Efficient removal of low-concentration ammonia from chlorinated wastewater is a challenge for decentralized wastewater treatment due to its notorious environmental effect and lethal influence on aquaculture. Photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) oxidation process is considered as an efficient and environment–friendly approach, whereas a low-cost and stable photoanode is crucial. In this study, TiO 2 nanotubes (TNTs) photoanode (Ar–TNT–500 °C) with excellent physicochemical and photoelectrochemical properties was prepared by optimizing the parameters of anodization, including the voltage/times of anodization and the atmosphere/temperature of heat treatment. During the synthesis, the electrochemical and heat treatment processes promoted the formation of oxygen vacancies (O V ) on the TNTs surface and enhanced its electrocatalytic activity. The optimized Ar–TNT–500 °C photoanode could selectively convert ammonia to N 2 (86%) and a small amount of nitrate (14%). Radical quenching and probe experiments confirmed that the ClO produced by rapid quenching of OH and Cl by free chlorine dominated the selective degradation of ammonia in the synergistic process of photocatalysis and electrocatalysis. The cycle of chlorine-based radicals (ClO and Cl ) and Cl − provided a continuous and efficient ammonia oxidation system, because chlorine-based radicals could efficiently and selectively oxidize ammonia and reduce the production of toxic (per) chlorate.

Perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) are ideal for optical devices due to their adjustable emission band and high photoluminescence. However, blue light-emitting perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) exhibit poor performance compared to their green and red-emitting PNC counterparts. Herein, we introduce a simple strategy for increasing the stability of blue light-emitting CsPb (Br/Cl)3 PNCs passivated with an Al-doped CdSe layer. This simple strategy successfully achieves highly stable PNCs with photoluminescence (PL) emission ranging from 454 to 460 nm with a full width at half-maximum (FWHM) ranging from 18 to 22 nm; changes in bandgaps are also observed, and the corresponding PLQY values show a significant change after CdSe/Al modification. In addition, CsPb (Br/Cl)3 PNCs with a CdSe layer doped with Al formed on the surface show remarkable stability under ambient conditions, including thermal exposure, water resistance, and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. A light-emitting diode (LED) device was constructed to demonstrate the feasibility of the approach by combining the optimal CsPb(Br/Cl)3/CdSe/Al PNCs with an existing commercial 365 nm UV chip, resulting in bright blue light emission with CIE color coordinates of (0.16, 0.09). All of the findings suggest that doped CsPb (Br/Cl)3/CdSe/Al PNCs have the potential to be used as color converters in liquid crystal displays (LCDs).

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.

The solid–liquid phase equilibria of the Li+, Na+, Ca2+//Cl––H2O quaternary system at 298.15 and 323.15 K are studied via the isothermal solubility phase equilibrium method. The solubility data and liquid properties of density and pH are obtained. The phase diagrams of the quaternary systems, including the water free diagram, the water diagram, and the dry salt diagram, are plotted to show the phase regions, water content, and salting-in effect. NaCl occupies the largest phase region at both 298.15 and 323.15 K. One double salt LiCl·CaCl2·5H2O occurs at 298.15 K and builds up two invariant points; one incommensurate invariant point saturated by (NaCl, LiCl·H2O, LiCl·CaCl2·5H2O) and one commensurate invariant point saturated by (NaCl, CaCl2·4H2O, LiCl·CaCl2·5H2O), but at 323.15 K, no double salt forms. The salting-in effect that happened in ternary systems still occurs in the quaternary Li+, Na+, Ca2+// Cl––H2O system at both temperatures. NaCl saturated concentration increases with LiCl and CaCl2 contents and results in a very high total salt content at commensurate invariant points, e.g., they are 56.92 and 60.62% at 298.15 and 323.15 K, respectively.

