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.

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.

In the present work, we reported the synthesis of Mn2+-doped Zn–In–S quantum dots (QDs) with high optical performance in a controlled manner. The effects of the temperature, the introduced ODE-S amount and Zn/In ratios in the raw materials, as well as the Mn2+ doping concentrations on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of Mn2+-doped Zn–In–S QDs were investigated systematically. The resultant QDs exhibit tunable bandgaps ranging from 2.9 to 3.7 eV, well-resolved Mn2+ d–d emission with a PL quantum yield (QY) of 56% and a surprisingly long excited state lifetime up to ∼4.2 ms, suggesting their excellent PL properties. Meanwhile, the initial high PL QY of the obtained Mn2+-doped Zn–In–S QDs in organic solvents could be preserved very well once they were transferred into aqueous media via ligand exchange. Furthermore, the as-synthesized QDs exhibit excellent thermal stability up to 200 °C in a crude solution.

Machine learning-assisted synthesis of new materials has been an ongoing hot topic. Luminescent Ag–Zn–In–S quaternary semiconductor quantum dot thin films have great application potential in many fields because of their excellent photoelectric performance. In this study, an environmentally friendly ionic liquid-assisted approach was employed to prepare high-performance Ag–Zn–In–S luminescent thin films, and machine learning methods were applied to screen the optimal preparation conditions. The photoluminescence (PL) performance, crystal structure, and morphology of the thin films were also been studied. The initial data set was obtained by high-throughput experiments. By comparing machine learning algorithms of Xgboost, Random Forest, Bagging, SVM, Extra Tree, and Gradient Boosting, the Random Forest achieved the best accuracy (r = 0.84, R 2 = 0.847) and was selected to predict the optimal preparation conditions of Ag–Zn–In–S quaternary quantum dot thin films. The machine learning predicted results are in great agreement with the subsequent experimental results, which verifies the accuracy and effectiveness of the machine learning model. This study offers a theoretical foundation for preparing optimal inorganic quantum dot luminescent materials using machine learning.

The accumulation of antibiotics in the environment has caused worldwide concern and photocatalytic processes have shown attractive prospects for the elimination of antibiotics due to its sustainability, cleanliness and efficiency. In this study, a series of self-assembled hollow tubular Zn–In–S photocatalysts (Zn-doped In 2 S 3 , ZnIn 2 S 4 , and ZnS/ZnIn 2 S 4 ) were first designed by one-step sulfidation of Zn/In-MOFs. The as-synthesized microtubular structured Zn–In–S exhibited high surface area(107.61–127.26 m 2 /g), high porosity(0.25–0.52 cm 3 g −1 ) and high degradation rate(≥86%) towards tetracycline within 120 min. Moreover, the photoelectric properties and photocatalytic performance were dependent on the existence of Zn species. Particularly, the optimized hollow microtubular ZnS/ZnIn 2 S 4 composites exhibited ultrahigh photocatalytic degradation rate (>90%) within 1 h solar light irradiation. The kinetic constant reached 0.0379 min −1 , which was 2.96, 2.02, and 5.65 times higher than In 2 S 3 , ZnIn 2 S 4 , and ZnS respectively. The ultrahigh photocatalytic degradation efficiency originated from the formation of direct Z scheme heterojunction between ZnIn 2 S 4 and ZnS. The unique heterojunction enabled the effective separation of electron-hole pairs and the production of highly reactive oxidants (•OH, •O 2 − , h + ). Density functional theory(DFT) demonstrated a higher charge density near the Fermi level and higher affinity towards O 2 molecules, which contributed to the efficient interfacial charge mobility and O 2 activation. The work provides guidance for the modulation of ternary catalysts to maximize the virtues of photocatalytic activity .

