A weakly acidic H 3 BO 3 solution (pH = 5.1) was used to synthesize new oxygen-evolution catalysts for water splitting under mild conditions. Two novel oxygen-evolution catalysts, Co–BA i and Mn–BA i (BA i = inorganic boric acid), were obtained in the H 3 BO 3 solution with added Co 2+ and Mn 2+ , respectively. The average oxygen evolution rate in the H 3 BO 3 solution with Co 2+ was 0.3133 μmol/h, about 70 times greater than the rate without a metal ion ; the rate with Mn 2+ was 1.13 μmol/h, about 250 times greater. The phases, morphologies, and compositions of the Co–BA i and Mn–BA i catalysts were analysed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy .

In this work, the tumor-targeted ultra-pH-responsive conjugates (PBA/Dex-g-OE) and nontargeted conjugates (Dex-g-OE) were successfully prepared and could easily self-assemble into stable micelles with lower CMC values in neutral aqueous solution. Transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering measurement indicated that the resulting micelles have desirable size distribution and regular spherical shape. The PBA/Dex-g-OE micelles possessed high stability in physiological condition and were pH sensitive to both extracellular and intracellular acidic conditions. Doxorubicin (DOX) was efficiently loaded to give the DOX-loaded micelles (PBA/Dex-g-OE-DOX and Dex-g-OE-DOX) with the desirable drug loading contents. In vitro cellular uptake and growth inhibition assays suggested that PBA/Dex-g-OE-DOX micelles were more efficiently internalized by monolayer tumor cells and three-dimensional multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTS) than nontargeted micelles (Dex-g-OE-DOX), leading to the fast and complete destruction of MCTS in vitro.

A new rare-earth borate Na3YB8O15 was fabricated by the flux method. The compound crystallizes in the P group, and shows a three-dimensional network built by [B8O17] fundamental building blocks (FBBs) with [NaO6], [NaO7], and [YO7] polyhedra. The [B8O17] FBBs are composed of five planar BO3 and three BO4 tetrahedra and connected via corner-sharing to construct a unique one-dimensional (1D) [B8O15]∞ infinity chain that is observed for the first time in the Na2O–Y2O3–B2O3 system compound, enriching the structural diversity of rare-earth borate. The title compound exhibits a short ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edge of ∼195 nm and a wide experimental band gap of 5.50 eV. DFT calculations indicate that Na3YB8O15 is a direct band gap compound with a calculated GGA band gap of 5.14 eV, and the band gap is mainly determined by B 2p and O 2p orbitals. The results update the phase diagram of Na2O–Y2O3–B2O3 and enrich the diversity of rare-earth metal borates.

An adipic acid/boric acid (AA–BA) binary eutectic mixture containing 80 wt % adipic acid and 20 wt % boric acid was investigated as a new phase change material (PCM) with high latent heat, high thermal stability, and low cost. The material′s thermophysical properties and thermal stability were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The thermal stability was investigated in situ over 100 cycles using DSC. The phase change temperature of the AA–BA binary eutectic mixture was 135.04 °C and the latent heats of the melting and crystallization process were 283.42 and 272.16 J g −1 , respectively. The latent heat of melting only dropped 4.94 % after in situ 100 cycles using DSC. Following comparison of thermal properties and price of the AA–BA eutectic mixture PCM with those of some composite PCMs, the results indicate that the newly prepared AA–BA eutectic mixture is a potential phase change material for thermal storage tanks.

