A series of In/Ga-based MIL-68s, with batch molar ratios of In(III) to Ga(III) (In/Ga ratio) equaling 5 : 0, 4 : 1, 3 : 2, 1 : 1, 2 : 3, 1 : 4, and 0 : 5, were solvothermally prepared. Calcinating the as-prepared MOFs at 500 °C for 3 h produced a series of mesoporous In/Ga oxides (IGOs) of hexagonal morphology with a characteristic main pore radius of 3 nm to 12 nm, and a specific surface area of up to 60–135 m2 g−1. Studies on the ethanol gas-sensing properties of the as-prepared IGOs revealed that the two IGOs produced from MIL-68 with In/Ga ratios of 3 : 2 and 1 : 1 present high response values of 80–110 towards 300 ppm ethanol and a low detection limit of no more than 2 ppm. However, the response value of In2O3, produced from MIL-68 with an In/Ga ratio of 5 : 0, was 11 towards 300 ppm ethanol. At the same time, the two IGO samples exhibited a high response to ethanol, which was more than 2.6 times higher than response values towards CH3CHO, CH3COCH3, H2, CO, CH4, and NO2, at a concentration of 300 ppm. This gas-sensing performance is suggested to be attributed to their comparatively larger specific surface area, and remarkable oxygen vacancy capabilities.

The application of Ga-based compounds in medical and industrial fields could induce accumulation of gallium in the human body, and further exert certain Ga-toxic effect on health. So it is very important for gallium detection in biological aspects and different environments. Fluorescent analysis owning various merits surpass other analytic methods and received great attention recently. In this work, a biomimetic crab-like fluorescent probe denoted as NL was designed and successfully synthesized, which can selectively recognize Ga 3+ from other metal ions in acetate buffer/DMSO ( v/v = 1/1, pH = 5. 2), and the limit of detection was 12. 89 nM. Moreover, this probe can detect Ga 3+ in complex environments, such as human serum and urine, pork, rabbit kidney and rabbit liver, and even in simulated pollution water. Besides, the proposed method can provide portable test for Ga 3+ and reach a detection limit to 1. 2 mg/Kg by naked eye under ultraviolet irradiation, which is lower than the toxic concentration (4 mg/Kg) of Ga 3+ permitted in organs. The results indicated that NL can be further applied in clinical examination and environmental detection, and the biomimetic designing can provide reference to the development of other fluorescent sensors.

The exceptional electron transport performance and high stability of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) make it widely used in the electron transport layer (ETL). However, the presence of numerous surface defects in TiO 2 layer can lead to unnecessary non-radiative recombination, which reduces carrier mobility and affects the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Therefore, tremendous researches have been focused on reducing surface defects and improving carrier mobility in TiO 2 layer. In this study, we adopted metal gallium (Ga) with high conductivity at room temperature as an optimization strategy to enhance the performance of TiO 2 layer. By incorporating metal Ga into the TiO 2 precursor solution, we successfully fabricated a TiO 2 -Ga layer that exhibits reduced surface defects and optimized energy level structure. This provides an efficient pathway for electron transport in perovskite layer. Experimental results demonstrate that (methyl ammonium lead tribromide) MAPbBr 3 perovskite solar cell devices based on TiO 2 -Ga layer achieve nearly 24% higher PCE compared to those based on pure TiO 2 layer. This successful optimization strategy utilizing metal Ga offers novel insights and approaches for enhancing the performance of PSCs.

A series of L-lactide (LLA), 1,3-trimethylene carbonate (TMC) and glycolide (GA) terpolymers (LTG) of different monomer molar ratios were synthesized by using ring-opening copolymerization. An effective and low-toxic zirconium (IV) acetylacetonate Zr(Acac) 4 was used as catalyst. The viscosity-average molecular weights ( M η ) of obtained polymers were all above 2.2×10 4 g/mol. The chemical structure and viscosity of terpolymers were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 HNMR), 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance ( 13 CNMR) and an Ubbelohde viscometer. The thermal and mechanical properties were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and stress-strain measurements. Results suggested that all terpolymers were amorphous and showed good thermal stability. Also it was found that elongation increased with the decreasing of LLA unit. More importantly, terpolymers displayed shape memory property when deformation temperatures were 14-15 °C above T g .

