Calcium sulfates are widely distributed in Gale crater and Endeavour crater on Mars. However, the mole ratios of Ca2+ and SO3 in some Sr–Ba-rich sulfate veins are less than 1. This indicates that there may be additional solid solution phases on Mars, including Ca–Sr, Ba–Sr, and Ca–Ba sulfates, which, on Earth, are typically found in marine environments. In this study, we synthesized a series of Ca–Sr, Ba–Sr, and Ca–Ba sulfate solid solutions in the laboratory. These synthesized solid solutions were then characterized using various techniques, including X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Raman, mid-infrared, and visible and near-infrared. Our results show that the XRD and Raman spectra of Ca–Sr and Ba–Sr sulfates varied with their cation contents. In particular, the linear relationships (R2 ≥ 0.98) between the mole ratios of cation ions and peak positions of {{\rm{SO}}}_{4}^{2{-}} tetrahedron (v1) in Raman spectra were obtained. The mole content of Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ can be precisely constrained in Ca–Sr, Ba–Sr, and Ca–Ba sulfate solid solution phases through linear relationships, respectively. These results are the experimental basis for analyzing in situ detection data (e.g., SHERLOC, SuperCam, and Oxia planum) and can be used to precisely constrain the mineral phases of calcium sulfate veins on Mars.

BiO 2 CH 3 nanoplate, a new organometallic crystal, with octagonal morphology is successfully prepared using methanol solvothermal method and further employed as template to fabricate porous β-Bi 2 O 3 octagonal nanoplates with a thickness of less than 50 nm. Then a series of hierarchical octagonal haystack-like β-Bi 2 O 3 /Bi 2 S 3 hybrids with large heterointerface and small bandgaps (1.36–1.44 eV) are constructed. It is found that, different from many regular photocatalysts that suffer from shrink of photocatalytic efficiency, the photoactivities of all β-Bi 2 O 3 /Bi 2 S 3 heterostructures are continuously enhanced with growing test cycles, owing to the formation of Bi 2 O 3− x S x solid solution, in which the built-in electric filed induced by lattice distortion can brings about higher e − /h + separation efficiency. The gradually increasing photocatalytic activity can reach to an up limit in about 5 photocatalytic cycles and maintain at this level. β-Bi 2 O 3 /Bi 2 S 3 heterostructure loaded with 20 mol% of Bi 2 S 3 is demonstrated to be the best photocatalyst and capable of fully decomposing Rh B in 30 min. Our work provides deep insights into the nature of the inversed photocatalytic behavior and facilitates the advanced design of photocatalysts with unabated photoactivities.

Crystal structure evolution and temperature-dependent phase transition of solid solutions are much desired for the understanding of the optimization of functional properties. Herein, the NASICON-type NaZr2(PO4)3–SrZr4(PO4)6 solid solutions with the formula Na(2−2x)Srx[ ]xZr4(PO4)6 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1), where [ ] represents the vacancy, were prepared by the sol–gel method, and their crystal structures, phase transitions and thermal expansion properties were investigated in detail. In the range of x = 0.3–0.35, there is a reversible structural phase transition Rc ↔ R and the different structural models of the R phase and Rc phase were built to better understand the phase transition mechanism. We determined the phase transition boundary between the Rc and R structures and predicted the phase transition temperature of Na(2−2x)Srx[ ]xZr4(PO4)6 with any x for further investigation of controlled physical properties. The results indicated that Na0.5Sr0.75[ ]0.75Zr4(PO4)6 showed a near zero thermal expansion in the temperature range of 450–600 K, which can find potential applications.

Novel eco-friendly green pigments, Pr x Ca 2 -x Al 2 SiO 7 (0 < x ≤ 0.1) were synthesized via a solid-state method using Pr 6 O 11 as the coloring oxide and Ca 2 Al 2 SiO 7 as the base material. The results reveal that praseodymium (Pr) ions dissolved into the Ca 2 Al 2 SiO 7 lattice, with the green coloration primarily attributed to Pr 3+ in the lattice. The solid solution was influenced by both temperature and the amount of Pr 6 O 11 introduced. A bright green pigment with composition Pr x Ca 2 -x Al 2 SiO 7 ( x = 0.08) was obtained by maintaining the material at 1350°C for 1.5 h, yielding chromatic parameters L*: 78.29, a*: -18.37 and b*: 27.51. Pr 3+ , responsible for coloration, are retained in an octahedral coordination environment by substituting Ca 2+ in the Ca 2 Al 2 SiO 7 lattice, while Pr 4+ are converted to Pr 3+ when the temperature exceeds 1323K. The newly synthesized pigment is non-toxic, harmless, and exhibits remarkable thermal stability, its successful application to biscuit ceramics highlights its potential as a sustainable and eco-friendly pigment for the ceramics industry.

