Realizing the balance between high energy density and multifunctionality of energetic materials is a hot spot in current research, and its study is of great significance for the application of energetic materials. Regulating microstructure is widely recognized as an effective strategy for solving such problems. In this paper, four different microstructures of Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane(CL-20)/1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene(FOX-7) composite microspheres, namely, hollow, porous irregular microspheres, porous microspheres, and layered porous microspheres, were prepared by microchannel recrystallization technology. The effects of crystal precipitation rate, binder mechanical properties, and purity of water phase on the microstructure of composite microspheres were systematically investigated. The four prepared samples were spherical particles with regular morphology and uniform particle size. The angle of repose and mechanical sensitivity tests showed that the CL-20/FOX-7 composite microspheres had good dispersibility and mechanical sensitivity. Ignition experiments show that hollow microspheres have the best energy release efficiency, while porous microspheres have higher energy density and more stable energy release efficiency. The results show that the combustion performance and safety of the composite microspheres can be effectively enhanced by adjusting the microstructure. Microchannel recrystallization technology can realize the controllable preparation of the microstructure of composite microspheres, which provides a reference for the design and preparation of other composite microspheres.

Regulating the structure of energetic materials to enhance safety performance has become a hot topic for researchers in recent years. This study prepared spherical co-aggregated CL-20/HMX with controllable microstructure using a combination of microfluidic and self-assembly strategies within a modular micro-reaction system. The morphology and agglomeration structures of CL-20/HMX particles were investigated with different mixing plates, solvent/nonsolvent flow rate ratio, and solvent content. Spherical co-aggregated CL-20/HMX co-crystals were prepared under optimized conditions, and the formation mechanism was analyzed. The impact of the spherical aggregation structure on the thermal properties and mechanical sensitivity was thoroughly studied. The results indicate that the spherical co-aggregated CL-20/HMX was assembled from lamellar nanoparticles, controlling CL-20 crystal morphology at the molecular level. CL-20/HMX co-aggregated microspheres exhibit higher mechanical safety and thermal stability than conventional reaction samples and physical mixing samples. Combining spherical aggregation structures and a microfluidic approach enhances thermal decomposition stability and improves safety. This research offers a novel strategy for developing and fabricating other energetic materials.

Pyrolysis presents a promising pathway for the chemical recycling of waste plastics. However, the pyrolysis of chlorine-containing plastics can generate hazardous chlorinated compounds. Therefore, it is critical to investigate the migration, transformation, and removal of chlorine during pyrolysis to enable environmentally sustainable recycling. In this study, we combined kinetic analysis with in-situ FTIR and TG-FTIR-MS to elucidate the mechanisms of chlorine migration and transformation during the pyrolysis of chlorinated mixed plastics (CMPs). An efficient dechlorination process using calcium-based additives was also developed. The results indicate that the pyrolysis of CMPs occurs in two distinct stages (Stage Ⅰ and Stage Ⅱ), with average apparent activation energies (Ea) of 166.69 kJ/mol and 243.86 kJ/mol, respectively. The process followed mechanism functions involving diffusion, nucleation, and phase boundary reactions. Initially, weak C–Cl and C–H bonds ruptured preferentially, releasing HCl. This was followed by synergistic cleavage of the main C–C chains, generating radicals such as methyl (·CH₃), butyl (·C₄H₉), propylene (·C₃H₅), and phenyl (·C₆H₅). The combination of these radicals with free chlorine radicals (·Cl) resulted in the formation of diverse and complex chlorinated organic compounds. For dechlorination, Ca(OH)₂ was identified as the optimal calcium-based additive, achieving a chlorine removal efficiency of 97.75 %, attributed to its self-decomposition behavior. This study clarifies the transformation pathways of chlorinated pollutants during pyrolysis and proposes a practical calcium-based dechlorination strategy to support sustainable chlorine management in the valorization of plastic waste.

Long-wave infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals hold great promise for extensive applications. However, IR NLO crystals with outstanding comprehensive optical and NLO performances are still in great demand. Herein, two Hg-based chalcogenides, Hg3AsS4Cl and Hg3AsS4Br, are synthesized via a chemical vapor transport technique. Attributed to the synergistic combination of [HgS3] groups and structurally aligned [AsS3] groups with lone pair electrons, the two compounds exhibit superior NLO performance, encompassing strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) effects, tremendous birefringence, and a broad transparency range, positioning them as promising long-wave IR NLO materials. Moreover, the luminescent performances of the two compounds are also investigated, revealing interesting ultraviolet (UV) region luminescence emissions, broad emission bands, and large Stokes shifts for potential luminescent applications.

