this study, a novel functional monomer N -(1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-(1 H -1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethyl)acrylamide (NDTEA) was designed and synthesized, and was used to prepare Ni( ii ) ion-imprinted polymers (Ni( ii )-IIPs). Sixteen kinds of Ni( ii )-IIP (Ni( ii )-IIP 1–16 ) and corresponding non-imprinted polymers (NIP 1–16 ) were prepared by precipitation polymerization method. After optimized condition experiment, Ni( ii )-IIP 5 possessed maximum adsorption capacity and better imprinting factor under optimal experimental conditions which indicated by equilibrium adsorption experiments. The morphology and structural characteristics of Ni( ii )-IIP 5 were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). The adsorption selectivity of Ni( ii )-IIP 5 was analyzed by ICP-OES, and the results showed that Ni( ii )-IIP 5 had favorable selectivity recognition ability for Ni( ii ) when Cu( ii ), Co( ii ), and Cd( ii ) are used as competitive ions. The kinetic experiment indicated that the performance of Ni( ii ) adsorption on the surface of Ni( ii )-IIP 5 obeyed the pseudo-first-order model, and adsorption equilibrium was attained after 15 min. Isothermal adsorption process fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich isothermal adsorption models, simultaneously. The results showed that Ni( ii )-IIP 5 prepared by using a new functional monomer had better permeation selectivity and higher affinity for Ni( ii ), which also verified the rationality of the functional monomer design. At the same time, it also provided a broad application prospect for removal of Ni( ii ) in complex samples.
