Optical temperature sensing based on luminescence intensity ratio shows significant potential in achieving accurate temperature detection. In this work, Sb 3+ /Mn 2+ co-doped Cs 2 NaYCl 6 double perovskites were synthesised via a hydrothermal method . Introducing Sb 3+ ions to the host significantly enhances the radiative recombination of self-trapped excitons (STEs), resulting in a broad blue emission. The co-doping of Mn 2+ ions to the composition leads to a tunable dual-emission in the spectra, originating from the energy transfer between the STEs and Mn 2+ ions. The dependence of the dual-emission on temperature is employed for optical temperature sensing. The maximum relative sensitivity, optimal thermal resolution, and optimal thermal repeatability are determined as 1.40 % K −1 , 0.002 K and 99.3% at 250 K, respectively. The results indicate that the synthesised Cs 2 NaYCl 6 : Sb 3+ /Mn 2+ double perovskites are promising candidates for high-sensitivity optical thermometers.

The inherent cation disordering and wide bandgap of CuInTe 2 seriously impede carrier concentration optimization, constraining the enhancement of thermoelectric performance. In this work, the inherent cases were addressed by introducing Sb doping and high pressure. Cu Sb bonding was strengthened by incorporating Sb into Te sites, realizing cation ordering while supplying extra hole carriers. Furthermore, with bandgap narrowing induced by applying pressure, the carrier concentration was significantly increased to over ∼10 19 cm −3 , accompanied by optimizing the electronic structure. As a consequence, a high power factor of 1152.4 μWm −1 K −2 at 773 K was achieved. In addition, abundant defect structures were introduced due to Sb doping and external pressure, largely suppressing phonon transport and thus reducing the lattice thermal conductivity to 0.63 Wm −1 K −1 , which approaches the theoretical minimum. Ultimately, a high zT value of 1.14 at 773 K was achieved for CuInTe 1.995 Sb 0.005 prepared under 2.5 GPa. This study demonstrates the efficacy of high pressure and Sb doping in improving the thermoelectric performance of CuInTe 2 , and provides a feasible approach for optimizing cation ordering and band structure in thermoelectrics.

A short-wave UV antimony(III) oxysalt, RbSb(SO4)(H2PO2)F, by incorporating three different anions (SO42-, H2PO2-, F-) with trivalent antimony cations that possess stereochemically active lone-pair electrons (SCALP), has been successfully synthesized. Significantly, the mixed anions and Sb3+ cations combine to form a low-dimensional 1D infinite anionic chain, denoted as [Sb(SO4)(H2PO2)F]∞-, where synergistic interactions among these units contribute to a substantial birefringence of 0.192 at 546 nm and achieve a short cutoff edge down to 276 nm. This research expands the family of UV birefringent optical materials and provides guidance for the further exploration of novel structural-functional materials.

Recently, Sb 3+ -activated 0D Zr(IV)-based metal halides have gained enormous attention for their unique optical properties. However, realizing efficient white emission and multiple reversible emissions in a single system remains a great challenge. Parallelly, the currently reported Sb 3+ -activated Zr(IV)-based organic metal halides are mainly through aimless regulation of the type of A-site organic cations, severely limiting their development. Herein, all-inorganic Cs 2 ZrCl 6 :Sb 3+ is employed as the conformational model, three different compounds of Sb 3+ -doped [18-crown-6@A] 2 ZrCl 6 (A = K, Rb, Cs) are developed via supramolecular assembly. All compounds show efficient tunable white emission with luminous efficiency of 91.28% for [18-crown-6@K] 2 ZrCl 6 :Sb 3+ , 84.84% for [18-crown-6@Rb] 2 ZrCl 6 :Sb 3+ , and 78.63% for [18-crown-6@Cs] 2 ZrCl 6 :Sb 3+ , which shall stem from Sb 3+ -induced multi-exciton emission in [SbCl 6 ] 3− octahedron. Particularly, the strong supramolecular interaction can enhance the structural rigidity and suppress nonradiative transitions, which is the dominated reason for [18-crown-6@A] 2 ZrCl 6 :Sb 3+ exhibits efficient emission. The component/excitation/temperature/moisture-dependent multiple reversible PL switching characteristics are observed in Sb 3+ -doped [18-crown-6@A] 2 ZrCl 6 , which allows to demonstrate their applications in advanced optical anti-counterfeiting and information encryption. Moreover, a single-component white light-emitting diode is also fabricated, which shows a high color rendering index of 96.1. Therefore, the work provides a feasible scheme for designing organic Zr(IV) halides with fascinating optical properties.

