A Strategy for the Preparation of Thioantimonates Based on the Concept of Weak Acids and Corresponding Strong Bases

By following a new synthetic approach, which is based on the in situ formation of a basic medium by the reaction between the strong base Sb(V)S₄^3? and the weak acid H₂O, it was possible to prepare three layered thioantimonate(III) compounds of composition [TM(2,2′‐bipyridine)₃][Sb₆S₁₀] (TM=Ni, Fe) and [Ni(4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine)₃][Sb₆S₁₀] under hydrothermal conditions featuring two different thioantimonate(III) network topologies. The antimony source, Na₃SbS₄ ? 9 H₂O, undergoes several decomposition reactions and produces the Sb^IIIS₃ species, which condenses to generate the layered anion. The application of transition‐metal complexes avoids crystallization of dense phases. The reactions are very fast compared to conventional hydrothermal/solvothermal syntheses and are much less sensitive to changes of the reaction parameters.     

AgI Microplate Monocrystals with Polar {0001} Facets: Spontaneous Photocarrier Separation and Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity

Elucidating the facet‐dependent photocatalytic activity of semiconductor photocatalysts is important in improving the overall efficiency of photocatalysis. Furthermore, combining facet control with selective deposition of oxidation and/or reduction cocatalysts on specific faces of semiconductor photocatalysts is potentially an effective strategy to synergistically optimize the functionality of photocatalysts. In the present study, high‐purity wurtzite‐type β‐AgI platelet microcrystals with polar {0001} facets were prepared by a facile polyvinylpyrrolidone‐assisted precipitation reaction. The polar‐faceted AgI microplates were used as archetypes to demonstrate preferential diametric migration (i.e., effective separation) of photogenerated electrons and holes along the c axis. Such vectorial electron–hole separation stems from the asymmetric surface structures, which give rise to distinct photoexcited reaction behaviors on the ±(0001) polar facets of wurtzite‐type semiconductors. Furthermore, on selective deposition of Ag and MnO_x (1.5<x<2) cocatalysts on the reductive (0001) and oxidative (000$\bar 1$ ) facets, respectively, photocatalytic activity of the AgI microplates in degrading organic pollutants was dramatically enhanced thanks to the broad light‐absorption range, strong dye‐adsorption ability, and effective spatial separation of photocarriers.     

Solvothermal Transformation of a Calcium Oleate Precursor into Large‐Sized Highly Ordered Arrays of Ultralong Hydroxyapatite Microtubes

Hydroxyapatite (HAP), a well‐known member of the calcium phosphate family, is the major inorganic component of bones and teeth in vertebrates. The highly ordered arrays of HAP structures are of great significance for hard tissue repair and for understanding the formation mechanisms of bones and teeth. However, the synthesis of highly ordered HAP structure arrays remains a great challenge. In this work, inspired by the ordered structure of tooth enamel, we have successfully synthesized three‐dimensional bulk materials with large sizes (millimeter scale) that are made of highly ordered arrays of ultralong HAP microtubes (HOAUHMs) by solvothermal transformation of calcium oleate precursor. The core–shell‐structured oblate sphere consists of a core that is composed of HAP nanorods and a shell that consists of highly ordered HAP microtube arrays. The prepared HOAUHMs are large: 6.0 mm in diameter and up to 1.4 mm in thickness. With increasing solvothermal reaction time, the HOAUHMs grow larger; the microtubes become more uniform and more ordered. This work provides a new synthetic method for synthesizing highly ordered arrays of uniform HAP ultralong microtubes that are promising for biomedical applications.
