Metal halide perovskites are promising materials for next-generation X-ray detectors. Among these materials, CsPbBr3 single crystals (SCs) exhibit high environmental stability, low defect density and high X-ray absorption coefficient, demonstrating excellent X-ray detection performance. However, ion migration in CsPbBr3 induces dark current drift, leading to degraded photocurrent and increased detection limit. Doping CsPbBr3 SCs with mixed halide has emerged as an effective strategy to suppress ion migration, increase resistivity and improve detection sensitivity. In this study, we synthesized lightly doped mixed-halide perovskite CsPb(Br1−nXn)3 (X = Cl, I) SCs with high crystallinity and compositional uniformity using the inverse temperature crystallization method and systematically studied hole and electron transport properties. Our findings indicate that the dark current primarily arises from hole current driven by ion migration associated with halide vacancies. Both chlorine and iodine doping suppress ion migration, with iodine doping exhibiting the best inhibiting effect. With low work function contacts, electron dark current is substantially reduced due to the elimination of hole contributions, and the dark current drift is effectively suppressed. Electron transport dynamics were further explored through α-particle spectroscopy. Analysis of α-particle spectra and carrier transit times revealed that chlorine doping enhances the μ-τ product and charge collection efficiency, whereas light iodine doping results in reduced μ-τ product and slower charge transport. Overall, halide doping combined with contact engineering demonstrates that mixed-halide perovskites hold significant promise for developing high-performance X-ray detectors.

Nanofiltration (NF) membranes with efficient selectivity are critical for addressing water source pollution from toxic heavy metals and emerging micropollutants. Herein, we engineered a polyamide (PA) NF membrane with ambidextrous selectivity by leveraging the concentration-driven effect of piperazine (PIP) during interfacial polymerization (IP). This PIP concentration-driven effect was verified by modulating the PIP concentration gradient from low to high, which enhanced IP efficiency via both an intensified alkaline reaction environment and concentration-driven diffusion. The optimized NF membrane features an ultrafine pore size distribution and reduced electronegativity, exhibiting a remarkable shift from sole SO 4 2− /Cl − selectivity to impressive ambidextrous selectivity, encompassing both SO 4 2− /Cl − (α ≈ 48, 98.3 % for Na 2 SO 4 ) and Mg 2+ /Na + (α ≈ 37, 98.2 % for MgCl 2 ). Moreover, it membrane also achieved exceptional removal efficiencies of 94.8–98.9 % for heavy metals and 77.6–99.3 % for antibiotics, while maintaining a water permeability of 19.3 L/m 2 h bar and mitigating the perm-selectivity trade-off. When purifying surface water containing heavy metals and antibiotics, the optimized NF membrane exhibited superior multi-pollutant removal and improved water production quality compared to the NF270 and NF90 membranes, and especially with its water permeance increased by ~27 % to 179 %. Our work uncovers a fundamental correlation between the PIP concentration, IP reaction, PA nanostructures and NF performance, providing valuable insights into customizing high-performance NF membranes to address complex water pollution challenges.

Previous studies have indicated that 6:2 chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether sulfonate (6:2 Cl-PFAES), a substitute for perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), caused disruptions in glucose metabolism, but its toxicological mechanisms remain unclear. Pancreatic β cells are responsible for regulating glucose metabolism. This study used mouse insulinoma β cells (β-TC-6) to study the toxic effects of 6:2 Cl-PFAES and elucidate its potential mechanisms. Through cell counting kit-8, trypan blue staining, and apoptosis assays, we found that 6:2 Cl-PFAES showed toxicity to β-TC-6 cells, even surpassing that of PFOS. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that 6:2 Cl-PFAES induced oxidative stress by ascendant levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA), alongside increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. The oxidative stress-inducing capability of 6:2 Cl-PFAES was stronger than PFOS. Co-exposure with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), as the ROS scavenger, which obviously reduced the degree of cell apoptosis and the production of ROS, highlighting oxidative stress as a crucial mechanism of 6:2 Cl-PFAES-induced cell death. Transcriptomic analysis further revealed that 6:2 Cl-PFAES affected genes association with the oxidative phosphorylation pathway, confirming the oxidative stress effect, and altered diabetes-related genes expression, suggesting a heightened risk of diabetes. This study provides insights into the toxicity of 6:2 Cl-PFAES on β cells and its potential risks on glucose metabolism disruption.

