Mg3Sb2 Zintl compounds have emerged as promising thermoelectric materials due to their favorable electronic structures and low lattice thermal conductivity. However, strong carrier scattering, including ionized impurity and grain boundary scattering, suppresses mobility and limits the power factor. This study reveals that Zn doping plays a crucial role in tuning carrier scattering mechanisms in n-type Mg3(Sb,Bi)2. The substitution of Mg with Zn weakens ionized impurity scattering, facilitating charge transport and increasing carrier mobility from ∼72 to ∼135 cm2 V–1 s–1. As a result, a high power factor of ∼2089 μW m–1 K–2 is achieved at 573 K in Mg3.155Zn0.045Sb1.5Bi0.49Te0.01. Furthermore, Zn incorporation introduces localized lattice distortions and promotes the formation of high-density dislocations, which intensify phonon scattering and significantly suppress lattice thermal conductivity to ∼0.54 W m–1 K–1 at 773 K. These synergistic enhancements contribute to an optimized thermoelectric performance, yielding a peak ZT of 1.71 at 773 K and an average ZT of 1.21. The estimated conversion efficiency reaches 13% under a 470 K temperature gradient, highlighting Zn doping as an effective strategy for advancing Mg3(Sb,Bi)2-based thermoelectric materials toward high-temperature energy harvesting applications.

The dielectric function of phase-change materials (PCMs) presents a tremendous difference for the amorphous and crystalline states. Therefore, the measurement of the mid-infrared transparency of thin films of PCMs will provide a cost-efficient method to reveal the dependence of amorphous-crystalline phase transition on their compositions. Although Sb–Te–Se system has shown the advantages of the high speed, low power consumption and long retention life, the information on the mid-infrared transparency of Sb–Te–Se thin films is still insufficient. In our investigation, combinatorial materials libraries of Sb–Te–Se thin films were synthesized. The composition and mid-infrared spectral transmittance of each pixel of Sb–Te–Se thin film in the library were characterized using the energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, respectively. The in-depth chemical composition for randomly selected pixels was identified using secondary ions mass spectroscopy (SIMS). The crystallographic structure of some pixels was also identified using micro-area X-ray diffraction (μ-XRD). It can be found that, with the change of composition in Sb–Te–Se thin films, their mid-infrared spectral transmittance can be organized into three distinctive groups, corresponding to amorphous Sb–Se, Sb 2 Se 3 orthorhombic structure and Sb 2 Te 3 rhombohedral structure, respectively. Therefore, the amorphous-crystalline phase transition and the phase-change from the orthorhombic structure of Sb 2 Se 3 to the rhombohedral structure of Sb 2 Te 3 can be completely reflected in the mid-infrared spectral transmittance of Sb–Te–Se thin films.

The synergistic degradation of VOCs and NO x that were emitted from the incineration of municipal and medical wastes by a single catalyst is challenging, due to the poor activity at low temperatures, and the SO 2 poisoning on the active sites. Herein, N-doped TiO 2 (N–TiO 2 ) was used as the support for designing a highly efficient and stable catalyst system for CB/NO x synergistic degradation even in the presence of SO 2 . The prepared SbPdV/N–TiO 2 catalyst, which presented excellent activity and tolerance to SO 2 in the CBCO + SCR process, was investigated by a series of characterizations (such as XRD, TPD, XPS, H 2 -TPR and so on) as well as DFT calculations . The electronic structure of the catalyst was effectively modulated after N doping, resulting in effective charge flow between the catalyst surface and gas molecules. More importantly, the adsorption and deposition of sulfur species and reaction transient intermediates on active centers were restrained, while a new N adsorption center for NO x was provided. Abundant adsorption centers and superior redox properties ensured smooth CB/NO x synergistic degradation. The removal of CB mainly follows the L-H mechanism, while NO x elimination follows both E-R and L-H mechanisms. As a result, N doping provides a new approach to develop more advanced anti-SO 2 poisoning CB/NO x synergistic catalytic removal systems for extensive applications.

We have innovatively introduced the pulsated orifice ejection method into the preparation of glass fibers, successfully preparing high-purity Ge28Sb12Se60 glass fibers. These fibers have a smooth surface, uniform elemental distribution, and excellent bending properties, with a minimal bending radius of 2 mm. In the infrared spectrum from 2.5 to 13.5 µm, the fibers achieve 65% transmission. Additionally, the fibers possess a density of 4.586 g/cm3, a diameter of 35 µm, a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 369°C, and an onset crystallization temperature (Tx) of 557°C. We have also measured the surface tension of the glass fibers, finding values from 0.288 N/m to 0.124 N/m as temperatures rose from 450°C to 500°C. The POEM holds the potential to achieve fiber cores of lengths up to hundreds of meters in theory. Our work provides a distinctive perspective for the preparation of glass fibers.