Gallium-based liquid metals are considered as promising catalysts for electrochemical CO 2 reduction due to their ability to effectively prevent the adhesion of byproduct carbon, which leads to the deactivation of electrode materials. In order to increase the specific area of liquid alloys, Ga-Sn thin liquid films were electrodeposited from a deep eutectic solvent composed of acetamide and dimethyl sulfone. Electrodeposition of Ga-Sn thin films with varying compositions that follow normal deposition behavior achieved, resulting in Sn rich in overall composition. To obtain Ga-rich thin liquid films, a straight forward and efficient two-step electrodeposition approach was employed. A layer of Ga thin film was firstly electrodeposited on the substrate, followed by electrodepositing a Sn layer. The prepared Ga-Sn thin films were applied for electrochemical reduction of CO 2 in a CO 2 -saturated 0.1 M KHCO 3 solution. Ga-Sn alloy with 91.6 at% Ga was in the liquid state at 25℃ and showed an excellent performance in reduction CO 2 to formate. The Faradaic efficiency reached 80 % and the partial current density was 46 mA cm −2 .

Herein, we have achieved successful preparation of atomically dispersed catalytic systems, liquid metal Pt x /Ga catalysts, which eliminate the need for reduction processes. Notably, the 0.5 wt% Pt x /Ga catalyst exhibited exceptional stability in hydrogenation performance, achieving 100 % conversion of stearic acid with an impressive 98.7 % selectivity towards octadecane, especially with unprecedented stability over 19 recycling cycles. X-ray absorption spectra (XPS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations unequivocally establish that isolated Pt atoms, benefitting from charge transfer from the Ga matrix, synergistically optimize Pt metal atom utilization, thereby efficaciously optimizing the d-band center and augmenting hydrogenation proficiency. Furthermore, isolated Pt configuration's weaker CO adsorption ability effectively mitigates concerns of catalyst poisoning and undesirable agglomeration, thereby engendering superior stability. The stronger adsorption with aldehyde and alcohol intermediates promotes the hydrogenation of stearic acid through hydrodehydration pathway, thereby ensuring a high carbon utilization economy. Overall, our work offers insight into the investigation of hydrogenation conversion of bio-derivatives over atomically dispersed catalytic systems.

Owing to their environmental friendliness and excellent luminescent properties, lead-free copper-based halide perovskites have attracted significant attention for use in next-generation optoelectronic devices. In this work, Ga-doped Cs3Cu2I5 phosphors derived from CsCu2I3 were synthesized using a high-temperature solid-state method. Ga doping effectively modulated the crystal growth behavior and electronic structure, enabling high-performance emission tuning. The optimized material exhibited high-color-purity blue emission centered at ∼446 nm, with a CIE color purity as high as 97.7%. Owing to its exceptional optical properties, a blue LED device was fabricated, exhibiting stable and high-color-purity emission, thereby highlighting its practical potential for high-resolution display technologies and solid-state lighting applications. Furthermore, the material demonstrates remarkable water-induced color-switching behavior, enabling reversible color changes upon exposure to water. This characteristic renders it a promising candidate for applications in anticounterfeiting and information encryption. This study provides new insights and strategic directions for the development of copper-based perovskites aimed at achieving high-color-purity blue emission and multifunctional intelligent material applications.

The manipulation of silver nanoclusters' luminescence performance in heteroatom zeolite was rarely reported. In this research, the heteroatom Ga-FAU zeolites were synthesized together with the Al FAU zeolite, based on which a series of Ag nanoclusters loaded Al FAUAg and mGa FAUAg zeolites were prepared. The spectroscopy characterization indicated that emission intensity of silver nanoclusters is greatly enhanced in Ga-containing zeolites compared to that in Al FAUAg, and meanwhile, the excitation and emission peak showed redshift and blueshift, respectively, with the introduction and increasing proportion of Ga atoms in mGa FAUAg. The TD-DFT method was carried out on the [Ag 3 Ga x D6r] + (x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) clusters to study the effect of framework Ga on the luminescence properties of Ag 3 + in the D6r cavity of FAU zeolite, which suggested that the S 1 → S 0 transition of Ag 3 + is responsible for the radiative visible emission. Moreover, the low-energy shift for S 3 → S 0 transition and high-energy shift for S 1 → S 0 transition were observed with increasing x value in [Ag 3 Ga x D6r] + clusters, which is in accordance with the experimental observation. This research provided an alternative method for the manipulation of silver nanoclusters' luminescence performance by using heteroatom zeolite, which contributed to the design of solid phosphors with desirable emission.