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.

Folic acid (FA) is a crucial B vitamin for cell formation and maintenance, and its deficiency can lead to severe health disorders, highlighting the importance for accurate FA detection. Chemiluminescence (CL) provides a highly sensitive analytical approach, characterized by simple instrumentation, high accuracy, and low background interference. However, traditional CL techniques are often limited by weak signal intensity and poor robustness. This study presents a novel CL system using well-defined fluorescent Cl, S, N co-doped carbon dots (ClSN-CDs) integrated into the H 2 O 2 -KBrO 3 system. Under acidic conditions, the synergistic effect of H 2 O 2 and KBrO 3 induced ClSN-CDs to emit a strong CL signal, with the emitting species identified as excited-state ClSN-CDs. Trace amounts of FA significantly quenched the CL intensity of the ClSN-CDs-H 2 O 2 -KBrO 3 system, enabling rapid, sensitive, and selective FA detection. The system demonstrated a linear response to FA concentrations ranging from 0.02 to 1.0 μM, with a detection limit of 3.1 nM. Selectivity and recovery studies validated the system's robust analytical performance. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the CL reaction involved reactive oxygen species (ROS), and FA-mediated ROS consumption led to luminescence suppression.

The soft ionic nature, tunable lattice structure, variable component, and solution processability make metal halide perovskite (MHP) materials good candidates as high-entropy materials. Although composition regulation of the X site can be easily achieved by mixing two types of halogens, it remains challenging to prepare high-entropy MHP (HEMHP) with three types of halogens due to the large octahedral factor (μ) difference of [PbX6]4–. Fundamental research is explored to synthesize HEMHP incorporating Cl–, Br–, and I– via μ regulation engineering, which breaks the limitation of a 6% Cl/I ratio in perovskite to achieve 116%. Doping AlCl3 in CsPbBrI2 could successfully reduce the μ differences for [Pb1–aAlaX6](4–a)–, shorten the Pb–X bond length, and enhance the Pb–X bond energy via the Al–X covalent bond. Therefore, the crystal distortion and halogen ion migration could be inhibited to form a homogeneous HEMHP, such as Cs1.18Pb0.92Al0.08(Cl0.13Br0.51I0.36)2.45L–0.81, Cs1.12Pb0.88Al0.12(Cl0.25Br0.49I0.26)2.53L–0.71, and Cs1.06Pb0.85Al0.15(Cl0.29Br0.46I0.25)2.43L–0.78. Such μ regulation engineering method is feasible and universal to use other metal ions (Zn2+, Mn2+, and In3+) to synthesize single-phase HEMHP. Furthermore, the optical band gap and emission peak wavelength for HEMHP and MHP are linearly dependent on their lattice distances, which is the intrinsic characteristic for composition-depended perovskite.

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.

Fabricating semiconductor photocatalysts with abundant oxygen vacancies and porous structures contributes to charge separation and surface photocatalytic degradation reactions. In this work, porous Cl-Nb 2 O 5-x nanostructures were synthesized via a calcination method using NbCl 5 as the niobium and chlorine sources to achieve efficient tetracycline degradation under visible-light irradiation. Porous Nb 2 O 5-x nanostructures were formed during the calcination process accompanied by the generation of oxygen vacancies. The obtained Cl-Nb 2 O 5-x samples demonstrated significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance compared to commercial Nb 2 O 5 . The synthesized Cl-Nb 2 O 5-x -450 sample exhibited the highest photocatalytic performance, achieving a maximal rate constant of 0.03093 min −1 , which markedly surpassed that of commercial Nb 2 O 5 . The remarkable enhancement in tetracycline degradation of the Cl-Nb 2 O 5-x photocatalysts was mainly attributed to the generation of oxygen vacancies and porous structures with large surface areas. Finally, the photodegradation pathways of tetracycline facilitated by the Cl-Nb 2 O 5-x photocatalysts and a plausible photocatalytic mechanism of the Cl-Nb 2 O 5-x photocatalysts were also investigated in this work.

