Conventional intercalation-type cathodes for lithium batteries are plagued by rapid capacity decay and unsatisfactory cycling lifespans when operating at subzero temperatures. Conversion-type iron fluoride seems to compensate for these setbacks due to its dramatic theoretical capacity via a three-electron transfer mechanism, but suffers from an irreversible solid–solid phase transition with the collapse of the charge-transporting tunnel and insulating LiF precipitation over the cathode–electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer. Herein, we propose a metal–organic framework in situ etching-fluorination strategy to construct a porous micron-brick monolithic grain cathode with rich heterojunctions of hexagonal tungsten bronze (HTB) FeF3 and rutile FeF2 with an epitaxial intergrowth mode. Owing to the optimized configuration with a self-healing built-in interfacial electric field, open diffusional channels, as well as topotactic conversion and catalyzing functions of FeF2 on Li–F splitting, this heterostructure fluoride enables a high energy density (1114 Wh kg–1 at 215 W kg–1) and high-rate performance (337 mAh g–1 at 1000 mA g–1) at room temperature. These effects also endow the cathode with outstanding low-temperature performance with an average capacity of 170 mAh g–1 for 100 cycles and a discharge capacity of 50 mAh under a 6-layer pouch cell configuration at −20 °C.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit diverse structures, encompassing a broad spectrum of electronic types ranging from metal, semiconductor, to insulator and topological insulator. They hold immense potential for both Moore and more-than-Moore device applications. Among them, manganese telluride (MnTe), an emerging nonlayered 2D material, has garnered considerable attention due to its exceptional properties and significant application potential in next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices. However, the controllable synthesis of ultra-thin 2D MnTe remains a great challenge, which hindering the comprehensive exploration of its fundamental properties and potential applications. In this study, we present the synthesis of large-area MnTe nanosheets through chemical vapor deposition growth, showcasing its thickness-dependent properties and device applications. By increasing the growth temperature from 500 to 750 °C, the MnTe nanosheets’ thickness transitions from thin-layer to a thick flake, the domain size increases from 10 to 125 μm, the morphology changes from triangle to hexagon, culminating in a highly symmetrical round shape. Structural characterization and second harmonic generation measurements reveal that the obtained MnTe nanosheets exhibit high crystallization quality and superior second-order optical nonlinearity. The field effect transistor (FET) constructed with thin-layer MnTe demonstrates a p-type semiconductor characteristic, transitioning to a semimetal feature as the thickness increases to a thick flake. Leveraging these thickness-dependent electrical conduction transition features, we explore diverse applications of MnTe with varying thicknesses. The semiconductive thin-layer MnTe, serving as the photosensitive channel in a device, achieves superior photoresponse, showcasing considerable potential for photodetection appliations. The semimetallic thick-layer MnTe, acting as the contact electrode in a MoS 2 FET, significantly enhances device performance, with carrier mobility increasing from 12.76 cm 2 V −1 s −1 (Au contact) to 47.34 cm 2 V −1 s −1 (MnTe contact). This work lays the foundation for the controllable synthesis of nonlayered 2D MnTe and provides insights into its prospective development for constructing innovative electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising for grid-scale storage due to their safety, low cost, and environmental benignity. However, water-dipole enrichment in the inner Helmholtz plane (IHP) of Zn anodes triggers hydrogen evolution, corrosion, and dendrites, limiting cycle life. We report a trace “ionic liquid–polar solvent coupling” strategy: adding only 0.01 M EMIMBF4and 0.03 M DMSO to 2 M ZnSO4electrolyte. Hydrophobic EMIM+adsorbs on the IHP to expel interfacial water, while BF4−enters the primary solvation shell and DMSO penetrates both first and second shells of Zn2+, forming a water-deficient coordination environment. This interfacial–solvation synergy suppresses parasitic reactions and directs preferentially oriented Zn deposition exclusively along the (101) facet, enabling dense vertical plating and in situ formation of a compact, inorganic-rich SEI (ZnCO3–ZnSO3–Zn(OH)2). Consequently, Zn||Zn cells cycle stably for >5362 h at 1 mA cm−2/1 mAh cm−2; Zn||Cu cells achieve 1300 cycles with 99.8% average Coulombic efficiency; and Zn||V2O5full cells retain 326.4 mAh g−1after 500 cycles. This work shows that minimal additive loading can simultaneously engineer the electrode–electrolyte interface and crystallographic deposition pathway, offering a simple yet robust design for ultra-stable AZIBs.

