Molten salt electrolytic synthesis of silicon is identified as a potential industry method due to its thorough deoxidization of oxide and short-flow synthetic progress. However, figuring out a more efficient and sustainable strategy for the increase of the reduction process as well as the control of product morphology still needs endless research. In this study, benefiting from the high electrical conductivity of metallic silver and the easy separation of silver from silver-silicon alloys during the electrolysis of SiO 2 , metallic silver was introduced to electric-catalyze the production of silicon. Firstly, metallic silver was introduced into the silica matrix by a simple silver mirror reaction. Secondly, the mixed Ag\SiO 2 precursor was located at the cathode for molten salt electrolysis . Finally, silicon nanowires were herein achieved in molten NaCl–CaCl 2 . Mechanisms of metal Ag played during the electric-polarization process of silica and the electrochemical nucleation of silicon were further analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectra . The results demonstrate that Ag helps construct Si nanowires via a classic Ag-Si binary alloy-droplet process and provided quantitative guidance for the large-yield production of silicon nanowires via adding 0.08–0.17 g Ag versus 1 g SiO 2 , controlling the temperature at 850–900 °C and electrolysis voltage at 2.6–2.8 V (2.6V at first 1 h and 2.8V at last 5 h). The synthesized silicon nanowires present two types of linear structures based on two three-phase interlines (3PIs) models and a streamed long-straight nanowire is observed.

Laser irradiation is a green, simple and efficient technique for material synthesis. A laser-activated-catalyst (LAC) technique is proposed for fabrication of nanowires in solution under ambient conditions. In the present work, effects of intrinsic influential factors such as the activity of precursor, precursor concentration, laser energy density and laser irradiation time on the LAC growth of cadmium chalcogenide nanowires are systematically investigated, which help to reveal the fundamental principles of LAC technique. Laser energy density and activity of precursor are proven to be vital for the growth of nanowires, and our work demonstrates that LAC is a universal way for synthesis of cadmium chalcogenides semiconductors.

Carbon dots (CDs) have sparked tremendous attention owing to their unique properties and great potential in various fields. Herein, novel amphiphilic CDs (ACDs) were synthesized solvothermally by microwave heating a mixture of xylose and ethylenediamine in N, N-dimethylacetamide. The xylose-derived ACDs were monodisperse nanoparticles with an average diameter of about 1.81 nm, and exhibited excitation-dependent emission behavior in both aqueous and several common organic solvents . Furthermore, the synthesized ACDs can be uniformly dispersed into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution to fabricate transparent luminescent composites, the as-prepared PVA/ACDs composites not only exhibited excellent fluorescence with excitation-dependent emission performance, but also achieved water-induced shape memory behavior. The intrinsic reason and pH sensitivity of shape recovery were investigated, the results confirmed that a faster shape recovery can be obtained in water at pH 4 within 180 s. Further investigation illustrated that the sensitivity of additional hydrogen bonding between PVA and ACDs to the water molecular was highly related to the shape recovery of the luminescent composite. The green synthesis route for xylan-derived ACDs and fabrication of smart luminescent composite will open many possibilities for the valuable application of low-cost biomass.

Herein, four new cuprous iodide hybrid materials 1–4 were synthesized at room temperature using two types of ligands: imidazoles and triphenylphosphine. Photoluminescence results showed that all the materials exhibited blue emissions with high internal quantum yields (IQYs) ranging from 51% to 64%. Surprisingly, the introduction of triphenylphosphine induced strong aggregation-induced emission (AIE). Additionally, the luminescence lifetimes of these materials were significantly longer, ranging from 11.53 μs to 24.33 μs, which is much longer than those of previous materials. These findings suggest that these materials could be potential candidates for non-rare earth element (REE) lighting phosphors.