Water activities of the high concentration solid solution-aqueous solution system (SS-AS) KCl–RbCl–H 2 O and its sub-binary systems at T = 298.15 K and T = 323.15 K have been elaborately measured by an isopiestic method. The solubility of this ternary system at T = (298.15, 308.15 and 323.15) K was also measured by a Flow-Cloud-Point method. A Pitzer model was used to estimate the reliability of the solubility reported in the literature, and to judge the type of solid phase, by correlating the measured water activity and the reported solubility values. The binary model parameters as a function of temperature between T = 298.15 K and T = 323.15 K were obtained by fitting the water activities in the binary systems. The predicted water activities at T = 298.15 K and T = 323.15 K with the obtained binary parameters only, are in good agreement with the experimental values, which indicate that the Pitzer model can reliably represent the properties of the ternary system, with binary parameters only within the temperature range from T = 298.15 K to T = 323.15 K. Under the different assumptions that the equilibrium solid phase involved the pure salts (KCl (s) and RbCl (s) ) for the ideal solid solution or regular solid solution (K, Rb)Cl (ss) , the solubility isotherms at T = (298.15, 308.15 and 323.15) K were calculated and compared to experimental results, respectively. It was found that only the calculated solubility isotherms for (K, Rb)Cl (ss) regular solid solution are consistent with the corresponding experimental values. The solid phase equilibrated with the aqueous solution in the KCl–RbCl–H 2 O ternary system should be a regular solid solution (K, Rb)Cl (ss) . This conclusion also can be verified from the Lippman log ∑ K − X s − X act and Φ ∑ m − X s − X aq equilibrium diagrams.

The photocatalysis technique has been proven to be a promising method to solve environmental pollution in situations of energy shortage, and has been intensively investigated in the field of pollutant degradation. In this work, a band structure-controlled solid solution of BiOBrXI1−X(x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 1.00) with highly efficient light-driven photocatalytic activities was successfully synthesized via simple solvothermal methods. The phase composition, crystal structure, morphology, internal molecular vibration, optical properties, and energy band structure were characterized and analyzed by XRD, SEM, HRTEM, XPS, Raman, and UV Vis DRS. To evaluate the photocatalytic activity of BiOBrXI1−X, rhodamine B was selected as an organic pollutant. In particular, BiOBr0.15I0.85displayed significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity by virtue of modulating the energy band position, optimizing redox potentials, and accelerating carrier separation. Moreover, the enhancement mechanism was elucidated on the basis of band structure engineering, which provides ideas for the design of highly active photocatalysts for practical application in the fields of environmental issues and energy conservation.Keywords:BiOBrXI1−X;solid solution;photocatalytic degradation;band structure engineering

Rare-earth hexaborides (REB 6 ) are vital raw materials for cathode materials and high temperature structural ceramics that are widely applied as high-frequency electron tubes and ceramics adaptive for extreme environment, respectively. In this work, single phase substitutional solid solution REB 6 (LaB 6 , La 0.75 Ce 0.25 B 6 , La 0.5 Ce 0.5 B 6 , La 0.25 Ce 0.75 B 6 and CeB 6 ) powders were prepared with the raw materials of La 2 O 3 , CeO 2 , B 4 C and Al powders, after calcining at 1773 K for 4 h and the following alkaline leaching. All substitutional solid solution products have homogeneous distributions of La and Ce in particles. Through microscopic morphology analysis, it is discovered that the formation of solid solution is beneficial for reducing the particle size of product, relative to LaB 6 and CeB 6 . Moreover, Al flux plays an important role in decarbonizing reaction, and C contents of all products are below 0.4 wt%.

Ti 2 GaC is a novel ternary layered ceramic with unique physical and chemical properties such as excellent thermal conductivity , low density, high-temperature oxidation resistance , and corrosion resistance . However, the relatively low strength and hardness of Ti 2 GaC hinder its practical applications as a structural component. To strengthen the mechanical properties of Ti 2 GaC and extend its application range, in this study, (Ti 1-x V x ) 2 GaC MAX phase solid solutions with x ranging up to 0.25 were successfully synthesized using a two-step sintering method. (Ti 1-x V x ) 2 GaC solid solutions grains showed a typical lamellar structure , where the a lattice constant of (Ti 1-x V x ) 2 GaC decreased from 3.0660 to 3.0326 Å and c decreased from 13.3223 to 13.1520 Å. The effects of V content on the solid solution microstructure, crystal structure, mechanical strength, and resistance to friction and wear were evaluated in detail. In addition, the solid solution formation mechanism and fracture damage modes of these materials were discussed. The crystal structure, mechanical properties, electronic properties, and chemical bonding of (Ti 1-x V x ) 2 GaC continuous solid solution at x = 0–1 were calculated by DFT. The solid solution enhancement mechanism of (Ti 1-x V x ) 2 GaC was explained by analyzing the relationship between the structure and properties.

