Highly efficient removal of toxic lead ions from aqueous solutions using a new magnetic metal‐organic framework nanocomposite

A magnetic metal‐organic framework (MOF) nanocomposite was successfully prepared by a new and green strategy through reasonable design. Magnetic MOF of Fe₃O₄‐NHSO₃H@HKUST‐1 nanocomposite use for removal of lead ions as an environmental pollutant. The experimental results indicated that the nano adsorbent of Fe₃O₄‐NHSO₃H@HKUST‐1 can removed lead ions under optimum operational conditions. The dosage of the nanocomposite, pH of the sample solution, and contact time were obtained to be 10 mg, 7.0, and 90 min, respectively, while the initial concentration of Pb(II) ions of 400 mg/L was used. A kinetic study indicated that a pseudo‐second‐order model agreed well with the experimental data. The isotherm experiments revealed that the Langmuir model attained better fits to the equilibrium data than the Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for the removal of lead under the optimum operational conditions of pH 7.0 and temperature 25°C was found to be 384.6 mg/g. The thermodynamic parameters indicate that the adsorption of lead is spontaneous and endothermic. The magnetic MOF nanocomposite could be recovered easily and reused many times without significant loss of its nano‐adsorbent activity. The proposed method is simple, eco‐friendly, low cost, and efficient in the removal of lead ions from aqueous solutions.     

First-Principles Study of Aziridinium Lead Iodide Perovskite for Photovoltaics

The long-term stability remains one of the main challenges for the commercialization of the rapidly developing hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells. Herein, we investigate the electronic and optical properties of the recently reported hybrid halide perovskite (CH₂)₂NH₂PbI₃ (AZPbI₃), which exhibits a much better stability than the popular halide perovskites CH₃NH₃PbI₃ and HC(NH₂)₂PbI₃, by using density functional theory (DFT). We find that AZPbI₃ possesses a band gap of 1.31 eV, ideal for single-junction solar cells, and its optical absorption is comparable with those of the popular CH₃NH₃PbI₃ and HC(NH₂)₂PbI₃ materials in the whole visible-light region. In addition, the conductivity of AZPbI₃ can be tuned from efficient p-type to n-type, depending on the growth conditions. Besides, the charge-carrier mobilities and lifetimes are unlikely hampered by deep transition energy levels, which have higher formation energies in AZPbI₃ according to our calculations. Overall, we suggest that the perovskite AZPbI₃ is an excellent candidate as a stable high-performance photovoltaic absorber material.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of ternary molybdate compound K<Subscript>5</Subscript>Pb<Subscript>0.5</Subscript>Hf<Subscript>1.5</Subscript>(MoO<Subscript>4</Subscript>)<Subscript>6</Subscript>

Single crystals of triple molybdate of composition 5:1:3 K₅Pb_0.5Hf_1.5(MoO₄)₆ have been grown and their crystal structure has been solved from X-ray diffraction data (an automated diffractometer X8 APEX, MoK _α -radiation, 2173 F(hkl), R = 0.0321). Trigonal unit cell parameters are: a = b = 10.739(2) Å, c = 37.933(9) Å; V = 3789(1) ų, Z = 6, ρ_calc = 4.014 g/cm³, space group \(R\bar 3\). Three-dimensional mixed framework of the structure is formed by two types of MoO₄ tetrahedra and Pb and Hf octahedra linking via common O-vertices. Potassium atoms of three types occupy large vacancies in the framework.

The ordered phase of methylammonium lead chloride CH3ND3PbCl3

The perovskite-structured compound methylammonium lead chloride orders into a low-temperature phase of space group Pnma, in which at 80 K each of the orthorhombic axes , and is doubled with respect to the room temperature disordered cubic phase (). The structure was solved by ab initio methods using the programs EXPO and FOX. This unusual cell basis for space group Pnma is not that of a standard tilt system. This phase, in which the methylammonium ions, are ordered shows distorted octahedra. The octahedra possess a bond angle variance of 60.663°² and a quadratic elongation of 1.018, and are more distorted than those in the ordered phase of methylammonium lead bromide. There is also an alternating long and short Pb-Cl bond along a, due to an off-center displacement of Pb within the octahedron. This suggests that the most rigid unit is actually the methylammonium cation, rather than the PbCl₆ octahedra, in agreement with existing spectroscopic data.     

Luminescent Thin Films Enabled by CsPbX3 (X=Cl,Br, I) Precursor Solution

Inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals are candidates for lighting and display materials due to their outstanding optoelectronic properties. However, the dissolution issue of perovskite nanocrystals in polar solvents remains a challenge for practical applications. Herein, we present a newly designed one-step spin-coating strategy to prepare a novel multicolor-tunable CsPbX₃ (X=Cl, Br, I) nanocrystal film, where the CsPbX₃ precursor solution was formed by dissolving PbO, Cs₂CO₃, and CH₃NH₃X into the ionic liquid n-butylammonium butyrate. The as-designed CsPbX₃ nanocrystal films show high color purity with a narrow emission width. Also, the blue CsPb(Cl/Br)₃ film demonstrates an absolute photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) of 15.6 %, which is higher than 11.7 % of green CsPbBr₃ and 8.3 % of red CsPb(Br/I)₃ film. This study develops an effective approach to preparing CsPbX₃ nanocrystal thin films, opening a new avenue to design perovskite nanocrystals-based devices for lighting and display applications.
