Herein, we develop a novel strategy for preparing all-inorganic cesium lead halide (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite nanocrystals (NCs)@Zn-based metal-organic framework (MOF) composites through interfacial synthesis. The successful embedding of fluorescent perovskite NCs in Zn-MOFs is due to the in situ confined growth, which is attributed to the re-nucleation of water-triggered phase transformation from Cs4PbBr6 to CsPbBr3. The controllable synthesis of mixed-halide based composites with various emission wavelength can be achieved by adding the desired amount of halide (Cl or I) salts in the re-nucleation process. More importantly, the anion exchange reaction is inhibited among various composites with different halogen atoms by being trapped in MOFs. Besides, a white light-emitting diode (WLED) is produced using a blue LED chip with the green-emitting and red-emitting composites, which has a color coordinate of (0.3291, 0.3272) and a wide color gamut. This work provides a novel route to achieving perovskite NCs growth in MOFs, which also can be extended to the other NCs embedded in frames as well.

In this work, a Ni foam/CNTs/Cu composite electrode was prepared via the impregnation and electrodeposition methods. The electrode enhanced the total nitrogen removal and N 2 selectivity , when served as a cathode for NO 3 − -N reduction. SEM, EDS, XRD, and XPS characterization revealed that both CNTs and metallic copper were introduced onto the surface of the Ni foam substrate successfully. Besides, the LSV, CV, EIS and C dl results indicated more electrochemical active sites were in the Ni foam/CNTs/Cu electrodes than in Ni foam/Cu electrodes. Under optimal preparation conditions, the Ni foam/CNTs/Cu electrode showed N 2 selectivity of 68.89 % and nitrate removal rate of 96.75 % in 100 mg/L nitrate solution with Na 2 SO 4 as electrolyte. The selectivity of N 2 could be significantly enhanced by adding Cl − as electrolyte, and the nitrogen selectivity increased with the increase of Cl − concentration. At 1.25 g/L NaCl, the Ni foam/CNTs/Cu electrode could achieve >95 % nitrate and total nitrogen removal and close to 100 % N 2 selectivity. The N 2 selectivity of the Ni foam/CNTs/Cu electrode was 2.534 and 1.8 times of the Ni foam/Cu electrode when 0.5 g/L Na 2 SO 4 and 0.5 g/L NaCl were used as electrolytes, respectively. Consequently, to achieve the same nitrate reduction effect, the Ni foam/CNTs/Cu electrode could reduce the amount of NaCl compared with Ni foam/Cu electrode. The electrodes were tested in 6 cycles and proved to be stable. At last, a potential mechanism of nitrate‑nitrogen removal by the electrocatalytic process was suggested.

The study of multiple complex catalytic mechanisms is currently one of the great scientific issues for the application of high-energy solid propellants . Two novel heterobimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), Ba 4 Pb 4 (CH 3 CO 2 ) 8 [(CH 6 CO 2 ) 4 Pb](CH 3 CO 2 ) 4 (PbBa-MOF) and Ba 2 Ni(CO 2 H) 6 (OH 2 ) 4 (NiBa-MOF), were prepared via the solvothermal method, and their structures and composition were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques and N 2 adsorption/desorption experiment. The thermal decomposition characteristics of the two MOFs and their catalytic performances on the hexanitro hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) thermolysis were also studied by differential scanning calorimetr (DSC) and thermogravimetric-fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-mass spectrum (TG-FTIR-MS) methods. The results showed that the NiBa-MOF presented a lower initial decomposition temperature than the PbBa-MOF, and the difference of the MOFs structures affected the starting point of thermal decomposition. Compared with the pure CL-20, the thermolysis peak temperature and apparent activation energy ( E a ) of the CL-20/PbBa-MOF mixture were decreased by 2.2 °C and 23.76 kJ‧mol −1 , respectively. The E a of CL-20/NiBa-MOF mixture was lower and 42.01 kJ‧mol −1 , indicating the better catalytic activity of NiBa-MOF. The thermolysis catalytic mechanisms were studied by analyzing the transformation of gas products during the pyrolysis of mixtures. The effect of these two MOFs on the CL-20 thermolysis is primarily owing to the strong attraction of metal cations to electronics, bimetallic synergistic catalysis, and the release of active free radicals. Furthermore, the laser ignition and flame propagation features showed that these two MOFs reduced the minimum ignition power density and ignition delay time of the CL-20, and the flame becomes brighter and more luminous. The influence of the two MOFs on the flame bright spot of CL-20 based mixtures was described.