Petal bismuth salt semiconductors are promising as visible-light-driven photocatalysts, but their short service times due to strong oxidation limit their application. In this research, the in situ construction of a p–n heterojunction, by growing BiOX on a KBiO3 surface, is used as a strategy to improve the performance and stability. Evaluation of the photocatalytic degradation of crystal violet and phenol shows that the KBiO3/BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I) heterostructures exhibit significant improvement in photocatalytic performance and stability compared to KBiO3. The best one, KBiO3/(5.85%) BiOI, shows 98% degradation of crystal violet within 20 min, and of phenol within 1.5 h. No significant performance decay can be detected after repeated use. The development of KBiO3/BiOX heterostructure improves the applicability of KBiO3 as an efficient visible-light-driven photocatalyst.

[diOTMG]Cl@Zr-bptc porous liquid (PL) was successfully prepared. • PL enhanced succinic acid yield 8.71-fold compared to organic amine. • 99.98% pure succinic acid was obtained by PL extraction and crystallization. • Carboxylic acids are separated via affinity and molecular size differences. Global environmental deterioration and plastic pollution drive the demand for biodegradable polymers, which rely on ultrapure monomer, such as succinic acid (SA). However, current bio-SA purification suffers from low purity (94–98%) and complex multistep processes due to similar affinity of homologues. Here, we introduce a type III porous liquid (PL) composed of ionic liquid [diOTMG]Cl and metal-organic framework Zr-bptc for SA purification, achieving 99.98 ± 0.01 wt% SA purity with 84.15% yield after crystallization. This represents an 8.71-fold yield increase in yield and 6.55-fold improvement in selectivity over tri-n-octylamine. Laboratory-scale assessment confirms the PL solution as a sustainable process. Mechanistically, carboxylic acids are extracted synergistically through hydrogen bonding/anion exchange, while Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations showed selective adsorption of acetic acid in Zr-bptc pores. Weak interactions and kinetic size sieving ensure high SA purity. This PL provides an efficient solution for producing polymer-grade monomers, addressing the long-standing challenge in fermented homologue separation.

Systematic Br/Cl doping in 2D perovskite TMPI establishes a detailed composition-property database. • Optimal Cl doping (I: Cl = 4:1) enhances solar modulation ability ( Δτsol ) to 27.7%. • Br doping effectively reduces the transition temperature of 2D perovskite to near 40 °C for practical use. • First-principles calculations reveal that water adsorption energy governs transition properties. Buildings account for a large portion of global energy consumption, driving the need for smart windows that can dynamically regulate solar heat. Two-dimensional (2D) thermochromic perovskites offer promising stability, but their practical application is limited by high transition temperatures and modest solar modulation ability. Here, we employ halide engineering via systematic Br/Cl doping in the 2D perovskite Tha 2 MAPbI 4 (TMPI) to optimize these key properties. A systematic Br/Cl doping was conducted in TMPI and established a detailed composition-property database. It is found that optimal Cl doping (I: Cl = 4:1) enhances the solar modulation ability ( Δτ sol ) to 27.7%, while Br doping effectively lowers the transition temperature to near 40 °C. Most importantly, a High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HRTEM) was employed to characterize the crystallization of 2D perovskites with different halogen dopants, providing the first atomic-scale observation of lattice fringes and SAED patterns in thermochromic metal halide perovskites and revealing the doping-dependent crystallinity evolution. Moreover, first-principles calculations reveal that enhanced water adsorption energy on doped perovskite surfaces governs the reduced transition temperature and faster response kinetics. A real-world model house demonstration confirms the superior cooling performance of the optimized smart window. This work provides not only high-performance material candidates but also a fundamental mechanistic framework for developing energy-efficient, responsive smart windows.

Halide solid-state electrolytes (HSSEs), exemplified by low-cost Li 2 ZrCl 6 , exhibit high ionic conductivity and a wide electrochemical stability window, making them promising for all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Yet, optimizing HSSEs by elemental doping is either inefficient or costly, necessitating alternative approaches. Inspired by the filler-modified LiI-Al 2 O 3 system with fast-conductive interfacial percolation layer (IPL) and with regard to the underlying insufficient interfacial filler/electrolyte contact with Li 2 ZrCl 6 matrix, which hinders the IPL formation, the use of transition metal oxide Fe 2 O 3 is pioneered as a filler to generate oxygen vacancies and foster benign filler/electrolyte interfaces. At the Fe 2 O 3 /electrolyte interface, synchrotron X-ray adsorption spectra and electron energy loss spectra mapping reveal a distinctive O-Cl exchange reaction and improved interfacial contact. Density function theory, bond-valence site energy calculations, and finite-element simulations validate improved Li + migration via mitigated electrostatic confinement, reduced migration energy barriers, and spatially confined electric-field-accelerated IPLs. Benefiting from these merits, the ionic conductivity of the composite electrolyte surges from 0.4 to 2.15 mS cm −1 , with Li + migration activation energy reduced to 0.28 eV. Paired with the NCM811 cathode, the ASSB delivers 90% capacity retention over 1000 cycles at 0.5 C. This work offers a novel, cost-effective strategy for high-performance halide-oxide composite electrolytes from the counterintuitive perspective of nanofiller integration.

