In this work, Sb^(3+)/Te^(4+)ions doped Zn-based halide single crystals(SCs) with two STEs emissions have been synthesized and the possibility of its anti-counterfeiting application was explored.Further, the relationship between the strength of electron-phonon coupling and photoluminescence quantum yields(PLQYs) for STEs in a series of metal halides has been studied. And the semi-empirical range of the Huang-Rhys factors(S) for metal halides with excellent photoluminescence(PL) property has been summarized. This work provides ideas for further research into the relationship between luminescence performance and electron-phonon coupling of metal halides, and also provides a reference for designing the metal halides with high PLQYs.展开更多

文摘Metal halides are an important class of optoelectronic materials combining exceptional optical and electronic properties.An inherent advantage of metal halides is their solution synthesis and processability,which render them as low-cost and environmentally friendly materials for a range of applications from photovoltaics and photodetection to solid-state lighting(SSL).In this study,we synthesized three previously unreported lead-free organic–inorganic hybrid copper halides:(OA)_(4)CuX_(5)(X=Br,I;OA^(+) =C_(8)H_(17)NH_(3)^(+) ,n-octylammonium cation)and(HA)_(2)CuI_(3)(HA^(+) =C_(6)H_(13)NH_(3)^(+) ,n-hexylammonium cation),all of which exhibit broadband emissions arising from self-trapped excitons(STEs).Among these compounds,(OA)_(4)CuI_(5) demonstrates tunable dual-band white-light emission with a high color rendering index value of 91 at room temperature.Temperature-dependent photoluminescence measurements and first-principles calculations reveal distinct behaviors between the two emission states in(OA)_(4)CuI_(5).These findings highlight the potential of copper halide compounds for optoelectronic applications,particularly in the development of environmentally friendly solid-state lighting technologies.
文摘Lithium halide solid-state electrolytes,with the general formula of Li_(3±m)M_(n)X_(6),are regarded as the promising families of electrolyte material for all solid-state lithium-ion batteries because of the relatively good ionic conductivity,high oxidative stability against high-voltage oxide cathodes,and broad electrochemical stability window[1].Here,M stands for one or multiple metal elements and X for one or multiple halogen elements.
文摘Polyfluoroarenes represent an essential group of compounds in the fields of medical and material chemistry.It is still a challenge to synthesize alkylated polyfluoroarenes.Herein,a Ni-catalyzed reductive alkylation of polyfluoroarenes with alkyl halides under mild conditions is reported.Polyfluoroarenes(3~6 F)can reacted smoothly with a diverse range of alkyl halides,such as primary,secondary,and tertiary alkyl iodides.The efficient formation of C(sp2)—C(sp3)can be achieved through the combination of Ni catalysis and(Bpin)2/K2CO3 as terminal reductant.

文摘All-solid-state Li batteries(ASSLBs)using solid electrolytes(SEs)have gained significant attention in recent years considering the safety issue and their high energy density.Despite these advantages,the commercialization of ASSLBs still faces challenges regarding the electrolyte/electrodes interfaces and growth of Li dendrites.Elemental doping is an effective and direct method to enhance the performance of SEs.Here,we report an Al-F co-doping strategy to improve the overall properties including ion conductivity,high voltage stability,and cathode and anode compatibility.Particularly,the Al-F co-doping enables the formation of a thin Li-Al alloy layer and fluoride interphases,thereby constructing a relatively stable interface and promoting uniform Li deposition.The similar merits of Al-F co-doping are also revealed in the Li-argyrodite series.ASSLBs assembled with these optimized electrolytes gain good electrochemical performance,demonstrating the universality of Al-F co-doping towards advanced SEs.

文摘The relentless pursuit of advanced X-ray detection technologies has been significantly bolstered by the emergence of metal halides perovskites(MHPs)and their derivatives,which possess remarkable light yield and X-ray sensitivity.This comprehensive review delves into cutting-edge approaches for optimizing MHP scintillators performances by enhancing intrinsic physical properties and employing engineering radioluminescent(RL)light strategies,underscoring their potential for developing materials with superior high-resolution X-ray detection and imaging capabilities.We initially explore into recent research focused on strategies to effectively engineer the intrinsic physical properties of MHP scintillators,including light yield and response times.Additionally,we explore innovative engineering strategies involving stacked structures,waveguide effects,chiral circularly polarized luminescence,increased transparency,and the fabrication of flexile MHP scintillators,all of which effectively manage the RL light to achieve high-resolution and high-contrast X-ray imaging.Finally,we provide a roadmap for advancing next-generation MHP scintillators,highlighting their transformative potential in high-performance X-ray detection systems.

