In this study, self-assembly flower-like TiO2 (F-TiO2) particles with an average diameter of 400 nm are synthesized via a facile one-pot solvothermal method. P(VDF-HFP)-based composites with F-TiO2 particles of different volume ratio as fillers are prepared. Microstructure and thermal analyses confirm that F-TiO2 does not change the crystallization process of the polymer matrix, but disrupts the crystallization degree of P(VDF-HFP). Dielectric properties measured at various frequencies and temperatures indicate that the addition of the F-TiO2 fillers enhances the dielectric constant of the composites, while the dielectric loss and electric conductivity do not significantly increase. The dielectric permittivity of the polymer nanocomposites is enhanced by 200% over that of the P(VDF-HFP) matrix at a filler content of 20 vol% while maintaining a rather low dielectric loss (0.043 at 1 kHz). Especially, the F-TiO2/P(VDF-HFP) composites exhibit low electric conductivity (≤10−11 S cm−1) at low frequencies. All the improved performances suggest an easy method to fabricate nanocomposites having potential electrical applications.

Extensive research has focused on the lithium (Li) metal anode, but progress in developing this technology has been hindered by the formation of lithium dendrites and their irreversible effects. In this study, an inorganic LiF-Li 3 N-rich solid electrolyte interface (SEI) is established in ether electrolyte through the direct use of 2,3-difluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (DP) to enable uniform Li deposition and enhance interfacial properties for a stable Li metal anode. Theoretical calculations show that DP has a higher tendency to decompose on lithium metal. An alternative approach involving the inclusion of additional anions into the solvation sheath of Li + ions using weakly solvating solvents is proposed. During Li plating, DP is reduced to form a LiF and Li 3 N-rich SEI, resulting in a heterogeneous SEI layer on the Li metal anode surface. This approach allows stable cycling of Li|Li cells for over 1800 h at current densities of 5 mA cm −2 and 15 mAh cm −2 . The method presented here has potential significance in the identification of suitable electrolytes for future research on lithium metal anodes.

Exploring Earth-abundant and efficient electrocatalysts to replace Ir and Ru for the acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential to reduce the cost of clean hydrogen production. Here, we show that trace amounts of electronegative non-metallic element fluorine (F)-doped Co3O4 nanoneedles improve the activity and stability of Co3O4. The F-doped Co3O4 nanoneedles supported on carbon paper (F-Co3O4/CP) exhibit an overpotential of 350 mV at 10 mA cm−2 for the acidic OER. In addition, their performance remains consistent after continuous operation for 80 h. Detailed investigations reveal that introducing an anion promotes the enrichment of OH on the surface of Co3O4 and prevents acid corrosion, thereby enhancing the intrinsic OER activity and stability. Theoretical calculations further indicate that F doping can effectively improve electron transfer and optimize the energy barrier for the formation of *OOH intermediates, which significantly improves OER performance. This study provides guidance for designing efficient and stable non-noble metal acidic water oxidation catalysts.

Rational design of heteroatom-doped catalysts with prominent reaction kinetics holds immense potential for enhancing biomass electrooxidation processes. Here, we introduce a F-doped NiO nanosheet architecture enriched with F-Ni δ+ -O coordination motifs as an advanced electrocatalyst for the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). XPS depth profiling and differential charge density calculations reveal that the distinctive F-Ni δ+ -O configuration induces asymmetric charge redistribution at Ni sites, effectively reducing the activation energy for Ni 3+ OOH species and their subsequent interaction with HMF. Meanwhile, pH-dependent and in-situ Raman measurements demonstrate that F sites function as proton relays, facilitating proton transfer and enabling efficient proton-coupled electron transfer kinetics. The synergistic electronic and proton effects endow excellent catalytic performance, with an oxidation current density of 66.45 mA cm −2 and a reaction rate of 5.23 × 10 −4 s −1 , far higher than that of the original NiO. Notably, the catalyst retains over 95 % Faradaic efficiency and yield of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) after twenty consecutive cycles. This work establishes a dual regulation strategy via heteroatom doping to simultaneously modulate electronic configuration and proton transfer dynamics, offering novel insights into the design of high-performance electrocatalysts for biomass valorization.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a synthetic persistent and bio-accumulative chemical, has raised global concerns. PFOA oxidation by advanced oxidation technology (AOPs) begins with decarboxylation, followed by CF 2 groups unzipping cycle and C–F cleavage. Since reactive radicals (even •OH) cannot initiate decarboxylation and abundant low-toxicity organics hinders decarboxylation, presents significant challenges for defluorination. We designed a functionalized high-index (201) TiO 2 photoanode (S-TiO 2,201 ) capable of molecular recognition and activation, which switches PFOA adsorption from carboxyl groups to preferential adsorption via the perfluoroalkyl backbone. This adsorption configuration selectively recognizes PFOA and accelerates decarboxylation via direct hole oxidation. In situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) confirmed faster decarboxylation and •OH quantification showed hole utilization efficiency rising from 9.6 % to 39.3 % after functionalization. PFOA was selectively removed from 200 μg/L to 1.2 μg/L with 1000-fold humic acid interference. This work presents a strategy for efficient and selective PFOA removal by precisely modulating its adsorption configuration.

