The catalytic direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CO 2 and methanol is a crucial approach to utilizing CO 2 and producing high-value chemicals. However, the high stability of the CO 2 molecule imposes thermodynamic limitations on this reaction pathway, along with challenges related to insufficient catalyst activity and stability. Currently, solutions primarily focus on developing efficient catalyst. Herein, La-doped CeO 2 nanoflower catalysts (La x CeO 2 ) were synthesized via hydrothermal method. Characterization reveals that La doping optimizes the pore structure and enriched oxygen vacancies, thereby enhancing catalytic performance. Notably, La 0.1 CeO 2 exhibits the largest pore size and highest oxygen vacancy content, achieving a remarkable DMC productivity of 9.42 mmol/g under 140 °C, 4 MPa of CO 2 , and 3 h of reaction, surpassing pure CeO 2 nanoflowers. Based on experimental findings and in-situ diffuse infrared Fourier transform analysis, a plausible reaction pathway was proposed. This work underscores the potential of La x CeO 2 nanoflowers as efficient catalysts for sustainable CO 2 conversion to DMC.

Solar water splitting into H2 and O2 upon a particulate photocatalyst relies on significant advances in material engineering where a number of important properties such as optical absorption, charge transportation, defect level, etc. can be manipulated. In this work, we have gained control over these properties for the wide band gap semiconductor Sr2TiO4 and successfully actualized water splitting under visible light illumination. This has been realized by codoping La/N into the laminated perovskite structure of Sr2TiO4. Strong visible light absorption as far as 650 nm can be tailored by varying the La/N content in Sr2–xLaxTiO4–yNy (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5). Optimal photocatalytic H2 and O2 production has been achieved at x = 0.2, 0.3 and outweighs that of a number of typical perovskite oxynitrides. These activities are a function of several important parameters for photogenerated charges (e.g., concentration, mobility, and lifetime) which are all linked to La/N codoping levels. More strikingly, overall water splitting has been achieved at x = 0.2 with Rh/Cr2O3 as a cocatalyst. Defects such as Ti3+ species play a negative role in the photocatalytic activity, as they strongly promote charge recombination and shorten the electron lifetime. Theoretical calculations reveal the crucial role of N in uplifting the valence band maximum of Sr2TiO4 by hybridization with O 2p orbitals. La, therefore, balances the charge discrepancies induced during N/O replacements which would otherwise be unfeasible for substantial doping. Our calculations also suggest that Sr2TiO4 has a 2D charge transportation character which is extremely useful for charge separations.

A series La-doped WO 3 /SrTiO 3 heterojunctions photocatalyst were successfully prepared using solvothermal method . The as-fabricated heterostructures composite included La-doped WO 3 fluff spheres tightly grew on the surface of SrTiO 3 cubic particles. The crystallanity, structural, morphological and optical features of the catalysts were characterized using several techniques including XRD , XPS , SEM, TEM UV−vis and HRTEM. The photocatalytic activity of the heterojunction was evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) under visible-light irradiation. The influence of La doping and SrTiO 3 molar ratio on heterojunctions photocatalysts was investigated. Among the as-prepared photocatalysts, the LWS50 sample exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity , almost 100% MO were completely decomposed within 75 min under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm). Compared with the pure WO 3 and SrTiO 3 , the enhancement of photocatalytic activity was mainly attributed to the three-dimensional hierarchical structure and the effectively transfer and separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs in La doped WO 3 and SrTiO 3 heterojunctions

Graphical The dual-responsive polypyrrole-2,2'-Azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AIPH)@Lauric acid nanoplatform integrates polypyrrole for photothermal therapy and AIPH for thermodynamic therapy, achieving synergistic colorectal cancer treatment. Under near-infrared irradiation, the system enables precise, oxygen-independent radical generation, enhancing tumor inhibition with minimal toxicity. This study highlights the platform's potential for minimally invasive cancer therapy. In this study, we introduce a novel nanoplatform, polypyrrole (PPy)-2,2′-Azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] dihydrochloride (AIPH)@lauric acid (LA) (PPy-AIPH@LA) nanoparticles (NPs), designed to overcome these limitations through synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). This dual-responsive system incorporates PPy for efficient photothermal conversion, AIPH for thermos-responsive and oxygen-independent free radical generation, and LA as a thermally responsive encapsulation layer. The LA coating melts upon 808 nm near-infrared laser irradiation, releasing AIPH and free radicals to enable precise spatiotemporal activation of therapeutic effects. PPy-AIPH@LA demonstrates exceptional photothermal conversion efficiency (55.74%) and generates sufficient radicals to enhance PDT efficacy, even in hypoxic tumor microenvironments. In vitro studies revealed concentration-dependent tumor cell ablation and inhibition of migration, while in vivo experiments showed that the combined PTT-PDT treatment achieved an impressive 90.7% tumor growth inhibition rate in a mouse colon cancer cells CT-26 murine model, with no significant systemic toxicity. Molecular analyses further revealed modulations in pathways associated with tumor metabolism, apoptosis, and immune escape, highlighting the comprehensive therapeutic potential of this nanoplatform. These findings underscore the potential of PPy-AIPH@LA as a safe, effective, and minimally invasive nanotherapeutic platform for combating CRC and other solid tumors.