Currently, the major challenge for cancer treatment is to develop simple and smart nanocarriers that can efficiently retain the encapsulated drug during blood circulation, recognize tumor cells and quickly release the drug under stimulation. In this paper, such a pH-sensitive core–shell composite nanoparticles is prepared based on a 3-aminophenylboronic acid modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN–APBA) core coated with a lactobionic acid grafted chitosan (CS–LA) shell via boronate ester bonds. The MSN core increases drug loading capacity and stability, and lactobionic acid offers abundant diols which can form pH sensitive boronate ester bonds with APBA on MSN. Meanwhile, the lactobionic acid-conjugated shell could also efficiently target the asialoglycoprotein receptor over expressing hepatoma cells. The successful synthesis of CS–LA and MSN–APBA is confirmed by the results of TGA, TEM, DLS, FT-IR, 1H-NMR and N2 adsorption–desorption. Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) is applied as a model drug and the behaviors of drug loading/release are investigated. The drug loading behavior is pH-dependent, and its drug encapsulation efficiency is near 80% and loading capacity is 13.05%. The results of cumulative in vitro release indicate that at neutral pH, the pores of the MSN are effectively capped with a polymer shell and the drug release is strongly inhibited, almost zero release. While at acidic pH, the hydrolysis of the boroester bond takes place and thus results in a rapid release of the entrapped drug. The cytotoxicity assay indicates high cell biocompatibility of this material and it is suitable as a drug carrier. When loaded with DOX, it presents distinctly cytotoxic behavior to HepG2 cells, due to the sustained release of drug. These results imply that the core–shell nanoparticles are promising platforms to construct simple and effective pH-responsive controlled drug delivery systems for cancer therapy.

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the perovskite solar cell (PSC) has made an illustrious breakthrough in the past ten years. However, it is still a great challenge to fabricate high-quality perovskite films due to the intrinsic high defect-density and internal non-radiative recombination, which has severely hindered the development of PSCs . Herein, a new-type additive guanidinium tetrafluoroborate (GuaBF 4 ) is introduced to improve the perovskite films quality, thus boosting photovoltaic performance of resultant PSCs . It is demonstrated that owing to the synergistic effect of Gua + and BF 4 − , the introduction of GuaBF 4 can improve the quality of CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 (MAPbI 3 ) films. Through optimizing the concentration of GuaBF 4 , the MAPbI 3 film with GuaBF 4 displays higher crystallinity , enlarged crystal grain and smoother surface. Furthermore, by virtue of the strong interaction between MAPbI 3 and GuaBF 4 , the inclusion of GuaBF 4 can effectively passivate traps/defects in perovskite films, thereby diminishing the non-radiative recombination and promoting the charge carrier transportation. Consequently, a high-performance MAPbI 3 PSC with a PCE of 20.62 %, lessened hysteresis behavior and improved moisture stability is achieved. Our research emphasizes on the significance of the synergistic effect in additives for high-performance PSCs.

A case of hydrous borate with the formula of Ba 2 B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ·5H 2 O was synthesized by the traditional hydrothermal method . It crystallizes in the chiral P 1 space group and has a unique two-dimensional 2 [B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ] ∞ layer that is constructed by the hydrogen involved [B 13 O 22 (OH) 5 ] fundamental building blocks (FBBs). The Ba atoms and H 2 O molecules are filled in the three-dimensional pore constructed by the 2 [B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ] ∞ layer. Interestingly, Ba 2 B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ·5H 2 O is the first case of hydrous borates that has the above rare [B 13 O 22 (OH) 5 ] FBB and 2 [B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ] ∞ layer, which enriching the structural chemistry of borate system. The diffuse reflection spectrum result shows that the ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edge of Ba 2 B 13 O 19 (OH) 5 ·5H 2 O is below 200 nm. Its second harmonic generation (SHG) response is approximately 1.0 times that of potassium dihydrogen phosphate at the 1064 nm fundamental wavelength and it is also phase-matchable. Both results indicate that the title compound is a nonlinear optical crystal for UV spectral region. Theoretical simulation calculation shows that the occupied VE states are mainly contributed by the O-2p orbitals, and therefore [B 13 O 22 (OH) 5 ] groups are the main sources of SHG effects.

A new rare-earth borate LiRb2LaB2O6 (LB-1) has been synthesized using a high-temperature solution method. Interestingly, it shares its topological structure with the famous porous material MOF-5, which is formed from Zn4O(BDC)3 (BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate). The nodes [OZn4] and organic linkers [BDC] of MOF-5 are carefully substituted with La3+ rare-earth cations and the inorganic linkers [BO3] and [LiO4], respectively, in order to construct a pure inorganic open framework. LB-1 exhibits good thermal and water stability. Moreover, it possesses a short cut-off edge (<190 nm) and moderate birefringence (exp. 0.040@589.5 nm, cal. 0.038@589.5 nm). Further insights into the cut-off edge were given by first-principles calculations. The factors that influence the birefringence of LB-1 were discussed in view of the spatial arrangement of the [BO3] anionic groups.