Black core-shelled anatase titania were successfully prepared using a simple one-step synthetic method by calcining colloid titania precursor in N 2 flow under atmospheric pressure. The physicochemical properties of the as-prepared samples were characterized by various techniques such as X-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microcopy, etc. The samples demonstrate a unique core-shelled structure and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra reveal the presence of high concentration of Ti 3+ and oxygen vacancies at the surface, which accounts for their black appearance. A possible mechanism for the formation of such core–shell structure is proposed based on the results (X-ray photoelectron spectra, etc) of products prepared under different ration between urea and hydrochloric acid. Ethanol absolute is found to have critical effect in preventing phase transition of titania (from anatase to rutile) upon elevated temperatures. The black appearance of the sample powder (high visible light absorption) as well as slow electron/hole recombination rate after introducing oxygen vacancies/N species signify the core-shelled anatase titania as an efficient visible light active photocatalyst.

In this paper, a green process for the synthesis and separation of caffeine was reported. Theophylline sodium is used as the raw material, diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene as the catalyst, and Turkey red oil as the solvent, particularly, dimethyl carbonate was adopted in place of high toxic dimethyl sulfate to form a mixture of caffeine and by-product sodium bicarbonate. After converting sodium bicarbonate to sodium carbonate, the solubility difference between caffeine and sodium carbonate at 40°C was for the first time utilized to achieve the purpose of separating caffeine with an excellent yield of 98.4% and a purity of greater than 99.0%. Furthermore, both the reaction mother liquor and separation mother liquor can be recycled and reused during the reaction and separation processes, respectively, with little caffeine loss. No industrial waste was discharged in the process of the improved synthesis and separation, which is therefore environmental friendly.

CuSeO (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) compounds were prepared by combustion synthesis combined with spark plasma sintering method. Phase composition and microstructure analysis indicate almost single BiCuSeO phase in low doping level, while phase separation appears in heavy doping level. The thermoelectric properties of the Bi 1− x
K
x
CuSeO compounds have been measured in the temperature range of 323–823 K. The electrical conductivity is greatly enhanced by almost three times from 8.70 to 26.2 S/cm at 323 K by the substitution of Bi with K due to the large decrease of the activation energy. The overall thermal conductivity decreases significantly due to the strong point defect scattering by K doping and possibly enhanced interface scattering on the secondary phase. The maximum ZT reaches 0.6 at 823 K for the sample of x = 0.02, which is about 50% higher than that of the pristine sample. Our work offers a fast and more efficient approach for the fabrication of BiCuSeO-based materials.

A case of hydrous borate with the formula of Ba 2 B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ·5H 2 O was synthesized by the traditional hydrothermal method . It crystallizes in the chiral P 1 space group and has a unique two-dimensional 2 [B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ] ∞ layer that is constructed by the hydrogen involved [B 13 O 22 (OH) 5 ] fundamental building blocks (FBBs). The Ba atoms and H 2 O molecules are filled in the three-dimensional pore constructed by the 2 [B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ] ∞ layer. Interestingly, Ba 2 B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ·5H 2 O is the first case of hydrous borates that has the above rare [B 13 O 22 (OH) 5 ] FBB and 2 [B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ] ∞ layer, which enriching the structural chemistry of borate system. The diffuse reflection spectrum result shows that the ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edge of Ba 2 B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ·5H 2 O is below 200 nm. Its second harmonic generation (SHG) response is approximately 1.0 times that of potassium dihydrogen phosphate at the 1064 nm fundamental wavelength and it is also phase-matchable. Both results indicate that the title compound is a nonlinear optical crystal for UV spectral region. Theoretical simulation calculation shows that the occupied VE states are mainly contributed by the O-2p orbitals, and therefore [B 13 O 22 (OH) 5 ] groups are the main sources of SHG effects.