Dual-excitation N, Cl-CDs are synthesized for ratiometric RIF sensing. • Ratiometric detection of RIF is achieved with a detection limit of 58 nM. • The sensing mechanism involves synergistic IFE and FRET. • A smartphone integrated finger-actuated microfluidic device enables on-site visual RIF detection. • The platform exhibits satisfactory recovery in aquatic product samples. The increasing environmental prevalence of the antibiotic rifampicin (RIF) poses potential hazards to public health and ecological stability. Herein, a novel ratiometric assay is established by utilizing the dual-excitation nitrogen and chlorine co-doped carbon dots (N, Cl-CDs) for the quantification of trace amounts of RIF. Benefiting from the synergistic effects of the inner filter effect and Förster resonance energy transfer, the N, Cl-CDs act as a sensitive nanoprobe for RIF detection over a concentration range of 0.058–35 μM, with a detection limit of 58 nM. Furthermore, a novel finger-actuated microfluidic sensing platform has been developed through the integration of N, Cl-CDs. By combining the dual-excitation property of the probe with a smartphone-based RGB readout, the platform achieves on-site and visual quantification of RIF in real samples, as validated by high recovery rates ranging from 98.8% to 101.0%. Therefore, this work offers an innovative strategy for RIF sensing and establishes a versatile platform boasting prominent prospects for on-site food safety monitoring.

Dichloromethane (DCM), a widely used industrial solvent, represents a primary anthropogenic source of chlorine-containing volatile organic compounds (Cl-VOCs). The adsorption of DCM is usually impeded by the irregular pore structure of commercial activated carbon. To address this limitation, this study developed Fe 3+ modified zeolite-templated carbons (ZTC) for DCM removal at ambient temperature. Comprehensive characterization through BET, XRD, Raman, SEM, TG/DTG, XPS, and NH 3 -TPD confirmed the uniform distribution of Fe 3+ within the ZTC pore channels and revealed its significant impact on surface functional groups and acid sites. The optimized 3 % Fe@ZTC adsorbent demonstrated markedly enhanced performance, achieving a DCM adsorption capacity of 227.9 mg·g −1 at 25 °C. Furthermore, it exhibited excellent regenerability, maintaining 70.2 % of its initial capacity after three regeneration cycles at 500 °C. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations provided mechanistic insights, showing that Fe 3+ modification substantially increased the adsorption energy from 0.90 eV on raw ZTC to 3.56 eV on Fe@ZTC. This enhancement was attributed to uniform Fe 3+ doping, which created hard acid sites that strongly interacted with the hard base site (Cl) of DCM molecules, facilitating Fe-Cl bond formation and substantial charge transfer. This work presents a viable strategy for developing efficient adsorbents for DCM removal from industrial waste gases.

Construction of homogeneous polymer ion-exchange membranes (IEMs) with suitable ion transport channels and stable structures is crucial to the separation of mono-/multi-valent anions. Amphoteric ion-exchange membrane (AIEM) is a special type of IEM that possesses unique properties due to the presence of both anion exchange groups and cation exchange groups. In this work, we have grafted 1-bromoheptane and 3-bromopropanesulfonate onto the poly(aryl ether sulfone) chain through nucleophilic substitution reactions. Unlike the IEM attaching different ion-change functional groups onto one side-chain, this kind of AIEM bears two kinds of ion-change functional groups on dual side-chains. The results show that the as-prepared AIEMs could maintain low water absorption (< 20%) and swelling ratios (< 11%). The optimal surface area resistance is 6.31 Ω∙cm 2 . The perm-selectivity (Cl − /SO 4 2− ) of the optimized PAES-TA/BS-0.85 AIEMs in a binary mixed solution system at 2.5 mA∙cm 2 could be achieved as high as 67.46, which is much higher than commercial ACS IEMs under the same conditions. Small Angle X-ray scattering reveals a distinct phase separation pattern within the AIEM matrix, which is due to the introduction of sulfonates to increase the hydrophilicity of the side-chains. The combined effects of pore size screening and electrostatic repulsion render the high selectivity of as-prepared AIEMs.

Significant attention has been dovoted to the organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites in the realm of scientific research arising from their distinctive optical and dielectric properties along with structural tunability, rendering them highly versatile and adaptable materials. Herein, two novel one-dimensional organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites of (4-MPD)MnX3 (4-MPD = 4-methylpiperidinium, X = Cl (1), X = Br (2)) were synthesized and demonstrated to, respectively, undergo reversible phase transitions at 376 and 368 K, characterized by differential scanning calorimetry and dielectric measurements. It is instresting to note that the replacement of Br by the Cl halogen atom has maintained the crsytal structures but devoted a slight increase in phase transition temperature. Variable-temperature structural analyses signify that the order–disorder change of 4-MPD cations acts as the driving force for such phase transitions from the Pnma to P1̅ space group. In addition, compounds 1 and 2 both emit strong red photoluminescence under UV excitation. The two compounds with high-temperature dielectric switching and photoluminescent properties will offer fresh insights for the design and investigation of novel multifunctional organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites.
