A novel visible light-driven photocatalyst (represented as Mn-CdS/ZCISe/CIS/TiO2) for the passivation of E. coli was prepared with TiO2 nanowires as support and using CuInS2 (CIS) and ZnCuInSe (ZCISe) quantum dots (QDs), as well as Mn-doped CdS (Mn-CdS) nanoparticles (NPs) as sensitizers. The use of CIS and ZCISe QDs and Mn-CdS NPs extends the light harvest region to visible light. The photoelectric conversion efficiency was consequently improved, with a photocurrent density of 12.5 mA cm−2, about 60 times that of pure TiO2 nanowires. The germicidal efficiency of the photocatalyst was assessed by passivation of E. coli, 96% bacteria in 50 ml 105 colony forming units (CFU) ml−1 solution were killed within 50 min. Besides the high efficiency, the composite has good stability and satisfactory recycling performance. The antibiotic mechanism was also performed by using photoluminescence and a scavenging agent of different active matter, revealing that the photo-generated holes play a major role in the sterilization process.

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) face challenges in treating tetracycline (TC) wastewater, including low anode electron transfer efficiency, long pollutant degradation cycles, and limited degradation capacity, which limit their practical applications. In order to solve the above problems, this study developed a unique graded sea urchin type MnO 2 -PANI/CF composite anode material, aiming to simultaneously improve the power generation performance and tetracycline degradation efficiency of MFC. This anode significantly enhances electron transfer efficiency between the anode and microorganisms through an extracellular electron transfer mechanism mediated by Mn redox reactions. The results showed that the MnO 2 -PANI/CF anode significantly improved the performance of MFC, with a maximum power density of 4.702 W/m 3 , which is three times that of the bare CF anode (1.541 W/m 3 ). When treating high concentration tetracycline wastewater (50 mg/L), the TC degradation rate reached 94.64 %. The system maintained a high power output of 4.418 W/m 3 under continuous operation, demonstrating a good synergistic enhancement effect of power generation and degradation. The superiority of this composite anode lies in its low charge transfer resistance, high specific surface area, superhydrophilicity, and excellent biocompatibility. Microbial community analysis further showed that MnO 2 -PANI/CF anode promoted the enrichment of bacterial phyla (such as Bacillota and Actinobacteriota), enhancing the synergistic effect between microbial metabolism and anodic electrochemical processes. This contributes to the mutual promotion between pollutant degradation and electrical energy output. This study provides an effective strategy for designing high-performance MFC anodes for simultaneous power generation and antibiotic wastewater treatment.

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation (SDIE) has emerged as an efficient approach for sustainable freshwater generation, with current research predominantly focusing on photothermal materials and evaporator configurations. However, there is less attention from a practical engineering perspective for SDIE applications in extreme environments or industrial requirements, such as strong acids, alkalis, and high-salinity wastewater. Herein, we propose a one-dimensional (1D) MAX phase-based photothermal evaporator that combines exceptional solar-thermal conversion efficiency with high chemical stability, enabling efficient solar energy conversion to produce freshwater in various extreme environments. The engineered Ti2AlSnC nanofiber membrane evaporator demonstrates a continuous 30-day operation in concentrated acids (pH < 1) while maintaining a stable evaporation rate of 2.8 kg m–2 h–1. Furthermore, the integrated Joule heating module enables all-day operation under low-light conditions with a minimal energy input (≤3 V). The development of such a material establishes a promising strategy for more practical and durable water treatment solutions to harsh environments.

A composite Mn-Cu-Ce tri-metal oxide supported on γ-Al 2 O 3 (Mn-Cu-Ce/Al 2 O 3 ) catalyst was prepared by an impregnation-calcination method and investigated in the catalytic ozonation treatment of real coal chemical wastewater (CCW). The catalyst was characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, XRF, BET, and XPS techniques. The results showed that Mn, Cu, and Ce metal oxides were evenly distributed on the Al 2 O 3 surface and the catalyst maintained a large surface area and a high pore volume compared with the pristine Al 2 O 3 . The synergy between Mn, Cu, and Ce oxides greatly enriched the catalytic active sites and enhanced the ozonation performance. The catalytic ozonation process with Mn-Cu-Ce/Al 2 O 3 increased the removal rate of total organic carbon (TOC) by 31.6% compared with ozonation alone. The ketones, aromatic compounds, phenols, and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds in CCW have been effectively degraded and mineralized by Mn-Cu-Ce/Al 2 O 3 catalytic ozonation process, and its biodegradability has also been significantly improved. The experimental results of ∙OH scavengers revealed that the mechanism of Mn-Cu-Ce/Al 2 O 3 catalytic ozonation was to promote the generation of ∙OH radicals. The catalytic activity of Mn-Cu-Ce/Al 2 O 3 was only a slight decrease in six consecutive catalytic ozonation treatments, showing good stability. Therefore, Mn-Cu-Ce/Al 2 O 3 can be used as a candidate catalyst for the advanced treatment of refractory organic wastewaters upon catalytic ozonation.

Halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have been considered to be a potential emitting materials for illumination and display applications. Unfortunately, the toxicity and poor stability can greatly limit their practical application. Herein, the Mn 2+ -doped CsPbCl 3 and SiO 2 -coated Cs(Pb,Mn)Cl 3 perovskite QDs have been developed to solve the tricky problem without affecting their optical properties . Firstly, the mono-dispersed pure CsPbCl 3 perovskite QDs with cubic morphologies are prepared by using a modified hot-injection method, as a control group. Next, the low-Pb content Cs(Pb,Mn)Cl 3 perovskite QDs with distinctive dual emission peaks has been successfully obtained, including the CsPbCl 3 host emission and the Mn 2+ emission. Based on this, a new strategy for synthesizing single Cs(Pb,Mn)Cl 3 @SiO 2 core-shell QDs with their initial cubic morphology and optical properties has been developed, which using the Cs(Pb,Mn)Cl 3 nanoparticles as a precursor and choosing the APTES as the surface ligand. Photo-stability tests indicate that the Cs(Pb,Mn)Cl 3 and Cs(Pb,Mn)Cl 3 @SiO 2 perovskite QDs are markedly more stable than the pure CsPbCl 3 QDs, indicating that the crystal engineering and host packaging are all effective way to improve the stability. Meanwhile, the PL intensity of Cs(Pb,Mn)Cl 3 @SiO 2 dispersed in a mixed solution of toluene and water can retained 63% of the initial value even after 14 h, which are much higher than Cs(Pb,Mn)Cl 3 (31%). Therefore, the Cs(Pb,Mn)Cl 3 after SiO 2 coating is the more effective way to improve stability than that of the Mn 2+ doping. This work not only provides a simple and reliable synthesis way to synthesize the single core-shell particles, which can be suitable for other perovskite systems, but also compares the two methods of the crystal engineering and the host packaging to improve the stability of perovskite QDs for practical application.

In the pursuit of enhancing the energy density of lithium-ion batteries, cathode prelithiation emerges as a pivotal approach, introducing additional irreversible active lithium ions to augment performance. Li 5 FeO 4 (LFO) stands out as an excellent option, boasting an impressive theoretical specific capacity and the additional advantages of cost-effectiveness in raw materials and low preparation cost. However, the impact of extra lithium incorporations on compositional changes at the electrode-electrolyte interface as well as on cell stability has impeded further researches. Herein, a Mn doping strategy is proposed and predicted by first-principles calculations to synthesize partially Mn-substituted Li 5.125 Fe 0.875 Mn 0.125 O 4 (LFMO). And the prelithiation with LFMO improved the interfacial composition of LiFePO 4 (LFP) batteries compared to LFO, achieving a charging capacity of 213 mAh∙g −1 in the first cycle at 0.05 C. The subsequent treatment demonstrated superior cycling stability, maintaining a discharge specific capacity as high as 155.3 mAh∙g −1 after 100 cycles at 0.2 C, and exhibiting a higher capacity retention in the full cell. These discoveries could contribute to enhancing the regulation of battery interface during the utilization of LFO, potentially promoting the development of cathode lithium additives.

Developing earth-abundant and high-efficient catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to enhance the efficiency of water splitting is highly desirable. Metal-doping and construction of heterogeneous structure are two start-of-the-art strategies to increase the OER activity of transition metal materials. In this work, we exhibit the design and construction of a unique coral-like 3D hierarchical Mn-doped Ni 2 P–Ni 5 P 4 /NF (Mn–Ni–P/NF) OER catalyst. The Mn-doped Ni 2 P–Ni 5 P 4 /NF hybrid catalyst is synthesized on Ni foam by hydrothermal and followed in situ phosphidation, which exhibits superior OER catalytic performance with an overpotential of 230 mV (vs. RHE) at a current density of 10 mA/cm 2 and 70 mV lower than Ni 2 P–Ni 5 P 4 /NF (300 mV). Furthermore, it also exhibits good long-term stability for 20 h. This work provides a good thought named metal-doping transition metal phosphide complexes to improve the catalytic activity for OER. Such a superior OER performance is main attributed to the unique morphology, the doping of metal Mn regulating the metal phosphide Ni 2 P–Ni 5 P 4 nanosheet structure to be a 3D rough high-active-sites nanorod structure with the in situ formed oxidized Ni species on the surface and effective composite nanostructures .

In recent years, all-inorganic perovskite materials have become an ideal choice for new thin film solar cells due to their excellent photophysical properties and have become a research hotspot. Studying the ultrafast dynamics of photo-generated carriers is of great significance for further improving the performance of such devices. In this work, we focus on the transient dynamic process of CsPbBr 3 /TiO 2 composite systems with different Mn 2+ doping contents using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy technology. We used singular value decomposition and global fitting to analyze the transient absorption spectra and obtained three components, which are classified as hot carrier cooling, charge transfer, and charge recombination processes, respectively. We found that the doping concentration of Mn 2+ has an impact on all three processes. We think that the following two factors are responsible: one is the density of defect states and the other is the bandgap width of perovskite. As the concentration of doped Mn 2+ increases, the charge transfer time constant shows a trend of initially increasing, followed by a subsequent decrease, reaching a turning point. This indicates that an appropriate amount of Mn 2+ doping can effectively improve the photoelectric performance of solar cell systems. We proposed a possible charge transfer mechanism model and further elucidated the microscopic mechanism of the effect of Mn 2+ doping on the interface charge transfer process of the CsPbBr 3 /TiO 2 solar cell system.