The crystalline hexagonal Nb 2 O 5 (H-Nb 2 O 5 ) nanobelt clusters dominantly exposed (− 110) facet are firstly synthesized by a hydrothermal topological reaction with a precursor of fiber-like K 2 Nb 2 O 6 ·H 2 O. The structure and morphology of samples obtained at different temperatures and times are investigated. There are two steps in the synthesis process. One is the acid-exchanging reaction transforming into amorphous phase protonated niobate (HNO), and the other is dehydration reaction transforming into H-Nb 2 O 5 , and simultaneous dissolution reaction which forms nanobelt cluster morphology from the fiber-like particle. The formation mechanism of H-Nb 2 O 5 nanobelt clusters has been proposed in detail. After photo-reduced reaction between the H-Nb 2 O 5 nanobelt clusters and AgNO 3 solution, the dominantly exposed (− 110) facet of H-Nb 2 O 5 nanobelt is homogeneously covered by Ag nanoparticles . The photo-electrochemical performance of the obtained H-Nb 2 O 5 nanobelt clusters and Ag deposited H-Nb 2 O 5 (Ag-Nb 2 O 5 ) nanobelt clusters as photocatalysts are evaluated by splitting water under simulated sunlight illumination, and the generated photocurrent of Ag-Nb 2 O 5 sample is 10.73 μA, which is 535 times that of the H-Nb 2 O 5 sample. The results demonstrate that the Ag-Nb 2 O 5 nanobelt clusters have a high photo-electrochemical performance as well as good sunlight photoelectric conversion efficiency.

Magnesium hydroxide (MgH 2 ) has excellent reversibility and high capacity, and is one of the most promising materials for hydrogen storage in practical applications. However, it suffers from high dehydrogenation temperature and slow sorption kinetics. Rare earth hydrides and transition metals can both significantly improve the de/hydrogenation kinetics of MgH 2 . In this work, MgH 2 –Mg 2 NiH 4 –CeH 2.73 is in-situ synthesized by introducing Ni@CeO 2 into MgH 2 . The unique coating structure of Ni@CeO 2 facilitates homogeneous distribution of synergetic CeH 2.73 and Mg 2 NiH 4 catalytic sites in subsequent ball milling process. The as-fabricated composite MgH 2 -10 wt% Ni@CeO 2 powders possess superior hydrogenation/dehydrogenation characteristics, absorbing 4.1 wt% hydrogen within 60 min at 100 °C and releasing 5.44 wt% H 2 within 10 min at 350 °C. The apparent activation energy of MgH 2 -10 wt% Ni@CeO 2 is determined to be 84.8 kJ/mol and it has favorable hydrogen cycling stability with almost no decay in capacity after 10 cycles.

At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the concept of sustainable development impressed the world. This study is supported by the concept of ecological protection and conservation. The easily available plastic bottled Coca-Cola® was innovatively proposed as a low-cost solvent to greenly exfoliate bulk tungsten disulfide (WS 2 ). First, an overview of two-dimensional (2D) WS 2 was given, summarizing the related reports on its structures and synthesis. Taking into account the yield of 2D flakes, the optimal fabrication environment was figured out. The related characterizations of the cola-synthetic WS 2 were studied. This work opens up a new strategy for the inexpensive and green exfoliation of 2D crystals with a high yield.

In-situ TiC/Ti titanium matrix composites were successfully fabricated through a novel approach, utilizing the reaction of graphene and Ti mixture powders in spark plasma sintering . Microstructure, hardness and compressive properties of such composites were investigated. The layered graphene nanosheets as the carbon source were dispersed in the powders, and subsequently formed uniform TiC particles in Ti matrix during the rapid sintering. The resulting TiC particles exhibited the micro- and nano-sized equiaxial structures. Such composites possessed the significantly enhanced hardness and room-temperature compressive strength comparing with the as-cast and as-sintered pure Ti. The ultimate and yield compressive strengths of as-prepared 7.0 vol% TiC incorporated composite respectively reached up to 2.64 GPa and 1.93 GPa, beyond some advanced Ti materials reported to date. In-situ micro- and nano-sized TiC particles were believed to be beneficial to harden and strengthen Ti matrix. The relevant strengthening mechanisms of such composites were discussed.
