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.

A novel on-line method using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a diode array detector (DAD) and a chemiluminescence (CL) detector was successfully developed for simultaneously analyzing the antioxidant efficacies of 15 components in Guan-Xin-Ning (GXN) injection, a traditional Chinese medicinal preparation consisting of Radix Salvia miltiorrhiza and Rhizoma Ligusticum chuanxiong for the treatment of coronary heart disease and angina pectoris. The analytical conditions were optimized, validated and applied to determine H 2 O 2 inhibition rates of the 15 phenolic acids in GXN injections from 14 different production batches. The results showed that antioxidant diversities were found in the 15 compounds and that danshensu, protocatechuic aldehyde and rosmarinic acid were largely responsible for the antioxidant activity of GXN injection (25.82%-51.19%). In addition, 14 batches of GXN injections were divided into five groups corresponding with five different factories by principal component analysis (PCA) assay. Therefore, the proposed HPLC-DAD-CL method was simple, rapid and low-cost for screening antioxidant constituents in a complex system, which can be used to reveal the antioxidant mechanism of GXN injection and is applicable for its quality control in terms of activity, which was different from the routine chemical assessment.

An aluminum-ion asymmetric supercapacitor was assembled utilizing a cathode made of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in an ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([EMIm]Cl)-based electrolyte. Two types of energy-storage mechanisms, that is, electrochemical double-layer capacitance (adsorption/desorption of AlCl 4 − on the surface) and limited intercalation pseudocapacitance (intercalation/deintercalation of AlCl 4 − in the graphite layer) at low current density, were observed and characterized. Meanwhile, the specific capacitance and cyclic stability of this supercapacitor were also evaluated by using galvanostatically charging–discharging. The result demonstrates that the specific capacitance decreases with increasing current density, which corresponds to the two types of energy-storage mechanisms of this device. The corresponding retention rate of this device after 3500 cycles at current density of 0.4 A g −1 was 82.4 %, which shows good cyclic stability.

Mn doping has been used to improve the physical chemistry of lead halide perovskite nanocrystals such as CsPbX 3 , where X is a halogen ion. In this paper, a two-phase method for Mn-doped CsPbX 3 nanosheets (where X=Br, Cl), namely water-hexane system, is reported. Compared to conventional catalyst arrays, the band gap of CsPbBr 3 nanocrystalline is easily tuned, the carrier diffusion distance is remote, the band edge position of the band structure is favorable for a wide range of electrocatalytic redox reactions, and the catalytic active site is maximally exposed, providing a larger electrolyte contact area. The porous hierarchical structure also accelerates the release of hydrogen bubbles. The results showed that the optimized Mn : CsPbBr 3 catalyst exhibited excellent electrolytic performance of aquatic hydrogen in alkaline electrolyte (1 mol/L KOH). The overpotentials of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm −2 are only 114.4 and 505.4 mV, respectively, with a Tafel slope of 43 mV dec −1 . At a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , the excess potential required for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is 158.6 mV and it exhibits excellent electrochemical stability. The Mn : CsPbBr 3 nanocrystalline consists of two electrodes for hydrolysis of water, requiring only a voltage of 1.45 V. This provides implications for the optimization of electrocatalysts in alkaline electrolytes with the aim of developing next generation 2D electrocatalysts for overall water splitting.

Nitrite is commonly found in the natural environment and in everyday human activities. However, excessive nitrite consumption can potentially harm human health. Consequently, it is crucial to develop a reliable and sensitive method for nitrite detection. In this work, trichloroacetic acid functionalized Cl-Fe-MIL-88B metal-organic framework is obtained through nucleophilic reaction between animated Fe-MIL-88B and trichloroacetic acid, which is then annealed with melamine in an N 2 atmosphere to produce the Fe/Cl/N triply-doped bamboo-like carbon nanotubes (CNTs) wrapped with Fe 3 C nanoparticles. Owing to the effective doping of Fe/Cl/N elements, the charge distribution and chemical activity of the bamboo-like structure are tailored, greatly improving the conductivity and facilitating electron transfer of the composite for potential electrocatalytic reaction. The Fe 3 C nanoparticles wrapped inside the CNTs contribute to expose more active sites and provide effective surface area. Accordingly, the Fe/Cl/N doped bamboo-like structure modified glassy carbon electrode shows excellent electrochemical nitrite sensing properties with a high sensitivity of 1060 µA cm −2 mM −1 , a low detection limit of 0.61 µM in a wide linear concentration range of 5–5000 μM, as well as good anti-interference and long-term stability. Also, the electrochemical sensor has a satisfactory recovery rate for detecting nitrite ions in spiked milk samples. This work proposes a simple precursor chlorination and pyrolysis strategy to obtain metal-filled bamboo-like structure with high electrical conductivity and electrocatalytic properties, endowing great potential in food safety and environment monitoring.

Graphical Lifting the curse : We reported on a novel route by using solid metal halides as halide sources that achieve an anion exchange with CsPbX 3 without any pretreatment. Introducing small amounts of oleic acid or oleylamine speed up the exchange reaction rate, although showing different promotion mechanisms (see figure). Cesium lead halide perovskite (CsPbX 3 ) nanocrystals (NCs) exhibit an excellent photoelectric performance, which is directly governed by fine-tuning of the composition and preparation of materials with a special phase structure and morphology. However, it is still facing challenges to achieve highly stable and luminescent CsPbX 3 NCs at room temperature. Herein, we report on a novel exchange reaction, in which metal halides MX 2 (M=Zn, Mg, Cu, or Ca; X=Cl, Br, or I) solids act as anion source to directly prepare CsPbX 3 NCs at room temperature without any pretreatment. Introducing small amount of oleic acid or oleylamine speed up the exchange reaction through different promotion mechanisms. Oleic acid coordinates to the surface of the NCs, which increases the reaction activity, and oleylamine greatly enhances the dissolution of ZnCl 2 . XRD and TEM tests demonstrate that the cubic phase structure and the morphology of the parent CsPbX 3 were well preserved. Moreover, the band-gap energies and photoluminescence (PL) spectra were readily tunable over the entire visible spectral region of λ =406–685 nm. Our findings could open up the possibilities of using metal halide solids as new anion sources to prepare high-quality CsPbX 3 NCs at room temperature.

Highly active catalysts with salt and acid/alkali resistance are desired in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation processes and marine environment applications. F- and Cl-doped graphene (F-GN and Cl-GN) were prepared via electronegative and atom radius adjustment for tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) pollution removal to satisfy these requirements. The introduction of special F and Cl functionalities into graphene exhibits superior electron transfer properties for PMS activation, considering the experimental and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results. The TCH degradation efficiency reached up to 80% under various pH and salt disturbance conditions with F-GN and Cl-GN. Cl-GN exhibited an activity superior to F-GN due to the higher electron polarization effect of C atoms adjacent to Cl atoms. The presence of more positive charged C sites in Cl-GN (around Cl doping) is more favorable for PMS attachment and sequence radical generation than F-GN. In addition, the main active species functionalized during reaction included ·OH and SO 4 − ·, and the stability of F-GN and Cl-GN was confirmed to be over 60% by recycle test. Final research results provide an effective strategy for designing and preparing PMS activators resistant to salt, acid, and alkali, thereby expanding their application potential.