文摘Adopting high-voltage Ni-rich cathodes in halide and sulfide-based all-solid-state lithium batteries(ASSLBs)holds great promise for breaking through the 400 Wh kg^(-1)bottleneck.However,both cell configurations are confronted with intricate interfacial challenges in high-voltage regines(>4.5 V),resulting in inadequate cathode utilization and premature cell degradation.Moreover,contrary to previous studies,coupled with LiNi_(0.85)Co_(0.1)Mn_(0.05)O_(2)cathodes,typical halide(Li_(2)ZrCl_(6))-based cells at 4.5 V feature unlimited interfacial degradation and poor long cycle stability,while typical sulfide(Li_(6)PS_(5)Cl)-based cells feature self-limited interfacial degradation and poor initial cycle stability.Herein,this work addresses the high-voltage limitations of Li_(2)ZrCl_(6)and Li_(6)PS_(5)Cl catholyte-based cells by manipulating electrode mass fraction and tailoring interfacial composition,thereby effectively improving interfacial charge-transfer kinetics and(electro)chemical stability within cathodes.After appropriate interface design,both optimized cells at 4.5 V demonstrate remarkably increased initial discharge capacities(>195 mA h g^(-1)at0.1 C),improved cycle stabilities(>80%after 600 cycles at 0.5 C),and enhanced rate performances(>115 mA h g^(-1)at 1.0 C).This work deepens our understanding of high-voltage applications for halide/sulfide electrolytes and provides generalized interfacial design strategies for advancing high-voltage ASSLBs.
文摘Existing organic halide synthesis routes typically employ elemental halogens(X_(2),X=Cl or Br),leading to low atom economy and significant environmental pollution.In this work,we developed an atom efficient electrosynthesis and separation strategy for halogenation reagents—N-chlorosuccinimide(NCS)and N-bromosuccinimide(NBS)—at high current densities.Faradic efficiency(FE)of 91.0%and 81.3%was achieved for NCS and NBS generation on RuO_(x)/TiO_(2)/Ti in a batch cell,respectively.Electrosynthesis of NCS likely involves both heterogeneous catalytic and homogeneous tandem pathways,while NBS is likely formed in a Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism with a proton-coupled electron transfer as the rate-determining step.A coupled continuous electrocatalytic synthesis and in situ separation setup was developed for the efficient production of NCS and NBS,which yielded 0.77 g of NCS in 12000 s and 0.81 g of NBS in 15000 s,both with relative purity exceeding 95%.The halogenation of acetone using NCS and NBS enabled gram-scale production of the key intermediate in organic synthesis,1-halogenacetone,with over 95%recovery of succinimide.

文摘Self-trapping excitons(STEs) emission in metal halides has been a matter of interest, correlating with the strength of electron-phonon coupling in the lattice, which are usually caused by ions with ns~2 electronic structure. In this work, Sb^(3+)/Te^(4+)ions doped Zn-based halide single crystals(SCs) with two STEs emissions have been synthesized and the possibility of its anti-counterfeiting application was explored.Further, the relationship between the strength of electron-phonon coupling and photoluminescence quantum yields(PLQYs) for STEs in a series of metal halides has been studied. And the semi-empirical range of the Huang-Rhys factors(S) for metal halides with excellent photoluminescence(PL) property has been summarized. This work provides ideas for further research into the relationship between luminescence performance and electron-phonon coupling of metal halides, and also provides a reference for designing the metal halides with high PLQYs.

文摘Mercury removal from coal combustion flue gas remains a significant challenge for environmental protection due to the lack of cost-effective sorbents.In this study,a series of red mud(RM)-based sorbents impregnated with sodium halides(NaBr and NaI)are presented to capture elemental mercury(Hg^(0))from flue gas.The modified RM underwent comprehensive characterization,including analysis of its textural qualities,crystal structure,chemical composition,and thermal properties.The results indicate that the halide impregnation substantially impacts the surface area and pore size of the RM.Hg^(0) removal performance was evaluated on a fixed-bed reactor in simulated flue gas(consisting of N_(2),O_(2),CO_(2),NO and SO_(2),etc.)on a modified RM.At an optimal adsorption temperature of 160℃,NaI-modified sorbent(RMI5)offers a removal efficiency of 98%in a mixture of gas,including O_(2),NO and HCl.Furthermore,pseudo-second-order model fitting results demonstrate the chemisorption mechanism for the adsorption of Hg^(0) in kinetic investigations.

文摘The demand for neodymium(NdFeB) permanent magnets for electric vehicles and eco-friendly generators is increasing.However,NdFeB magnets contain rare earth elements(REEs),which are limited in supply.In this study,we performed an exchange reaction between magnesium halides(fluoride and chloride) and waste NdFeB scrap and then compared the characteristics of the extracted halides salts.The compositions of the ternary Mg fluoride(LiF:NaF:MgF_(2)=50:40:10 in mole ratio) and chloride(LiCl:NaCl:MgCl_(2)=10:50:40 in mole ratio) salts were thermodynamically determined for achieving low eutectic temperatures.The reactions between the NdFeB scrap powder(1-2 mm) and Mg halide salts were carried out at 1073 and 873 K for the fluoride and chloride systems,respectively,in an argon atmosphere.After the reaction,we separated Nd halide from the residual salt and evaluated the Ndextraction rate.The phase formation of the salt was analyzed using X-ray diffraction(XRD),and the extraction rate of Nd was analyzed using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy(ICPOES).Nd was extracted in the form of Nd halide(NdF_(3) or NdCl_(3)),and the extraction rates in the fluoride and chloride systems are 98.64% and 84.59%,respectively.Thus,the fluoride system is more effective than the chloride system for Nd extraction.Our study provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of the effectiveness of fluo ride and chlo ride systems in extracting REEs from NdFeB magnet scrap.Our study findings can be used to develop an effective method for recycling magnet scraps.