MXenes are emerging as highly promising materials for pseudocapacitive applications, offering exceptionally high specific capacitance. To date, over 30 distinct MXene compositions and nearly 20 solid solutions have been synthesized in the lab. However, research predominantly centers on Ti3C2Tx and a handful of other single-metal MXenes, with scant attention paid to solid-solution MXenes. Herein, a series of solid solution MAX phases (Nb1−yTiy)4AlC3 and corresponding (Nb1−yTiy)4C3Tx MXenes have been synthesized. The maximum proportion of Ti that can be incorporated into the M site has been examined. We found that the rate performance of MXenes improves with increasing Ti content. Especially, (Nb0.7Ti0.3)4C3Tx and (Nb0.6Ti0.4)4C3Tx retain 62.92% and 68.38% of their capacitances, when the scan rate is increased from 5 mV s−1 to 1000 mV s−1, respectively, compared to Nb4C3Tx's 13.88% retention. (Nb0.7Ti0.3)4C3Tx shows a specific capacitance of 311.06 F g−1 under a current density of 1 A g−1 and good cycling stability. This research demonstrates that the electrochemical characteristics of (Nb1−yTiy)4C3Tx solid solution MXenes can be manipulated by adjusting the ratio of transition metals.

The properties of MAX phases can be fine-tuned to meet some particular applications via solid solution route, and the feasible preparation of the MAX solid solutions is a prerequisite for their applications. Ti 3 (Sn x Al 1−x )C 2 solid solutions over the whole composition range (x = 0–1) are synthesized by pressureless sintering, and characterized by XRD and SEM. The composition and crystal structure of representative Ti 3 Sn 0.8 Al 0.2 C 2 are examined by HRTEM, HAADF and EDS associated with STEM, and thus the Sn-rich Ti 3 (Sn x Al 1−x )C 2 solid solution is confirmed. Combined with means of thermal analysis, the reaction path for the formation of the Sn-rich Ti 3 (Sn x Al 1−x )C 2 solid solution is explored. Solid solutions are found to form with TiC as the nucleus and grow by reacting with Ti–Sn/Ti–Al intermetallic compounds . This work proves that the Ti 3 (Sn x Al 1−x )C 2 over the whole composition range, in particular, the Sn-rich end of this series of solid solutions can be obtained by the simple pressureless sintering, and would enable the fine manipulation of the composition of these typical MAX solid solutions for technologically important applications.

Complete solid solutions between LaTaON 2 and SrZrO 3 , i.e. (LaTaON 2 ) 1−x (SrZrO 3 ) x (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) have been built which are very useful in tailoring many important parameters of LaTaON 2 . Band gap of LaTaON 2 becomes tunable by controlling the level of solid solutions with SrZrO 3 . Structural distortions, defects (e.g. Ta 4+ species) concentration and surface hydrophilicity of LaTaON 2 are largely improved by introducing SrZrO 3 in the structure. These modifications contribute to much enhanced photocatalytic activities of solid solutions for oxygen production which clearly outperform pristine LaTaON 2 under visible light illumination. Apparent quantum efficiency as high as 0.87% at 420 ± 20 nm was achieved at (LaTaON 2 ) 0.6 (SrZrO 3 ) 0.4 (x = 0.4). Further analysis suggest that introducing SrZrO 3 results in realignment of band edge positions of LaTaON 2 so as to be more appropriate for water splitting reactions.

Ternary sulfide solid solutions have garnered great attention in photocatalytic water splitting due to their tunable electronic property, low cost, and sufficient light-absorption performance. Herein, a series of Mn x Cd 1 – x S samples with different Mn/Cd molar ratios were synthesized by solvothermal method and used for photocatalytic hydrogen production under visible light. The Mn 0.2 Cd 0.8 S and Mn 0.4 Cd 0.6 S are demonstrated to be the solid solutions, while Mn 0.6 Cd 0.4 S and Mn 0.8 Cd 0.2 S consist of Mn x Cd 1 – x S solid solution and MnS. In addition, the Mn 0.4 Cd 0.6 S exhibits the highest photocatalytic performance with the H 2 production rate of 185.95 μmol·h −1 , which is 4.7 times higher than that of CdS. Without cocatalyst, the quantum efficiency of Mn 0.4 Cd 0.6 S reaches 2.04% at 400 nm. In addition, the Mn 0.4 Cd 0.6 S solid solution also shows high stability during the photocatalytic H 2 production reaction. The effect of Mn/Cd molar ratio on the microstructure, band gap structure, and photocatalytic hydrogen production performance of Mn x Cd 1– x S was revealed systematically. The excellent photocatalytic H 2 production performance of Mn 0.4 Cd 0.6 S solid solution is mainly due to its enhanced reducing potential and high charge separation efficiency.