Upconversion core–shell nanoparticles have attracted a large amount of attention due to their multifunctionality and specific applications. In this work, based on a NaGdF4 sub-10 nm ultrasmall nanocore, a series of core–shell upconversion nanoparticles with uniform size doped with Yb3+, Er3+ and NaDyF4 shells with different thicknesses were synthesized by a facile sequential growth process. NaDyF4 coated upconversion luminescent nanoparticles showed an obvious fluorescence quenching under excitation at 980 nm as a result of energy resonance transfer between Yb3+, Er3+ and Dy3+. NaGdF4:Yb,Er@NaDyF4 core–shell nanoparticles with ultrathin layer shells exhibited a better T1-weighted MR contrast.

Combining two metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with different compositions and structures is an effective way to grow MOF-on-MOF materials. MOF-on-MOF-derived Fe2O3/CoFe2O4 nanocomposites were constructed by epitaxial growth method and high-temperature heat treatment. The morphology and structure of Fe2O3/CoFe2O4 were modulated by varying different organic ligands, and their effects on the detection properties of Pb2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, and Cd2+ were explored. Co3O4 microspheres acted as stabilizing seeds, and typical samples of Fe2O3/CoFe2O4-2 nanocomposites showed spherical nanoparticles of the core–shell type with an average diameter of about 55–60 nm. Meanwhile, compared with individual MOF derivatives, the surface of MOF-on-MOF derivative materials had higher electrical conductivity and active surface area by high-temperature heat treatment, thus promoting efficient adsorption of a wide range of heavy metal ions (HMIs). Furthermore, Fe2O3/CoFe2O4-2/GCE exhibited excellent electrochemical detection performance for the simultaneous detection of Pb2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, and Cd2+ with low limit of detection (LOD) of 2.98, 8.56, 4.44, and 5.40 nM, respectively. By two-by-two and three-by-three assays, promoting and inhibiting effects of different HMIs were observed on the target ions. This work is significant for the development of high-performance MOF-on-MOF-derived Fe2O3/CoFe2O4 nanocomposites for real-time environmental monitoring.

One-dimensional (1D) tellurium (Te) nanowires (NWs) have triggered intense attention due to their remarkable properties in electronics, optoelectronics and nonlinear optics . However, the saturable absorption properties of Te NWs and the ability to be bleached by strong pulsed energy need to be further improved. Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures based on two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) exhibit prominent nonlinear optical properties . Direct epitaxial growth of large-area 1D/2D Te-TMDC vdW heterostructures is still rarely investigated. Herein, we demonstrate the controllable epitaxial growth of large-scale 1D/2D vertical Te-TMDC heterostructures via two-step vapor phase deposition method . Our experimental results have confirmed that the saturable absorption properties of as-prepared Te-TMDC heterostructures can be obviously enhanced. The first principle calculations and surface potential measurements demonstrate that effective interlayer charge transfer between Te NWs and TMDC nanosheets is beneficial for promoting the saturable absorption properties. Systematic investigation of vdW Te-TMDC heterostructures with nonlinear optical properties is vital for the next generation of nanophotonics and integrated photonics , which paves the way for the development of saturable absorbers and light modulators based on Te-TMDC vdW heterostructures.

