The detection of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) at room temperature is crucial for environmental monitoring and public health, but achieving high sensitivity and selectivity remains a challenge. In this study, we developed an In₂O₃/MoS₂ gas sensor via the electrostatic self-assembly method for NO₂ sensing. Owing to the addition of MoS 2 , the composite sensitive materials obtained an increased the specific surface area and improved charge transfer ability. Therefore, the In₂O₃/MoS₂ compsites exhibited enhanced NO₂ sensing performance compared to the pure In₂O₃ nanoparticles.

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), the main component of pollutants in atmospheric environments, causes and exacerbates respiratory diseases, especially during outdoor sports even at the 100 ppb level. Currently, environmental gas detection still faces challenges such as high detection limits, low SNR, and low sensitivity. A NO2 sensor based on In(OH)3-α-Fe2O3–ZnO was prepared using a hydrothermal method, featuring an ultralow detection limit of 82 ppt, an exceptionally high SNR of 574,000, and an ultrahigh sensitivity of 252.25 mV/ppm (100 ppb to 1 ppm). And this sensor exhibits excellent response, selectivity, and repeatability. These excellent sensing characteristics come from the adsorbed oxygen on the surface of the material with the formation of n–n heterojunctions. Additionally, a low-power, portable, and cost-effective environmental monitoring system (named Smart Breath Sentinel (SBS)) was designed to intelligently upgrade ordinary masks. SBS enables real-time wireless environmental gas monitoring with integrated humidity compensation to ensure accurate measurements in high-humidity environments. SBS has already been tested in multiple environments, and the test results have proven the feasibility of SBS. This sensor based on In(OH)3-α-Fe2O3–ZnO demonstrates significant potential for applications aimed at enhancing human safety.

The M/SSZ-39 catalysts (M = In, Co, Cu, Fe) with different metal species and metal loadings were synthesized using the wet impregnation method on a small-pore SSZ-39 molecular sieve. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption-dehydrogenation and hydrogen temperature program reduction (H2-TPR) were employed to characterize the effects of various metal components and metal loadings on the performance of CH4 selective catalytic reduction of NO reaction (CH4-SCR). The characterization results showed that the In/SSZ-39 catalyst exhibited significantly higher catalytic activity compared to the Cu-, Co-, and Fe/SSZ-39 catalysts, suggesting that indium (In) is a more suitable active ingredient for the CH4-SCR reaction. The xIn/SSZ-39 (x = 1, 2, 3, x represents the In loadings of 1.0 wt%, 2.0 wt% and 3.0 wt%) catalysts, with different In loadings, all present excellent CH4-SCR performance. By varying the In loadings, the type of In species present in the catalyst can be regulated, thus enhancing DeNOx activity and CH4 selectivity in the CH4-SCR reaction. At a low temperature of 400 °C and a low CH4/NO feed ratio (CH4/NO = 1), the 3In/SSZ-39 catalyst, featuring highly active InOx clusters, achieves the best low-temperature CH4-SCR performance, with a high NO conversion rate of up to 90% and a CH4 selectivity of up to 74.2%.

Hetero-structured nanocomposite membranes have great potential in advanced gas separation due to the synergy of hierarchical pores. Herein, we report a MOF (metal–organic framework)-in-COF (covalent organic framework) layer supported on a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) ultrafiltration substrate prepared by a contra-diffusion reaction of MOF inside a one-dimensional (1D) pore-channels of COF layer. Such 1D confinement-induced membrane features a unique ultramicropore-in-nanopore structure, which intensifies the molecular sieving while preserving high-speed transfer pathways. The prepared ZIF-67-in-TAPB-BPDA-PAN membrane exhibited an excellent helium (He) permeance of ∼1500 GPU together with an enhanced separation selectivities of 3.89 for He/N 2 and 5.38 for He/CH 4 , respectively. The overall performance is competitive among the reported He-selective membranes. A continuous gas permeation test for 100 h indicates good stability. This work would bring insights into the engineering and preparation of nanocomposite functional materials applied in various separation fields.