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.

Cl-rich Li-argyrodites are one type of sulfide solid electrolytes (SSEs) with a high ionic conductivity and suitable mechanical properties for practical application. However, their tolerance against moisture in air and compatibility with metallic Li need further improvements. Here, we demonstrate that Nb-O dual-doping can be a good strategy for advanced Cl-rich Li-argyrodite SSEs, prepared by high energy ball milling and annealing method. Our results show that the Nb-O co-doping enhances the interface compatibility towards metallic Li and improves the moisture resistance, while maintains a fast ion transport. The Nb-O incorporation improves the Young's modulus and mitigates the side reaction of Li-argyrodite with Li. The doping-optimized sample demonstrates a high critical current density of 2.28 mA cm −2 and a long-term Li plating/stripping stability under a relatively high current density (1 mA cm −2 ) for nearly 3000 cycles. Notably, the corresponding all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs), using a Li metal electrode, can maintain a superior cycling stability for over 1000 cycles at 1 C.

Hexanitro complex K 2 Ba[Ni(NO 2 ) 6 ] was prepared via the co-precipitation method, and its composition and morphology were characterized by XRD , SEM , XPS and FT-IR techniques. The catalytic performances of K 2 Ba[Ni(NO 2 ) 6 ] for CL-20, FOX-7 and TKX-50 thermolysis were also discussed and studied by using DSC and TG-DTG-MS. After K 2 Ba[Ni(NO 2 ) 6 ] were mixed with CL-20, the activation energy ( E a ) of thermolysis reaction was increased, while the heat release was greatly improved, and the transformation from NH 3 to NO occurred. It is attributed to that the decomposition products of K 2 Ba[Ni(NO 2 ) 6 ] have strong effects on the oxidation of the radicals and the electrons transfer . Besides, the thermolysis E a of FOX-7 by addition of the K 2 Ba[Ni(NO 2 ) 6 ] was increased by 81.03 kJ mol −1 , and the heat release was greatly increased. In addition to that the two-step separate thermolysis processes of pure FOX-7 was almost replaced by a one-step exothermic reaction for the FOX-7/K 2 Ba[Ni(NO 2 ) 6 ] mixture, which was due to that Ni 2+ cations could effectively increase the activity of amino groups in the FOX-7 thermolysis process. Finally, K 2 Ba[Ni(NO 2 ) 6 ] scarcely has the thermolysis catalytic activity of TKX-50 owing to the influence of metal cations on the decomposition of the hydroxylamine . Furtherly, the characteristics of ignition and flame propagation on the three energetic mixtures were strongly correlated to their thermolysis pathway and mechanism. The comparative study on the effects of K 2 Ba[Ni(NO 2 ) 6 ] to the CL-20, FOX-7 and TKX-50 thermolysis and ignition showed that the hexanitro complex has great significance on promoting the heat release efficiency of solid propellants for future study.

A new borate, Li6.58Na7.43Sr4(B9O18)(B12O24)Cl (LNSBOC), was successfully obtained via a spontaneous crystallization method in an open system. LNSBOC crystallizes in a hexagonal crystal system with the centrosymmetric space group of P63/m, with a = 9.3046(2) Å, c = 24.3239(7) Å and Z = 2. According to the statistics, the structure of LNSBOC is extraordinary not only because of the discovery of the novel fan-like fundamental building block B9O18, but also for the unprecedented coexistence of the largest two highly polymerized (number of B atoms more than six) isolated B–O clusters in the structure. A discussion about the cause of the rareness of borates containing two polymerized isolated B–O clusters was carried out by investigating previous research and extant compounds. Even more significantly, a strategy to design compounds/crystal structures containing two polymerized isolated B–O clusters is put forward in this work from the viewpoint of structures and elements. In addition, thermal analysis and infrared and UV–Vis–NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy were performed for the title compound.
