A series of Mg catalysts supported on SiO 2 were prepared by an incipient wetness impregnation method and tested for gas phase dehydrochlorination of 1,1,2-trichloroethane. It was found that these catalysts were very active and selective for the reaction. The catalytic performance depended on the Mg loading rather than the Mg precursors as the catalysts using Mg(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O and MgCl 2 ·6H 2 O as the precursors showed the similar performance. A catalyst containing 10 wt.% of Mg showed the best performance with a steady state TCE conversion of 92% and cis -dichloroethene selectivity of 91%. Moreover, characterizations of the catalysts revealed the formation of Cl-containing Mg species on the surface during the reaction. The analyses of the compositions of the stable catalysts under working conditions indicated a Cl/Mg ratio of 1, suggesting that Mg(OH)Cl could be the active sites for the reaction.

Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) have unique advantages in energy storage, such as high energy density and low cost. However, most studies on organic DIBs use anions with a large ionic radius (PF 6 − , TFSI − , etc. ). Here, we propose a Li + /Cl − dual-ion battery (DIB) through using CoFe-Cl layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and non-aqueous LiCl electrolytes, with a mechanism involving anionic insertion into the LDHs cathode and lithium plating/stripping on the anode. Coupled X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques indicate reversible expansion/extraction of (0 0 3) crystal planes of LDHs and valence state changes of Co and Fe, enabling high Cl − storage capacities of 145 mAh/g and 137 mAh/g at 200 mA/g and 1 A/g, respectively. Furthermore, this DIB demonstrates an impressive power density of 1770 W/kg with an energy density of 240 Wh/kg. This work provides a reference for developing high performance DIBs and expands the electrochemical application field of LDHs.

As a family of semiconductor photocatalysts, Sillén-type bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX, X = Cl, Br, I) have attracted widespread interest due to their excellent photocatalytic activity and photoconductivity. However, most current strategies on synthesizing ultrathin 2D BiOX nanosheets (NSs) rely on high temperature and pressure and complex procedures, which seriously confine their large-scale applications. Herein, we develop a simple and facile two-phase method for the synthesis of ultrathin 2D BiOX NSs with highly exposed {001} facets. On the basis of systematically studying the effects of various reaction parameters on the size, thickness, morphology, and composition of the products, the growth mechanism of ultrathin 2D BiOX NSs is presented, which indicates that the suppression of Bi3+ hydrolysis is required for the growth of 2D BiOX NSs with highly exposed {001} facets. The acidic condition prefers the growth of BiOX NSs with ultrathin structure and high crystallinity along the [001] zone axis. By using BiOBr NSs as the example, the photocatalytic activities of ultrathin 2D BiOX NSs are evaluated upon photodegradation of organic compounds and photocatalytic water oxidation. The results show that the organic compound photodegradation is mainly determined by the specific surface area of BiOBr NSs, while the O2 evolution rate of BiOBr NSs for water oxidation is dependent on their photogenerated charge separation efficiency. Because of the larger specific surface area and higher photogenerated charge separation efficiency, BiOBr-acid-0.5 ultrathin 2D NSs exhibits the fastest organic compound photodegradation rate and O2 evolution rate of 445.6 μmol g–1 h–1.

The all-inorganic halide perovskite CsPbBr3 exhibited extraordinary photoelectric properties as well as great potential for various optic-electronic devices. The introduction of a Cl/I dopant is an effective method to optimize their properties. However, it is still a challenge to grow doped CsPbBr3 single crystals from solution. In this work, we report on the crystal growth of Cl/I-doped CsPbBr3 crystals using the modified inverse temperature crystallization (ITC) method. The components of raw materials and solvent in precursors were precisely tailored. The resulting doping ratio between the actual content and the nominal content are 0.99 and 0.046 for Cl and I, respectively. It indicates that I ion doped crystals exhibit more severe stoichiometric deviation due to the lower decomposition energy. The crystal structure, morphology, and optical properties of doped crystals were also investigated systematically. The {101} and {010} facets of as-grown crystals were influenced by the doping process. PL and UV transmittance spectra exhibited changes in the band gap in Cl/I-doped crystals. Finally, the phase diagram of basic photoelectric properties was determined for CsPb(Br1–nCln)3 crystals and it reveals conductive type changes from the P type to N type with an increase in the doping content of the Cl element. The optimum component of CsPb(Br0.93Cl0.07)3 demonstrates the highest resistivity of 4.3 × 109 Ω cm, an on/off ratio of ∼40, and a mobility of 414 cm2 V–1 s–1 as well as the lowest carrier concentration of 3.57 × 107 cm–3. Our work provides a strategy to grow doped halide perovskite crystals and tailor their optical and electrical properties.