Electrochemical degradation of antiviral drug abacavir was investigated by using a penetration flux porous Ti/SnO 2 –Sb anode prepared by sol-gel method. The effects of applied current density, initial pH, and inorganic anions on the degradation kinetics were systematically studied. Degradation efficiency more than 97% was performed in only 10 min at a current density of 0.2 mA cm −2 . The corresponding degradation rate constant and the lowest electrical energy per order were calculated to be 0.36 min −1 and 6.5 mWh L −1 , respectively. Extending the reaction duration to 5 h, 53.3% of TOC removal was observed. The results indicated that effective degradation of abacavir appeared in the penetration flux porous Ti/SnO 2 –Sb anode with a very low energy consumption. Furthermore, the electrochemical intermediate products and the reaction site during abacavir degradation were detected and recognized. The quantitative structure-activity relationship model revealed that the potential risks of abacavir to the aquatic organism, such as fish, greatly decreased after flowing through the penetration flux porous Ti/SnO 2 –Sb anode.

Ti/SnO 2 -Sb electrodes possess high catalytic activity and efficiently degrade nitrobenzene (NB); however, their low service life limits their wide application. In this study, we used one-step hydrothermal synthesis to successfully prepare Pt-Nd co-doped Ti/SnO 2 -Sb nanosphere electrodes. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were applied to characterize the surface morphology, microstructure, and chemical composition of the electrodes, respectively. The electrochemical activity and stability of the electrodes were characterized via linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and an accelerated service life test; their performance for NB degradation was also studied. An appropriate amount of Pt-Nd co-doping refined the average grain size of SnO 2 and formed a uniform and compact coating on the electrode surface. The oxygen evolution potential, total voltammetric charge, and electron transfer resistance of the Ti/SnO 2 -Sb-Nd-Pt electrodes were 1.88 V, 3.77 mC/cm 2 , and 11.50 Ω, respectively. Hydroxy radical was the main active radical species during the electrolytic degradation of nitrobenzene with Ti/SnO 2 -Sb-Nd-Pt. After Pt-Nd co-doping, the accelerated service life of the electrodes was extended from 8.0 min to 78.2 h (500 mA/cm 2 ); although the NB degradation rate decreased from 94.1 to 80.6%, the total amount of theoretical catalytic degradation of NB in the effective working time increased from 17.4 to 8754.1 mg/cm 2 . These findings reveal good application potential for the electrodes and provide a reference for developing efficient and stable electrode materials.

Pb-free piezoelectric ceramic materials (K 0.48 Na 0.48 Li 0.04 )(Nb 0.92 Ta 0.08− x Sb x )O 3 (KNLNTS) were designed and prepared. The effects of varied Sb/Ta doping on the physical structure, surface morphology, and electrical characteristics of ceramics were also studied. The perovskite structure is present in all of the doped ceramic samples without any secondary phase (when x < 0.05). All of the doped ceramic samples have a Curie temperature ( T C ) above 300°C. At the same time, the orthorhombic–tetragonal phase transition temperature ( T O–T ) is pushed closer to ambient temperature. Doping with Sb/Ta/Li changed the electrical characteristics of the samples and increased their piezoelectric properties. At x = 0.03, the KNLNTS sample has the best piezoelectric properties: d 33 = 215 pC/N, Pr = 26.08 μC/cm 2 , T C = 342.6°C.

A green, straightforward and inexpensive sulfide metallurgy approach is of great importance to reduce the Sulfur oxides gas emissions caused by the conventional extraction methods. Herein, liquid antimonial lead alloy (Sb 3 Pb 7 ) can be directly extracted from the mixture of antimony sulfide and lead sulfide (Sb 2 S 3 –PbS) at the cathode in eutectic sodium chloride-potassium chloride (NaCl–KCl) melt at 730 °C, and sulfur gas evolves at the graphite inert anode . The reduction mechanism of Sb 2 S 3 –PbS involves two stages: the insertion of sodium ion (Na + ) into liquid sulfides and then the removal of divalent sulfide ion (S 2− ) to generate uniform Sb–Pb alloy. The electrolytically generated Sb–Pb alloy as the positive electrode for Li||Sb–Pb liquid metal battery (LMB) can be nearly fully discharged to x Li = 0.45 (lithium mole fraction , Li/(Li + SbPb)) at 50 mA cm −2 and 500 °C. During the discharge process, Li 2 Sb and Li 3 Sb formed as the intermetallic layer because of the high melting point and low solubility of the intermetallic in the liquid Pb. The present study provides an environmentally benign way to electrochemically convert sulfide minerals to value-added Sb–Pb alloys not only for the large-scale energy-storage system but also for metal production.

