Propane dehydrogenation is one of the most admired technologies for propylene production. However, the development of an active and stable catalyst presents a significant challenge. In this study, Pt–Ga/SBA-15 catalysts were prepared via coimpregnation, followed by H2 reduction, and applied in propane dehydrogenation. The Pt–Ga/SBA-15 catalyst with a Ga/Pt molar ratio of 1 exhibited a high propane conversion of up to 60% and high selectivity toward propylene of 98.2% at 550 °C for 10 min, with a propane conversion of 51.6% and propylene selectivity of 99.5% after reaction for 25 h. The physicochemical properties characterized using N2 physisorption, XRD, TEM, XPS, CO chemisorption, and in situ CO–DRIFT spectroscopy reveal that the Pt–Ga alloy nanoparticles were formed on the SBA-15 support after direct reduction with H2. The study of coke formation via temperature-programmed oxidation showed that a large amount of coke was deposited over the support of spent Pt–Ga/SBA-15 catalyst, indicating coke mobility from the active sites to the supports and its contribution to catalyst stability. The activities of spent catalysts could be almost completely recovered via reduction regeneration, during which Pt–Ga alloy retains the original geometrical and electronic structure well. The dilution of Pt ensembles due to the addition of Ga, e.g., Pt–Ga alloy formation, plays an important role in enhancing the catalytic performance for propane dehydrogenation.

Solar thermochemical CO2 splitting to produce fuels is an effective route to reduce carbon emission. However, it is still a daunting challenge to achieve a high CO yield and good cycle stability simultaneously at a low reaction temperature. Here, Ca- and Ga-doped LaMnO3 is introduced for solar thermochemical CO2 splitting with an ultrahigh CO yield and excellent cycle stability at a moderate operation temperature. The average CO production reaches 513 μmol/g for La0.6Ca0.4Mn0.8Ga0.2O3 when operating between 1350 and 1050 °C. Such a high value sets a record among directly measured thermochemical CO production in the literature with the temperature swing limited within 300 °C. No obvious performance deterioration over eight cycles is observed due to stable structures. The high CO production of La0.6Ca0.4Mn0.8Ga0.2O3 can be attributed to the transition of the surface reaction to internal bulk diffusion induced by Ca doping and enhanced non-stoichiometry due to Ga doping. This work provides a promising alternative for solar thermochemical CO2 splitting with high fuel yield and cycle stability.

Copper indium gallium selenide Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 (CIGS) solar cells fabricated by vacuum thermal evaporation, magnetron sputtering, or organic solvent solution-process either lead to high manufacturing cost and film nonuniformity or cause explosion, toxication and pollution. To address these issues, herein, water as a solvent to prepare the CIGS precursor solution is used and 7.04% efficient CIGS solar cells without MgF 2 antireflection layer is obtained. Furthermore, for the first time, K doping on CIGS films via adding “K + ” into the aqueous precursor solution is conducted. K–In–Se species is formed in the process of selenization and acts as a Se reservoir during CIGS grain growth, resulting in improved quality of the CIGS film with much larger grains. K doping can also inhibit the loss of Ga element. The high-bandgap K–In–Se phase and higher Ga content combine to result in the increase in the CIGS bandgap. As a result, the K-doped CIGS solar cell achieves a 33.1% enhancement in efficiency to 9.37%, with the significant increase in the open-circuit voltage from 520.5 to 597.1 mV and fill factor from 50.77 to 55.36%. These results provide an important preliminary foundation for the development of aqueous precursor solution-based CIGS solar cells.

The garnet-type Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO) has garnered significant attention due to its superior thermal stability and broad electrochemical window. However, LLZO exhibits instability at room temperature and readily transforms from a cubic phase ( c -LLZO) to a tetragonal phase ( t -LLZO), resulting in issues such as low ionic conductivity. Herein, the effect of Ga doping on LLZO is investigated. Combined with SEM, activation energy, ionic conductivity and XRD refinement, the results demonstrate that Li 7-3x Ga x La 3 Zr 2 O 12 exhibits better properties when x = 0.25. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) showed that Ga0.25-LLZO was favorable for promoting Li + transport. Moreover, Li| [email protected] |Li symmetric cells exhibit lower interfacial specific impedance (IASR) and higher critical current density (CCD) than both Li|Ag@Ga0-LLZO|Li and Li| [email protected] |Li and was stabilized at 0.15 mA/cm 2 for 1300 h of stable cycling. In addition, the all-solid-state battery Li| [email protected] |LFP was cycled at 0.2C for 100 cycles with 82 % capacity retention, demonstrating its promising application in lithium batteries.

In this work, a gallium–nickel alloy target with a weight percentage ratio of 7:3 was successfully prepared on Cu substrate in a chloride system at room temperature. A novel organic-solvent-free separation procedure based on two columns for extracting 68 Ge from irradiated Ga–Ni alloy target with high radionuclidic purity (99.99 %) was developed. By this separation procedure, the recovery of 68 Ge is 95 ± 5 % and the yield of 68 Ge via the nuclear reaction nat Ga(p, x n) 68 Ge was measured to be 0.27 ± 0.02 MBq/μA h.