Synthesis of moderate–sized uniform spherical covalent organic frameworks (COFs) within 10–50 μm is crucial for their applications in separation fields, while the spherical 2D COFs with such particle sizes has not been reported till now. Herein, a type of moderate–sized spherical 2D COF (TFB–BD COF) with uniform size within 10–50 μm was size–controllably synthesized via an ‘emulsion polymerization–crystallization’ strategy. The obtained TFB–BD COF showed monodisperse full–spherical morphology, good crystal structure and uniform controllable particle sizes. Moreover, another spherical 2D COF (TAPT–PDA COF) with particle size of 15 μm was also synthesized through a similar method for investigating the application potential of the spherical 2D COFs. As an application case, the spherical TAPT–PDA COF was used as the adsorbent for the disperse solid–phase extraction (d–SPE) of bisphenol F (BPF). The adsorbent showed good adsorption selectivity, high adsorption capacity, fast binding kinetics, good reusability (at least four cycles) and high enrichment factor (60 folds). By combining this d–SPE technique with high–performance liquid chromatography, a new analytical method was established for determination of trace BPF in water samples and an orange juice with recoveries of 94.8–101.6% and LOD of 0.56 ng/mL. The synthesis strategy proposed in this work opens a way for size–controllably synthesizing moderate–sized spherical 2D COFs, and the developed analytical method provides a viable path for detecting trace BPF in water samples and beverages.

Graphitic carbon nitride (CN), a promising photocatalyst for CO2 reduction, suffers from inefficient light harvesting and sluggish charge separation dynamics, which severely restricts its application. Ionic liquids (ILs) have been used for the assisted preparation of photocatalysts, thus effectively altering their geometric and electronic properties. Herein, the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim]PF6) IL was introduced as a modifier to successfully construct a P- and F-co-doped porous CN catalyst via simple calcination of the IL and urea without any organic solvents and templates. The optimized catalyst exhibited an enhanced photocatalytic activity for CO2 reduction via gas–solid mode under visible light irradiation, achieving CO and CH4 evolution rates of 39.9 and 2.63 μmol g−1 h−1 (CO selectivity of 94%), which were 7.8 and 4.8 times higher than those of pristine CN, respectively. PFCN also demonstrated excellent reusability and stability. Comprehensive characterization revealed that the strategy of doping of P and F atoms significantly enlarged the surface area, improved CO2 adsorption, broadened visible-light harvesting, and accelerated charge transfer and separation efficiency. This work highlights the potential of ILs as multifunctional agents for designing high-performance doped CN photocatalysts.

Semiconductor wastewater containing pollutants such as fluoride ions (F − ), per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and heavy metals has become an increasingly severe issue. Coagulation is a conventional technique for treating semiconductor wastewater. However, existing coagulants face challenges in efficiently removing PFAS, along with issues such as high metal residues, poor settleability and low floc strength. Inspired by the insect-trapping mechanism of Drosera , we synthesized two silane-modified metal-based coagulants, with significantly enhanced performance. Among them, the Drosera -inspired zirconium-based coagulant (DZHC) outperformed the Drosera -inspired aluminum-based coagulant (DAHC) in terms of F − and PFAS removal efficiency, metal residue, settleability, floc size, Zeta potential and floc strength. Mechanistic analyses revealed that F − removal by DZHC occurs via ligand exchange between Zr-OH and F − , whereas DAHC requires initial Al F complexation followed by hydrolysis-polymerization to form coprecipitates. Additional mechanisms including electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding and polycondensation also contribute to defluoridation. The removal of copper citrate primarily relies on ligand exchange between metal hydroxyl groups and [Cu-citrate] − , assisted by electrostatic attraction from quaternary ammonium groups. Molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that hydrophobic interactions from C18 chains on the coagulants dominate PFAS removal. In summary, this study provides a novel strategy for simplifying semiconductor wastewater treatment.