A new complex rare earth borate K7PbLu2B15O30 was prepared by the spontaneous crystallization method. K7PbLu2B15O30 is crystallized in the chiral trigonal space group R32 with cell parameters a = b = 13.0893(3) Å, c = 15.2379(6) Å, α = β = 90°, γ = 120°, and Z = 3. The basic structure of the crystal can be seen as composed of B5O10 groups and LuO6 polyhedra sharing oxygen atoms, while K+ and Pb2+ fill the space to balance the charge. The UV transmission cut-off edge of K7PbLu2B15O30 was less than 300 nm, and the powder SHG response was roughly 1.1 times that of KDP. Furthermore, a first-principles analysis was performed to see more about the relationship between the crystal structure and optical characteristics.

A long-lasting challenge in ultraviolet (UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials design is to combine conflicting and harsh properties into one structure, including wide UV transparency, strong NLO efficiency, and moderate birefringence to realize phase-matching at short wavelength. A fluorine-directed material design strategy is adopted to accelerate the process of finding NLO materials with optimal performances. In this work, taking LiB 3 O 5 (LBO) as a maternal structure, one O atom with two F atoms is substituted and LiNaB 6 O 9 F 2 which possesses novel double interpenetrating 3 [B 6 O 9 F 2 ] ∞ networks and fluorine-directed optimal performances including enhanced birefringence and phase-matching capacity is successfully obtained. The perfect balance among deep-UV cutoff edge, large second-harmonic generation (SHG) response (1.1 × KDP), and moderate birefringence (0.067 at 1064 nm) of LiNaB 6 O 9 F 2 makes it a promising UV NLO crystal.

Two new isostructural lead borates , Pb 8 Mg(BO 3 ) 6 and Pb 8 Ca(BO 3 ) 6 , have been synthesized via high temperature solution method. The single crystal structures of title compounds contain ∞ [Pb 8 B 6 O 18 ] 2- double layers composed of planar BO 3 triangles, Pb(2)O 9 and distorted Pb(1)O 5 polyhedra, these layers condense in c -axis, and the MgO 6 (or CaO 6 ) polyhedra fill into the layers, forming a three-dimensional framework. The stereochemical activity of lone pair (SCALP) electrons were found in the Pb(1)O 5 polyhedra, which combine with the BO 3 units, generating strong optical anisotropy . The calculated birefringences of Pb 8 Mg(BO 3 ) 6 and Pb 8 Ca(BO 3 ) 6 using first-principles method are 0.15@1064 nm and 0.12@1064 nm, respectively, which are comparable to the commercial α -BaB 2 O 4 (α-BBO) crystal and imply that they probably can be used as birefringent materials. The electronic structures, density of states of title compounds were calculated by density functional theory (DFT). Meanwhile, the TG-DSC curves, infrared spectral and UV–Vis–NIR diffuse reflectance spectral were measured.

Several alkylmethylimidazolium tetraphenylborates (C n mim-TPB, n = 2–10) were synthesized and explored as ion exchangers in plasticized PVC membranes with very attractive sensing behaviors. And then a series of ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) were prepared and their potentiometric properties were investigated. The proposed electrodes exhibited Nernstian responses to alkylmethylimidazolium-based ionic liquid cations [C n mim] + . These electrodes were successfully applied in the determination of thermodynamic parameters of ionic liquids in aqueous solutions and in the detection of [C n mim] + in tap water and distilled water with satisfactory results. For the as-prepared ISEs, one special and important relationship was observed between the selectivity coefficients and the length of alkyl side chains of interfering cations [C n mim] + . The proper understanding of this relationship should facilitate the development of new method for the determination of ionic liquids using ISEs.
