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.

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.

The use of Faraday isolators in high-power lasers is currently a high-priority research topic and terbium gallium garnet (Tb 3 Ga 5 O 12 , TGG) transparent ceramic is a magneto-optical material with great potential for applications in the visible and near-infrared ranges. In this paper, the effect of chemical composition adjustment on the microstructure and properties of Tb 3 Ga 5(1+x) O 12 ceramics (where x is the non-stoichiometric index corresponding to the percentage difference in the amount of Ga used in the synthesis with respect to its content in the stoichiometric compound) was investigated. Powders obtained from starting materials of different stoichiometry were found to have similar morphology. However, the relative densities of the ceramics after pre-sintering in air increase with increasing Ga content. After the HIP post-treatment, the optimal properties with an in-line transmittance of 78.5 % (1.5 mm thick) at 1064 nm, and the Verdet constant of the ceramics with x = 0.8 % reaches −134.1 rad T −1 m −1 at 633 nm.

Ga doping constructs novel LaGaO x /Cu interfacial structure. • LaGaO x /Cu interfaces stabilize Cu + species by electronic metal-support interaction (EMSI) for methanol synthesis. • Ga incorporation promotes adsorption of H 2 , CO 2 and CO. • LOC/Cu:5Ga delivers a methanol space-time yield of 306.7 g kg cat −1 h −1 . • Ga-induced interfaces shift the reaction from a single to a dual-path mechanism. Developing efficient copper-based catalysts for CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol remains a key challenge in catalytic CO 2 utilization. Irreducible rare-earth oxides offer outstanding thermal stability and structural robustness, yet their limited activity and selectivity restrict methanol productivity. Herein, we propose a promoter-induced interfacial engineering strategy to activate La 2 O 2 CO 3 (LOC)-supported Cu catalysts by incorporating Ga as a heteroatom promoter. A series of Ga-doped LOC/Cu catalysts (denoted as Cu:xGa) were synthesized via a two-step co-precipitation method, exhibiting a pronounced dependence of catalytic performance on Ga loading. The optimized Cu:5Ga catalyst achieved a CO 2 conversion of 9.2% and a methanol space-time yield of 306.7 g kg cat −1 h −1 (3 MPa, 260 °C), corresponding to a 9.8-fold enhancement relative to undoped Cu. Comprehensive structural and spectroscopic characterizations reveal that Ga doping induces the formation of highly dispersed LaGaO x /Cu interfacial sites. The enhanced electronic metal-support interaction (EMSI) at these interfaces optimizes the electronic structure of Cu sites, facilitating reactant activation and further boosting methanol synthesis. These interfaces stabilize interfacial Cu + species, facilitating the dissociation and adsorption of reactants, and fundamentally modify the reaction pathway from a single formate route to a dual mechanism involving both the formate pathway and the RWGS–CO hydrogenation pathway. This work demonstrates an effective strategy to activate irreducible rare-earth oxide–supported Cu catalysts and provides mechanistic guidance for the rational design of efficient and stable catalysts for CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol. Efficient synthesis of methanol via a promoter (Ga)-induced interfacial engineering strategy to activate La 2 O 2 CO 3 (LOC)-supported Cu catalysts, corresponding to a 9.8-fold enhancement relative to undoped LOC/Cu catalyst.

In this paper, gallium-doped indium oxide (In2O3) compounds with different doping amounts were fabricated through the hydrothermal method and the Spark Plasma Sintering process. X-ray diffraction showed that Ga was efficiently doped into the In2O3 lattice. The electrical conductivity is significantly improved by Ga doping, which is due to the reduced potential barrier of the carriers for the transition to the conduction band. The carrier concentration of Ga-doped In2O3 reaches 1.11 × 1020 cm–3, which is 12 times that of pristine In2O3, and the electrical conductivity (6.79 × 104 S m–1) is 5 times that of pristine In2O3. Furthermore, the lattice distortion in the doped sample acts as strong phonon scattering centers, which effectively reduce the mean free path of the phonons, resulting in a significant decrease in the lattice thermal conductivity. Finally, at 873 K, the zT value of In1.88Ga0.12O3 reaches 0.22, which shows a 100% increase compared with that of the pure In2O3 sample. Our results show that the control of metal doping and microstructure can achieve synergistic optimization of the electrical properties and thermal conductivity of In2O3, providing a reference for other thermoelectric materials.

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.

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.

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.

