Multiple nanocrystalline rare-earth hexaborides La1−xBaxB6 have been synthesized via a single step solid-state reaction. The Ba doping effects on crystal structure, grain morphology, magnetic and optical absorption properties were investigated using XRD, FESEM, HRTEM, SQUID magnetometry and optical measurements. The results show that all the Ba-doped hexaborides crystallize in the CsCl-type single phase, indicating the Ba atoms occupied the lattice sites of LaB6. The optical absorption results indicate that the absorption valleys of LaB6 are red-shifted from 622 nm to 780 nm when the Ba doping content increases to x = 0.8. The first-principle calculation results reveal that Ba doping reduces the total kinetic energy of the electrons of LaB6, which lead to the absorption valleys moving toward a higher wavelength. Meanwhile, the band gap of BaB6 obtained from optical absorption is in good agreement with the theoretical calculation results. The magnetic measurements results showed that Ba doping lead to room-temperature ferromagnetism of LaB6 due to the different ionic radii of La3+ and Ba2+ causing intrinsic crystal defects, which is directly observed experimentally by HRTEM. This is the first time that we have found the tunable optical and ferromagnetic behavior of Ba doped nanocrystalline LaB6. Thus, nanocrystalline La1−xBaxB6, as multi-functional materials, should open up a new route to extend the optical and magnetic applications of LaB6 nanopowder.

Flame propagation characteristics of wood dust deflagration and suppression mechanism of ultrafine powders are investigated systematically. The deflagration reaction intensity of wood dust increases firstly and then decreases with the increase in dust cloud concentration. This is due to factors such as oxygen supply, positive feedback among flame characteristic parameters. Thus, there is an equivalent dust concentration for greatest deflagration intensity. Nano-sized ultrafine zirconium hydroxide (Zr(OH) 4 ) and silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) powder are introduced to suppress wood dust deflagration at the equivalent concentration. It is found that Zr(OH) 4 has a suppression effect of endothermic decomposition to generate zirconia (ZrO 2 ), dilution of oxygen and absorption of free radicals; while SiO 2 exerts suppression effect due to its high melting point and heat absorption. The suppression performance of Zr(OH) 4 is better than that of SiO 2 . This is because that Zr(OH) 4 and ZrO 2 have a catalytic carbonization effect. It can not only improve thermal stability of wood particles by catalyzing production of high-temperature resistant residuals, but also promote the formation of catalytic sites to reduce crystallite size of carbon layer on wood particles surface, weakening heat and mass transfer between particles.

Three-dimensional (3D) graphene-based porous materials with a combination of low density, superelasticity , excellent mechanical resilience and tunable functionalities can be used in diverse applications. Here we report an approach of fabricating the stable and flexible 3D graphene aerogel materials with tunable functionality via a general silane-assisted processing that maintains an effective control of the chemistry, architecture and functionality of these porous structures. Simultaneous reduction and functionalization were achieved under both a low temperature and a low graphene oxide concentration in aqueous solution via using a facile one-step co-assembly method. The introduction of silane bonding tailors both the porous microstructure and the surface property of the lightweight aerogel effectively, subsequently providing improved mechanical properties and versatile functionalities including super compressive elasticity, outstanding cyclic resilient property, good electrical conductivity , stable viscoelastic properties, high level energy absorption capacity, excellent hydrophobicity , remarkable thermal stability and extremely high sensitivity of elasticity-dependent electrical conductivity. This opens up scalable and low-cost ways to the integration of microscopic two-dimensional graphene sheets into macroscopic 3D graphene aerogel materials, thus providing the possibility of fabricating novel lightweight porous aerogel materials with controllable functionalities and reversible compressibility for applications in numerous fields.