Fast and convenient synthesis of zero-dimensional (0D) cesium-copper(I) halide (Cs3Cu2X5 (X = Cl, I)) single crystals (SCs) is critical to achieve practical radiography. In this study, rapid growth of high-quality Cs3Cu2X5 (X = Cl, I) SCs with sizes reaching centimeter scale were achieved within 24 hours using scalable solution-phased methods. These crystals exhibited highly effective emission with large Stokes shifts, excellent PL linearity, and PLQYs exceeding 86%. Additionally, post-treated Cs3Cu2X5–PMMA films demonstrated outstanding scintillation performance, including excellent stabilities, light yield surpassing 36 000 photons per MeV, and spatial resolution up to 6.5 lp per mm in X-ray imaging tests. The high scintillation efficiency can be attributed to their compact 0D crystalline structure, resulting in a small defect density and strong exciton localization.

Because of its high energy density, hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane(CL-20) has been widely used in propellants in place of conventional oxidizers. The adjustable burning rate of the CL-20 is a key factor in adapting the propellant to various environments. In this work, the effects of graphene oxide(GO) content on the thermal release, ignition and combustion characteristics of micro and nano CL-20 were thoroughly conducted based on the differential scanning calorimetry measurements (DSC), laser ignition, burning rate test and condensed combustion products collection. The results show GO has a positive effect on micro and nano CL-20 in ignition performance and a negative effect on combustion rate. Owing to the addition of GO, the original flameless combustion of CL-20 changes to flaming combustion. With increasing GO content, the burning rates of micro and nano CL-20 show completely different descending laws. Furthermore, the combustion mechanism of nano and micro CL-20/GO has been studied in detail. The burning rate of micro CL-20/GO is primarily determined by the condensed phase, and that of nano composite is controlled by both of the condensed and gas phases. This work provides a deeply insight into the influence mechanism of GO on the properties of nano and micro CL-20.

A new Gd3+-containing borate Ba2Gd(BO3)2F has been successfully grown via the high-temperature solution method using BaF2-NaF-B2O3 flux. Ba2Gd(BO3)2F crystallizing in the orthorhombic space group Pnma is with lattice parameters a = 7.571(4) Å, b = 10.424(5) Å, c = 8.581(4) Å, α = β = γ = 90°, and Z = 2. Its three-dimensional framework was constructed from interesting pinwheel-like [Gd(BO3)F]∞ layers bridged by sharing [BO3]3–, which is different from the [Gd(BO3)]∞ layer in the model structure Ba2Gd(BO3)2Cl. The magnetic measurements indicated that Ba2Gd(BO3)2F has a larger magnetocaloric effect with −ΔSm,max = 27.82 J·kg–1·K–1at 2 K and 9 T than that of Ba2Gd(BO3)2Cl under the same conditions. Moreover, thermal stability, infrared spectrum (IR), and ultraviolet–visible-near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectrum were carried out to characterize the title compounds. The first-principles computations also looked into the electronic band structures, densities of states, and refractive indices.

Self-trapped excitons (STEs) in metal halide materials are attracting an increasing level of interest due to their unique light emission properties. Light emission from STEs in metal halides is usually associated with excited-state structural deformation, which lowers the symmetry of local structures, as seen for the STEs in a wide range of materials systems. Here, we reveal a prototypic STE-associated structural “distortion” that, however, enhances the symmetry of local structures, in a series of all-inorganic copper(I)-based halides Cs3Cu2X5 (X = Cl, Br, or I). We further find that the emission peaks of Cs3Cu2X5 blue-shift when the halogen changes from Cl to Br to I, which is the opposite of the trends found in traditional halide perovskites. This phenomenon is attributed to a synergetic combination of the significant change in band gap associated with structural deformation and a strong excitonic effect. Due to the highly localized electron and hole upon photoexcitation, Cs3Cu2Cl5 shows an extremely long and temperature-sensitive photoluminescence (PL) lifetime among metal halide materials with STEs. Remarkably, strong green emission with a PL quantum yield exceeding 90% is found in Cs3Cu2Cl5, opening the way to designing light emission compounds based on local symmetry-enhancing STE mechanisms.

Recently, thermoelectric lead-free selenides have attracted great attention due to their earth-abundant, low-cost and environment-friendly characteristics. Here we report a new strategy to simultaneously enhance the electronic transport properties and reduce the thermal conductivity of polycrystalline SnSe2. By combining weak van der Waals bonding with the mobile behavior of Ag+ ions, the carrier concentration is optimized over a wide temperature range, which can be attributed to the dynamic Ag+-intercalation into the van der Waals gap from the Ag+ ion reservoir AgSnSe2. On account of additional electrical bridges between interlayers contributed by the intercalated Ag+ ions and weak anisotropy, an exciting high power factor of up to ∼7.46 μW cm−1 K−2 at 789 K is achieved along the pressing direction. In addition, the thermal conductivity is simultaneously reduced to ∼0.57 W m−1 K−1 at 789 K, owing to numerous line defects, phase interfaces, twin boundaries, dislocations and intercalated atomic layers generated after Ag introduction, as well as the anharmonic vibration of Ag+ ions. As a result, a record peak ZT of ∼1.03 at 789 K is realized along the pressing direction, which is ∼1.6 times larger than the highest reported value (0.63) of polycrystalline SnSe2 and even comparable to that of p-type polycrystalline SnSe. This study opens a new way to achieve ultra-high thermoelectric performance, especially in layered materials.

