The g-C3N4/Y-TiO2 Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts were successfully synthesized. Powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used for characterization. The photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared samples was investigated via the degradation efficiency of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible-light irradiation, and 20 mg L−1 RhB was completely degraded in 90 min. The results showed that the photocatalytic degradation of RhB conformed to pseudo-first-order kinetic fitting, and the kinetic constants of g-C3N4/Y-TiO2 were 4.27 times higher than those of g-C3N4/TiO2 and 14.18 times higher than those of Y-TiO2, respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4/Y-TiO2 was due to the formation of a Z-scheme heterojunction by Y at the g-C3N4/TiO2 interface. Formation of the Z-scheme heterojunction resulted in the suppression of photo-generated electron–hole pair recombination and the increase of their lifetimes, which was demonstrated by the transient photocurrent response, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and the time-resolved photoluminescence spectra. The superoxide radical and photo-generated holes played a dominant role in the photocatalytic degradation process of RhB by g-C3N4/Y-TiO2.

Four new Y-shaped miktoarm amphiphilic copolymers were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and click chemistry. The structure of these copolymers was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The stereocomplexes were prepared by an evaporation method and confirmed by FT-IR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Further the aggregation behaviors of these synthesized polymers and their stereocomplexes were studied by fluorescence spectroscopy (PL), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and light scattering (LS). Their critical micelle concentrations (CMC) obtained by PL were 0.005 mg mL−1 for MPEG1.9k–(scPLA4.5k)2 and 0.039 mg mL−1 for MPEG5k–(scPLA4.5k)2. The aggregation morphologies of homochiral copolymers were worm-like aggregates, while for the stereocomplexes, the spherical micelles were visually observed. The biocompatibility of these copolymers and their stereocomplexes was evaluated with relatively lower cytotoxicity. Finally, the release of doxorubicin (DOX) encapsulated into the micelles in buffer at pH 5.4 was faster than that at pH 7.4. This study demonstrates that the DOX-loaded stereocomplex micelles could be a potential carrier for cancer treatments.

This study investigated the synergistic effects of three-dimensional lattice structures and zeolite Y coatings on CO 2 adsorption. Three different lattice geometries (simple cubic, octet, and Weaire-Phelan) were fabricated using fused deposition modeling (FDM) with varying unit cell thicknesses. Six candidate materials were evaluated for CO 2 adsorption capacity, with zeolite powder exhibiting the highest performance at 77.46 cm 3 /g STP. The selected zeolite powder was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and nitrogen (N 2 ) adsorption-desorption analysis, revealing a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 616.31 m 2 /g with 99.9% micropore contribution. XRD and FTIR analyses confirmed the Y-type zeolite structure with a Si/Al ratio of 1.3. Surface area analysis showed that the octet and Weaire-Phelan structures achieved maximum values of 18,816 mm 2 and 19,088 mm 2 , respectively, at a 2 mm unit cell thickness, representing a three-fold increase compared to that of a solid cube. CO 2 adsorption experiments demonstrated that the Weaire-Phelan structure exhibited the highest adsorption capacity (0.061 g CO 2 /g structure), followed by the octet and simple cubic structures. The 73% desorption efficiency confirmed physisorption-dominated mechanisms suitable for pressure-swing adsorption (PSA) processes. The results established a direct correlation between coating amount and adsorption performance, with lattice geometry playing a critical role in determining coating efficiency even at similar surface areas.

Manganese-based mullite-type oxides are widely used in VOCs oxidation, and their catalytic performance can be effectively regulated by modifying the A-site elements. Here, a series of Mn-based mullite catalysts (AMn 2 O 5 , A = Sm, Y, Gd) with different rare-earth elements at the A-site were synthesized via hydrothermal method and applied for methanol catalytic oxidation. The GdMn 2 O 5 catalyst demonstrated optimal low-temperature activity, achieving 98 % CH 3 OH conversion at 150 °C. Comprehensive characterization results revealed that the largest specific surface area (40.08 m 2 /g), highest Mn 4+ /Mn 3+ ratio (0.33), maximum O ads /O lat ratio (1.07), highest concentration of oxygen vacancy and enhanced surface oxygen mobility collectively contributed to the superior catalytic performance of GdMn 2 O 5 . In situ DRIFTS was employed to investigate the intermediate species and catalytic mechanism of GdMn 2 O 5 during methanol oxidation. This study provides an important theoretical basis for the rational design of AMn 2 O 5 catalysts and the catalytic oxidation of methanol by fully leveraging the rare earth cation effect, modification, and optimization.

