Abstract
Regulating competitive reaction pathways to direct the selectivity of electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction toward a desired product is crucial but remains challenging. Herein, switching product from HCOOH to CO is achieved by incorporating Sb element into the CuS, in which the Cu-S ionic bond is coupled with S-Sb covalent bond through bridging S atoms that elongates the Cu-S bond from 2.24 Å to 2.30 Å. Consequently, CuS with a shorter Cu-S bond exhibited a high selectivity for producing HCOOH, with a maximum Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 72 %. Conversely, Cu3SbS4 characterized by an elongated Cu-S bond exhibited the most pronounced production of CO with a maximum FE of 60 %. In situ spectroscopy combined with density functional theory calculations revealed that the altered Cu-S bond length and local coordination environment make the *HCOO binding energy weaker on Cu3SbS4 compared to that on CuS. Notably, a volcano-shaped correlation between the Cu-S bond length and adsorption strength of *COOH indicates that Cu-S in Cu3SbS4 as double-active sites facilitates the adsorption of *COOH, and thus results in the high selectivity of Cu3SbS4 toward CO.

Abstract
Rare-earth phosphates were thought to be good candidates as ultraviolet/deep ultraviolet optical materials due to their relatively large bandgap and optical properties. In this paper, the authors screened out a family of XPO4 (X = Sc, Y, La, and Lu) compounds with an enhanced bandgap (HSE06 bandgap ≥ 7.61 eV) and birefringence (0.0934-0.2003@1064 nm) using first-principles calculations. The origin of enhanced optical properties was investigated using projected density of states, distortion indices, and Born effective charges. The results show that the PO4 anionic groups and X-O polyhedra give the main contribution in determining the optical properties, and the PO4 anionic groups give more contribution than other functional basic units. The spin-orbit interaction was also investigated. Similar band structures were found after spin-orbit coupling (SOC) was considered, and slightly enhanced birefringence was found when SOC was applied to these rare-earth phosphates.

Abstract
Birefringent materials with high optical anisotropy have been identified as a research hotspot owing to their significant scientific and technological significance in modern optoelectronics for manipulating light polarization. Researchers studying borate systems have discovered that adding π-conjugated units placed in parallel can significantly increase the birefringence of crystalline solids; some examples include [BO3] units, [B2O5] units, and [B3O6] units. However, there are not many borates with strictly parallel configurations of π-conjugated [B2O5] units. In this study, a new bimetallic borate Sr2Cd4(B2O5)3 with near-parallel arrangement of π-conjugated [B2O5] units was discovered. Sr2Cd4(B2O5)3 possesses the maximum number density of [B2O5] units, shortest dihedral angle of [B2O5] units (between the two [BO3]), and largest degree of [CdO6] octahedral distortion among all the currently known Sr-Cd-B-O tetragonal system borates, making it demonstrate a large birefringence of 0.102 at 532 nm. Theoretical analysis proves that π-conjugated [B2O5] anions are the primary source of the large birefringence of Sr2Cd4(B2O5)3.

Abstract
With the continuous development of laser technology and the increasing demand for lasers of different frequencies in the infrared (IR) spectrum, research on infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals has garnered growing attention. Currently, the three main commercially available types of borate materials each have their drawbacks, which limit their applications in various areas. Rare-earth (RE)-based chalcogenide compounds, characterized by the unique f-electron configuration, strong positive charges, and high coordination numbers of RE cations, often exhibit distinctive optical responses. In the field of IR-NLO crystals, they have a research history spanning several decades, with increasing interest. However, there is currently no comprehensive review summarizing and analyzing these promising compounds. In this review, we categorize 85 representative examples out of more than 400 non-centrosymmetric (NCS) compounds into four classes based on the connection of different asymmetric building motifs: (1) RE-based chalcogenides containing tetrahedral motifs; (2) RE-based chalcogenides containing lone-pair-electron motifs; (3) RE-based chalcogenides containing [BS3] and [P2Q6] motifs; and (4) RE-based chalcohalides and oxychalcogenides. We provide detailed discussions on their synthesis methods, structures, optical properties, and structure-performance relationships. Finally, we present several favorable suggestions to further explore RE-based chalcogenide compounds. These suggestions aim to approach these compounds from a new perspective in the field of structural chemistry and potentially uncover hidden treasures within the extensive accumulation of previous research.

Abstract
Stereochemically active lone pair (SCALP) cations are attractive units for realizing optical anisotropy. Antimony(III) chloride perovskites with the SCALP have remained largely unknown to date. We synthesized a new vacancy ordered Cs3Sb2Cl9 perovskite single crystals with SbCl6 octahedral linkage containing the SCALP. Remarkably, all-inorganic halide perovskite Cs3Sb2Cl9 single crystals exhibit an exceptional birefringence of 0.12 ± 0.01 at 550 nm. The SCALP brings a large local structural distortion of the SbCl6 octahedra promoting birefringence optical responses in Cs3Sb2Cl9 single crystals. Theoretical calculations reveal that the considerable hybridization of Sb 5s and 5p with Cl 3p states largely contribute to the SCALP. Furthermore, the change in the Sb-Cl-Sb bond angle creates distortion in the SbCl6 octahedral arrangement in the apical and equatorial directions within the crystal structure incorporating the required anisotropy for the birefringence. This work explores pristine inorganic halide perovskite single crystals as a potential birefringent material with prospects in integrated optical devices.