The naphthalene derivatives in coal tar naphthalene and anthracene oil fractions mostly contain short-chain alkyl groups. The enrichment of PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, mainly including naphthalene, anthracene, and pyrene) by the dealkylation of PAHs-rich fraction in coal tar was assumed to obtain high-purity PAHs by distillation. Based on this strategy, using 2-methylnaphthalene as the model compound, and the influences of catalysts with different supports (SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , ZSM-5, Beta, and HY) and different active metal components (Ni, Co, Mo, and W) prepared by the equivalent-volume impregnation method on the hydro-dealkylation performance of 2-methylnaphthalene under different technological conditions (temperature, H 2 initial pressure and reaction time) were systematically investigated in a pressurized batch reactor. The experimental results show that the conversion rate of 2-methylnaphthalene is 81.23 % and the selectivity of naphthalene is 64.22 % under conditions of 480 °C, 2 MPa, 4 h, and 6 W-HY. Loading 0.8 wt% La on the 6 W-HY catalyst can improve the dispersion of active metal component W on the support, but it does not change the skeleton structure of the support. In addition, one-dimensional diffusion is the most probable reaction mechanism for 2-methylnaphthalene, and the evolution profiles of naphthalene can be reflected by the reaction mechanism with a reaction order of n = 4 using the model fitting method.

The correct classification of strong-flavored crude baijiu affects its quality and overall standard and is crucial for the intelligent development of the baijiu industry. In this work, we developed a novel optical sensing array using lanthanum-doped carbon dots (La-CDs). Using La-CDs with three metal complex dyes—chromium black T, alizarin red, and dimethylphenol orange—we were able to detect organic acids and tannic acid (TA) in crude baijiu in a way that was both colorimetric and fluorescent for the first time. Based on the indicator displacement (IDA) principle, organic acids competitively replace the dyes' binding sites on La 3+ , causing the dye colors to change to varying degrees. TA quenches the fluorescence of quantum dots through an internal filtering effect. We analyzed the data using pattern recognition algorithms such as HCA, PCA, and LDA, successfully classifying and identifying 16 types of strong-flavored crude baijiu, which included 10 types of carboxylic acids and various grades. In blind tests of 32 crude baijiu samples, the colorimetric method achieved a 94 % accuracy rate, while the fluorescence method achieved 100 %. The sensor demonstrates significant advantages in response speed.

The peculiar physical properties of La x Ca 1- x MnO 3 , such as the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition and colossal magnetoresistance, become prominent near the metal-insulator transition temperature (T MI ). Precise control of the T MI is essential for promoting applications in fields like magnetic sensing and magnetic storage, and for advancing fundamental research and material development in emerging areas such as multifunctional heterostructures and complex strongly correlated electronic structures. In this study, La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3 , a composition known for its sharp metal-insulator transition, was selected as the research subject. Using the sol-gel method, we partially substituted the A-site La element with six rare earth elements (Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Er) to investigate the relationship between the T MI , structural parameters, and the type of doping elements. Our results indicate that for a given doping element, the T MI decreases with increasing doping amounts and shows a linear relationship with the average ionic radius of the A-site. Notably, the slope of the linear equation decreases linearly with the reduction in the ionic radius of the doping element. Based on these observations, we proposed a relational formula between the T MI and the ionic radius of the doped element, as well as the average ionic radius of the A-site. Additionally, our formula can estimate the T MI for Sr 2+ doping, which shifts the transition to higher temperatures. These findings reveal the relationship between T MI and crystal structure variations, offering a promising pathway for the design and regulation of T MI in lanthanum-based manganites.

The development of reusable heterogeneous catalysts with acid-base bifunctions employing low-cost oil as a raw material is critical for optimizing the biodiesel synthesis process. In the present study, Sr–La/wollastonite bifunctional catalysts with the different Sr/La atomic ratios are synthesized using a straightforward impregnation technique. The results show that the Sr 7 La 3 /wollastonite catalyst establishes a biodiesel yield of 95.35% upon initial use and 85.14% after the fifth cycle of reuse, under the transesterification conditions of a catalyst content of 8 wt.%, methanol to oil molar ratio of 15, reaction duration of 3 h, and reaction temperature of 150 °C. The biodiesel yield of 91.62% is obtained even after the addition of 5 wt.% oleic acid, and the catalyst maintains a high biodiesel yield (>80%) for three reused cycles, which illustrates the good resistance to free fatty acids (FFAs). Meanwhile, the process parameters for transesterification are optimized utilizing Response Surface Methodology combined with Box-Behnken Design (RSM-BBD). With a methanol to oil molar ratio of 17.7 and a catalyst content of 6.4 wt.%, biodiesel yield is 96.08% at 149 °C for 3 h. This study revealed the enormous potential of the Sr–La/wollastonite bifunctional catalyst in biodiesel production.