Balancing large birefringence with ultraviolet (UV) transparency remains a central challenge in the development of birefringent crystals. Herein, we report two Sb(III)-based hypophosphites, Sb(H2PO2)2Cl and Sb(H2PO2)2F, and comparatively investigate their crystal structures and optical properties. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that Sb(H2PO2)2Cl crystallizes in a wave-like two-dimensional (2D) layered structure, whereas Sb(H2PO2)2F adopts a 1D chain structure. Optical measurements reveal that Sb(H2PO2)2F exhibits a markedly enhanced birefringence of 0.205 at 546 nm, compared with 0.055 for Sb(H2PO2)2Cl, in good agreement with DFT-calculated values of 0.211 and 0.041, respectively. Meanwhile, Sb(H2PO2)2F retains a wide band gap of 4.81 eV and a short UV cutoff edge of 258 nm, indicating a favorable balance between optical anisotropy and UV transparency. Further structure–property analysis suggests that the enhanced birefringence of the fluoride is closely associated with the more favorable orientational efficiency of the stereochemically active lone pair on Sb3+. These results demonstrate that halogen substitution is an effective approach for tuning optical anisotropy in UV-transparent Sb(III)-based hypophosphites.

Facile detection of malachite green (MG), a toxic dye, in aquaculture is urgently demanded for environment and food safety. Herein, we design a novel fluorescent probe, namely red emissive Se,N,Cl-doped carbon dots (CDs), to accurately determinate MG. CDs are prepared by hydrothermal treatment of selenourea and o-phenylenediamine in HCl solution. This material exhibits excitation-independent dual emissions at 625 and 679 nm, with a high quantum yield of 23.6%. A selective and sensitive fluorescent sensor toward MG is established based on inner filter effect, because both the excitation and emission light of CDs can be strongly absorbed by MG. The fluorescence quenching of CDs is linear to the MG concentration over the range of 0.07–2.50 μM with a low detection limit of 21 nM. Trace-level analysis of MG in fish tissue is successfully explored, demonstrating the great potential of the proposed sensor for MG monitoring in aquatic products.

The four-step Cu–Cl thermochemical hydrogen production cycle can effectively convert heat energy into hydrogen energy, and the thermolysis reaction is the key stage for connecting the upstream and downstream reactions. This study focused on the influence of different upstream hydrolysates (Cu2OCl2 or CuO) on thermolysis and the different reaction mechanisms. The micromorphological changes during the reaction process, the specific information on the precipitated gases, and the effect of temperature and reaction time on the main and byproducts were analyzed. The results showed that the maximum CuCl yields of 84.58 and 82.26% were obtained from the thermolysis of Cu2OCl2 and CuCl2–CuO equimolar mixtures. During the reaction, both reaction feedstocks shrink and then melt and start to precipitate O2 at 430 and 415 °C, respectively. For the thermolysis of CuCl2–CuO mixtures, an excess of CuCl2 contributes to the main reaction. Finally, the complex reaction mechanism of thermolysis and product regulation was revealed.

The energetic performance of hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) was modulated with two energetic coordination polymers (ECPs), [Cu(ANQ)2(NO3)2] and [Ni(CHZ)3](ClO4)2, in this study by a two-step method. First, tannic acid polymerized in situ on the surface of CL-20 crystals. Then, [Cu(ANQ)2(NO3)2] and [Ni(CHZ)3](ClO4)2 were hydrothermally formed on the surface of CL-20/TA, respectively. Explosion performance tests show that the impact sensitivity of the coated structure CL-20/TA/[Cu(ANQ)2(NO3)2] is 58% less than that of CL-20 with no energy decrease. On the other hand, CL-20/TA/[Ni(CHZ)3](ClO4)2 can be initiated by a low laser energy of 107.3 mJ (Nd:YAG, 1064 nm, 6.5 ns pulse width), whereas CL-20 cannot be initiated by even 4000 mJ laser energy. This study shows that it is feasible to modify the performance of CL-20 by introducing energetic CPs with certain properties, like high energy insensitive, laser-sensitive, etc., which could be a prospective method for designing high energy insensitive energetic materials in the future.

Metal-halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are considered to be promising types of optoelectronic and photonic materials. The emission colors of the cesium lead halide perovskite (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, I) NCs depend on the joint influence of the emission peaks of the host and its dopant ions. Herein, we report a phosphine-free strategy to synthesize Mn-doped CsPb(Cl/Br)3 NCs to tune their optical properties in a wide color gamut. Colloidal Mn-doped CsPb(Cl/Br)3 NCs were synthesized by injecting Cs-oleate solution into the MnCl2 and PbBr2 precursor solution. The as-prepared Mn-doped CsPb(Cl/Br)3 NCs are highly crystalline and uniform sized nanocubes with two emission peaks, including the host emission around 450 nm and the Mn2+ dopant emission around 600 nm, which are sensitive to the MnCl2-to-PbBr2 molar feed ratio and the reaction temperature. By varying the MnCl2-to-PbBr2 molar feed ratio or the reaction temperature, the relative PL intensities of dual color emission can be manipulated, showing their ability in tunable color output.

