Copper indium gallium selenide Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 (CIGS) solar cells fabricated by vacuum thermal evaporation, magnetron sputtering, or organic solvent solution-process either lead to high manufacturing cost and film nonuniformity or cause explosion, toxication and pollution. To address these issues, herein, water as a solvent to prepare the CIGS precursor solution is used and 7.04% efficient CIGS solar cells without MgF 2 antireflection layer is obtained. Furthermore, for the first time, K doping on CIGS films via adding “K + ” into the aqueous precursor solution is conducted. K–In–Se species is formed in the process of selenization and acts as a Se reservoir during CIGS grain growth, resulting in improved quality of the CIGS film with much larger grains. K doping can also inhibit the loss of Ga element. The high-bandgap K–In–Se phase and higher Ga content combine to result in the increase in the CIGS bandgap. As a result, the K-doped CIGS solar cell achieves a 33.1% enhancement in efficiency to 9.37%, with the significant increase in the open-circuit voltage from 520.5 to 597.1 mV and fill factor from 50.77 to 55.36%. These results provide an important preliminary foundation for the development of aqueous precursor solution-based CIGS solar cells.

Fe-doped polypyrrole hollow microspheres were prepared by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization. By ultrasonically dispersing the pyrrole monomer on the surface of a hollow ferroferric oxide hard template, the pyrrole monomer was uniformly distributed on the template surface and within the cavity, enabling simultaneous polymerization of pyrrole and Fe doping. The resulting Fe-doped polypyrrole hollow microspheres exhibited a regular spherical morphology with sizes in the micron range and a specific surface area of 116.7 m 2 /g. The adsorption characteristics of acid chrome blue K (AK) onto the iron-doped polypyrrole were systematically investigated, including the effects of pH, contact time, temperature, and initial dye concentration. The adsorption kinetics showed that equilibrium was reached within 50 min, and the experimental data were well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Thermodynamic analysis indicated that the adsorption of AK onto Fe-doped polypyrrole hollow microspheres is a spontaneous process. The Fe-doped polypyrrole exhibits advantages such as simple preparation, fast adsorption rate, and recyclability as an adsorbent. It offers an efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly approach, demonstrating strong potential for the treatment of high-concentration printing and dyeing wastewater.

Water activities for the CaCl2–SrCl2–H2O ternary system and its sub-binary system were elaborately determined using an isopiestic vapor-pressure method at 323.15 K. The solubility of the titled ternary system at 323.15 K was also determined by the isothermal equilibrium method. The Pitzer–Simonson–Clegg (PSC) model was used for correlating the determined water activity and solubility data, simulating the thermodynamic properties, and predicting the solubility isotherm of the titled system. The reliability of the determined solubility results in this work was evaluated by comparing with the solubility isotherms calculated with the PSC model. The model simulation results showed that the thermodynamic properties and solubility can be predicted with binary parameters only. The experiment and simulation results showed that the equilibrium solid phase in the CaCl2–SrCl2–H2O ternary system are pure salts, and no solid solution was found at 323.15 K.

Topological chemical reaction methods are indispensable for fabricating new materials or optimizing their functional properties, which is particularly important for two-dimensional (2D)-layered compounds with versatile structures. Herein, we demonstrate a low-temperature (∼350 °C) ion exchange approach to prefabricate metastable phosphors ALa1–xTa2O7:xBi3+ (A = K and Na) with RbLa1–xTa2O7:xBi3+ serving as precursors. The as-prepared ALa0.98Ta2O7:0.02 Bi3+ (A = Rb, K, and Na) share the same Dion–Jacobson type 2D-layered perovskite phase, and photoluminescence analyses show that ALa0.98Ta2O7:0.02 Bi3+ (A = Rb, K, and Na) phosphors exhibit broad emission bands peaking at 540, 550, and 510 nm, respectively, which are attributed to the nonradiative transition of Bi3+ from excited state 3P1 or 3P0 to ground state 1S0. The various Bi3+ local environments at the crystallographic sites enable the different distributions of emission and excitation spectra, and the photoluminescence tuning of ALa0.98Ta2O7:0.02 Bi3+ (A = Rb, K, and Na) phosphors are realized through alkali metal ion exchange. Notably, the combination of superior trivalent bismuth emission and low-temperature ion exchange synthesis leads to a novel yellow-emitting K(La0.98Bi0.02)Ta2O7 phosphor which is successfully applied in a white LED device based on a commercially available 365 nm LED chip. Our realizable cases of this low-temperature ion exchange strategy could promote exploration into metastable phosphors with intriguing properties.