The in-situ polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane (PDOL) in battery cells has attracted extensive attention, however, the differences of Lewis acid initiators on the DOL monomer conversion (C%) and electrochemical properties has been ignored. Here, it is demonstrated that compare with Sn(OTf) 2 Lewis acid initiator, the gelation of DOL is achieved at the lower addition of In(OTf) 3 . By optimizing their content in the gelation process, their C% are comparable which are 95.7 % and 93.5 % for In(OTf) 3 and Sn(OTf) 2 , respectively. However, the higher ionic conductivity (7.1 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at room temperature), electrochemical window (~4.5 V) and Li + transference number (0.42) are obtained for DOL initiated with In(OTf) 3 , due to its lower molecular weight which is helpful to the intermolecular Li + transport along PDOL main chain; In addition, the Li/Li symmetrical cell of In(OTf) 3 can be stably cycled for >500 h at 3 mA cm −2 , with an over-potential of 178mv. The storage and cycling impedances of half cells further proves the stable interface of In(OTf) 3 initiated DOL toward to lithium metal in comparison with those of Sn(OTf) 2 . Scanning electron microscopy results show a denser and thinner interface in the DOL catalyzed by In(OTf) 3 . Finally, the assembled Li/LiFePO 4 battery delivers specific discharge capacity and capacity retention rates of 115.5mAh g −1 and 85 %, respectively after 300 cycles at 1C. Through the initiator selection, the DOL synthesis and electrochemical properties can be tuned, which further broadens the design idea of PDOL based solid polymer electrolyte.

Machine learning-assisted synthesis of new materials has been an ongoing hot topic. Luminescent Ag–Zn–In–S quaternary semiconductor quantum dot thin films have great application potential in many fields because of their excellent photoelectric performance. In this study, an environmentally friendly ionic liquid-assisted approach was employed to prepare high-performance Ag–Zn–In–S luminescent thin films, and machine learning methods were applied to screen the optimal preparation conditions. The photoluminescence (PL) performance, crystal structure, and morphology of the thin films were also been studied. The initial data set was obtained by high-throughput experiments. By comparing machine learning algorithms of Xgboost, Random Forest, Bagging, SVM, Extra Tree, and Gradient Boosting, the Random Forest achieved the best accuracy (r = 0.84, R 2 = 0.847) and was selected to predict the optimal preparation conditions of Ag–Zn–In–S quaternary quantum dot thin films. The machine learning predicted results are in great agreement with the subsequent experimental results, which verifies the accuracy and effectiveness of the machine learning model. This study offers a theoretical foundation for preparing optimal inorganic quantum dot luminescent materials using machine learning.

Herein, we demonstrated a seed-mediated growth method for the synthesis of ternary AgInS2 (AIS) and quaternary Ag–In–Zn–S (AIZS) nanocrystals (NCs) by means of a partial cation exchange with In3+ and Zn2+ ions. Binary Ag2S NCs with different sizes were synthesized first, which then acted as the seeds to prepare different-sized AIS NCs through the incorporation of In3+. The formation mechanism of AIS NCs was studied in terms of the temporal evolution of the morphology and crystal structure, and the heterostructured Ag2S-AIS NCs were formed as intermediates during the growth process of AIS NCs. Variation in the Ag/In feeding ratios from 1 : 1 to 1 : 3 led to a broad tuning of the optical band gap and photoluminescence (PL) maximum of AIS NCs, in which very small-sized AIS NCs with a tetragonal phase were obtained. Subsequently, the incorporation of Zn2+ into AIS NCs resulted in the widening of the optical band gap and the shift of the PL maximum to higher energy with the enhancement of the absolute PL quantum yields (PLQYs). When the reaction temperature was increased, the PL emission maximum could be tuned from 2.04 to 2.33 eV and the absolute PLQYs could be tuned from 16% to 58%. Time-resolved PL spectroscopy was used to study the PL decay dynamics of the AIS and AIZS NCs, and the PL emission was related to the recombination of the surface-related states, intrinsic defects and donor–acceptor (D–A) pairs. The ternary and quaternary Ag-based semiconductor NCs have long-lived excitons, which may have promising applications in the field of energy conversion.