The novel kind of charge-transfer porphyrin complexes with symmetrical and asymmetrical side groups were synthesized by the high-yielding [2 + 2] click chemistry reaction involved a two-step procedure. Both electrochemical and UV–vis studies were characterized and proved that the side groups of the porphyrin complexes played an important role on optical properties and energy gaps. The novel series did show the narrower band gap and broader absorption in the visible and near infrared region. As the side groups, the click moieties also affected the third-order nonlinear optical responses, and all the compounds exhibited the expected nonlinear optical properties which were affected by the chemical structures . The optical-limiting performance had also been studied, which was in agreement with the result of Z-scan experiments.

Mixed-valence states can bring unexpected unique phenomena, especially novel anisotropic physics, due to structural asymmetry, which originate from the discrepant distribution of atoms with different valence. This study reports an unexploited mixed-valence-driven quasi-1D Sn II Sn IV S 3 crystal, which exhibits widely and distinctively anisotropic polarized-light absorption reaching ≈3.4 from the deep ultraviolet to near-infrared region (250–850 nm). The fabricated polarization-sensitive photodetectors based on highly air-stable Sn II Sn IV S 3 nanowires display strong linear dichroism among the UV–vis–NIR spectrum with responsivity exceeding ≈150 A W −1 . Furthermore, the devices are further constructed onto a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate and the photoresponse remains roughly unchanged after repeated bending. This work based on novel mixed-valence-driven quasi-1D ternary sulfide Sn II Sn IV S 3 excites interest in low-symmetry semiconductors for developing broadly spectral polarization-sensitive photodetectors with environmental stability and mechanical flexibility.

Strontium ferrites/graphene (SrFe12O19/G) composites were synthesized by a facile one-step surfactant assisted hydrothermal method. The structure, magnetic properties and electromagnetic parameters of the as-prepared composites were evaluated. Uniform SrFe12O19 nanoparticles with a diameter of 60–70 nm were well distributed on the graphene. The formation of SrFe12O19 nanoparticles and the reduction of graphene oxide were accomplished simultaneously. The re-stacking of graphene sheets and the aggregation of SrFe12O19 nanoparticles were inhibited. The as-obtained composites exhibited better absorbing properties than the pristine SrFe12O19 particles due to the synergistic effect of SrFe12O19 and graphene. The minimum reflection loss (RL) of SrFe12O19/G composites with the thickness of 3 mm reached −34.8 dB at 13.6 GHz, and the effective absorption bandwidth (RL < −10 dB) was 5.7 GHz. However, the minimum RL of the SrFe12O19 particles only reached −13.5 dB, and the effective absorption bandwidth was 4.6 GHz. A possible mechanism for the enhanced absorbing performance was proposed.

A new method for synthesizing freestanding PbS-CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 (MAPI) core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) with enhanced light absorption and photoelectric properties was reported. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) analysis confirmed the core-shell structure of the obtained sample. The Vis-NIR spectra proved the core-shell sample absorbed light both in visible and near infrared region . For comparison, oleic acid/oleylamine molecule capping PbS NPs, MAPI molecule capping PbS NPs, and PbS-MAPI core-shell NPs were used to fabricate Schottky solar cells. PbS-MAPI core-shell NPs based solar cells delivered a photocurrent response from both the PbS and MAPI, and achieved the highest overall PCE.

The quaternary chalcogenides consisting of earth-abundant elements such as Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) have promising electrical and optical properties prompting enormous technological interest. Understanding different types of defects including Cu/Zn ordering is believed to be the key point to tackle technological challenges such as a large open circuit voltage deficit in CZTSe. The Te doped Cu2.2Zn0.8SnSe4−xTex (x = 0.01–0.04) were investigated using X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy at the Cu, Zn, and Se K-edges as well as at the Te L3-edge. Cu at the zinc site with anti-site defects and oxygen interstitials are identified. The detailed electronic structure upon Te doping is studied, providing insights into the rich defect chemistry present in this compound.