Calcium bismuth niobate (CBNO), known for its high Curie temperature ( T C ), has been investigated as a potential material for vibration sensor due to its ability to operate at elevated temperatures. However, the inherent weakness in piezoelectric response of CBNO has limited its sensing performance. This study successfully induced pseudo-tetragonal distortion in CBNO through the co-doping effects of K/Ce at A site and In/W at B site. This modification altered the interaction between the perovskite layer and the bismuth layer, thereby enhancing both piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. The co-doped Ca 0.94 (K 0.5 Ce 0.5 ) 0.06 Bi 2 Nb 1.96 (In 1/3 W 2/3 ) 0.04 O 9 exhibits a significantly enhanced piezoelectric coefficient ( d 33 ) of 22.3 pC/N, compared to the 5~7 pC/N for pure CBNO ceramics, and the remanent polarization ( P r ) increased to 11.91 μC/cm 2 , compared to 3.83 μC/cm 2 for CBNO. Furthermore, the sample maintains a suitable resistivity ( ρ = 2.46 × 10 5 Ω·cm) even at 600°C. This work not only deepens the understanding of bismuth layer structure ferroelectrics (BLSFs) but also proposes a viable co-doping strategy, providing an effective approach for developing high-performance, high-temperature-resistant piezoelectric sensors.

High performance and miniaturization are becoming increasingly important for practical microwave electronics and high-density communication systems. Here, LiNb 0.6 Ti 0.5- x (Zn 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) x O 3 (LNT- x ZN, x = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 mol%) ceramics have been successfully prepared by a solid-phase reaction. The relationship between the physical structure, microscopic morphology, Raman spectroscopy , and microwave properties is revealed. The better microwave dielectric properties of the LNT-4ZN ceramic sintered at 1075 °C are ε r ∼59.9, Q× f ∼8261 GHz, and τ f ∼-7.4 ppm/°C. Using this ceramic, a miniaturized dielectric resonant antenna (DRA) is designed and demonstrated. The return loss, radiation efficiency, and realized gain of this device at the center frequency are −43.57 dB, 78.4 %, and 8.59 dB, respectively. The antenna, in addition to the good radiation performance, has a size advantage over similar devices (#Cylindrical sample, # R 3.1 mm × h 1.6 mm, @Square substrate, @ a = b = 18 mm × h 3.1 mm). This work exemplifies the great potential of LNT-4ZN materials in communication devices and promotes the application of microwave dielectric ceramics in antenna fields.

Fe2O3 is considered a potential electrode material owing to its high theoretical capacity, low cost, and non-toxic characteristics. However, the significant volume expansion and structural degradation during charging and discharging hinder its application in potassium ion batteries. The electrochemical properties of the electrode material are primarily influenced by the diffusion efficiency of ions and the mechanics of the object. From the construction of a one dimensional structure, a three-dimensional flower-like Fe2O3 with a high specific surface and low-dimensional spherical Fe2O3 were prepared. Considering the convenience and visualization of the research, micron-scale Fe2O3 was prepared, although the larger particle size will lose part of the capacity. Notably, compared with the spherical structure, the specific capacity of the flower structure was increased by about 100%. The von Mises stress distribution on the two structures was simulated by the finite element method, revealing the mechanism of electrode failure induced by volume expansion and confirming the vital role of the multidimensional system in relieving stress concentration and improving electrochemical performance. Furthermore, synchrotron radiation soft X-ray absorption spectrum and X-ray micro-tomography revealed the phase transformation process and reaction mechanism of Fe2O3 in potassium ion batteries. The dimensional structure construction strategy reported here can provide theoretical support for modifying transition metal oxides.

Advances in conductive hydrogels are responding to the emerging need for flexible strain sensors. However, achieving an excellent combination of injectability, conductivity, and sensing characteristics is challenging. For this purpose, suitable 3D printing inks are required to generate hydrogels with the desired morphological and functional characteristics. We composited thermosensitive kC with PVA using borax as a cross-linking agent and a source of conductive ions (Na + ) to obtain borax cross-linked PVA and kC conductive hydrogel inks. And then, the corresponding conductive hydrogels (B-PVA/kC) were successfully prepared using their thermal response behavior and freeze-thaw method. The results show that kC enables B-PVA/kC to undergo a rapid sol-gel transition when cooled from 70 °C to room temperature . The B-PVA/kC hydrogels show a fast, sensitive, and accurate response to movement. After a freeze-thaw cycle (1 F-T), the hydrogels still have good electrical conductivity and strain-sensing properties, with better strength and increased structural stability . More excitingly, this hydrogel can be printed in different shapes to fit the body better and also exhibits good sensing signals when compressed by external forces, which is expected to facilitate the personalization of flexible strain sensors.