Two new chromogenic sensors 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)thiourea 1 and 1-(3-hydroxypyridin-2-yl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)thiourea 2 bearing nitrophenyl and thiourea groups were designed and synthesized by one-step procedure and characterized through 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FTIR, and MS. The anion recognition property of the receptors was studied via naked-eye detection, UV–vis, and 1H NMR. Based on the existence of amino gen and hydroxyl moieties in receptors, receptors 1 and 2 exhibit obvious selectivity by the redshift of UV–vis signals, colour changes through naked-eye detection, and binding effects for F–, H2PO4–, and Ac–. Surprisingly, the detection limits of receptor 1 for F– and Ac– were calculated to be 5.45 × 10−7 and 2.11 × 10−7 (mol/L)−1, respectively, which indicated that F– and Ac– can be identified with high sensitivity by receptor 1. Besides, simple “test strips” were developed and were used as sensors for recognition of F–, H2PO4–, or Ac– in DMSO solution. Lastly, the mechanisms of the recognition process were studied through DFT calculation and 1H NMR titration.

The discovery of light converter excited by near-ultraviolet (UV) superior broadband blue-emitting lighting source is a main challenge in plant growth LEDs. In this study, SrLu 2 O 4 :Ce 3+ , Li + , F − blue phosphor has been synthesized via a solid-state reaction. Benefitting from doping of F − ions, SrLu 2 O 4 :Ce 3+ , Li + , F − phosphor (λ ex = 405 nm, λ em = 460 nm) shows a strong broadband (FWHM = 90 nm) blue-emitting with lower critical concentration of Ce 3+ ions and an increasing 6.9% thermal quenching performance (92.1% @ 423 K of the peak intensity at room temperature). Moreover, a blue light converter composed of SrLu 2 O 4 :Ce 3+ , Li + , F − phosphor and glass matrix is obtained based on phosphor-in-glass (PiG) technology, exhibiting excellent thermal stability and outstanding moisture resistance . A red light converter with commercial red phosphor is obtained by the same method. Furthermore, by combining of two light converters with near-UV chip, a proof-of-concept plant growth high power LED is achieved and applied in indoor Italian lettuce growing in comparison with commercial plant lamps.

Expanding the family of f-element bearing molybdate iodates via hydrothermal reactions has yielded ten new rare-earth molybdate iodates with two distinct phases, Ln(MoO2)(IO3)4(OH) (LnMoIO-1, Ln = Ce and Pr) and Ln(Mo2O7)(IO3)(H2O)2 (LnMoIO-2, Ln = Gd–Yb, and Y), as well as the first thorium molybdate iodate, ThF(MO4)(IO3) (ThFMoIO). All three structures exhibit three dimensional frameworks and are exclusively built from lanthanide/actinide polyhedra bridged by molybdates and iodates. Furthermore, the coordination versatility of molybdates (octahedral, square pyramidal, and tetrahedral geometries) results in a diversity of structures. The effect of the lanthanide contraction on the compositions and structures is clearly observed, showing the increase in hydration from the early to late lanthanide analogues and the decrease in unit cell dimensions and the average Ln–O bonding distances across the same structure type. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal that LnMoIO-1 (Ln = Ce and Pr) crystalize in a noncentrosymmetric space group P21 and the second-harmonic generation (SHG) measurement shows a response of 5 × KDP for PrMoIO-1. In addition, CeMoIO-1 crystallizes as orange coloured tablets which are semiconducting in nature with a band gap of 2.41 eV.

To further advance research on rare earth complexes as Luminescent probes, this work investigates the cation and anion recognition capabilities of europium and terbium carboxylate complexes, Eu(ocpia) ( 1 ) and Tb(ocpia) ( 2 ), in dispersed systems. Cation recognition experiments were performed using DMF as the dispersion medium, with the complex concentration fixed at 0.2 mg/mL. Results demonstrate that both complexes 1 and 2 exhibit excellent selectivity for Fe³⁺, with detection limits as low as 0.076 μM and 0.069 μM, respectively. These findings indicate that complexes 1 and 2 hold great potential as fluorescent probes for Fe³⁺ detection. Anion recognition experiments were conducted in acetonitrile dispersion (0.2 mg/mL complex concentration). Complex 1 shows high selectivity for I⁻, achieving a detection limit of 0.052 μM. In contrast, complex 2 displays strong affinity for F⁻, with a detection limit of 0.087 μM. Notably, F⁻ can coordinate with complex 2 to form a soluble adduct, enabling visual, naked-eye recognition of F⁻. Collectively, these results highlight the promising application of complexes 1 and 2 as selective fluorescent probes for I⁻ and F⁻, respectively.
