以NH₄F为掺杂前体,采用简单的一步醇-水热法制备了F掺杂BiVO₄光催化剂。利用X射线衍射（XRD）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）、紫外-可见漫反射光谱（UV-Vis）和光致发光光谱（PL）表征了这些光催化剂的物理化学性质。在少量H₂O₂存在条件下,以可见光照射下光催化降解苯酚的反应测定了这些光催化剂的催化活性。研究表明,相较于未掺杂的BiVO₄样品而言,F掺杂BiVO₄样品不仅仍保留了单斜结构,而且有更高的结晶度、表面氧空位密度和光生电荷载流子分离效率,更强的光吸收和更低的带隙能。在这些F掺杂BiVO₄样品中,以n_F/n_Bi的理论值为1.0且带隙能为2.43 eV的F掺杂BiVO₄样品的光催化活性最好（90 min内苯酚的降解率可达95%）。这一优良的光催化性能与其具有最高的结晶度、表面氧空位密度和光生电荷载流子分离效率,最强的光吸收和最低的带隙能有关。

Y1-xCaxBaCo2O5+δ的制备和性能表征

利用固相反应法合成了层状钙钛矿钴氧化物Y_1-xCa_xBaCo₂O_5+δ(x=0,0.1,0.15,0.2)材料,系统研究了材料的氧吸附性能和电输运性质。XRD结果表明Ca²⁺掺杂的样品具有母相YBaCo₂O_5+δ层状钙钛矿结构,随着Ca²⁺掺杂量的增加,样品的晶格参数增大。TG结果显示：从室温到1 273 K,所有样品经历了两次吸氧和脱氧的过程,Ca²⁺掺杂增强了样品的氧脱附性能。在中低温下,约650 K附近,吸氧量达到最大,同时,样品发生了半导体金属转变。Ca²⁺掺杂量的增加,半导体金属转变温度增大,电导率下降。半导体金属转变与氧变化量δ有关而电导率下降与Ca²⁺掺杂引起Co³⁺离子的增加有关。     

g-C3N4碳位掺杂电学及光学性质的分析

使用第一性原理研究了C位掺杂的g-C₃N₄的电学性质和光学性质,掺杂原子为B、P、S. g-C₃N₄有C1位和C2 位两种对称位碳原子,其中在C1 位上的掺杂易于C2 位,掺杂体系也较C2 位稳定. 相比于磷和硫在g-C₃N₄上的掺杂,硼掺杂最易于进行. 掺杂后体系的晶体结构之间差别较大,这与掺杂原子的大小以及电负性有关. 由轨道布居分布可知,掺杂后的硼、磷、硫原子价电子发生了变化,表明掺杂原子发生了杂化,与相邻原子以强的共价键相连. 掺杂原子与被取代的碳原子之间的价电子差异导致了能带的增加. 在原来的体系中,掺杂后的体系出现了一条新的能带,因此导致实际带隙下降,表明了掺杂后的体系导电性能增强. 对纯g-C₃N₄及掺杂g-C₃N₄的光学性质分析表明,g-C₃N₄的光学吸收主要在紫外光区,掺杂磷和硫后对g-C₃N₄的光吸收波长范围无改变,掺杂硼后的g-C₃N₄光吸收不再局限于紫外光区,而且延伸至可见光区和红外光区,并在红外光区有很强的吸收,表明g-C₃N₄掺杂硼后能大大地提高光催化效率. 电子能量损失光谱和光导率谱以及介电常数都佐证了上述观点.     

Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of the Structural and Opto-electronic Properties of Fe-Doped Lead-Free Cs2AgBiCl6 Double Perovskite

Lead-free double perovskites have emerged as stable and non-toxic alternatives to Pb-halide perovskites. Herein, the synthesis of Fe-doped Cs₂AgBiCl₆ lead-free double perovskites are reported that display blue emission using an antisolvent method. The crystal structure, morphology, optical properties, band structure, and stability of the Fe-doped double perovskites were investigated systematically. Formation of the Fe-doped Cs₂AgBiCl₆ double perovskite is confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. XRD and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that the Cs₂AgBiCl₆ double perovskite has high structural and thermal stability, respectively. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) analysis revealed the formation of dipyramidal shape Cs₂AgBiCl₆ crystals. Furthermore, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) mapping shows the overlapping of Cs, Bi, Ag, Fe, and Cl elements and homogenous incorporation of Fe in Cs₂AgBiCl₆ double perovskite. The Fe-doped Cs₂AgBiCl₆ double perovskite shows a strong absorption at 380 nm. It extends up to 700 nm, suggesting that sub-band gap states transition may originate from the surface defect of the doped perovskite material. The radiative kinetics of the crystals was studied using the time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) technique. Lattice parameters and band gap value of the Fe-doped Cs₂AgBiCl₆ double perovskites predicted by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations are confirmed by XRD and UV/Visible spectroscopy analysis. Time-dependent photo-response characteristics of the Fe-doped Cs₂AgBiCl₆ double perovskite show fast response and recovery time of charge carriers. We believe that the successful incorporation of Fe in lead-free, environmentally friendly Cs₂AgBiCl₆ double perovskite can open a new class of doped double perovskites with significant potential optoelectronics devices fabrication and photocatalytic applications.     