Oxide matrix red-emitting phosphors are deemed as excellent color converters for white light emitting diodes (WLEDs) and laser diodes (LDs). Manganese-doped MgAl 2 O 4 powder was synthesized by a solid-state reaction method at different sintering temperatures. Microstructure shows that grain size is mainly in the range of 0.2–5 μm, and grain agglomeration occurs with increased sintering temperature. XPS analysis indicates that the doped Mn ion exhibits a valence state of + 4 within the MgAl 2 O 4 matrix. The diffraction peak of the phosphors is shifted by the sintering temperature, which affects lattice constant. Upon excitation by 300 nm ultraviolet light, the samples emit asymmetric broadband red light within the range of 620–720 nm, attributed to Mn 4+ ion’s transition from 2 E g to 4 A 2g states. With the increasing temperature, the main emission peak shifts from 677 nm to 650 nm, ascribed to the change in energy level ( 2 E g ) resulting from the reduction of Al 2 O 3 phase. Crystal field theory confirmed that Mn 4+ ions are within a strong crystal field environment created by MgAl 2 O 4 matrix. By affecting particle size and crystallinity, the sintering temperature influences the fluorescence lifetime of the Mn 4+ ion. Notably, these red-emitting phosphors exhibits remarkable thermal stability as their emission intensity remains approximately at 58% of initial intensity even at elevated temperature (435 K). Consequently, Mn 4+ : MgAl 2 O 4 red-emitting phosphors with high thermal stability render them promising candidates for WLED applications.

Fast charging and all-climate electrochemical behaviors are two of the most important issues of olivine cathodes for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) owing to inferior Li + and electron conduction at a high current density or low temperature. Taking Mn-containing olivine cathode (LiFe 0.8 Mn 0.2 PO 4 , LFMP) as an example, herein, we report a facile interconnected, hierarchically porous and highly conductive framework design strategy to construct an advanced bulk LFMP@graphene hybrid, realizing superior fast charging capability and wide temperature performance (−20∼80 °C). Such hybrids not only offer well-interconnected and highly conductive graphene networks, but also possess hierarchical porous interiors where the former ensures high-efficiency charge transfer between active components while the latter facilitates Li + diffusion. Benefiting from these advantages, the obtained hybrids deliver superior rate capability (85.0 mAh g −1 up to 20C) and high capacity retentions of 94.1 % after 3000 cycles at 10C (50 °C), and 91.7 % after 500 cycles at 5C (80 °C), and 93.6 % after 1300 cycles at 1C (−20 °C). This work provides an efficient strategy to design practical olivine cathode at the material level for fast charging and all-climate LIBs.

All inorganic lead halide cesium perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have attracted much attention due to their excellent luminescence properties, but further development is restricted by their stability and the existence of toxic element lead. In this paper, F/Mn-doped CsPb ( Br / Cl ) 3 QDs glass was prepared by melt quenching and heat treatment, with reduced Pb content effectively. The result shows that the spectrum of the QD glass is adjustable between 450 nm and 515.4 nm by changing the feeding ratio of Mn-Pb ion and heat treatment temperature. Moreover, the indraught of Mn 2 + effectively improves the PLQY of CsPb ( Br / Cl ) 3 QDs glass and serves as a red-emitting. The prepared composites not only maintain good fluorescence characteristics, but also greatly improve the stability of QDs. And successfully coupled with blue LED chips to synthesize WLED, Under 20 mA current, the color coordinate is (0.3446, 0.3389).

Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are regarded as potentially promising large-scale energy storage (EES) systems due to the close redox potential to lithium, the rich reserve and low cost of potassium resources. Nevertheless, the larger ionic radius of K-ion makes cathode materials for KIBs be a difficult issue. Herein, we construct Mn-based layered oxide (K 0.32 MnO 2 ) microsphere , self-assembled by ultrathin nanosheets , as potential cathode electrode for nonaqueous KIBs, which delivers a reversible discharge capacity of 95.1 mAh·g −1 at 10 mA g −1 . It is demonstrated that K 0.32 MnO 2 undergoes a simple solid solution reaction mechanism for K-ions deintercalation/intercalation during the initial charge-discharge process, which is not like complex multiple processes accompanied by phase transition for Mn-based layered oxide particles . Ex situ measurements reveal that K 0.32 MnO 2 nanosheets can provide outstanding morphology and structure stability, as well as fast electrochemical kinetics upon cycling, thus high rate capacity, improved cycling lifetime and voltage stability at low and high rates can be obtained. We also verify the practical feasibility of K-ion full cell with commercial super P carbon black anode. This novel work illuminates the electrochemical mechanism for K-ions storage in depth, which may push the study on layered oxide cathodes and accelerate the development of KIBs.