Herein, excellent UV-absorbing poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes were fabricated through the pre-irradiation induced graft polymerization method. The PVDF chains irradiated with 60 Co γ -ray were modified with the polymerizable UV absorber 2-[2-hydroxy-5-[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]phenyl]-2 H -benzotriazole (RUVA-93). The influences of irradiation dose and monomer concentration on the prepared PVDF-g-PRUVA-93 membranes were investigated, and the optimal condition was eventually obtained. The chemical structures of the films were studied by 1 H-NMR, FTIR, and XRD. UV light transmittance and DSC tests were used to characterize the UV-absorbing performance and thermal property of the PVDF films before and after modification. The results proved that the PRUVA-93 side chains were successfully incorporated into the PVDF main chains and the obtained PVDF- g -PRUVA-93 films possessed remarkable UV-absorbing property. The modified membrane made under the optimized experiment condition could completely block the UV light in the range of 200−387 nm. Additionally, the transmittance of the PVDF- g -PRUVA-93 film could be reduced to 0.04% in 280−320 nm, where the light irradiation could damage polymer materials most seriously.

High-performance organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are of great scientific and technological importance due to their potential large-scale industrial applications. Introducing semiconductor quantum dots has been proven to be an effective way to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of OPVs. In this paper, we report a novel approach to fabricate atomically thin antimonene quantum sheets (AMQSs) possessing a uniform size (≈2.2 nm) via imidazolium ionic liquid-assisted exfoliation. In this method, the yield of AMQSs (1.1 mg mL−1) has been increased by nearly two orders of magnitude compared with that of previously reported methods. Furthermore, upon adding AMQSs into the light absorber in OPVs, the optimal device with 1.0 mg mL−1 AMQSs shows the highest PCE of 9.75%, resulting in over 25% enhancement in PCE compared to that of the reference device. It also leads to a noticeable enhancement in the short-circuit current density (Jsc) of 16.7% and the fill factor (FF) of 8.4%. The increased PCE is mainly due to the two-dimensional electronic structure of AMQSs that can enhance the light absorption, assist exciton dissociation and reduce charge recombination of OPVs. This work provides a new avenue toward mass production of two-dimensional quantum sheets and points to a new strategy for highly efficient OPVs.

Developing high–efficient microwave absorbing (MA) materials with anti–corrosion (AC) properties to tackle the harsh hygrothermal marine conditions remains a challenge. Herein, we employed catalytic chemical vapor deposition and the Stöber technique to fabricate gradient multilayer interface–coupled FeNi@C@SiO 2 composites, guided by the hetero–interface engineering. The resulting composites exhibited exceptional MA properties and AC behavior. Specifically, they showcased a remarkable effective absorption bandwidth of 6.27 GHz at 1.40 mm, outperforming that of FeNi (3.80 GHz). This improved bandwidth was attributed to the electron conduction pathway provided by the C layer, which facilitated electron migration and hopping. The C@SiO 2 layer, containing defects and –OH functional groups, induced abundant dipole polarization and optimizes the impedance matching of FeNi. Furthermore, the RCS reduction value of FeNi@C@SiO 2 could reach 16.73 dB·m 2 . Moreover, the corrosion rate of FeNi@C@SiO 2 was 7.48 × 10 −11 m/s, significantly lower than that of FeNi (1.29 × 10 −10 m/s). This reduction was primarily due to the intrinsic inertness and impermeability of the C@SiO 2 layer, effectively isolating the corrosive medium from the substrate. This investigation presents a novel point of reference for the advancement of bifunctional MA materials intended to cope with extreme environments.

A novel high oil-absorbing crosslinked gel was synthesized by copolymerization of butyl methacrylate (BMA) with a small amount of pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA) crosslinker using single electron transfer-living radical polymerization (SET–LRP) initiated with carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) and catalyzed by Cu(0)/hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The polymerization followed first-order kinetics as indicated by linear increase of monomer concentration with reaction time. Effects of reaction temperature, crosslinker, initiator, and catalyst on the oil-absorbing properties of the crosslinked gel were investigated in detail. The oil absorptions of the crosslinked gel to chloroform, toluene could reach 51.9, 34.5 g/g, respectively. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2012