Photothermal therapy (PTT), as a non-invasive and selective treatment strategy, has garnered extensive research interest. Photothermal agents (PTAs) are critical components of PTT, whose light-absorbing and thermosensitive properties enable effective conversion of light energy into heat, creating localized high-temperature regions. However, PTAs often face challenges with degradation in vivo, and standalone PTT is insufficient for complete tumor cell ablation. In this study, we successfully developed a biodegradable nanoplatform for synergistic photothermal-photodynamic therapy. This platform is based on degradable antimonene nanosheets, further functionalized with a chitosan coating, and loaded with the photosensitizer Ce6. In vitro experiments demonstrated that this nanoplatform exhibits excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Upon laser excitation, the platform induces localized thermal effects for cell ablation and promotes reactive oxygen species generation, leading to superior anti-tumor efficacy compared to monotherapies. These findings suggest that this multifunctional nanoplatform can significantly enhance the therapeutic efficiency of synergistic phototherapy, presenting a promising candidate for cancer treatment.

Nanosheet-assembled microspheres of tungsten oxide doped with antimony were synthesized via hydrothermal method . Sb doping changed the valency of W, promoted a partial crystal phase transition from orthorhombic to hexagonal, and modified the surface morphology . Further, WO 3 is an n-type semiconductor and is sensitive to gases above 100 °C. The Sb-WO 3 sensors in this work were p-type semiconductors from 25 °C to 65 °C, and exhibited excellent sensitivity, fast response and good recovery properties to NH 3 . At 35 °C, the detection limit of 1 at% Sb-WO 3 for ammonia was 200 ppb, and the sensor shows a good stability and selectivity toward several possible interferent . The substantially improved sensing performance of the Sb-WO 3 sensors at near room temperature could be mainly attributed to the change of the W valency promoted via Sb doping.

The controllable preparation of materials with unique structures and morphologies has become an important field in the development of nanomaterials . In this study, Sb 2 S 3 was used as the evaporation source to controllably prepare Sb 2 S 3 crystals with various morphologies under a vacuum. At 873 K and 30 min, antimony sulfide in the form of cauliflower-like was effectively made. At the same temperature and for 60 min, tubular antimony sulfide was formed. The initial forming conditions of fascicle-like antimony sulfide were at 873 K and 100 min and did not change with the increase in temperature. During the evaporation process, some antimony sulfide will condense into lumps, showing irregular feather-like and round particles. The products prepared by this method were analyzed and tested. The results showed that the grade of antimony sulfide prepared by this method was further improved, and the content of Sb and S increases by 1.64% and 1.21% on average. This method offers a simple production process, a more regular product shape, and does not require the use of any additives.

One-dimensional nanotubes are very useful for achieving excellent performance in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to the fact that tubular structures can effectively alleviate the structural strain and shorten the ion diffusion length during repeated cycling. In this work, we report a Cu2Sb-mediated growth strategy to controllably fabricate highly uniform Sb nanotubes (NTs), as well as Cu@Cu2Sb and Cu2Sb@Sb composite NTs, via a facile galvanic replacement reaction using Cu nanowires (NWs) as sacrificial templates. Benefiting from their structural merits, the Sb NTs manifest excellent sodium storage performance with superior rate performance (286 mAh g–1 at 10 A g–1) and extraordinary cycling stability (342 mAh g–1 after 6000 cycles at 1 A g–1). Furthermore, a full cell with Sb NTs as anode and Na3(VOPO4)2F as cathode exhibits a high energy density (252 Wh kg–1) and high output voltage (2.7 V), revealing their significant application promise in the next-generation SIBs.