Semiconductor photocatalysis is an efficient technique to degrade the pollutants from wastewater. Herein, the doping of elements and the construction of heterojunctions are used to expand the visible light region and improve the transfer of photogenerated electrons-holes. The La-ZnO/BiOCl (LZB) heterojunction has been synthesized via the hydrothermal method. Furthermore, LZB-0.30 heterojunction is found to possess the optimal photodegradation efficiency of 100 % for RhB solution under the visible light within 45 min. Its degradation rate is ten times faster than that of La-ZnO, owing to positive development of photostimulated charge carriers. In addition, the results demonstrate that LZB-0.30, as an ideal photocatalyst, has great potential applications in the treatment of contaminants, providing a feasible strategy for environmental protection.

In this study, a novel Ti/TiO 2 Blue/SnO 2 -Sb@Ni-La (denoted as SnO 2 -Sb@Ni-La(H)) was successfully prepared by hydrothermal method . The fabricated SnO 2 -Sb@Ni-La(H) electrode exhibited the superior electrocatalytic properties: high oxygen evolution potential (2.34 V vs. SCE), low charge transfer resistance (73.4 Ω cm −2 ), and highest degradation efficiency of benzoic acid (BA) ( k BA = 0.112 min −1 ), compared with other electrodes. The degradation rate of BA on the SnO 2 -Sb@Ni-La(H) was 3.6-fold, 4.7-fold, and 7-fold higher than that of SnO 2 -Sb@Ni-La(T), Ti/TiO 2 Blue, and Ti/SnO 2 -Sb, respectively. The study showed that •OH was the main radical contributing to pollutants degradation and the first-order degradation rate of organic pollutants in electrochemical oxidation (EO) process depends on their reactivity towards •OH ( k •OH,OP ), except for the case of methyl orange (MeO). Among the proposed combination methods, the combination of adsorption and electrochemical oxidation (rGO + EO process) exhibited excellent performance: the first-order degradation rate of P-nitrosodimethylaniline ( k RNO ) in (rGO + EO) process increased by 1.42-fold, compared with the EO process alone. This can be explained by the synergy effect from adsorption of RNO on rGO and the degradation of RNO during the EO process. The hydrothermal deposition combined with thermal decomposition can significantly improve the physical and electrochemical oxidation properties of the Ti/TiO 2 Blue/SnO 2 -Sb@Ni-La electrode: k RNO increased by 3.5-fold, compared with that of 1-time deposition by hydrothermal deposition. In addition, the effect of some operating parameters was investigated, including pH, current density, cathode size and distance of electrodes. This study provided a new method to prepare high-performance Ti/TiO 2 Blue/SnO 2 -Sb@Ni-La electrode and proposed some methods to improve the removal efficiency of the pollutants.

Aliovalent substitution is an effective route to design new nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals. Using SrCdSiS 4 as a parent compound, two new infrared NLO lanthanide thiosilicates, namely LnLiSiS 4 (Ln = La and Ce), have been successfully obtained through aliovalent substitution. Interestingly, these compounds exhibit [LiSiS 4 ] 3- layers composed of vertex- and edge-shared LiS 4 and SiS 4 tetrahedra that significantly different from the [LnSiS 4 ] 3- layers composed of edge-shared LnS 6 trigonal prisms (or LnS 7 monocapped trigonal prisms) and SiS 4 tetrahedra in other ALnSiS 4 (A = K, Rb, Cs, Ln = lanthanide) compounds with larger sized alkali cations. LnLiSiS 4 (Ln = La and Ce) also achieve balanced properties for good infrared NLO materials: largest SHG response among all known thiosilicates (2.0 and 2.1 × AgGaS 2 @ 2 μm for LaLiSiS 4 and CeLiSiS 4 respectively) with phase matching ability, high laser induced damage threshold (14 and 9 times of AgGaS 2 ), wide bandgap (3.71 and 2.92 eV), wide infrared transmission range (0.35–18 μm) and good thermal stability above 700 °C. This work not only enriches the structure chemistry of lanthanide thiosilicates, but also provides an efficient route to design new high performance IR NLO materials.

Ferroelectric materials with the typical perovskite structure are widely used in capacitors, ultrasonic devices, oil drilling, transducers, and other fields. Lead-lanthanum-zirconium-titanate ceramics co-doped with Sn and Ba , have been widely investigated. However, there is little attention has been focused on the dielectric properties of barium-lanthanum-zirconium-titanate. Thus, in this work, Sn doped Ba 0.955 La 0.03 Zr 0.02 Ti 0.98 O 3 ferroelectric ceramics were prepared via a classical high-temperature solid state reaction. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the surface appearance of ceramics. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns at room temperature, indicate that the ceramics are well crystallized. Impedance properties and dielectric properties reflect the characteristic of typical high temperature dielectric relaxation behavior. The conductive activation energy and the relaxation activation energy are obtained through the calculation of the Arrhenius law. The fitting results show that the dielectric relaxation behavior at high-temperature, was related to the oxygen defect. The electrical modulus verified the partial short-range carrier migration, also contribute to the high-temperature dielectric properties.
