Single‐Crystalline Dodecahedral and Octodecahedralα‐Fe2O3 Particles Synthesized by a Fluoride Anion–Assisted Hydrothermal Method

Despite significant advances in iron oxide nanoparticles, it is still a challenge to synthesize regular polyhedral single‐crystalline α‐Fe₂O₃ particles because the surface energies of several low‐index planes are fairly similar. In the work presented here, well‐dispersed and single‐crystalline dodecahedral and octodecahedral α‐Fe₂O₃ particles are synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method with the aid of F^? anions. The crystalline structure of the polyhedral particles is disclosed by various characterization techniques. The dodecahedral particles are of hexagonal bipyramidal shape and enclosed by twelve equivalent (101) planes. The octodecahedral particles are formed by adding six equivalent (111) planes on the two tips of a dodecahedral particle, that is, they are enclosed by twelve (101) planes and six (111) planes. The existence of F^? anions plays a crucial role in the control of polyhedral particle shape. The function of F^? anions in the shape formation of the polyhedral particles is proposed as follows: 1) A high concentration of exposed Fe³⁺ cations induces preferential adsorption of F^? anions on the (100) plane and leads to the slowest growth along the [100] direction. When the concentration of F^? anions is higher than 24 mM , a stable speed ratio of growth along the [001] and [100] directions results in the exposure of (101) planes. 2) With a lower concentration of F^? anions, six symmetrical (111) planes with low concentration of exposed Fe³⁺ cations are present at the tops of a dodecahedral particle to form an octodecahedron. Furthermore, the dodecahedral and octodecahedral α‐Fe₂O₃ particles show much stronger magnetism than the previously reported α‐Fe₂O₃ nanostructures, having coercivities of 4986 Oe and 6512 Oe, respectively. Such high coercivities are attributed to a large local magnetic anisotropy, which might be induced by the polyhedron with equivalent crystallographic planes and/or the presence of F^? anions.

Regulating Fe Aggregation State via Unique Fe?N?V Pre-Coordination to Optimize the Adsorption-Catalysis Effect in High-Performance Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) suffer from uncontrollable shuttling behavior of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs: Li₂S_x, 4 ≤ x ≤8) and the sluggish reaction kinetics of bidirectional liquid-solid transformations, which are commonly coped through a comprehensive adsorption-catalysis strategy. Herein, a unique Fe N V pre-coordination is introduced to regulate the content of “dissociative Fe³⁺” in liquid phase, realizing the successful construction of N-doped micro-mesoporous “urchin-like” hollow carbon nanospheres decorated with single atom Fe-N₄ sites and VN nanoparticles (denoted as SA-Fe/VN@NMC). The strong chemisorption ability toward LiPSs and catalyzed Li₂S decomposition behavior on VN, along with the boosted reaction kinetics for sulfur reduction on SA-Fe sites are experimentally and theoretically evidenced. Moreover, the nanoscale-neighborhood distribution of VN and SA-Fe active sites presents synergistic effect for the anchoring-reduction-decomposition process of sulfur species. Thus SA-Fe/VN@NMC presents an optimized adsorption-catalysis effect for the whole sulfur conversion. Therefore, the SA-Fe/VN@NMC based Li-S cells exhibit high cyclic stability (a low decay of 0.024% per cycle over 700 cycles at 1 C, sulfur content: 70 wt%) and considerable rate performance (683.2 mAh g⁻¹ at 4 C). Besides, a high areal capacity of 5.06 mAh cm⁻² is retained after 100 cycles under the high sulfur loading of 5.6 mg cm⁻². This work provides a new perspective to design the integrated electrocatalysts comprising hetero-formed bimetals in LSBs.     

Growth-temperature-dependent optical and acetone detection properties of ZnO thin films

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were prepared onto glass substrates at moderately low growth temperature by two-stage spray pyrolysis technique. The effects of growth temperature on structural, optical and acetone detection properties were investigated with X-ray diffractometry, a UV-visible spectrophotometer, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and a homemade gas sensor testing unit, respectively. All the films are polycrystalline with a hexagonal wurtzite phase and exhibit a preferential orientation along [002] direction. The film crystallinity is gradually enhanced with an increase in growth temperature. The optical measurements show that all the films are physically highly transparent with a transmittance greater than 82% in the visible range. The band gap of the film is observed to exhibit a slight red shift with an increasing growth temperature. The PL studies on the films show UV/violet PL band at ～ 395 nm. Among all the films investigated, the film deposited at 250 ℃ demonstrates a maximum sensitivity of 13% towards 20 ppm of acetone vapors at 300 ℃ operating temperature.

Vitamins as Active Agents for Highly Emissive and Stable Nanostructured Halide Perovskite Inks and 3D Composites Fabricated by Additive Manufacturing

The use of non-toxic and low-cost vitamins like α-tocopherol (α-TCP, vitamin E) to improve the photophysical properties and stability of perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs), through post-synthetic ligand surface passivation, is demonstrated for the first time. Especially interesting is its effect on CsPbI₃ the most unstable inorganic PNC. Adding α-TCP produces that the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of freshly prepared and aged PNCs achieves values of ≈98% and 100%, respectively. After storing 2 months under ambient air and 60% relative humidity, PLQY is maintained at 85% and 67%, respectively. α-TCP restores the PL features of aged CsPbI₃ PNCs, and mediates the radiative recombination channels by reducing surface defects. In addition, the combination of α-TCP and PNCs facilitates the chemical formulation to prepare PNCs-acrylic polymer composites processable by additive manufacturing. This enables the development of complex shaped parts with improved luminescent features and long-term stability for 4 months, which is not possible for non-modified PNCs. A PLQY ≈92% is reached in the 3D printed polymer/PNC composite, the highest value obtained for a red-emitting composite solid until now as far as it is known. The passivation shell provided by α-TCP makes that PNCs inks do not suffer any degradation process avoiding the contact with the environment and preserve their properties after reacting with polar monomers during composite polymerization.