Sb-doped SnO2 electrodes were prepared with the practical sol–gel method and were used for the electrocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) in aqueous solution. Results from the electrochemical characterization (including cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) showed that the electrode with 16 coating times (SSO-16) had the highest oxygen evolution potential of 2.2 V (vs. SCE) and the highest electrochemically active area of 3.74 cm2. The results of scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction showed that the coating times could affect the surface morphology and crystal structure of the electrodes, and the SSO-16 electrode had a denser surface, higher crystallinity, and smaller grain size (28.6 nm). Moreover, the experimental parameters for CIP degradation with SSO-16 were optimized, and the removal ratio of CIP reached to almost 100% within 60 min. In addition, the possible degradation pathways of CIP were proposed. And the stability and reusability of the SSO-16 electrode were also studied. These results are valuable for the preparation of high electrocatalytic performance electrodes by a sol–gel coating method for electrochemical degradation of antibiotics.

The growing demands for optical anti-counterfeiting technology require the development of new environmentally friendly materials with single component, multimodal fluorescence and high stability. Herein, the Bi/Sb codoped Cs2Ag0.1Na0.9InCl6 lead-free double perovskite material is reported as an efficient multimodal luminescence material with excitation-wavelength-dependent emission. When excited by 360 nm UV light, dual-emission is observed at 455 and 560 nm, which comes from the 3P1–1S0 transition of Sb3+ ions and self-trapped excitons (STEs), respectively. Under the 320 nm UV lamp, the microcrystals show only a blue emission centered at 455 nm. Therefore, the Bi/Sb codoped Cs2Ag0.1Na0.9InCl6 double perovskite emits blue and yellow lights under the 320 and 360 nm UV lamp, respectively. Moreover, the obtained double perovskite shows a high PLQY up to 41% and excellent stability against both air and high temperature, which make it a promising anti-counterfeiting material.

Antimony(Sb(III)) contamination in wastewater has raised global concerns due to its high toxicity. The efficiency and mechanisms of Sb(III) adsorptive removal from wastewater with environmentally-friendly biogenic Mn oxide (BMO) materials as adsorbent were investigated, based on kinetic experiments and multispectroscopic analyses. Kinetic experiments showed that after 300 min of reaction, 97.79–100% of Sb(III) and 85.60–92.92% of total Sb were removed, indicating that BMO can quickly and effectively oxidize Sb(III) and sequester Sb(V) from water. The bacterial activity in BMO did not significantly affect Sb(III) removal, but a decrease in the release of Mn(II) into solution may provide new reactive sites for the re-oxidation of Sb(III). X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) high-resolution analysis suggested that Sb(V) was the only speciation remaining in the solid phase after the reaction of Sb(III) with BMO. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results further showed that the fast oxidation of Sb(III) by BMO led to the production of Mn(II) antimonate (Mn 2 Sb 2 O 7 ) precipitates. Successive extraction experiments confirmed that residual fraction (67.49–83.62%) and Mn oxide bound fraction (13.18–29.72%) were the dominant fractions of Sb(III) after 300 min of reaction, which were relatively stable and had low leaching risks. These findings indicated that BMO performed well in removing Sb(III) from wastewater.

This study focused on the preparation, characterization, and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) removal performance of the SnO 2 -coated reactive electrochemical membrane (REM). This REM was fabricated by loading SnO 2 on the reduced TiO 2 nanotube arrays (RTNA)-based Ti membrane (TM). Regarding the dopant for SnO 2 , Sb was more effective in boosting the electrocatalytic activity than Bi, and the energy consumption for Sb-SnO 2 -coated REM (TM/RTNA/ATO) was lower than Bi-SnO 2 -coated REM (TM/RTNA/BTO). As for the internal layer, RTNA provided TM/RTNA/ATO with more electroactive surface areas and prolonged the service lifetime. Compared with batch mode, the SMX removal efficiency in flow-through mode was increased up to 8.4-fold. The SMX degradation performances were also affected by fluid velocity, current density, initial SMX concentration, and electrolyte concentration. The synergistic effects of • OH oxidation and direct electron transfer were responsible for the effective removal of SMX. TM/RTNA/ATO was proved to be stable and durable by multi-cycle and accelerated lifetime tests. Its extensive applicability was verified with high removal efficiencies of SMX in the surface water and wastewater effluent. These results demonstrate the promise of TM/RTNA/ATO for water treatment applications.