A series of gallium-containing MFI (Ga-MFI) zeolites with varying Ga2O3/Al2O3ratios were synthesized using hydrothermal synthesis and tested as catalyst in catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) of beech wood for aromatic production. The results show that the incorporation of Ga slightly reduced the effective pore size of Ga-MFI zeolites compared to conventional HZSM-5 zeolites. Therefore, the Ga-MFI zeolites increased the aromatic selectivity for smaller aromatics such as benzene, toluene, andp-xylene and decreased the aromatic selectivity for bulkier ones such asm-xylene,o-xylene, and polyaromatics in CFP of beech wood relative to HSZM-5. In particular, the yield and selectivity ofp-xylene, the most desired product from CFP of biomass, increased considerably from 1.64 C% and 33.3% for conventional HZSM-5 to 2.98–3.34 C% and 72.1–79.6% for the synthesized Ga-MFI zeolites. These results suggest that slightly reducing the pore size of MFI zeolite by Ga incorporation has a beneficial effect on optimizing the aromatic selectivity toward more valuable monoaromatic products, especiallyp-xylene, during CFP of biomass.Keywords:aromatics;biomass;MFI zeolites;gallium;catalytic fast pyrolysis

The issues of rough surface morphology and the incorporated additives of the electro-deposited Cu layers, which exists in electrodeposition-based processes, is one of the major obstacles to improve the efficiency of Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 (CIGSe) and Cu 2 ZnSnSe 4 (CZTSe) solar cells. In this study, the pulse current electro-deposition method is employed to deposit smooth Cu film on Mo substrate in CuSO 4 solution without any additives. Grain size of the deposited Cu film is decreased by high cathode polarization successfully. And the concentration polarization , which results from high pulse current density, is controlled successfully by adjusting the pulse frequency. Flat Cu film with smooth surface and compact structure is deposited as pulse current density @ 62.5 mA cm −2 , pulse frequency @100,000 Hz, and duty cycle @ 25%. CIGSe and CZTSe absorber films with flat surface and uniform elemental distribution are prepared by selenizing the stacking metal layers electro-deposited by pulse current method. Finally, the CIGSe and CZTSe solar cells with conversion efficiency of 10.39% and 7.83% respectively are fabricated based on the smooth Cu films, which are better than the solar cells fabricated by the rough Cu film deposited by direct current electro-deposition method.

The K 2 ZnV 2 O 7 material, as reported in our previous work, undergoes a phase transition from melilite-related structure to typical melilite structure upon Ga doping on the Zn site, with interstitial oxygen introduced and accompanied by an approximately two orders of magnitude ionic conductivity improvement (≈1.01 × 10 −1 S cm −1 at 600 °C for K 2 Zn 0.7 Ga 0.3 V 2 O 7.15 ). Herein, in order to further enhance the oxide-ion conduction by introducing more interstitial oxygen into the structure, a series of Ga and Mo codoped K 2 Zn 1- x Ga x V 2- y Mo y O 7+0.5 x +0.5 y (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2, y = 0.1 and 0.2) materials are designed and synthesized via the traditional solid-state reaction method, with their phases and electrical properties being systematically studied. The results reveal that the Ga and Mo codoped materials retain the melilite-related structure and show a much lower conductivity, e.g., only ≈1.49 × 10 −2 S cm −1 at 600 °C for the composition of K 2 Zn 0.8 Ga 0.2 V 1.8 Mo 0.2 O 7.2 , despite its higher interstitial oxygen concentration compared to the single Ga-doped K 2 ZnV 2 O 7 (e.g., K 2 Zn 0.7 Ga 0.3 V 2 O 7.15 ). Therefore, the introduction of Mo into the structure appears to suppress the phase transition and decrease the mobility of interstitial oxygen for the K 2 ZnV 2 O 7 -based materials. These findings provide a more comprehensive perspective on the oxide-ion conduction optimization of melilite or melilite-related materials.

Silicon (Si) has become a promising anode for next-generation lithium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical specific capacity (4200 mA h g −1 ). However, large volume changes and fragility during cycling lithiation-delithiation have resulted in severe capacity degradation. To depress the drastically volumetric change of silicon and boost the cycling charge-discharge performance, we synthesized Ga@pSi@C composite anode by means of magnesiothermic reduction on aerogel silica, encapsulation with dopamine, infiltration with liquid metal gallium, and carbonization. On the one hand, gallium serves as a self-healing component as well as a good conductive material. On the other hand, the carbon shell acts as a mechanical constraint and support. Using this strategy, the synthesized Ga@pSi@C composite anode can effectively suppress the fragmentation of silicon particles during cycles. As a result, the initial discharging capacity of Ga@pSi@C anode delivers a capacity of 2113 mA h g −1 at the first cycle with initial Coulombic efficiency (CE) of 75.3 %, which can retain a capacity of 1262 mA h g −1 after 100 cycles. A reversible capacity of 834 mA h g −1 can be maintained after 300 cycles at a current density of 2000 mA g −1 . The infiltration-encapsulation strategy may provide new idea for improving the performance of anode materials besides porous silicon.

