Over-consumption of limited fossil fuels has caused serious environmental pollution and a global energy crisis, threatening human life and biodiversity. As an ideal, environmentally friendly renewable energy, hydrogen can satisfy human clean energy requirements. Therefore, whether hydrogen can be catalytically generated in the wastewater treatment process is a highly meaningful investigation. Herein, Bi 2 Te 3 /Te/C heterojunction nanowires with high specific surface area and rich pore structure were successfully synthesized. The efficient catalytic degradation process is accompanied by the generation of hydrogen. The catalytic degradation of methylene blue and methyl orange was achieved in less than 20 s and 150 s, respectively. Meanwhile, in scaled-up degradation/hydrogen production experiments, fast and efficient H 2 production from NaBH 4 can be realized in the presence of Bi 2 Te 3 /Te/C nanowires. The mechanism of efficient synergistic organic dye degradation and hydrogen production is due to the efficient carrier transfers and accumulation at the hetero-interface. In contrast to previous work, rapid degradation of organic dyes and hydrogen production by decomposition of NaBH 4 were achieved without the help of high-cost catalysts such as precious metals. This work could provide an alternative pathway for the future degradation of organic matter in synergistic heterogeneous catalytic wastewater and recovery of by-products including hydrogen.

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdWs) heterojunctions have been actively investigated in low-power-consumption and fast-response photodiodes owing to their atomically smooth interfaces and ultrafast interfacial charge transfer. However, achieving ultralow dark current and ultrafast photoresponse in the reported photovoltaic devices remains a challenge as the large built-in electric field in a heterojunction can not only speed up photocarrier transport but also increase the minority-carrier dark current. Here, we propose a high-spike barrier photodiode that can achieve both an ultralow dark current and an ultrafast response. The device is fabricated by the Te/WS2 heterojunction, while the band alignment can transition from type-II to type-I with a high electron barrier and a large hole built-in electronic field. The high electron barrier can greatly reduce the drift current of minority carriers and the generation current of the thermal carriers, while the large built-in electronic field can still speed up the photocarrier transport. The designed Te/WS2 vdWs photodiode yields an ultralow dark current of 8 × 10–14 A and an ultrafast photoresponse of 10/13 μs. Furthermore, a high-performance visible-light imager with a pixel resolution of 100 × 40 is demonstrated using the Te/WS2 vdWs photodiode. This work provides a comprehensive understanding of designing 2D-material-based photovoltaics with excellent overall performance.

Fe(Te,Se) is a simple, iron-based compound that is conducive to the study of superconductivity mechanisms and has potential for large-scale applications. At present, Fe(Te,Se) thin films are primarily prepared using the pulsed laser deposition method. Herein, FeTe 0.6 Se 0.4 films were grown by magnetron sputtering on CaF 2 substrates. The effect of sputtering pressure on the superconductivity of the film was investigated. Excessive pressure caused a higher iron content, which affected the superconductivity and prevented it from completely reaching a zero-resistance state. Δ T c was smaller for the film grown under 0.2 Pa, and its upper critical field reached 144.35 T, which indicates its greater application potential. Our results illustrated that sputtering pressure was a critical process parameter, which provided an important reference for future research to fabricate commercial iron-based superconducting tapes by magnetron sputtering.

Ternary compounds, Mg 3 TeO 6 , Mg 2 Te 3 O 8 , MgTe 2 O 5 and MgTe 6 O 13 , in the Mg-Te-O system have been synthesized in the present study, and their decomposition behaviors at various atmospheric conditions have been experimentally studied with the TGA-DSC technique. Obtained results showed that: 1) Mg 3 TeO 6 started to decompose to MgO , TeO 2 , and O 2 at 1255.9 °C in the carrying gas of 20% O 2 - 80% Ar, and the initial decomposition temperature decreased along with decreasing oxygen concentration in the gas; 2) Mg 2 Te 3 O 8 decomposed to MgO and TeO 2 , and when the O 2 was rich in the gas, Mg 3 TeO 6 was also found in the product. The initial decomposition temperature of Mg 2 Te 3 O 8 was 832.1 °C, 839.2 °C, and 839.9 °C, when the O 2 concentration in the carrying gas was 20%, 0.1%, and 0.0001%, respectively; 3) The decomposition products of MgTe 2 O 5 were same with that of Mg 2 Te 3 O 8 , and its initial decomposition temperature decreased along with decreasing the O 2 concentration in the gas; 4) MgTe 6 O 13 decomposed to MgTe 2 O 5 and TeO 2 around 700 °C, and the initial decomposition temperature decreased with decreasing O 2 concentration in the gas. Along with increasing temperature, MgTe 2 O 5 converted to Mg 3 TeO 6 through oxidation reactions, and Mg 3 TeO 6 decomposed at elevated temperatures.

