Two novel alkaline-earth zincophosphites, namely CaZn(HPO3)2 and Ba2Zn(HPO3)3, were successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. CaZn(HPO3)2 exhibits a three-dimensional (3D) anionic framework with a 6-connected uni-nodal pcu α-Po primitive cubic topology, constructed by unique Zn2O8 dimers and HPO3 pseudo-tetrahedra, while Ba2Zn(HPO3)3 displays one-dimensional (1D) [Zn(HPO3)3]4− anionic chains. It is worth mentioning that CaZn(HPO3)2 represents the first example of an alkaline-earth zincophosphite compound with a 3D framework structure. Our research also revealed the importance of both alkaline earth cation sizes and Zn/P ratios in anionic open-framework formation. The crystal structures of both compounds were further verified by energy dispersive spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Optical diffuse reflectance spectra, coupled with Tauc's fitting, revealed direct bandgaps with energy values of 4.33 and 4.48 eV for CaZn(HPO3)2 and Ba2Zn(HPO3)3, respectively, which differ from the prediction of theoretical calculations. Density of states calculations were conducted to reveal the origin of the bandgaps and bond interactions. Both compounds exhibited moderate birefringence values. This work may have implications for the design and synthesis of novel metal phosphites with desired properties.

Graphical In hot water : CeO 2 /A−Fe(OH) 3 composites synthesized by a secondary water bath at 100 °C exhibit superior photocatalytic activity. A−Fe(OH) 3 increases specific surface area, passivates the surface of CeO 2 , and reduces the activation energy of water oxidation. This work provides a new insight into exploring amorphous cocatalysts to enhance photocatalytic O 2 evolution activity and augment the possibility of overall water splitting based on CeO 2 . Noble-metal-free composites with good photocatalytic property are of great interest. Here, CeO 2 nanorods composites loaded with amorphous Fe(OH) 3 cocatalyst were designed and prepared via a secondary water bath at 100 °C. The as-synthesized CeO 2 /amorphous Fe(OH) 3 composites exhibited superior light photocatalytic activities compared to pure CeO 2 , especially the sample with a loading time of 60 min. The photocatalytic oxygen generation rate could reach to 357.2 μmol h −1 g −1 , and the average apparent quantum yield (AQY) was 24.67 %, which was a 5.5-fold increase compared to the CeO 2 sample. The improvement of photocatalytic performance could be ascribed to three main reasons: First, loading the amorphous Fe(OH) 3 enlarged the specific surface area and passivated the surface of the pristine CeO 2 . Second, the amorphous Fe(OH) 3 ,which acted as a cocatalyst, provided many active sites, and reduced the reaction activation energy. Thirdly, the maximum interface with intimate contact between CeO 2 and amorphous Fe(OH) 3 cocatalyst accelerated the photogenerated charge separation efficiency and thus improved the photocatalytic performance of CeO 2 in photocatalytic water oxidation.

The NASICON-type Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 (LATP) is considered to be one of the most promising solid electrolytes because of its excellent chemical stability against moisture and considerable total ionic conductivity . Nevertheless, the poor sinterability and low grain boundary ionic conductivity of LATP limit its practical commercial applications. Herein, Li 2 CO 3 ·Bi 2 O 3 (abbreviated as LB), as a sintering aid, was introduced into LATP to improve its sinterability and ionic conductivity. It was demonstrated that the addition of LB promoted the liquid phase sintering of LATP by forming the secondary phases with a low melting point, thereby promoting the growth of grains and making the contact between the grains closer. With the help of LB, the sintering temperature of LATP was reduced to about 900 °C. A series of comparative investigations indicated that the LATP-2LB ceramic pellets sintered at 900 °C exhibited the highest total ionic conductivity of 0.673 mS/cm. Meanwhile, the relative density and grain boundary ionic conductivity of LATP-2LB ceramic pellets sintered at 900 °C reached 95.28% and 3.835 mS/cm, respectively, which is much higher than 77.16% and 0.264 mS/cm of LATP-0LB ceramic pellets sintered at the same temperature. Obviously, LB can effectively improve the sinterability of LATP while increasing its ionic conductivity, providing a new strategy for preparing LATP ceramics with excellent properties.

Iron molybdate (Fe2(MoO4)3) was used as a novel heterogeneous catalyst to activate persulfate () for rhodamine B (RhB) degradation. Results indicated 10 mg/L RhB can be completely removed under the addition of 4 mM and 0.4 g/L Fe2(MoO4)3 within 240 min. Fe2(MoO4)3 can be repeatedly used for six cycles and showed high stability with Fe leaching amounts less than 2.9% in each run. Possible catalytic mechanism was proposed as follows: RhB degradation intermediate products such as hydroxybenzene, quinone compounds and organic compound radicals acted as electron transfer agents to reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+, which reacted with persulfate to form Fe3+ creating the redox cycling of iron, the RhB and those intermediate products are oxidized directly by the molybdenum peroxo complexes which forming probably with and persulfate, and the synergy between Fe3+ and occurring the catalytic effect on the persulfate. Additionally, the major intermediates of RhB were identified according to GC/MS and the possible degradation pathway was proposed.