USY zeolites have been modified by incorporation of gallium, phosphorus and a combination of gallium and phosphorus by wetness impregnation method using gallium nitrate and ammounium phosphate diabasic, and the corresponding NiMo supported hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysts have been prepared for HDS of an inferior FCC diesel. The individual physical-chemical properties of the modified USY zeolites and the series NiMo supported catalysts were characterized using XRD, N 2 -adsorption-desorption(BET), NH 3 -TPD, Py-FTIR, H 2 -TPR, HRTEM and XPS methods, and their catalytic performances for an inferior FCC diesel HDS were assessed. The results show that both gallium and phosphorus modification can modulate the acid property of USY zeolite and weaken the interaction between the active metal and the supports, thus enhancing the degree of sulfidation and the dispersion of Mo species that are beneficial for the HDS of highly refractory organosulfur compounds. The highest HDS and HDN efficiencies of 99.7% and 99.6%, respectively, were observed over the catalyst containing the PGaUSY zeolite. More importantly, gallium modification of the USY zeolite promotes the hydrodesulfurization of all organosulfur compounds, and especially 4,6-DMDBT, in the FCC diesel and phosphorus modification of the USY zeolite promotes the hydrodesulfurization of most organosulfur compounds except for 4,6-DMDBT in the FCC diesel.

Blue-light-excitable red-emitting phosphors with high thermal stability are essential for fabricating white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). Herein, Ce 3+ -doped SrLaScO 4 (SLO:Ce 3+ ) phosphor is discovered to have an abnormal red emission band centered at 640 nm when excited at 440 nm. Spectroscopy and structural analyses confirm that Ce 3+ ions occupy the [LaO 8 ] polyhedrons competitively, generating a strong crystal field splitting and a large Stokes shift to produce a red emission. To further restrict the thermal quenching of SLO:Ce 3+ , charge-transfer engineering is implemented by incorporating a large electronegative Ga 3+ in the Sc 3+ site, which can attract more charges from nearby coordinating groups to decrease the electronic occupation at the bottom of the conduction band and thereby enlarge the band gap. Sc/Ga substitution in SrLa(Sc,Ga)O4:Ce 3+ enhances the thermal stability by increasing the intensity ratio from 15% to 31% at 150°C compared with 20°C. This is attributed to the efficient suppression of the thermally stimulated ionization process. This study presents a general design principle for discovering novel Ce 3+ -doped red phosphors with good thermal stability for WLED applications.

M 3+ controls phase evolution: Al/Ga form Cu-Co alloy; In 3+ leads to CuIn, CoIn 2 , In 2 O 3 separation. • Surface hydroxyls and bridged CO provide dual CHₓ sources for C 2+ OH formation. • Medium-strength basic sites and Cu + fraction, not total basicity, govern C 2+ OH selectivity. • Smaller M 3+ radius (Al 3+ ) strengthens metal-support interaction, enhancing dispersion and performance. The modulation of trivalent cations in layered double hydroxide (LDH)-derived catalysts provides an effective strategy for tuning the multifunctional active sites for higher alcohol synthesis. In this study, a series of layered CuCoM catalysts (M = Al, Ga, In) was synthesized via alkaline co-precipitation and evaluated for higher alcohols synthesis via CO hydrogenation. The results demonstrate that the introduction of M 3 + is essential for constructing the LDH precursor structure and significantly influences the phase evolution, morphology, textural properties, reducibility, surface basicity, and chemical states of the catalysts. Among the catalysts tested, CuCoAl exhibited the best overall performance, achieving a CO conversion of 35.60%, an ethanol selectivity of 39.97%, and a C 2 + alcohols selectivity of 73.47%. Structural characterization revealed that CuCoAl had the highest specific surface area and the most uniform dispersion of Cu and Co species, which favored the exposure of accessible active sites. CO 2 -TPD, XPS, and in situ DRIFTS results further indicated that CuCoAl contained abundant surface hydroxyl groups and a higher fraction of Cu + , which promoted the formation of formate species, facilitated non-dissociative CO insertion, and enhanced CH x generation through both formate hydrogenation and bridged CO dissociation on Co sites. The superior catalytic performance of CuCoAl is thus attributed to the synergistic effect of highly dispersed Cu-Co active sites, abundant surface hydroxyl groups, and optimized Cu + /Co interfacial functionalities. This study provides mechanistic insights into trivalent-cation regulation in LDH-derived CuCo catalysts and offers a rational strategy for the design of efficient catalysts for higher alcohol synthesis from syngas.