Recently, vacancy-ordered double perovskite phosphors have garnered significant attention due to their high quantum efficiency, elevated carrier mobility, and favorable fluorescence properties. Vacancy ordered double perovskite phosphors has poor fluorescence properties due to the high number of vacancies. The fluorescence characteristics and stability can be enhanced through strategic ion doping. This study synthesized Zr 4+ ion-doped Cs 2 SnCl 6 : 5 %Te using hydrochloric acid-assisted precipitation method. The inclusion of Zr 4+ ions in proper proportions facilitated Jahn-Teller structural distortion in Te 4+ , thereby enhancing the generation of bright yellow-green emission. The photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) achieved a peak of 70.9 % at a Zr 4+ ion doping level of 15 %. Furthermore, a water stability test was conducted on the phosphors. At 15 % doping with Zr ions, The Cs 2 Zr 0.15 Sn 0.8 Cl 6 : 5 %Te phosphors demonstrated a remarkable stability, which maintained 100 % of its initial fluorescence intensity after immersion in water for 14 h, proving the excellent stability of the phosphors against water exposure. A white light-emitting diode (WLED) with color coordinates of (0.3486, 0.364), a correlated color temperature of 4915 K, and a color-rendering index (Ra) of 86 was prepared using Cs 2 Zr 0.15 Sn 0.8 Cl 6 : 5 %Te phosphor. This development offers a novel and eco-friendly approach to solid state lighting.

Previous study suggested that Se-site doping with Te or S in tetragonal FeSe adjusts the superconductivity only by expanding or compressing the lattice parameters . However, three chalcogens X ( X = S, Se, Te) show different electronegativity, which could directly change the interaction between Fe & X , and their electronic structures. In order to understand this underlying mechanism, the samples with different anion compositions but the same lattice parameters are required. In this work, two superconductors : FeSe 0.95 Te 0.03 S 0.02 and FeSe 0.9 Te 0.057 S 0.043 have been synthesized by solid state reaction. The thus-obtained samples have the same lattice parameters in tetragonal single phase as that of undoped FeSe. It is found that despite the unchanged lattice, S/Te co-doping on Se-site still increased the density of the electronic states (DOS) near the Fermi level, thereby enhanced the superconductivity. Our results suggest that the influence of Se-site doping with the same valence chalcogen in superconducting FeSe is not simply in the view of the lattice size, effects on electronic structures originated from different electronegativity during Se-site doping should also be considered.

MoSe2 with a two-dimensional layer-like structure has been considered a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) on account of its high capacity and rich reserves on Earth. However, the inherent low conductivity of 2H-MoSe2, as well as the inevitable volume fluctuation during cycling, causes structural collapse and capacity decline, resulting in poor rate capability and unacceptable cycling stability. To improve the sodium storage properties of 2H-MoSe2, the Te doping strategy has been adopted to successfully synthesize Te doped 1T/2H-MoSe2 nanosheets (Te-MoSe2) via a facile two-step reaction. The Te doping induces the phase transition of 2H-MoSe2 to form 1T-MoSe2, which can improve the electron conductivity and generate more active sites, benefiting the promotion of sodium storage capacity. Besides, the 1T/2H heterogeneous interface accelerates the charge transfer kinetics. Thus, as an innovative anode material for sodium-ion half batteries, Te-MoSe2 exhibits better sodium storage performances than pure MoSe2. The full batteries composed of the Te-MoSe2 anode and Na3V2(PO4)3@rGO cathode also deliver remarkable electrochemical performances. The related kinetics results confirm the excellent electron transfer efficiency and rapid Na+ diffusion behavior of Te-MoSe2. Moreover, the reaction mechanism has also been elucidated by some ex situ characterization techniques. The good reversibility and excellent sodium storage properties of the Te-MoSe2 electrode indicate its potential application in future energy storage fields.

The dielectric function of phase-change materials (PCMs) presents a tremendous difference for the amorphous and crystalline states. Therefore, the measurement of the mid-infrared transparency of thin films of PCMs will provide a cost-efficient method to reveal the dependence of amorphous-crystalline phase transition on their compositions. Although Sb–Te–Se system has shown the advantages of the high speed, low power consumption and long retention life, the information on the mid-infrared transparency of Sb–Te–Se thin films is still insufficient. In our investigation, combinatorial materials libraries of Sb–Te–Se thin films were synthesized. The composition and mid-infrared spectral transmittance of each pixel of Sb–Te–Se thin film in the library were characterized using the energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, respectively. The in-depth chemical composition for randomly selected pixels was identified using secondary ions mass spectroscopy (SIMS). The crystallographic structure of some pixels was also identified using micro-area X-ray diffraction (μ-XRD). It can be found that, with the change of composition in Sb–Te–Se thin films, their mid-infrared spectral transmittance can be organized into three distinctive groups, corresponding to amorphous Sb–Se, Sb 2 Se 3 orthorhombic structure and Sb 2 Te 3 rhombohedral structure, respectively. Therefore, the amorphous-crystalline phase transition and the phase-change from the orthorhombic structure of Sb 2 Se 3 to the rhombohedral structure of Sb 2 Te 3 can be completely reflected in the mid-infrared spectral transmittance of Sb–Te–Se thin films.

Bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric (TE) devices were widely used in waste heat recovery due to their high thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT), but the severe diffusion between Sn-based solder and TE pillar generated porous and brittle Sn-Te intermetallic compound (IMC), which seriously restricted the reliable service of devices. Ni-based coating was used but the thick Ni-Te IMC also impaired the properties of TE pillars. In this work, the crystalline Co-P coating was inserted between the p-type TE material Bi 0.5 Sb 1.5 Te 3 and the solder by electrodeposition, and the power generation sustainability of the TE pillar were significantly improved, and the mechanism was revealed. The microstructural characterization proved that the Co-P coating could effectively resist the diffusion of active Sn, Bi, Sb, Cu atoms. Co-P coating would provide support for the structural integrity and performance sustainability of TE pillars. It was worth noting that an ultrathin CoTe 2 IMC layer was formed between the Co-P coating and the Bi-Sb-Te pillar, which was much thinner than the Ni-Te IMC layer reported in the literature. This indicated that Co-P only consumed little thermoelectric elements, but also a good metallurgical bond was formed between the Co-P and the Bi-Sb-Te. After aging at 423 K for 150 h, the maximum output power and average Seebeck coefficient of the TE pillar without coating dropped significantly by 74% and 34%, respectively, and the internal resistance rose by 67%. Remarkably, the maximum output power and average Seebeck coefficient of the TE pillar protected by the Co-P coating only decreased by 14% and 5%, respectively, and the internal resistance only increased by 6%.

Light-induced ferroelectric polarization in 2D layered ferroelectric materials holds promise in photodetectors with multilevel current and reconfigurable capabilities. However, translating this potential into practical applications for high-density optoelectronic information storage remains challenging. In this work, an α-In 2 Se 3 /Te heterojunction design that demonstrates spatially resolved, multilevel, nonvolatile photoresponsivity is presented. Using photocurrent mapping, the spatially localized light-induced poling state (LIPS) is visualized in the junction region. This localized ferroelectric polarization induced by illumination enables the heterojunction to exhibit enhanced photoresponsivity. Unlike previous reports that observe multilevel polarization enhancement in electrical resistance, the device shows nonvolatile photoresponsivity enhancement under illumination. After polarization saturation, the photocurrent increases up to 1000 times, from 10 −12 to 10 −9 A under the irradiation of a 520 nm laser with a power of 1.69 nW, compared to the initial state in a self-driven mode. The photodetector exhibits high detectivity of 4.6×10 10 Jones, with a rise time of 27 µs and a fall time of 28 µs. Furthermore, the device's localized poling characteristics and multilevel photoresponse enable spatially multiplexed optical information storage. These results advance the understanding of LIPS in 2D ferroelectric materials, paving the way for optoelectronic information storage technologies.

Lead-free perovskite variants have emerged as promising candidates due to their self-trapped exciton emission. However, in ASnX3systems, facile oxidation of Sn(II) to Sn(IV) yields A2SnCl6vacancy-ordered derivatives. Paradoxically, despite possessing a direct bandgap, these variants exhibit diminished photoluminescence (PL). Doping engineering thus becomes essential for precise optical tailoring of A2SnX6materials. Herein, through integrated first-principles calculations and spectroscopic analysis, we elucidate the luminescence mechanism in Te4+-doped (NH4)2SnCl6lead-free perovskites. Density functional theory, X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirm Te4+substitution at Sn sites via favorable chemical potentials. Spectral interrogations, including absorption and emission profiles, reveal that the intense emission originates from the triplet STE recombination (3P1→1S0) of Te centers. Temperature-dependent PL spectra further demonstrate strong electron–phonon coupling that induces symmetry-breaking distortions to stabilize STEs. Complementary electronic band structure and molecular orbital calculations unveil the underlying photophysical pathway. Leveraging these distinct thermal responses of PL intensity and peak position, 0.5%Te:(NH4)2SnCl6emerges as a highly promising candidate for non-contact, dual-parameter optical thermometry over an ultra-broad range (100–400 K). This work provides fundamental insights into the exciton dynamics and thermal engineering of optical properties in this material system, establishing its significant potential for advanced temperature-sensing applications.

Atherosclerosis is induced by the persistent inflammation of the arterial wall. The regulation of inflammation through active drugs can mitigate atherosclerotic lesions, but the therapeutic outcome is limited due to its insufficient efficacy and stability. Herein, a PdH-Te nanozyme with excellent reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capability is designed for anti-inflammatory therapy, thereby preventing foam cell formation to alleviate atherosclerosis. As expected, the PdH-Te nanozyme shows outstanding multiple antioxidant enzyme activities and sustained hydrogen release properties. Benefiting from decreased ROS levels by enzyme catalysis, PdH-Te nanozyme significantly suppresses the pro-inflammatory cytokines for atherosclerosis treatment. Taken together, the presented results demonstrate that inhibition of inflammation based on PdH-Te nanozyme can effectively treat atherosclerosis, identifying an attractive strategy against cardiovascular diseases.