In this paper, the solubility of levodropropizine, an important cough suppressant drug, in 13 pure solvents (including 8 alcohol solvents and 5 acetate solvents) was studied with the aid of a laser dynamic solubility-monitor device at a temperature from 283.15 to 323.15 K and atmosphere pressure. In the measured temperature range, the solubility of LVDP increases with increasing temperature and follows the following order: iso-butanol > iso-pentanol > n-hexanol ≈ n-heptanol > n-pentanol > n-propanol > n-butanol > iso-propanol > ethyl acetate > n-propyl acetate > n-butyl acetate > n-pentyl acetate > iso-propyl acetate. Three semiempirical models (modified Apelblat, three-parameter van’t-Hoff, and λh) and two activity coefficient models (Wilson and NRTL) were used to correlate solubility of LVDP as a function of temperature and the mixing thermodynamic properties of the 13 solutions were evaluated based on measured solubility and the parameter values of Wilson’s model.

The safety and low toxicity of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are piqueing intense scientific interest. Slow reaction kinetics and substantial structural degradation of the cathode materials, however, prevent the creation of ZIBs. As a better cathode for ZIBs, tunnel-structured V 2 O 5 hierarchical with a high preintercalated K cation content (K-V 2 O 5 ) are proposed here. The K-V 2 O 5 are specifically made using a self-sacrificial template approach that also involves hydrothermal intercalation in a neutral solvent and phase change during annealing. A subsequent H + and Zn 2+ intercalation procedure at various voltage platforms is clarified when tested as cathodes for ZIBs. Prior to the subsequent insertion of Zn 2+ into V 2 O 5 , the water-solvated H + first enters tunnel cavities, which partially transforms the V 2 O 5 phase from a tunnel-type structure to a layered-type structure. The pre-intercalated K cations with a high content that act as pillars in the layered-type matrix stabilize the layered structures and widen the migration channels for Zn 2+ , which can aid in the diffusion of Zn 2+ in the V 2 O 5 cathodes.

The stable energy barrier of mucin and soy hull polysaccharide (SHP) is established at the air/water interface in the intestinal fluid and is conducive to the absorption and transportation of nutrients. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different concentrations (0.5 % and 1.5 %) of Na + and K + on the energy barrier through the digestive system model in vitro . The interaction between ions and microwave-assisted ammonium oxalate-extracted SP (MASP)/mucus was characterized by particle size, zeta potential, interfacial tension, surface hydrophobicity, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, endogenous fluorescence spectroscopy, microstructure, and shear rheology. The results showed that the interactions between ions and MASP/mucus included electrostatic interaction, hydrophobic interaction, and hydrogen bond. The MASP/mucus miscible system was destabilized after 12 h, and the ions could improve the system stability to some extent. MASP aggregated continuously with the increase in the ion concentration, and large MASP aggregates were trapped above the mucus layer. Furthermore, the adsorption of MASP/mucus at the interface increased and then decreased. These findings provided a theoretical basis for an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of action of MASP in the intestine.

The conversion of CO 2 into valuable chemicals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has received extensive attention. Converting CO 2 into pharmaceutical intermediates via graphitic carbon nitride (CN) at atmospheric pressure is a challenge. In this work, a series of novel graphitic carbon nitrides (K-CN) catalysts with different doping ratios of K were synthesized by post-treatment of CN with KOH as a dopant under magnetic stirring. Herein, substrates of o -phenylenediamine with different electron-donating/withdrawing groups were employed to convert CO 2 into high-value heterocyclic benzimidazoles. The optimal reaction conditions were determined by a single factor optimization approach. A series of benzimidazole derivatives were synthesized with a yield of up to 96% under atmospheric pressure, indicating that the catalyst can efficiently fix CO 2 . This work not only designs a simple and low-cost K-CN catalyst but also provides a new pathway for converting CO 2 into valuable benzimidazole derivatives at atmospheric pressure. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