The development of highly efficient strategy to facilitate comprehensive charge transmission and effective spatial charge separation is expected as a promising approach to improve photocatalytic performance. Herein, the Fe(III) doping modified AgI/NH 2 -MIL-68(In/Fe) Z-scheme heterojunction (ANM-x composite) with unique internal and interfacial charge transmission performance was fabricated by a facile ion exchange precipitation method. The optimized ANM-50 composite exhibits the maximum photocatalytic activity for the degradation of tetracycline, which is about 9.54, 2.61 and 1.86 times higher than that of pure NH 2 -MIL-68In, NH 2 -MIL-68(In/Fe) and AgI, respectively. The characterization results displayed that Ag nanoparticles (NPs) were generated during the photocatalytic procedure, which not only served as a charge transfer-highway, but also reduced the charge flow energy barrier, thereby accelerating charge transfer efficiency and consolidating the stability of the Z-scheme heterojunction. Mechanism exploration reflected that the superior photocatalytic performance was associated with synergetic effect among the introduced Fe(III), constructed ANM Z-scheme heterojunction and the generated Ag NPs, which significantly expands visible light response range and promotes more effective internal and interfacial charge separation. This research not only designs an efficient photocatalyst for decomposing tetracycline, but also opens a new perspective for rational developing Z-scheme heterojunction with unique internal and interfacial charge flow steering.

As a promising energy-saving technique, the eco-friendly and low-cost solid-state white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) based on quantum dots (QDs) have been widely studied. Herein, a WLED device prepared by core–shell structure nanocomposites based on Ag-In-S/ZnS@SiO 2 quantum dots (AIS@SiO 2 ) and carbon quantum dots (CDs) was successfully constructed. CDs were combined onto the surface of AIS@SiO 2 QDs to synthesize Ag-In-S/ZnS@SiO 2 -Carbon quantum dots (AIS-CDs) nanocomposites with a white-light emission, which successfully overcome the quenching effect of CDs induced by conventional aggregation. The as-prepared AIS-CDs nanocomposites presented high stability and a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 35%. Moreover, the corresponding AIS-CDs nanocomposites-based WLEDs demonstrated the color coordinate of (0.32, 0.33), which is comparable to the pure white light (0.33, 0.33); furthermore, the luminous efficiency of the as-prepared WLEDs showed 15.1 lm W −1 . These results reported herein may open up a new avenue for the development of high-performance, low-cost, and environmentally-friendly WLEDs.

For the first time, visible-light-driven g-C 3 N 4 /MIL-68(In)-NH 2 heterojunction composites with high photocatalytic activity were prepared for the degradation of ibuprofen (IBP) using an in-situ solvothermal synthesis method assisted with ultrasonication. The composites achieved intensive visible-light absorption, enhanced separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, and high adsorption capacity, thus achieving excellent photocatalytic degradation for IBP. Among all the composites, 10 wt% g-C 3 N 4 /MIL-68(In)-NH 2 exhibited the maximum photocatalytic rate (0.01739 min −1 ), 19.28 and 2.00 times higher than those of g-C 3 N 4 and MIL-68(In)-NH 2 , respectively. Moreover, the pH, ibuprofen concentration, and catalyst dosages played important roles both in photodegradation and adsorption. In addition, the photocatalytic mechanism was also elucidated, demonstrating that h + was the main reactive species, followed by OH and O 2 − radicals, responsible for the degradation of IBP. Finally, seven aromatic intermediates of IBP were identified, and five possible degradation pathways were proposed, mainly involving hydroxylation, aldehyde oxidation, decarboxylation, and dehydrogenization reactions.