文摘Two-dimensional(2D)chiral halide perovskites(CHPs)have attracted broad interest due to their distinct spin-dependent properties and promising applications in chiroptics and spintronics.Here,we report a new type of 2D CHP single crystals,namely R/S-3BrMBA_(2)PbBr_(4).The chirality of the as-prepared samples is confirmed by exploiting circular dichroism spectroscopy,indicating a successful chirality transfer from chiral organic cations to their inorganic perovskite sublattices.Furthermore,we observed bright photoluminescence spanning from 380 to 750 nm in R/S-3BrMBA_(2)PbBr_(4)crystals at room temperature.Such broad photoluminescence originates from free excitons and self-trapped excitons.In addition,efficient second-harmonic generation(SHG)performance was observed in chiral perovskite single crystals with high circular polarization ratios and non-linear optical circular dichroism.This demonstrates that R/S-3BrMBA_(2)PbBr_(4)crystals can be used to detect and generate left-and righthanded circularly polarized light.Our study provides a new platform to develop high-performance chiroptical and spintronic devices.

文摘Despite the rapid efficiency increase,tin halide perovskite solar cells are significantly behind their lead-based counterpart,with the highest reported efficiency of 15.38%.The main reason for this large difference is attributed to the instability of Sn^(2+),which easily oxidizes to Sn^(4+),creating Sn vacancies and increasing the open-circuit voltage loss.In this work,we implemented tin thiocyanate(Sn(SCN)_(2))as an additive for passivating the bulk defects of a germanium-doped tin halide perovskite film.Adding Sn^(2+)and SCN-ions reduces the Sn and iodine vacancies,limiting non-radiative recombination and favoring longer charge-carrier dynamics.Moreover,the addition of Sn(SCN)_(2) induces a higher film crystallinity and preferential orientation of the(l00)planes parallel to the substrate.The passivated devices showed improved photovoltaic parameters with the best open-circuit voltage of 0.716 V and the best efficiency of 12.22%,compared to 0.647 V and 10.2%for the reference device.In addition,the passivated solar cell retains 88.7%of its initial efficiency after 80 min of illumination under 100 mW cm^(-2) and is substantially better than the control device,which reaches 82.6%of its initial power conversion efficiency only after 30 min.This work demonstrates the passivation potential of tin-based additives,which combined with different counterions give a relatively large space of choices for passivation of Sn-based perovskites.

文摘In past decades,ABX_(3) halide perovskites have attracted great interest in solar cells due to excellent opto-electronic properties,such as high carrier mobility.However,instability and toxicity are obstacles on the commercial route for perovskites.Many studies have turned to exploring A_(2) BX_(6) and A_(3) B_(2) X_(9) for better stability.Unfortunately,the carrier mobilities of these two types are inferior to ABX_(3),lower by an order of magnitude.Furthermore,the mobility of ABX_(3) is distributed over a large range of 1.78-4500 cm^(2) V^(−1) s^(−1) in experiments,which contributes to another diversity of mobilities.In this paper,we aim at reveal-ing the physical origin of the above-mentioned diversities by theoretical studies on CsBX_(3),Cs_(2) BX_(6),and Cs_(3) B_(2) X_(9)(B=Sn,Pb,Sb,Bi,X=Br,Cl).The difference in group velocities is the major reason responsible for the variation in these types.The unique three-dimensional connected conductive network of CsBX_(3) determines its large group velocity.As for carrier scattering,ionized impurity scattering dominates at low carrier and high ionized impurity concentrations.Detailed analysis reveals that band degeneracy is strongly related to the impurity scattering rate,while dielectric constant is almost immune.Our study provides a better understanding of the relationship between electronic structures and mobilities for po-tential applications in photovoltaics.

文摘A dual-halide solid electrolyte,Li_(3)YCl_(3)Br_(3),was synthesized using a wet-chemistry route instead of the conventional mechanical ball-milling route.Li_(3)YCl_(3)Br_(3) exhibits an ion conductivity of 2.08 mS/cm and an electro-chemical stability window of 3.8 V.Additionally,an all-solid-state lithium-ion battery using Li_(3)YCl_(3)Br_(3) and LiNi_(0.83)Co_(0.11)Mn_(0.06)O_(2)(NCM811)as the cathode material achieves a capacity retention of 93%after 200 cycles at 0.3C and maintains a specific capacity of 115 mA·h/g during 2C cycling.This exceptional performance is attributed to the high oxidative stability of Li_(3)YCl_(3)Br_(3) and the in-situ formation of Y_(2)O_(3) inert protective layer on the NCM811 surface under high voltage.Consequently,the study demonstrates the feasibility of a simple,cost-effective wet-chemistry route for synthesizing multi-component halides,highlighting its potential for large-scale production of halide solid electrolytes for practical applications.