Conductive hydrogels incorporating liquid metals, particularly gallium (Ga) droplets, have garnered significant attention owing to the multifaceted functionalities they offer. In this study, we introduce a liquid-metal-based conductive hydrogel synthesized through radical polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) in the presence of Ga droplets stabilized by polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers and xanthan gum (XG) at room temperature. The incorporation of PANI not only enhances the stability of Ga-droplet dispersion but also improves the hydrogel’s mechanical properties, including tensile strength, toughness, and sensitivity as a sensor material. With the addition of 0.5 wt % PANI, the hydrogel displays an elongation at break of 964% and a tensile strength of 265 kPa, while exhibiting a sensor gauge factor (GF) of 13.4 within a strain range of 400–600%. The reversible noncovalent cross-links within the hydrogel confer excellent self-healing properties, achieving 98% self-healing efficiency in elongation at break within 6 h and 90% conductivity self-healing within 83 ms. Additionally, the hydrogel’s abundant functional groups enable strong adhesion to various substrates. As a sensing material, the hydrogel demonstrates rapid response and recovery times (250/250 ms), low detection limits (0.1%), and good durability (500 cycles under 10 and 100% strains). The cross-linked network composed of XG, PANI, and PAA imparts the hydrogel with water retention. Moreover, glycerol treatment reinforces the hydrogel’s mechanical strength and sensing abilities, extending their effectiveness even under extreme temperature conditions. As a result, the XG-PANI-Ga-PAA hydrogel-based strain sensor has emerged as a promising tool for monitoring human health and detecting a wide range of human activities with reliability and precision.

The utilization of green hydrogen sources in H 2 O for alkynols electrocatalytic semihydrogenation reaction (ESHR) at ambient temperature provides a promising pathway toward the sustainable conversion of alkynols. However, it is still a great challenge to construct specific interfacial structure to adjust the electronic structure of Pd for the purpose of altering the strong adsorption of Pd with active hydrogen to enhance the production of alkenols. Here, the atomically dispersed GaO x -PdMo bimetallene nanoribbons (GaO x -PdMo BNRs) via oxygen bridging Ga atoms is designed to the surface of PdMo BNRs for 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY) ESHR to the synthesis of 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBE). The GaO x -PdMo BNRs achieve the excellent MBE selectivity (≈97.4%), Faraday efficiency (≈96.1%), and maintain long-term stability. Density functional theory demonstrates that the top electron-enriched Ga atoms and the bottom electron-deficient Pd atoms construct a “pyramidal” interface via the oxygen bridge. The unique surface can effectively activate H 2 O and weaken interaction between catalyst and MBE, thus promoting MBE generation. Moreover, the electron bridge effect between Ga-O-PdMo can induce p-d orbital hybridization to achieve lower the d -band center of surface Pd thus modulating the reactants adsorption. This work provides a strategy to improve ESHR performance by electron bridge effect to modulate interfacial electron distribution.

Hybrid capacitive deionization (HCDI), an emerging desalination technique, is employed for the first time to remove the salt ions in the polypeptide solution, with the novel graphene aerogel (GA)/MoS 2 material as the cathode and the GA material as the anode. Structural characterization and performance tests demonstrate that the dispersed nanosheet structure of MoS 2 and the conductive 3D cross-network structure of GA synergistically stimulate more accessible redox active sites in GA/MoS 2 composite for ion storage. Specifically, the specific capacitance of the GA/MoS 2 composite electrode (143F·g −1 ) is twice that of the single MoS 2 electrode (72F·g −1 ). Also, the GA/MoS 2 electrode possesses exceptional ion removal capacity (32.71 mg·g −1 ) and high mean salt adsorption rate (0.85 mg·g −1 ·min −1 ). The ion removal mechanism and ion selectivity of the Cell GA(+)‖GA/MoS 2 (−) are investigated based on the electrode pairing mode, valence state and radius of ions, and Lewis acid-base theory. More importantly, the application of the Cell GA(+)‖GA/MoS 2 (−) in the polypeptide purification was confirmed by removing salt ions from the Ricinus communis biomarkers (RCB-2) polypeptide solution. The results display that the salt ions (92.1 %) were rapidly removed and the absolute recovery of the RCB-2 sample (62.4 %) was effectively obtained by mass spectrometry analysis. Therefore, this work provides a forward-looking strategy for the fast removal of salt ions from the polypeptide solution.

Silver-based I–III–VI-type semiconductor nanocrystals have received extensive attention due to their narrow-band luminescence properties. Herein, we demonstrated a seed-mediated growth of quaternary Ag–In–Ga–S (AIGS) nanocrystals (NCs) with narrow-band luminescence. By conducting partial cation exchange with In3+ and Ga3+ based on Ag2S NCs and controlling the Ag/In feeding ratios (0.25 to 2) of Ag–In–S seeds as well as the inventory of 1-dodecanethiol, we achieved optimized luminescence performance in the synthesized AIGS NCs, characterized by a narrow full width at half maximum of less than 40 nm. Meanwhile, narrow-band luminescent AIGS NCs exhibit a tetragonal AgGaS2 crystal structure and a gradient alloy structure, rather than a core–shell structure. Most importantly, the kinetics decay curves of time-resolved photoluminescence and the ground state bleaching in transient absorption generally agree with each other regarding the lifetime of the second decay component, which indicates that the narrow-band luminescence is due to the slow radiative recombination between trapped electrons and trapped holes located at the edge of the conduction band and the deep silver-related trap states (e.g., silver vacancy), respectively. This study provides new insights into the correlation between the narrow-band luminescence properties and the structural characteristics of AIGS NCs.