Advancements in proton-exchange membrane water electrolyzer depend on developing oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts that synergize high activity with stability. Here, we introduce an approach aimed at elevating oxygen evolution reaction performance by enhancing the spatiotemporal coordination of oxygen radicals to promote efficient O-O coupling. A dense, single-atom configuration of oxygen radical donors within interconnected RuO 2 nanocrystal framework is demonstrated. The stable oxygen radicals on gallium sites with adaptable Ga-O bonds are thermodynamically favorable to attract those from Ru sites, addressing dynamic adaptation challenges and boosting O-O coupling efficiency. The optimized catalyst achieves a low overpotential of 188 mV at 10 mA cm -2 , operates robustly for 800 h at 100 mA cm -2 in acidic conditions, and shows a large current density of 3 A cm -2 at 1.788 V, with stable performance at 0.5 A cm -2 for 200 h, confirming its long-term viability in proton-exchange membrane water electrolyzer applications.

A magnetic metal–organic framework nanocomposite (magnetic MIL-68(Ga)) was synthesized through a “one pot” reaction and used for heavy metal ion removal. The morphology and elemental properties of the nanocomposite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), as well as zeta potential. Moreover, the factors affecting the adsorption capacity of the nanocomposite, including time, pH, metal ion type and concentration, were studied. It was found that the adsorption capacity of magnetic MIL-68(Ga) for Pb2+and Cu2+was 220 and 130 mg/g, respectively. Notably, the magnetic adsorbents could be separated easily using an external magnetic field, regenerated by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA-Na2) and reused three times, in favor of practical application. This study provides a reference for the rapid separation and purification of heavy metal ions from wastewater.Keywords:MOF;magnetic separation;heavy metal ions;adsorption

To enhance the room-temperature lithium-ion conductivity and interfacial stability of Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 1 2 (LLZO) solid-state electrolytes, a co-doping strategy with Ga 3 + and Nb 5 + was employed. By systematically optimizing the sintering protocol — including heating rate, temperature, and dwell time — highly dense and phase-pure cubic-phase LLZO ceramics were successfully synthesized. The co-doping approach effectively stabilized the cubic garnet structure and regulated the lattice framework to facilitate Li + transport pathways. Under optimized conditions, compared to undoped LLZO (0.31 mS cm − 1 , 0.362 eV), the co-doped ceramic exhibited significantly enhanced total ionic conductivity (0.81 mS cm − 1 ) and reduced activation energy (0.207 eV), confirming the superior transport performance enabled by the co-doping strategy. Furthermore, the electrolyte showed good wettability and interfacial compatibility with metallic lithium, enabling stable cycling performance in symmetric Li∥Ga/Nb-LLZO∥Li cells over short durations. These results confirm the practical potential of the co-doped LLZO electrolyte in all-solid-state lithium batteries. This study provides a viable pathway for the material design and processing of high-performance LLZO-based solid electrolytes.

To address the challenge of antibiotic residue remediation, this study employed a hydrothermal method to in-situ construct a bimetallic indium/gallium-based MIL-68 heterostructure on the surface of two-dimensional montmorillonite (MMT). By integrating metal node electronic structure regulation with interface engineering strategies, it provides a feasible approach to improve the low charge carrier separation efficiency in metal-organic framework (MOFs) materials. Experimental results demonstrate that when the MMT loading is 20%, the composite material exhibits obvious enhanced photocatalytic performance for the degradation of 40 mg/L tetracycline solution, with a degradation rate of up to 97% within 60 min using 10 mg of catalyst. This improvement is attributed to the synergistic effect of In/Ga bimetals and the interface charge transfer channels of the MMT 2D matrix, which together induce a Z-type charge carrier migration mechanism, enhancing the separation efficiency of photo-induced electron-hole pairs. After four cycles, the MIL-68(In/Ga)/MMT composite showed good cycling stability and demonstrated broad-spectrum degradation capability, achieving degradation rates of 99% and 79% for rhodamine B and methyl orange, respectively. This composite material shows good photocatalytic performance in dye degradation, providing new research insights for the field of photocatalytic degradation of pollutants.