Silver indium sulfide (AIS) quantum dots (QDs) with different Ag/In molar ratios were synthesized via a hot-injection method. Intense photoluminescence (PL) originating from the donor–acceptor pair recombination were observed for all the samples and the emission peak blue-shifted from 739 to 632 nm, being similar to the behavior of the absorption onset as the Ag/In ratios decreased. The highest PL quantum yield (QY) of the obtained ternary AIS QDs was ca. 62% with an optimum ratio of Ag/In = 1/4. Compared with AIS QDs, when Zn ions were introduced, the absorption spectra of the obtained quaternary Ag–Zn–In–S QDs were blue-shifted, and their emission peaks moved to higher energies accordingly, showing a tunable emission from red to green by altering the band gap energy. In order to further study the electroluminescence (EL) as well as looking forward to the applications in the optoelectronic devices of the obtained highly luminescent nanoparticles, the colloidal AIS QDs were deposited as thin films to the sandwich-like structured QD-LED. The experimental results showed that the obtained EL device exhibited EL emission originated from QDs thin films by adjusting the turn on voltage, which is for the first time to realize EL of AIS QDs in such QD-LED.

We reported temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) studies on Cu–Zn–In–S quantum dot (QD) thin films. In this paper, cadmium-free and luminescent Cu–Zn–In–S quantum dot thin films were in situ formed by thermal decomposition of molecular-based precursors in the open air, without need of the complicated quantum dot synthesis. Molecular-based precursor solutions were prepared by dissolving Cu2O, ZnO, and In(OH)3 in the ethanol solution of butylamine and carbon disulfide. The effects of sintering temperature, sintering time, and the concentration of capping agents on the photoluminescence properties of Cu–Zn–In–S QD thin films have been systematically investigated. It was found that alkali metal ions play an important role in enhancing the PL quantum yield of quantum dot thin films. The as-prepared QD thin films show composition-tunable emission in the range of 535 nm to 677 nm, and the absolute PL quantum yields can reach as high as 22.1%. All of the as-deposited QD thin films show a single-exponential decay to temperature, indicating that these cadmium-free QD thin films have high potential as temperature probes.

We report the direct synthesis of highly luminescent Cu–Zn–In–S (CZIS) quaternary nanocrystals (NCs) in the non-coordinating solvent 1-octadecene (ODE) using chloride salts of Cu, In, and Zn as metal precursors in the presence of oleic acid and dodecanethiol. The resulting CZIS NCs had a narrow size distribution with an average diameter of 2.5 nm. The photoluminescence spectra can be tuned from 400 nm–850 nm by varying the Cu : Zn precursor ratio, and a relatively high photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY) of 46% was obtained without any post-processing. The PL decay times of the as-prepared CZIS NCs were tunable via controlling the Cu : Zn precursor ratio and reaction time. The photoluminescence mechanism of the CZIS nanocrystals was discussed using the PL decay curves. EDS analysis revealed that the resulting CZIS NCs were Cu-deficient, and the internal defect-related emission process could be strongly promoted by the large Cu deficiency which is associated with the improvement of PL QY.

In this work, a facile approach to synthesize the Ag- and Mn-codoped Zn-In-S nanocrystals (NCs) with dual emissions as ratiometric temperature sensors is reported. The as-synthesized codoped Zn-In-S NCs have a uniform size distribution and exhibit a zinc blende ZnS phase structure. Moreover, the as-produced codoped NCs show dual emission peaks which center at green and orange-red regions and have a photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY) up to 45%. The time-resolved PL spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterizations reveal that the dual emissions of these NCs are derived from the intrinsic emission of Ag + and Mn 2+ , respectively. Moreover, the relative intensity ratio of dual emissions can be tailored by adjusting the Ag and Mn doping concentrations. The as-built ratiometric temperature sensors based on the codoped NCs exhibit a thermometric sensitivity of ~ 0.17% K -1 over a broad window of 80–200 K, suggesting that these codoped Zn-In-S NCs are promisingly used for bio-optical ratiometric temperature sensing.