Antimony is a competitive and promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity. However, the poor rate capability and fast capacity fading greatly restrict its practical application. To address the above issues, a facile and eco-friendly sacrificial template method is developed to synthesize hollow Sb nanoparticles impregnated in open carbon boxes (Sb HPs@OCB). The as-obtained Sb HPs@OCB composite exhibits excellent sodium storage properties even when operated at an elevated temperature of 50 °C, delivering a robust rate capability of 345 mAh g −1 at 16 A g −1 and rendering an outstanding reversible capacity of 187 mAh g −1 at a high rate of 10 A g −1 after 300 cycles. Such superior electrochemical performance of the Sb HPs@OCB can be attributed to the comprehensive characteristics of improved kinetics derived from hollow Sb nanoparticles impregnated into 2D carbon nanowalls, the existence of robust Sb O C bond, and enhanced pseudocapacitive behavior. All those factors enable Sb HPs@OCB great potential and distinct merit for large-scale energy storage of SIBs.

Antimony selenosulfide (Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 ) solar cells hold significant promise for sustainable photovoltaic technology due to their adjustable band gap, high absorption coefficient and good stability. In terms of device operation, the transfer of electrons from the Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 layer to the electron transport layer (ETL) plays a crucial role in improving the photovoltaic performance of solar cells. Until now, high-efficiency Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cells have typically employed cadmium sulfide (CdS) as the ETL. However, inadequate interface contact between the CdS and the Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 layer often results in severe interface recombination, and the parasitic light absorption of CdS restricts the short-circuit current density ( J sc ). Therefore, the development of high-quality CdS film along with reduction of cadmium element usage remains an import issue for the Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cells. Herein, the poly(acrylic acid)-modified tin oxide (PAA-SnO 2 )/CdS double ETLs are introduced to improve the quality of both the CdS film and Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 film, while also strengthening the interface contact between CdS and Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 . The power conversion efficiency of the corresponding solar cells increases from 7.45% in the control device to 8.15% in the modified device. This work provides a simple PAA-modified SnO 2 -assisted CdS ETL strategy to improve the interface of CdS/Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 , thereby achieving efficient and stable Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cells.

The evaluation of the flow direction of platinum group elements (PGEs) during gold-copper ore mining is challenging due to the uneven distribution and low content. Therefore, it is vital to accurately and simultaneously determine ultra-trace PGEs Pt, Pd, Rh, and Ir in gold mining residue samples. In this study, a method to simultaneously determine ultra-trace Pt, Pd, Rh, and Ir in gold mining residue is reported using Sb–Cu fire assay, microwave digestion, and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The Sb–Cu fire assay was used to enrich Pt, Pd, Rh, and Ir, obtaining Sb–Cu alloy particles that concentrate these elements. An optimal microwave method was employed to digest the Sb–Cu alloy particles. In ICP-MS, the collision reaction interface was used to eliminate the interferences of other elements and improve the accuracy. Moreover, the matrix-matched multi-external standards combined with internal standard calibration were utilized to reduce the error. High concentrations of Au, Ag, and Pb showed no interferences with Pt, Pd, Rh, or Ir determination. The limits of detection for Pt, Pd, Rh, and Ir were 0.018, 0.052, 0.064, 0.035 ng·g−1, respectively, and the relative standard deviation was 5.18, 4.66, 1.55, and 3.17%. Additionally, the determination of Pt, Pd, Rh, and Ir in standard reference materials showed good agreement with the certified values. In summary, a reliable and efficient method is provided to determine various PGEs which is of great significance for gold-copper ore mining.

As a leading sodium-ion battery cathode material, O3-type layered oxides combine excellent theoretical specific capacity and cost-effectiveness, offering potential solutions for the large-scale energy storage industry. However, they still struggle with significant capacity degradation and inferior battery performance due to the narrow Na+ diffusion channels and complex phase. In this paper, we introduce Sb ions into the NaNi0.3Fe0.2Mn0.5O2 cathode material to improve its electrochemical performance. Our findings demonstrate that doping Sb results in an expansion of the Na layer spacing and cell volume, contributing to faster diffusion of Na+. Furthermore, the Na+/vacancy ordering and undesirable phase transition under high pressure are inhibited in the synthesized Na(Ni0.3Fe0.2Mn0.5)0.98Sb0.02O2 cathode material, which obtains a more boosting structure and advanced electrochemical performance. Within the voltage range of 2.0–4.2 V, the cathode material possesses an initial discharge specific capacity of 127.71 mAh g–1 and maintains a capacity retention of 82.34% (64.33% before doping) after 100 cycles. Moreover, at a 10 C current density, a high discharge specific capacity of 90.26 mAh g–1 is observed in the doped material. These results contribute essential insights for the design and advancement of cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries with outstanding properties.
