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.

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.

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

Ga-based liquid metal (LM) with high thermal conductivity is considered to be a promising thermal interface material (TIM) for electronic thermal devices; however, its pump-out and easy oxidation hinder its popularization. Herein, fluororubber (FKM) was selected as the sealing material to prevent the pump-out of eutectic Ga-In-Sn (EGaInSn) and reduce its oxidation during long-term extreme service conditions. After being placed in an oil bath at 125°C for 4 weeks, the FKM soaked in EGaInSn could still hinder the penetration of EGaInSn and maintain good elasticity and plasticity. When EGaInSn was applied to a radiator cap as TIM, the maximum radiator temperature at full load was 47% lower than that without TIM, and 14% lower than that with commercial thermal grease. Moreover, after experiments including 1000 h of high-temperature aging, 1000 h of constant temperature and humidity, and 1000 thermal shocks, there was no pump-out or apparent oxidation in the sealing structure with FKM.

Novel Sr 9 R(PO 4 ) 7 (R = In, Ga) host materials for Eu 3+ - doped phosphors were synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure, luminescence properties and thermal stability of the phosphors were explored. The phase analysis indicated that the phosphors crystallized in monoclinic structure, the emission spectra of both In and Ga containing phosphors were mainly composed of two sharp peaks centered at about 591 and 617 nm, corresponding to the 5 D 0 → 7 F 1 and 5 D 0 → 7 F 2 transitions of Eu 3+ ions. While, the relative emission and excitation intensities of Sr 9 In(PO 4 ) 7 : Eu 3+ were weaker than Sr 9 Ga(PO 4 ) 7 : Eu 3+ . Moreover, the energy transfer mechanism among Eu 3+ ions in the phosphors depended upon energy transfer among the nearest-neighbor ions described by the Dexter theory. The selected Sr 9 In(PO 4 ) 7 : 0.06Eu 3+ and Sr 9 Ga(PO 4 ) 7 : 0.06Eu 3+ exhibited high thermal stability and the chromaticity coordinate of the phosphors were located in the red-orange light region.

Herein, we report a series of tunable and highly efficient Ga 1.594-2 x Sc 0.4 Mg x Ge x O 3 :0.006Cr 3+ phosphors via regulating the crystal field environment in (Ga,Sc) 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ system. This material exhibits a gradual red-shift of the emission spectra from 784 to 814 nm, and a spectral broadening with FWHM increased from 138 nm to 169 nm as the increase of x value. However, the position of excitation peak has almost no variations in the blue light region, enabling it to be perfectly matched with blue LED chip. Upon 450 nm excitation, the IQE remains above 90% when x ≤ 0.08 (784 ≤λ em ≤ 803 nm); while the thermal stability decreases as the increase of x in the whole range. Finally, a prototype NIR pc-LED was fabricated via combining Ga 1. 35 4 Sc 0.4 Mg 0.12 Ge 0.12 O 3 :Cr 3+ phosphor with 450 nm blue LED chip, which shows an excellent NIR output power of 26.91 mW with high photoelectronic conversion efficiency of 9.70% under a driving current of 100 mA. Thus, this work provided a series of efficient NIR phosphors through local structure regulation, which may have great potential for spectroscopy application.

Amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (a-IGZO) powder was prepared by typical solution-based process and post-annealing process. The sample was used as sensor for detecting C2H5OH, H2, and CO. Gas-sensing performance was found to be highly sensitive to C2H5OH gas in a wide range of concentration (0.5–1250 ppm) with the response of 2.0 towards 0.5 ppm and 89.2 towards 1250 ppm. Obvious difference of response towards C2H5OH, H2, and CO was found that the response e.g., was 33.20, 6.64, and 2.84 respectively at the concentration of 200 ppm. The response time and recovery time of was 32 s and 14 s respectively towards 200 ppm concentration of C2H5OH gas under heating voltage of 6.5 V.