Harvesting broad spectral absorption and visible light photocatalysis of ultrawide bandgap semiconductors are one of most significative topics in the solar energy conversion and utilization fields. In this work, amorphous Cl-Ta 2 O 5−x microspheres were prepared by facile solvothermal method for stabilized visible light photocatalytic hydrogen generation. The acetone absorbed on the interfaces of Ta 2 O 5 nanoparticles induced the formation of oxygen vacancies , enhanced visible light absorption, and formation of Ta 2 O 5−x microspheres with preferred orientations as well as Cl doping. The Cl-Ta 2 O 5−x microspheres showed typical amorphous characteristics and obvious visible light absorption in comparison to those of commercial Ta 2 O 5 . More importantly, the prepared Cl-Ta 2 O 5−x microspheres also showed stabilized visible light photocatalytic hydrogen generation performance in the spectral regions of 400 nm ≤ λ ≤ 600 nm mainly because of the introduction of oxygen vacancy defects and Cl doping, which might significantly expand the application of tantalum oxide semiconductors in the broad spectral photocatalytic water splitting.

In this work, CdS thin films were deposited on glass/fluorine-doping tin oxide (FTO) substrates by low-cost chemical bath deposition (CBD), followed by annealing with CdCl 2 -doping (Cl-doping) to fabricate resistive-type photodetectors (PDs) with a vertical structure of glass/FTO/CBD-CdS:Cl/electrode. The effect of annealing with Cl-doping (AwCl) on the various properties of films and the photodetection performance of PDs were systematically characterized by special testing methods. The results revealed that the surface morphology and crystal structure of CBD-CdS:Cl films were improved, accompanied by an enhancement of hexagonal phase (002) crystal plane (wurtzite structure), and the optical bandgap of films can be adjusted between 2.43 and 2.26 eV while the electron activation energy of the films was reduced from 75.9 to 10.3 meV after AwCl. Furthermore, the light responsivity of CBD-CdS:Cl PDs were 0.57, 0.59 and 1.67 A/W under 365, 400 and 530 nm illumination at a bias of −2.0 V, respectively, and the detectivity of photons at corresponding wavelengths were 3.7 × 10 8 , 3.9 × 10 8 and 1.08 × 10 9 Jones. Meanwhile, the PDs showed optimized repeatability and improved sensitivity under periodic illumination. The above results demonstrated that the CBD-CdS:Cl PDs with a vertical structure developed in this work had good detection performance at certain characteristic wavelengths.

The development of artificial organs and implants demands new materials with both processability and functionality. A series of star like poly(CL- co -TOSUO) copolymers with different molecular weights are synthesized via ring-opening polymerization. The polymers are modified with norbornene end groups for rapid photo-crosslinking. Due to the random insertion of 1,4,8-trioxaspiro-[4,6]-9-undecanone and well-constructed permanent chemical network, the photo-crosslinked elastomers are more flexible and resilient than conventional poly(ε-caprolactone), with 84% resilience above the melting point. Their thermal and mechanical properties can be fine-tuned by varying the molecular weights of the precursors. The polymer can be fabricated into complex shapes by digital light processing 3D printing. Combined with good cytocompatibility and degradability, the highly flexible elastomers show great potential for tissue engineering. Graphical

Silver nanowires (AgNWs) exhibit excellent electrical conductivity and hold significant potential for usage in flexible electronics. AgNs can possess a suitable aspect ratio, uniformity, and flexibility that are essential for achieving high-performance flexible transparent conductive films. However, the synthesis of AgNWs presents a challenge in controlling its morphology, often resulting in varying lengths and aspect ratios that are difficult to regulate. Thus, the controlled preparation of AgNWs holds great significance. Herein, AgNWs were synthesized via a polyol method with FeCl 3 and KBr composite metal salt as control agents, silver nitrate as a silver source, ethylene glycol as a reducing agent and solvent, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a growth director. By adjusting the ratio and dosage of FeCl 3 and KBr, the morphology controllability of AgNWs was realized, and the obtained AgNWs can be straight or bendable. The surface morphology and microstructure of the AgNWs were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Due to the synergistic effect of FeCl 3 and KBr, flexible AgNWs with an average diameter of 25–35 nm, an average length of 35–45 um, and an aspect ratio of over 1000 can be obtained. Mechanism studies have shown that through electrostatic interactions, AgCl, AgBr, NO 3 − , and PVP in the reaction mixture can form binding sites for AgCl-PVP-NO 3 − and AgBr-PVP-NO 3 − , thus causing the silver nanowires to become flexible. Meanwhile, the strong polarization effect caused by Br − in the reaction causes the chain growth to become subject to the dual effects of electrostatic repulsion and external forces, resulting in the formation of flexible and soft silver nanowires.