A detailed understanding of the role of Y in Cu/ZnO/ZrO 2 catalysts for methanol synthesis was studied by XRD, HRTEM, TPR, TPD, N 2 O titration and XPS techniques in this work. The addition of Y enhances the interaction between Cu and ZnO. With the increase of Y content, the crystal size of Cu and ZnO decreased and Cu 0 surface area increased, CO 2 /H 2 -TPD exhibited the larger CO 2 and H 2 desorption peak at relative high temperature, XPS confirmed the reduction degree of ZnO to Zn 0 on the catalyst surface also increased, and forming more Cu-ZnO x active sites. However, excess Y content leads to a much stronger interaction between Cu and ZnO, which is not beneficial for migration and stabilization of the formed ZnO x species during the reaction atmosphere, and thus generating less Cu-ZnO x sites for methanol synthesis. This work enlightens the migratable and metastabe of the formed ZnO x species on Cu surface by regulation of promoter and offers a perspective for exploring Cu-ZnO interactions in modified Cu/ZnO/ZrO 2 catalysts.

In this article, a series of bismuth (Bi)-doped rare-earth molybdate orange pigments with near infrared (NIR) properties were synthesized by high temperature solid phase reaction at 1400°C with the general formula of Y 4−x Bi x MoO 9 . The prepared pigments were characterized by analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), CIE 1976 color space system, and ultraviolet-visible/near-infrared spectroscopy (UV-Vis/NIR). After doping Bi 2 O 3 into Y 4 MoO 9 , its color changes from yellow to red and finally to orange. All the doped samples belong to the monoclinic crystal system. All pigment samples have an NIR reflectance (R%) of over 97% at 1100 nm. In the study of acid and alkali resistance, the color difference value Δ E * of the pigment before and after soaking in acidic and alkaline solutions is less than 2, indicating its good chemical stability. In the coating simulation investigation, the indoor air temperature difference between the house model coated with synthetic pigments and the house model coated with commercial pigments reaches 8.2°C, indicating that Y 4-x Bi x MoO 9 pigments had good isolation effect and application prospects as a cool pigment.

Luminescent materials that emit in the narrowband ultraviolet-B (NB-UVB; 310–313 nm) spectral region have attracted considerable attention due to their unique spectral features, which endow them with great potential applications in the fields of photochemistry and photomedicine. However, NB-UVB persistent luminescent materials are relatively lacking, especially materials that are excitable by natural sunlight. Here we report the NB-UVB persistent luminescence of Gd3+ in (Y,Gd)3Ga5O12:Bi3+ garnets by making use of the persistent energy transfer from Bi3+ to Gd3+. The optimal Bi3+ and Gd3+ concentrations for the maximum energy transfer efficiency are determined and persistent NB-UVB light emission with a peak wavelength at 313 nm and an afterglow time of more than 24 h is successfully achieved in the (Y,Gd)3Ga5O12:Bi3+ phosphor. More importantly, the as-synthesized NB-UVB persistent phosphors are also excitable by the widely available natural sunlight and exhibit exceptional NB-UVB persistent luminescence performance. Benefitting from the visible-blind emission feature, interference-free capability from indoor ambient light and self-sustained optical characteristic, the developed sunlight-excitable NB-UVB persistent phosphors here not only hold great promise for covert optical tagging applications, but also open new opportunities for optical data storage in a bright indoor environment.

Abatract A series of compositionally complex fluorite oxides (CCFOs) were prepared by ball milling the mixture of ZrO 2 , HfO 2 , Y 2 O 3 , La 2 O 3 , and Pr 6 O 11 followed by conventional solid-state sintering. Both XRD and TG-DSC results demonstrated that single-phase (Zr 0.2 Hf 0.2 Pr 0.2 Y 0.2 La 0.2 )O 2-δ was formed at 1400 °C. Elements in bulk ceramic were uniformly distributed without evident accumulation according to SEM-EDS pictures. TEM results revealed that polycrystalline ceramic powder was assignable to cubic Fm-3m fluorite structure. The electrical conductivity ( σ ) was measured via EIS technology and activation energy ( E a ) of CCFOs was calculated in Arrhenius plots. In the temperature range of 300-750 °C, CCFOs preserved the same conduction mechanism and (Zr 0.1667 Hf 0.1667 Pr 0.1667 Y 0.25 La 0.25 )O 2-δ possessed higher σ and lower E a than other high entropy fluorite oxides which is related to the incorporation of Pr element or the connection of cation-V o complex.

Ball milling the powders of Mg-based alloys with transition metal compounds is effective for improving their hydrogen storage performances. In this experiment, the alloys of La 1.7 Y 0.3 Mg 16 Ni + x wt.% TiF 3 ( x = 0–10) were prepared through mechanical milling technology. XRD , SEM , HRTEM and granulometry were used to measure the composition and microstructure of alloys. The isothermal hydrogen storage property was measured by a Sievert apparatus. The results reveal that the TiF 3 additive in ball-milled samples transforms into MgF 2 and TiH 2 after the first hydrogen absorption . Adding TiF 3 enhances the crystallinity and reduces the average particle and crystallite sizes of alloys, which is beneficial to accelerating hydriding and dehydriding kinetics. Adding 7 wt% TiF 3 into alloy decreases the dehydrogenation activation energy from 72.2 to 64.0 kJ/mol and improves the hydrogen absorption rate at low temperatures, absorbing 3.50 wt% H in 0.5 min at 323 K.