Water-soluble cadmium telluride quantum dots capped with 3-mercaptopropionic acid were synthesized and further modified with 3-aminophenylboronic acid to form boronic acid-functionalized quantum dots (QDs). Under excitation at 350 nm, the modified QDs display yellow fluorescence with a peak at 566 nm. On exposure to copper(II), the fluorescence of the QDs is quenched. Under optimal conditions, fluorescence drops linearly in the 0.01 to 20 μM Cu(II) concentration range, and the detection limit is 7.6 nM. This fluorescent probe was applied to the determination of Cu(II) in spiked human serum and water samples and gave satisfactory results.
Schematic presentation of the principle for fluorometrice detection of copper(II) based on the use of boronic acid-functionalized cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs).

Lithium aluminum germanium phosphate solid electrolyte is a promising candidate for all-solid-state batteries. The currently available processing techniques based on melting-quenching require a rather lengthy crystallization step lasting up to 8 hours. In this work, the newly emerged ultra-fast high-temperature sintering (UHS) was proposed to achieve in a single step reactive consolidation of powder mixture (GeO 2 , Al(PO 3 ) 3 , LiPO 3 ) and crystallization of the electrolyte within 16 minutes. Samples produced using UHS had a better phase purity, reduced Li loss, and improved ionic conductivity when compared to the counterparts prepared using conventional crystallization at 850°C for 6 h. In fact, specimens prepared by UHS achieved a crystallinity of 90% and ionic conductivity as high as 1.31 × 10 −4 S cm −1 .

All-inorganic perovskites have aroused great interest recently because of their prominent photoelectric properties and thermal stability for stable, highly efficient perovskite solar cells. Herein, a two-step multiple spin coating method has been developed for the first time to prepare cesium halide perovskite films. In particular, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is introduced into CsBr/methanol precursor solution to increase the solubility of CsBr; in the meantime, it can also remarkably influence the morphologies, optical properties and photovoltaic performance of CsPb(IxBr1−x)3 (0 < x < 1) films. By regulating the content of DMSO, as high as 13.27% power conversion efficiency (PCE) has been achieved with a steady-state PCE of 12.5% under optimal conditions, which can maintain 98% of the initial PCE for 480 h under ambient conditions without encapsulation. The synergistic effect of the solvent-engineering method can provide a new access for good quality all-inorganic perovskite thin films for high performance optoelectronic devices.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of different concentrations of the amine-functionalized isoreticular metal-organic framework-3 loaded with carvacrol (IRMOF-3/CA) on the properties of sodium alginate (SA) composite films, thus determining the optimal addition amount and further preparing bioactive packaging film with antibacterial and antioxidant activities. The morphology, structure, physical properties, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of the films were characterized and analyzed. The results showed that the thermal stability and light barrier property of the films were improved by the addition of IRMOF-3/CA. When the additional concentration was 0.4 wt%, the tensile, water vapor barrier and hydrophobic properties of the films were increased by 30.13%, 9.06% and 46.43% respectively compared with those of pure SA film. Moreover, the film added with IRMOF-3/CA had sustained antioxidant and antibacterial activities , and had an apparent fresh-keeping effect on pork, suggesting its application potential in food packaging.

Sodium super ion conductor (NASICON) structure materials, known for fast diffusion channels for Na + , are promising solid electrolyte materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the high carbon content in the NASICON electrolyte materials originated from the carbothermal reduction (CR) reaction will cause short-circuit and self-discharge of the batteries. Herein, we developed a facile and straightforward two-stage calcining strategy to prepare Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP) with high purity and crystallinity. By precisely controlling the dosage of reducing agent and heat temperature, the purity of NVP can reach 99.97%. Moreover, the NVP film was prepared by the as-synthesized pure NVP powder via fast hot-pressing sinter, whose Vickers hardness is (5.0 ± 0.4) × 10 2 HV and relative density is 99.05%. This study provides a safe and facile strategy to prepare high-purity NVP powder and high-quality NVP films, which is of great significance in exploring NVP as a solid electrolyte for SIBs.

Two triarylamine-based polymers were synthesized by oxidative coupling reactions from 3-(N,N-diphenylamino) thiophene (3PAT) and 3-(10H-phenothiazin-10-yl) thiophene (3PTT) monomers, respectively. Distinguished from 3PAT, 3PTT has an additional sulfur atom between the two benzene rings. By using NMR spectroscopy and triarylamine control, the structures of the synthesized polymers were resolved with the aim of revealing the substitution effect. The results present that the substituent plays an important role in the chain propagation. Moreover, the triarylamine-based polymers were investigated for their solubility, thermal stability and electrochemical properties. To evaluate the electrochromism of the two different polymers, we have measured the spectroelectrochemical and electrochromic switching properties from the solution-cast films.

We report a low-cost hydrogel electrolyte by adding 3 wt% poly(acrylate sodium) (PAAS) into 1 M Na2SO4 aqueous electrolyte, which achieves a widened electrochemical stability window (ESW) of 2.45 V on stainless steel current collector from 2.12 V in 1 M Na2SO4 aqueous electrolytes (AE). Moreover, the H2 evolution potential reaches −1.75 V vs. Ag/AgCl on titanium current collector. The results reveal that the polymer network structure of PAAS has the ability to interact with water molecules and thus the hydrogen evolution reaction can be limited effectively, which broadens the ESW of aqueous electrolyte and allows the reversible Na-ion intercalation/deintercalation of Na3V2(PO4)3 as an anode material in aqueous electrolyte reported for the first time.