Purpose: Clinical applications of curcumin (Cur) have been greatly restricted due to its low solubility and poor systemic bioavailability. Three-arm amphiphilic copolymer tricarballylic acid-poly (ε-caprolactone)-methoxypolyethylene glycol (Tri-CL-mPEG) nanoparticles (NPs) were designed to improve the solubility and bioavailability of Cur. The present study adopted a microchannel system to precisely control the preparation of self-assembly polymeric NPs via liquid flow-focusing and gas displacing method.Methods: The amphiphilic three-arm copolymer Tri-CL-mPEG was synthesized and self-assembled into nearly spherical NPs, yielding Cur encapsulated into NP cores (Cur-NPs). The obtained NPs were evaluated for physicochemical properties, morphology, toxicity, cellular uptake by A549 cells, release in vitro, biodistribution, and pharmacokinetics in vivo.Results: Rapidly fabricated and isodispersed Cur-NPs prepared by this method had an average diameter of 116±3 nm and a polydispersity index of 0.197±0.008. The drug loading capacity and entrapment efficiency of Cur-NPs were 5.58±0.23% and 91.42±0.39%, respectively. In vitro release experiments showed sustained release of Cur, with cumulative release values of 40.1% and 66.1% at pH 7.4 and pH 5.0, respectively, after 10 days post-incubation. The results of cellular uptake, biodistribution, and in vivo pharmacokinetics experiments demonstrated that Cur-NPs exhibited better biocompatibility and bioavailability, while additionally enabling greater cellular uptake and prolonged circulation with possible spleen, lung, and kidney targeting effects when compared to the properties of free Cur.Conclusion: These results indicate that Tri-CL-mPEG NPs are promising in clinical applications as a controllable delivery system for hydrophobic drugs.

In this study, a simple and effective method for the simultaneous analysis of Cl, Br, and I in geological materials based on NH4HF2 digestion in open vessels (Savillex Teflon vials) is proposed. It is very interesting to note that Cl, Br, and I are not lost during NH4HF2 digestion at temperatures of 200–240 °C for 0.5–12 h in open vessels. This should be related to the alkaline atmosphere environment caused by the NH3 produced during NH4HF2 digestion, which suppresses the volatilization loss of Cl, Br, and I. A 100 mg sample of geological materials can be completely digested by using 400 mg of NH4HF2 at 220 °C for 2 h in Savillex Teflon vials. The use of new Savillex Teflon vials significantly reduced the procedural blanks of halogens compared with the old Savillex Teflon vials. The developed method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of Cl, Br, and I in a series of international geological reference materials. Most of the results were found to be in reasonable agreement with values reported in the literature. This simple, rapid, effective, and economical analytical method will significantly promote the development of halogen geochemistry.

The lack of fresh water in the world makes the search for an effective method to decontaminate water an urgent priority. An important step is to remove different multivalent ions in salt treatment. Nanofiltration (NF) has been used for treating water containing different kinds of salts. In this work, sulfonate group-modified graphene oxide (SGO) was prepared, and added during the interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction to prepare SGO-modifiedNF membranes (PA-SGO). The chemical composition, structure and surface properties of PA and PA-SGO membranes were characterized by FT-IR, XPS, SEM, AFM, contact angle and zeta potential measurements. Their water flux , salt rejection and anti-fouling abilities were investigated systematically. The testing results showed that the water flux of PA-SGO (0.03% SGO) was 45.85 LMH under a pressure of 0.2 MPa, and the salt rejection varied in the order of Na 2 SO 4 (98.99%) > MgSO 4 (91.25%) > MgCl 2 (42.27%) > NaCl (21.96%). An anti-fouling experiment indicated that the PA-SGO membrane had good anti-fouling properties because of its decreased roughness and increased hydrophilicity and electronegativity. The PA-SGO membrane has good potential for use in removing salt ions from water.

The novel fluorescent nanofiber membranes of CsPbX3 (FNMs/CPX, X = Cl, Br, I) with a wide photoluminescence range from 405 nm to 675 nm are fabricated by a one-step electrospinning method in this paper. Owing to the polymer cladding, these FNMs/CPX show much better thermal and humid stability compared to the common CsPbX3 particles, and the corresponding white light-emitting diode prepared by them also exhibits excellent optical properties. Without adopting any complicated processes, this method opens up a brand new way for the perovskite materials using in lighting and display fields.