In this study, the adsorption capability of green algae-derived biochar was enhanced by integrating with iron sulfide, creating the FeS 0.66 @GA-BC 0.33 composite. The magnetic FeS 0.66 @GA-BC 0.33 composite exhibited excellent adsorption performance toward Cr(VI) with a maximal adsorption capacity of 423.73 mg/g. Surprisingly, the FeS 0.66 @GA-BC 0.33 composite showed fast adsorption, with an equilibrium time of 60 minutes. Furthermore, batch experiments showed that the maximum removal efficiency of Cr(VI) by FeS 0.66 @GA-BC 0.33 was 92.39% at pH 3, 20 °C, and an adsorbent dose of 0.01 g. The kinetic analysis indicated that the pseudo-second-order model best described the adsorption process, while the isotherm results showed good agreement with both the Langmuir and Freundlich models. A combination of response surface methodology (RSM) and Box–Behnken design (BBD) was used to optimize the adsorption of Cr(VI) onto FeS 0.66 @GA-BC 0.33 . The independent variables were adsorbent dose (5–30 mg), initial Cr(VI) concentration (50–300 mg/L), and contact time (1–120 min). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the maximum removal efficiency reached 99.09% at an adsorbent dose of 17.5 mg, an initial Cr(VI) concentration of 50 mg/L, and a contact time of 120 min. The Cr(VI) adsorption mechanism was proposed based on the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra of fresh and used FeS 0.66 @GA-BC 0.33 composites, suggesting the governing reduction reaction, electrostatic interaction, and coordination bond pathways on the adsorption of Cr(VI).

Low-toxicity quantum dots (QDs) based on group I-III-VI elements have attracted significant interest due to their color-tunability for wide-gamut displays. Nevertheless, the width of the blue-emitting peak remains considerably broader than those of the green and red counterparts, resulting in degraded color purity, restricted gamut coverage, and diminished energy efficiency in blue-emitting devices. Here, we report spectroscopically pure blue QDs (λ = 465 nm) with an ultranarrow FWHM of 36 nm, achieving excellent color purity for blue-emitting I-III-VI QDs. Employing a two-step hot-injection method with precise thickness control, this approach enables epitaxial growth of an atomically thin 0.35 nm thick AgGaS 2 (AGS) shell on Ag-In-Zn-Ga-S cores. Using in situ HRTEM on systematically synthesized AIZGS@AGS architectures, we directly captured the controlled epitaxial growth of this shell, revealing a clean core–shell interface. The high-crystallinity AGS shell passivates surface defects, narrowing the PL spectrum from 103 to 36 nm. Moreover, systematic In:Zn ratio tuning further affords AIZGS@AGS QDs that exhibit narrow linewidths and continuous spectral coverage across the blue region (465–509 nm). Our study provides an effective approach for high-quality I-III-VI blue QDs, demonstrating significant potential for advanced display applications.

Interfacial chemical locking enables stable Ga incorporation into solid lubricant coatings. • Ga (stress buffer), ZIF-8 (load support), graphene (shear reduction and transfer film) synergize. • Covalent bonds (Ga O, N H, Si-O-Si) prevent agglomeration and extrusion of metal under friction. Gallium-based liquid metals exhibit fluidity and reactivity at friction interfaces, creating a lubrication mode that merges liquid-film and solid-support effects. However, their incorporation into solid lubricant coatings faces critical challenges such as poor dispersion stability, insufficient load-bearing capacity, and a tendency to be squeezed out from the contact area. In this study, we successfully constructed an interface-stabilized, densely structured inorganic-organic composite coating, designated GaZGr-K-EP, by embedding a ZIF-8 framework into liquid gallium to stabilize its morphology, introducing graphene to mitigate the sedimentation of Ga/ZIF-8, and modifying the inorganic phase with KH550 to enable interfacial chemical bonding with the epoxy resin. This inorganic-organic interfacial bonding not only prevents coating failure during friction but also, for the first time, unlocks the solid lubrication and anti-wear mechanism of liquid gallium. In this mechanism, liquid gallium dissipates contact stress through localized flow, while ZIF-8 provides rigid load-bearing support. During friction, a Ga 2 O 3 oxide film forms and is reinforced by graphene to develop a continuous transfer film, achieving an ultralow friction coefficient of 0.055 and an ultralow wear rate of 4.33 × 10 −14 m 3 /N·m. This work demonstrates that interfacial chemical locking represents a novel strategy for realizing solid lubrication with liquid metals.