Graphical By changing Cu/In molar ratios of Cu−In−Se QDs from 0.3 : 1 to 0.9 : 1, the photoluminescence spectra displayed a remarkable red-shift from 700 nm to 1050 nm. Although there was a blue-shift after the introduction of Zn 2+ dopants. in Cu−In−Se QDs, a significant red-shift occurred from 660 nm to 760 nm when the Zn/Cu molar ratios decreased from 0.7 : 0.3 to 0.3 : 0.7. These results confirmed the strong effect of the Cu/In and Zn/Cu molar ratios on the intrinsic and dopants states related-transition channels, including the band-edge, conduction band-intragap acceptor, as well as the donor-acceptor. The large structural tolerance of I–III–VI group quantum dots (QDs) to off-stoichiometry allows their photoluminescence properties to be adjusted via doping, thereby enabling application in different fields. However, the photophysical processes underlying their photoluminescence mechanism remain significantly unknown. In particular, the transition channels of CuInSe 2 QDs, which are altered by intrinsic and extrinsic intragap states, remain poorly reported. Herein, we investigated the photophysical processes associated with intragap states via electrochemical and optical techniques by using copper deficient Cu−In−Se QDs as well as Zn doped Cu−In−Se QDs. When the Cu/In molar ratios of Cu−In−Se QDs increased from 0.3 : 1 to 0.9 : 1, the photoluminescence spectra displayed a red-shift from 700 nm to 1050 nm. Although there was a blue-shift after the introduction of Zn 2+ dopants in Cu−In−Se QDs, a significant red-shift occurred (from 660 nm to 760 nm) when the Zn/Cu molar ratios decreased from 0.7 : 0.3 to 0.3 : 0.7. The Gaussian deconvolution results of the photoluminescence spectra and the band gap derived from absorption spectra by fitting supported the fact that the optical transition channels are dependent on the Cu/In and Zn/Cu molar ratios. After the introduction of the Zn 2+ ions, the alloyed-resultant blue-shift of the emission spectra was observed, primarily due to the enlarged band gap; however, the radiative recombination of prominent intrinsic intragap states is still observed; and only a small proportion of the band-edge exciton undergoes recombination for the sample with low Zn content. Cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed well-defined extrinsic Zn Cu intragap states (Zn substitution on Cu sites) and intrinsic Cu x (x= 1+/2+) states in the band gap. The results presented here provide a better understanding of the varying effects of dopant on photoluminescence in terms of I–III–VI group QDs.

Pr/In/Nd composite oxides with different Pr/In/Nd ratios were successfully prepared using a simple solid state reaction at 873 K. The composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area measurements, photoluminescence (PL) spectra and UV–vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy (UV–vis DRS). The photocatalytic activity of Pr/In/Nd composite oxides was investigated by the degradation of methyl orange (MO) in an aqueous solution under UV and visible light irradiation. It is found that compared with pure In 2 O 3 , the absorption intensity of the Pr/In/Nd composite oxide (Pr/In/Nd=1:8:1) increases in the 200–800 nm light region and the absorption edge has a shift to longer wavelength. In addition, the Pr/In/Nd composite oxide (Pr/In/Nd=1:8:1) shows higher UV and visible light photocatalytic activities than pure In 2 O 3 . The remarkably enhanced photocatalytic activities could be mainly attributed to the fact that proper introduction of Pr 2 O 3 and Nd 2 O 5 increased the BET surface area of In 2 O 3 , improved the separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes, and enhanced the absorption intensity in 200–800 nm light region. The effect of various radical scavengers on the degradation of MO showed that OH, O 2 − , h + and H 2 O 2 , especially O 2 − , jointly dominated the photodegradation process of MO under UV light irradiation.