It remains a grand challenge to control the island growth mode because a conformal growth is theoretically more favorable, in which the lattice mismatch between the overlayer and the substrate is negligible. Herein, we report the first example of “Frank–van der Merwe” mode and “Volmer–Weber” mode of Pd atoms on Boerdijk–Coxeter-type helical Au(111) nanowires. Quantitative analyses suggest that the pH-induced faster kinetic reduction rate (1.2 × 10−2 s−1) is a crucial factor to switch the Pd-growth mode from the conformal 4-atom-layers to ultrasmall islands. As a proof-of-concept application, the VW Au@Pd HNWs exhibit outstanding ORR activity (Eonset = 1.07 V, E1/2 = 0.91 V) and stability, outperforming FM Au@Pd NWs, Au(111) NWs, Pd black, and most reported electrocatalysts. Physical characterization systematically elucidated similar components, d-band center locations, and lattice distortions of both the representative structures, giving brand-new insights into the impact of their slightly different surface microstructures. In particular, the segmented oxyphilic–anaerobic interface of the VW Au@Pd HNWs directly balances the adsorbability of the intermediates; meanwhile, the interleaved lattice orientations favor multi-directional electron transmissions to promote ORR kinetics. This finding not only challenges the conventional wisdom of lattice-matched growth but also provides an identical model for the in-depth understanding of the structure–function relationship with a focus on the growth modes.

The ultimate goal of catalyst design is to optimize catalytic performance by revealing the relationship between structure and activity. However, it remains tremendously challenging to distinguish the role of electronic and ensemble effects in bimetallic core-shell electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). For this purpose, we demonstrate an efficient approach to local epitaxial growth of Rh atoms on Au decahedra to investigate the above-mentioned two effects. Among them, Au 75 Rh 25 core-shell star-shaped decahedra exhibited the best activity for HER with an overpotential of 64.1 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , which is about 39.4 mV less than that of commercial Rh/C. Density function theory (DFT) calculations revealed that ensemble effect is the dominant factor to accelerate the reaction kinetics of HER by exposing Au atoms on the surface and thus weakening the strong adsorption of the intermediates on Rh surface.

The poor moisture-resistant property of the commercial narrow band red-emitting K2SiF6:Mn4+ phosphor restricts its practical application in high performance warm WLEDs. Herein, we report epitaxial growth via simple ethanol-induced deposition to enhance the luminescence and moisture resistance of K2SiF6:Mn4+. Specifically, an appropriate amount of ethanol at the end of the synthesis leads to epitaxial growth of a K2SiF6:Mn4+ shell. The resultant K2SiF6:Mn4+@K2SiF6:Mn4+ presents higher photoluminescence intensity due to a high Mn4+ critical concentration in the K2SiF6:Mn4+ epitaxial shell. Furthermore, the epitaxial growth of the K2SiF6 shell on K2SiF6:Mn4+ is designed to conquer the moisture resistance. As expected, the formed K2SiF6:Mn4+@K2SiF6 retains 82% of the initial emission intensity after being immersed in water for 4 h and 90% after being exposed to high temperature and humidity (85 °C, 85%) for 10 days. By employing K2SiF6:Mn4+@K2SiF6 as a red phosphor, a packaged white LED exhibits excellent performance with a CRI of 96.5, a CCT of 2879 K and a luminous efficacy of 119.74 lm W−1. More importantly, this fabricated WLED device retains high luminous efficacy and undergoes minor chromatic coordinate changes when aged at high temperature and humidity (85 °C, 85%). Therefore, these findings not only illustrate the effect of ethanol addition on the photoluminescence intensity of Mn4+ doped phosphors in the synthesis process, but also provide a facile strategy to improve the moisture resistance of K2SiF6:Mn4+ for warm WLEDs in the future.