This study addresses antibiotic water pollution by synthesizing Zr-doped Bi₂₄O₃₁Cl₁₀ (Bi₂₄(₁₋ₓ)Zr₁₈ₓO₃₁Cl₁₀) photocatalysts via hydrothermal method for tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) removal. Zr doping ratios (6–14%) were systematically investigated, with the optimal BZOC4 (12% Zr) degrading 91.24% of 20 mg/L TC-HCl within 120 min under 500 W xenon lamp irradiation (pH = 9). Its reaction rate constant (0.0239 min −1 ) is triple that of pristine Bi₂₄O₃₁Cl₁₀. Zr doping reduces the band gap from 3.12 eV to 2.8 eV, improves visible light utilization (absorption edge red-shifted to 525 nm), accelerates electron transfer, and reduces e − /h + recombination—supported by UV –Vis DRS, PL, and electrochemical tests. Superoxide radicals (O₂ − ·) and holes (h + ) are primary active species, confirmed by radical trapping and ESR. TOC analysis confirms 32.4% mineralization of TC-HCl to CO₂ and H₂O.This work offers new design strategies for bismuth halide-based photocatalysts in antibiotic remediation by integrating structural regulation and electronic modulation via Zr doping.

Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) is a high-energy explosive widely used in composite explosives and propellants, but its application is severely limited by thermally induced ε-to-γ polymorphic transition and high solubility in nitrate ester solvents. The transition reduces energy density and increasing sensitivity, and the solubility causes dissolution-recrystallization defects (e.g., voids, compositional inhomogeneities) during long-term storage. To address these issues while preserving its high energetic performance, this study developed a polydopamine@polyvinylidene fluoride (PDA@PVDF) dual-coating strategy, fabricating CL-20 composite particles with a core-shell structure. In-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) results confirmed that the ε-to-γ phase transition temperature of CL-20 increased from 110 °C (pristine CL-20) to 140 °C. Meanwhile, the CL-20@PDA@9%PVDF sample exhibited the lowest solubility and the best solvent resistance, and the solubility of CL-20 in nitrate ester solvents was drastically reduced from 0.229 g/100 g to 0.026 g/100 g, an 88.6% decrease, effectively enhancing its structural and solvent resistance stability. For energetic performance, when mixed with aluminum powder at a 7:3 mass ratio, the CL-20@PDA@9%PVDF/Al composite achieved a combustion heat of 8275 J/g, 8.7% higher than that of the unmodified Al/CL-20 system (7611 J/g). Combustion pressure tests showed that although the modified system exhibited slightly lower initial peak pressure and pressure rise rate due to dilute CL-20 content from inert coatings, it presented a unique "delayed enhancement" effect, with pressure gradually surpassing and ultimately exceeding that of the unmodified system in the middle and late combustion stages, enabling more sustained high-pressure output. This work realizes the synergistic optimization of CL-20’s polymorphic/solvent stability and energetic performance, providing a feasible and scalable approach for the practical application of CL-20 in advanced energetic systems.

Rechargeable metal–chlorine (Li/Na–Cl2) batteries potentially have a high energy density, but the significant amount of electrolyte consumed to produce active metal chlorides for reversible chlorine conversion severely limits their real electrochemical performance. Herein, we use a cathode with precast metal chloride in the graphene layers as the initial active material to save the sacrificial electrolyte and deliver a fundamentally different start-up operation mode for metal–chlorine batteries. Furthermore, the metal chloride confined by the graphene layers achieves in situ confining conversion with gaseous chlorine during long cycling, causing substantially improved cathode kinetics in a lean electrolyte. With this cathode, both Li/Na–Cl2 batteries demonstrate higher capacity and prolonged cycling performance. Typically, the obtained Na–Cl2 batteries could deliver a high areal capacity (3 mAh cm–2) and stable life over 300 cycles under lean electrolyte conditions (20–60 μL). This work demonstrates the practical significance of utilizing a graphene interlayer to confine metal chloride as an initial active material for rechargeable alkali-metal-Cl2 batteries.