Great progress has been achieved in p-type SnS thermoelectric compound recently, while the stagnation of the n-type counterpart hinders the construction of thermoelectric devices. Herein, n-type sulfide PbSnS 2 with isostructural to SnS is obtained through Pb alloying and achieves a maximum ZT of ~1.2 and an average ZT of ~0.75 within 300–773 K, which originates from enhanced power factor and intrinsically ultralow thermal conductivity. Combining the optimized carrier concentration by Cl doping and enlarged Seebeck coefficient through activating multiple conduction bands evolutions with temperature, favorable power factors are maintained. Besides, the electron doping stabilizes the phase of PbSnS 2 and the complex-crystal-structure induced strong anharmonicity results in ultralow lattice thermal conductivity. Moreover, a maximum power generation efficiency of ~2.7% can be acquired in a single-leg device. Our study develops a n-type sulfide PbSnS 2 with high performance, which is a potential candidate to match the excellent p-type SnS.

In this work, we used cathodic microarc plasma electrolysis (CMPE) to degrade 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in simulated wastewater. By investigating and comparing the removal efficiencies and chemical oxygen demand (COD) during the degradation process, higher bath voltage and alkaline condition were considered as more suitable for the 2,4-DCP decomposition. Higher initial 2,4-DCP concentration was attributed to the increase in the utilisation of the energy input. The plasma characteristics during CMPE were studied by optical emission spectroscopy (OES). It was found that the 2,4-DCP directly participated in the plasma discharge process. Furthermore, by studying the evolution of intermediate products at different experimental parameters, it was found that the existence of Cl- played an important role in the opening of benzene ring, which activated the ortho-substitutions of hydroxyl, meanwhile accelerated the p-substitutions. The instantaneous high temperature and high pressure and the Cl- that were generated and driven by cathodic plasma made the decomposition of 2,4-DCP much quicker.

Durability is one prerequisite for material application. Photoelectrochemical decomposition of seawater is a promising approach to produce clean hydrogen by using solar energy, but it always faces the problem of serious Cl − corrosion. We find that the main deactivation mechanism of the photoanode is oxide surface reconstruction accompanied by the coordination of Cl − during seawater splitting, and the stability of the photoanode can be effectively improved by enhancing the metal-oxygen interaction. Taking the metastable β -Fe 2 O 3 photoanode as an example, Sn added to the lattice can enhance the M–O bonding energy and hinder the transfer of protons to lattice oxygen, thereby inhibiting excessive surface hydration and Cl − coordination. Therefore, the bare Sn/ β -Fe 2 O 3 photoanode delivers a record durability for photoelectrochemical seawater splitting over 3000 h.

Surface defects in semiconductors play a significant role in modulating the performance of photocatalytic reactions. However, there is still insufficient exploration regarding the influence of defects on the photocatalytic CO 2 reduction performance. In this study, we achieved controllable construction of oxygen vacancies (OVs) in BiOX (X=Cl, Br) samples through one-step solvothermal treatment in polyols by adjusting the reaction time. The introduction of OVs significantly enhanced the photocatalytic activity of BiOX (X=Cl, Br) for converting CO 2 to CO. Among all the tested BiOX (X=Cl, Br) samples with OVs, BiOCl-OV-2 and BiOBr-OV-2 samples with a moderate amount of OVs exhibited the highest CO yield of 28.51 and 15.22 μmol g cat −1 after 4 hours of irradiation, respectively. Photo-/electrochemical measurements results revealed that engineering OVs into BiOX (X=Cl, Br) effectively adjusted their electronic structure, charge density and separation; however, excessive OVs may slightly degrade their photoelectrochemical properties and thus lead to reduced photocatalytic activity. Furthermore, an appropriate amount of OV was found to enhance both CO 2 adsorption capacity and photo-generated electron reduction ability, thereby further promoting the overall efficiency of photocatalytic CO 2 conversion. Through in situ FTIR spectra analysis, we uncovered the process of photocatalytic conversion from CO 2 to CO.