Single Crystals of Mixed-Cation Copper-Based Perovskite with Trimodal Bandgap Behavior

Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid perovskites with novel functionalities and structural diversity are a perfect platform for emerging optoelectronic devices such as photodetectors, light-emitting diodes, and solar cells. Here, we demonstrate that excess concentration of Cesium bromide (CsBr) is key to the formation of easily exfoliated 2D Cs₂Cu(Cl/Br)₄ perovskite crystal. Furthermore, by employing this trick to 2D perovskite MA₂Cu(Cl/Br)₄ (MA=methylammonium), we achieve a phase-pure easily exfoliated 2D mixed-cation (MA/Cs)₂Cu(Cl/Br)₄ perovskite crystal, which exhibits reduced bandgap (1.53 eV) with ferromagnetic behavior and photovoltaic property. The resultant mixed-cation structured device reveals enhanced efficiency compared to all MA and all Cs counterparts. These findings demonstrate the importance of cation-engineering in developing innovative materials with novel properties.

Incorporating Rare‐Earth Terbium(III) Ions into Cs2AgInCl6:Bi Nanocrystals toward Tunable Photoluminescence

The incorporation of impurity ions or doping is a promising method for controlling the electronic and optical properties and the structural stability of halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs). Herein, we establish relationships between rare‐earth ions doping and intrinsic emission of lead‐free double perovskite Cs₂AgInCl₆ NCs to impart and tune the optical performances in the visible light region. Tb³⁺ ions were incorporated into Cs₂AgInCl₆ NCs and occupied In³⁺ sites as verified by both crystallographic analyses and first‐principles calculations. Trace amounts of Bi doping endowed the characteristic emission (⁵D₄→⁷F_6‐3) of Tb³⁺ ions with a new excitation peak at 368 nm rather than the single characteristic excitation at 290 nm of Tb³⁺. By controlling Tb³⁺ ions concentration, the emission colors of Bi‐doped Cs₂Ag(In_1?xTb_x)Cl₆ NCs could be continuously tuned from green to orange, through the efficient energy‐transfer channel from self‐trapped excitons to Tb³⁺ ions. Our study provides the salient features of the material design of lead‐free perovskite NCs and to expand their luminescence applications.     

Preparation and Dielectric Properties of Mn-Doped Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3-MgTiO3 Composite Ceramics

Barium strontium titanate (Ba_0.6Sr_0.4TiO₃, BST) nano-powders were prepared using Ba(NO₃)₂, Sr(NO₃)₂, oxalic acid dehydrate, and tetrabutyl titanate (Ti(OC4H9)4) as precursors by the chemical co-precipitation method. The product was characterized by thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) thermal analyses, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental results indicated that the resulting Ba_0.6Sr_0.4TiO₃ nano-powders were homogeneous with agglomerated nature. The Ba_0.6Sr_0.4TiO₃-MgTiO₃ (BST-MT) bulk composite ceramics doped by Mn were obtained by the traditional solid phase method. The XRD patterns demonstrated that Mn-doped BST was unable to change the perovskite crystalline structure of BST materials. SEM photographs revealed that the crystalline grains became larger with increasing the content of doping Mn (<1.5% (x, molar fraction)) and then the size of grains decreased after the Mn content exceeded 1.5% in the BST ceramics, suggesting the effect of Mn doping on the morphologies of BST-MT composites. The dielectric properties of BST-MT composite ceramics doped with 0.1%-2.0% (x) Mn were investigated systematically. Two effects of Mn doping on the dielectric properties of the BST-MT composite ceramics were observed. At low Mn doping concentrations (<1.5%), Mn mainly acted as an acceptor dopant to replace Ti at the B site of ABO3 perovskite structure, leading to a diffused phase transition. It was also observed that the grain size increased drastically as the Mn content increased and thus caused the decrease of dielectric loss. At higher Mn doping concentrations (>1.5%), the grain size decreased and the suppression of permittivity and the drastic increase of the dielectric losses were observed, which indicated a “composite” mixing effect.     

Lead‐Free Sodium–Indium Double Perovskite Nanocrystals through Doping Silver Cations for Bright Yellow Emission

Lead‐free halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have drawn wide attention for solving the problem of lead perovskites toxicity and instability. Herein, we synthesize the direct band gap double perovskites undoped and Ag‐doped Cs₂NaInCl₆ NCs by variable temperature hot injection. The Cs₂NaInCl₆ NCs have little photoluminescence because of dark self‐trapped excitons (STEs). The dark STEs can be converted into bright STEs by doping with Ag⁺ to produce a bright yellow emission, with the highest photoluminescence quantum efficiency of 31.1 %. The dark STEs has been directly detected experimentally by ultrafast transient absorption (TA) techniques. The dynamics mechanism is further studied. In addition, the Ag‐doped NCs show better stability than the undoped ones. This result provides a new way to enhance the optical properties of lead‐free perovskites NCs for high‐performance light emitters.     

Effect of transition element doping on crystal structure of rare earth borosilicides REB44Si2

On a previous study on samples of doped-YB₄₄Si₂, an improvement of thermoelectric properties has been achieved. Regarding the interesting effect of the doping of transition elements on the thermoelectric properties, a single crystal study has been carried out on Zn doped, Rh doped and Ni doped samples to assess how the transition element doping affects the crystal structure. Refinements were carried out based on the structural model solution of YB₄₄Si₂ reported in a previous study. Variations in the silicon contents were found in the doped single crystals. Splitting of partially occupied sites has also been detected for some of the doped samples. In this paper we present differences in the partial occupations of boron and silicon sites. Possibility of transition elements insertions based on the differences in crystal structures will be presented.
