Efficient synthesis of BiFeO3 by the microwave-assisted sol-gel method: “A” site influence on the photoelectrochemical activity of perovskites
摘要: BiFeO3 (BF) and LaFeO3 (LF) perovskites were synthesized using a microwave-assisted (MW) and sol-gel (SG) methods. XRD, XPS, TEM, UV-DRS techniques were applied to study physicochemical properties of perovskites. In addition, Incident Photon-to-Current Efficiency (IPCE) measurements, Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) and impedance spectroscopy were used to characterize electrochemical properties of the material. The band gap energy increases in the following way: BF-MW (2.05 eV), LF-MW (2.18 eV), BF-SG (2.26 eV) and LF-SG (2.54 eV), demonstrating a remarkable influence of the synthesis method on the optical and electronic properties of the materials. Furthermore, XRD showed a significant impact of the synthesis methods on the crystal structure. Perovskites synthesized under WM irradiation showed a pure crystal structure compared to the perovskites prepared by SG method, which contained some admixtures. IPCE shows that LF-MW has a better charge separation ability compared to BF-MW. However, BF-SG showed the highest activity. Temperature programmed reduction tests (TPR) revealed a better ability of BiFeO3 to adsorb/desorb oxygen, compared to LaFeO3. XPS measurements pointed at the presence of Fe4+. Finally, the photocatalytic activity of the perovskites was tested in solar water-splitting as a function of the synthesis method and presence of Bi and La in “A” sites of the ABO3 perovskites. We postulate, that the Jahn-Teller distortion effect in LF-MW increases its catalytic activity by decreasing the binding energy compared to BF-MW.

Monoisotopic Ensembles of Silicon-Vacancy Color Centers with Narrow-Line Luminescence in Homoepitaxial Diamond Layers Grown in H <sub/>2</sub> –CH <sub/>4</sub> – <sup> [ <i>x</i> ] </sup> SiH <sub/>4</sub> Gas Mixtures ( <i>x</i> = 28, 29, 30)
摘要: Silicon-vacancy (SiV?) color center in diamond is of high interest for applications in nanophotonics and quantum information technologies, as a single photon emitter with excellent spectral properties. To obtain spectrally identical SiV? emitters, we doped homoepitaxial diamond ?lms in situ with 28Si, 29Si, and 30Si isotopes using isotopically enriched (>99.9%) silane SiH4 gas added in H2?CH4 mixtures in the course of the microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition process. Zero-phonon line components as narrow as ~4.8 GHz were measured in both absorption and luminescence spectra for the monoisotopic SiV? ensembles with a concentration of a few parts per billion. We determined with high accuracy the Si isotopic energy shift of SiV? zero-phonon line. The SiV? emission intensity is shown to be easily controlled by the doped epi?lm thickness. Also, we identi?ed and characterized the localized single photon SiV? sources. The developed doping process opens a way to produce the SiV? emitter ensembles with energy con?ned in an extremely narrow range.

Eu <sup>3+</sup> /Tb <sup>3+</sup> functionalized Bi-based metal–organic frameworks toward tunable white-light emission and fluorescence sensing applications
摘要: The rational design strategy to construct lanthanide ion functionalized metal organic frameworks (MOFs) has attracted tremendous attention as they are promising candidates for developing novel long-lived and tunable luminescence materials and optical sensors owing to their intense, luminescence performances. In this work, a series of Eu3+/Tb3+ singly doped or codoped bismuth-based MOFs were prepared under in situ facile solvothermal conditions using BiOBr nanoplates as bismuth resources. A red-green-blue-based trichromatic white-light emission can be finely achieved by modulating the doping ratio of Eu3+/Tb3+ in the blue-emitting Bi-MOF host material and such photoluminescence tuning can also be realized by controlling the excitation wavelength. In addition, the Eu3+/Tb3+ singly incorporated Bi-MOF can serve as a multifunctional fluorescent probe for sensing Fe3+ and Cr2O7 2? ions in aqueous solution, as well as small organic pollutants of acetone molecules, and their sensing mechanisms have also been analyzed. These lanthanide ion functionalized Bi-MOF materials exhibit great potential in exploring white-light emitting devices and construction of supersensitive multifunctional sensors.

Enabling the electrocatalytic fixation of N <sub/>2</sub> to NH <sub/>3</sub> by C-doped TiO <sub/>2</sub> nanoparticles under ambient conditions
摘要: The conventional Haber–Bosch process for industrial NH3 production from N2 and H2 is highly energy-intensive with a large amount of CO2 emissions and finding a more suitable method for NH3 synthesis under mild conditions is a very attractive topic. The electrocatalytic N2 reduction reaction (NRR) offers us an environmentally benign and sustainable route. In this communication, we report that C-doped TiO2 nanoparticles act as an efficient electrocatalyst for the NRR with excellent selectivity. In 0.1 M Na2SO4, it achieves an NH3 yield of 16.22 mg h?1 mgcat.?1 and a faradaic efficiency of 1.84% at ?0.7 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode. Furthermore, this catalyst also shows good stability during electrolysis and recycling tests.