Metal halide perovskites have emerged as next-generation semiconductors for X-ray detection because of their excellent photoelectric properties. However, severe ion migration in three-dimensional (3D) halide perovskites usually causes dark current drift in radiation detectors, especially in high electric fields. Here, we report a liquid-phase epitaxial method based on inverse-temperature crystallization (ITC), with which a hybrid/all-inorganic 3D perovskite single-crystal heterojunction is constructed, using an orientated CsPbBr3 single crystal as a substrate. MAPbBr3–nCln/CsPbBr3 single-crystal heterojunctions and single-crystal arrays (through the addition of a mask onto the substrate) with good lattice matching were successfully constructed, laying the foundation for high-performance X-ray detectors. In particular, the MAPbBr3/CsPbBr3 heterojunction drastically enhances the X-ray response of the CsPbBr3 single crystal, with a record-high sensitivity of 2.0 × 105 μC Gyair–1 cm–2 and lowest detection limit of 96 nGyair s–1 for 120 keV hard X-ray detection. Moreover, the dark current drift caused by ion migration is suppressed to 3.92 × 10–4 nA cm–1 s–1 V–1 even in a high reverse electric field of −125 V mm–1. Based on the superior detection performance, it is confirmed that a robust and uniform X-ray imaging detector with good resolution was successfully devised using the heterojunction. Our study provides a simple strategy for constructing perovskite single-crystal heterojunction films and arrays that effectively suppress ion migration that otherwise occurs in 3D halide perovskite single crystals to enable the creation of robust ultrasensitive X-ray detection and imaging systems.

Papermaking wastewater has large output and high chemical oxygen demand (COD), which seriously affects the water environment. As a by-product of papermaking industry, lignin is the main contaminant that causes excessive COD value. Bismuth oxide is a potential catalyst for photocatalytic degradation of lignin-contained wastewater because of its high charge conduction performance and light corrosion resistance . However, the high electron-hole recombination rate and poor surface chemical state of pure Bi 2 O 3 seriously hinder the degradation efficiency. Herein, we designed an O V -Bi 2 O 3 /BiOCOOH heterojunction with oxygen vacancies and heterojunction coexisting for photocatalytic degradation of lignin. Temperature induced the oxidation of ethylene glycol into formic acid , resulting in the epitaxial growth of Bi 2 O 3 and forming a Bi 2 O 3 /BiOCOOH heterojunction. The heterojunction presents a tight interface by sharing the Bi-O tetrahedron, and provides a highway for the charge transfer. Meanwhile, the oxidation of ethylene glycol induces oxygen vacancies (O V s) on Bi 2 O 3 /BiOCOOH surface, forming charge trapping centers to promote electron transport and surface reactions. The degradation efficiency of O V -Bi 2 O 3 /BiOCOOH is approximately 3 and 16 times that of Bi 2 O 3 and BiOCOOH, respectively. The improvement of photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the synergy of heterojunction and oxygen vacancy, and the stability is attributed to covalent bonds tightly connected.

Due to their exceptional responses to X-ray exposure, lead halide perovskites are recognized as ideal candidates for high-spatial-resolution X-ray detectors. However, an effective method to deposit a large-area, submillimeter-thick, dense perovskite film for X-ray detection has been lacking. In this study, a strategy that combines saturated-solution-induced epitaxial growth with a large-area blade-coating process has been developed to produce large-size, submillimeter-thick CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite films. The successive deposition of a saturated precursor film does not dissolve the underlying perovskite film. Instead, it promotes epitaxial crystal growth by controlling the crystal growth rate over the nucleation rate. The obtained films exhibit a columnar grain structure with fewer pinholes and negligible residual lattice strain. As a result, under an X-ray source with a working voltage of 40 kV, the obtained thick CH3NH3PbBr3 film achieves X-ray sensitivity of up to 1938 μC Gyair–1 cm–2 under −3 V bias, a reduced dark current drift of 1.78 × 10–4 nA s–1 V–1, and a detection limit of 47 nGyair s–1 under a −2 V bias; all the above are among the best performances reported for the CH3NH3PbBr3-based X-ray detectors. Using the point-to-point current scanning method, a clear X-ray image could be obtained. This study presents an effective approach for producing thick, dense, and crack-free perovskite films directly on substrates for future X-ray detection applications.