Theory-experiment closed loop enables rational design of doped NiO electrochromics. • DFT screening identifies Y as the optimal dopant over La and Ce. • Y-doped NiO exhibits 50.6 % optical modulation and fast switching kinetics. • High coloration efficiency of 215.6 cm 2 ·C⁻ 1 is achieved experimentally. • Y-doped smart windows achieve 11.3 °C cooling, proving energy savings. Doping is an effective strategy to tailor NiO for high‑performance eletrochromic applications. In this work, first‑principles calculations reveal negative formation energies for Y (−5.83 eV) and La (−3.72 eV) in NiO, confirming spontaneous and stable doping. Experimentally, Y and La doping dramatically boost the charge storage capacity of crystalline NiO films. Most notably, at 500 nm, the Y‑doped (Y‑4) and La‑doped (La‑4) films achieve outstanding optical modulations of 50.6 % and 32.0 %, respectively. They far exceed the 8.3 % of undoped NiO‑400. The doped films also exhibit much faster switching kinetics: coloration/bleaching time of 4.2/6.1 s for Y‑doped and 8.0/4.3 s for La‑doped, compared to 7.0/6.5 s for undoped NiO. More importantly, they exhibit remarkably high coloration efficiencies of 215.6 and 262.0 cm 2 ·C −1 , respectively. After 1000 cycles, the Y‑doped film retains 88.0 % of its initial charge capacity, and the La‑doped film retains 90.7 %. Model house tests indicate their good thermal insulation performance for building applications. This strategy of integrating computational design with experimental validation provides a powerful and general approach to develop tailored doped‑NiO electrochromic materials and other advanced functional materials. Y(or La)-doped NiO electrochromic materials with high electrochromic properties was designed by first‑principles calculations and synthesis successfully.

en This link goes to a English section zh This link goes to a Chinese section Catalytic NH 3 decomposition has garnered substantial attention for hydrogen transformation and storage. Ni-based catalysts continue to suffer from limited thermal stability and suboptimal low-temperature activity, largely attributed to an incomplete understanding of the structure-activity relationships and reaction mechanisms governing their performance. In this study, we designed and constructed a novel Y-Mg bimetallic oxide support system to synergistically modulate the properties of Ni-based catalysts for NH 3 decomposition. Unlike conventional Ni/MgO or Ni/Y 2 O 3 , the precisely tuned Y/Mg ratio in the 20Ni/YMg 8 catalyst creates a unique interface that couples the structural and electronic advantages of both components. A series of Ni-based catalysts with varying Y/Mg ratios was synthesized, and the 20Ni/YMg 8 catalyst with a 1:8 ratio of Y: Mg achieved a hydrogen production rate of 29.77 mmol g cat −1 min −1 at 600°C. Characterizations revealed that Mg incorporation primarily increased surface area and refined Ni dispersion, whereas Y enhanced reducibility and active metal distribution. More importantly, their synergy optimally tailors the electronic structure of Ni and the distribution of basic sites, which collectively promote *NH 2 formation and accelerate N 2 desorption—the rate-determining step. Mechanistic studies confirmed that the optimized catalyst promoted *NH 2 formation and accelerated N 2 evolution, indicating enhanced NH 2 activation and dehydrogenation. This study presents a rational design approach of bimetallic supports to modulate structural and surface properties, offering valuable insights into the development of efficient and stable Ni-based catalysts for ammonia decomposition. 摘要 en This link goes to a English section zh This link goes to a Chinese section 氨催化分解因其在氢能转化与储存方面的潜力而备受关注。镍基催化剂仍面临热稳定性不足和低温活性欠佳的挑战,这主要归因于对其构效关系及反应机理的认识尚不完善。本研究中,我们设计并构建了一种新型的Y-Mg双金属氧化物载体体系,以协同调控镍基催化剂的氨分解性能。与传统的Ni/MgO或Ni/Y 2 O 3 催化剂不同,20Ni/YMg 8 催化剂中精确调控的Y/Mg比例形成了一种独特的界面,耦合了两种组分的结构优势与电子优势。通过合成一系列不同Y/Mg比例的镍基催化剂,我们发现Y:Mg比例为1:8的20Ni/YMg 8 催化剂在600°C时达到了29.77 mmol g cat −1 min −1 的产氢速率。表征结果显示,Mg的引入主要增加了比表面积并优化了Ni的分散性,而Y则增强了还原性和活性金属分布。更重要的是,二者的协同作用精准调控了Ni的电子结构和碱性位点分布,共同促进了NH 2 的形成并加速了N 2 脱附(速率控制步骤)。机理研究证实,优化后的催化剂促进了 NH 2 的形成并加快了N 2 的生成,表明NH 2 的活化和脱氢过程得到增强。本研究为双金属载体的理性设计以调控结构及表面性质提供了新思路,为开发高效稳定的氨分解镍基催化剂提供了重要见解。