Dual emission quantum dots (QDs) have attracted considerable interest as a novel phosphor for constructing ratiometric optical thermometry because of its self-referencing capability. In this work, the exploration of codoped Zn–In–S QDs with dual emissions at ≈512 and ≈612 nm from intrinsic Cu and Mn dopants for ratiometric temperature sensing is reported. It is found that the dopant emissions can be tailored by adjusting the Mn-to-Cu concentration ratios, enabling the dual emissions in a tunable manner. The energy difference between the conduction band of the host and Cu dopant states is considered as the key for the occurrence of Mn ion emission. The as-constructed QD ratiometric temperature sensor exhibits a totally robust stability with a fluctuation of ≈ I Cu / I tot versus times lower than 1% and almost no hysteresis in cycles over a broad window of 100–320 K. This discovery represents that the present cadmium-free, intrinsic dual-emitting codoped QDs can open a new door for the synthesis of novel QDs with stable dual emissions, which poise them well for challenging applications in optical nanothermometry.

A BiOCl/ZIS heterojunction was constructed by ultrasound-assisted assembly. • Interfacial coupling induced directional redistribution of photocarriers. • 3-BZ efficiently degraded concentrated RhB, CR, and TC under visible light. • 3-BZ achieved efficient photocatalytic H₂O₂ production under visible light. • In situ XPS and DFT supported type-II electron transfer from ZIS to BiOCl. An ultrasound-assisted assembly route was used to construct a BiOCl/Zn₃In₂S₆ (ZIS) heterojunction for visible-light-driven pollutant degradation and H₂O₂ production. After 120 min of irradiation, the optimized composite degraded 99.59% of Rhodamine B (RhB, 600 mg/L), 99.82% of Congo red (CR, 200 mg/L), and 83.50% of Tetracycline (TC, 80 mg/L). In a separate O₂-saturated medium containing 10 vol% isopropanol, the H₂O₂ yield reached 5644 μmol g⁻¹ over the same period. In situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that Bi 4 f, Cl 2p, and O 1 s shifted toward lower binding energies, whereas the ZIS-associated core levels shifted toward higher binding energies. These opposite changes indicate photoelectron enrichment in BiOCl and electron depletion in ZIS. Density functional theory calculations revealed a larger work function for BiOCl (6.72 eV) than for ZIS (5.33 eV), while the differential charge density confirmed interfacial electron redistribution. Together with the density-of-states and experimental band-edge results, these findings support a type-II pathway in which electrons migrate from the ZIS conduction band (CB) to the BiOCl CB, while holes transfer from the BiOCl valence band (VB) to the ZIS VB. The resulting carrier separation favors O₂ reduction toward H₂O₂ formation and promotes oxidative pollutant degradation. Download: Download high-res image (225KB) Download: Download full-size image

Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated sterilization typically relies on continuous light irradiation or exogenous H 2 O 2 addition, limiting their practical utility under dark or resource-limited conditions. Herein, we rationally design an S-scheme MIL-100(Fe)/Zn 3 In 2 S 6 heterojunction (M 5 Z 1 –1@ZIS2) by in-situ growing Zn-doped MIL-100(Fe) on Zn 3 In 2 S 6 , achieving synergistic light-harvesting and ROS self-supply capabilities. The incorporation of Zn 3 In 2 S 6 enhances electron density around Fe 2+ sites while modulating Fe 3+ states, significantly improving O₂ activation and H 2 O 2 affinity. This unique electronic regulation enables the heterojunction to generate superoxide radical(·O₂ − )-dominated ROS even in the dark. Notably, visible-light pretreatment induces active In sites in Zn 3 In 2 S 6 to produce H 2 O 2 , which accumulates and sustains the FeII/FeIII redox cycle in the absence of light, driving continuous hydroxyl radical(·OH)-dominated ROS generation. Combined characterizations including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) confirm H₂O₂-mediated Fe 2+ regeneration and ROS persistence. The M 5 Z 1 –1@ZIS2 heterojunction exhibits exceptional antibacterial performance, achieving ≥99.9% inactivation of Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) within 1.5 h in the dark and 40 min under visible light. This work provides a strategy for designing self-sustaining catalytic systems that leverage light-driven H₂O₂ supply to enable day-night ROS functionality. Furthermore, M 5 Z 1 –1@ZIS2 loaded on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film can achieve an efficiency of over 99% for particulate matter (PM) pollutants at the wind speeds of 1.5 m/s and 0.5 m/s and reach a maximum adsorption efficiency of 99.5% for formaldehyde within 19 min, highlighting its potential for all-weather air purification via ROS-mediated environmental remediation.