Abstract
The first examples of thioborate-thiosilicates, namely Ca2 Ln(BS3 )(SiS4 ) (Ln = La, Ce, and Gd), are synthesized by rationally designed high-temperature solid-state reactions. They crystalize in the polar space group P63 mc and feature a novel three-dimensional crystal structure in which the discrete [BS3 ]3- and [SiS4 ]4- anionic groups are linked by Ca2+ and Ln3+ cations occupying the same atomic site. Remarkably, all three compounds show comprehensive properties required as promising infrared nonlinear optical materials, including phase-matchable strong second harmonic generation (SHG) responses at 2.05 µm (1.1-1.2 times that of AgGaS2 ), high laser-induced damage thresholds (7-10 times that of AgGaS2 ), wide light transmission range (0.45-11 µm), high thermal stabilities (>800 °C), and large calculated birefringence (0.126-0.149 @1064 nm), which justify the material design strategy of combining [BS3 ]3- and [SiS4 ]4- active units. Theoretical calculations suggest that their large SHG effects originate mainly from the synergy effects of the LnS6 , BS3 , and SiS4 groups. This work not only broadens the scope of research on metal chalcogenides but also provides a new synthetic route for mixed anionic thioborates.

Abstract
Birefringent crystals are the key components of functional optics, contributing significantly to scientific and technological advancements. To enhance birefringence, the presence of stereochemically active lone pairs offers a unique opportunity. In fact, strengthening the stereochemical activity and aligning uniformly lone pairs face tough challenges. Herein, an anisotropic layered crystal, Sb4O5I2, is discovered to exhibit enhanced birefringence. The influence of crystal symmetry on the birefringence of Sb4O5X2 (X = Cl, Br, or I) is found to be minor. Instead, the asymmetric nature of ABUCBs (i.e., cis-X3[SbO3]6- and cis-X3[SbO4]8-) plays a crucial role in enhancing the optical anisotropy. And the orientation of these ABUCBs is equally important. We demonstrate that by adjusting the Sb/I ratio from 5:1 to 2:1, all of the intralayer Sb atoms in Sb5O7I-P63 are forced onto the surface position. This structural adjustment leads to strengthened ionic bonding interactions, enhanced activity of the lone pairs, and uniform alignments of the ABUCBs in Sb4O5I2. Consequently, this results in a 6-fold increase in birefringence.

Abstract
The first compound of cadmium-borate silicate Cd8(BO3)4SiO4, crystallizing in space group P42/n (no. 86), has been successfully synthesized by the conventional high-temperature solution method and melts congruently. The zero-dimensional anionic groups of Cd8(BO3)4SiO4 are isolated [BO3] triangles and isolated [SiO4] tetrahedra which are filled in the framework formed by [CdO6] polyhedra. It has a moderate birefringence (Δn = 0.053 at 546 nm), which is measured by experiment and evaluated by first-principles calculations; meanwhile, the source of birefringence is revealed through the response electronic distribution anisotropy method. The UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectrum indicates that Cd8(BO3)4SiO4 possesses a wide optical transparency range, with a UV cutoff edge at about 254 nm. This work enriches the structure chemistry of borate silicates, and we discussed the possible methods for the exploration and synthesis of novel optical crystals possessing zero-dimensional anionic groups in the borate silicate system.

Abstract
Two new borate halides, Sn3B3O7X (X = Cl and Br), were successfully synthesized via introducing Sn2+ with lone-pair and halogen into borate. Interestingly, halogen-induced variable coordination modes of Sn2+ and anion frameworks make them crystallize in different space groups, from noncentrosymmetric (Pna21) to centrosymmetric (Pbca). Sn3B3O7Cl possesses an SHG response of about 0.5 times that of KDP, while Sn3B3O7Br exhibits a large birefringence (0.123@1064 nm). The theoretical calculations were performed to elucidate the structure-property relationships.

Abstract
The design of new materials with special performances is still a great challenge, especially for the deep-ultraviolet nonlinear optical materials in which it is difficult to balance large bandgaps and strong second harmonic generation responses due to their inverse relationship. Cation variation not only influences the whole structure frameworks but also directly participates in the formation of electronic structures, both of which could lead to the uncontrollability of the properties of the designed materials. Here, a novel approach, aiming at purposeful and foreseeable material designs, is proposed to characterize the role of cations. By the verification of several series of borates, the influences of cation variation on property changes are explored systematically. Accordingly, a feasible strategy of designing deep-ultraviolet nonlinear optical materials by substituting barium for lead has been concluded, which could obviously blue-shift the ultraviolet cutoff edge and maintain the relatively strong second harmonic generation response (more than 2 times of KH2PO4), achieving the property optimization, and especially works efficiently in fluorooxoborates. The property optimization design strategy and the cation characterization method are not only helpful in exploring nonlinear optical materials but also enlightening in material design and selection.

Abstract
Mid-infrared (mid-IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals are key materials in the field of laser technology. Nevertheless, the applications of these significant optical materials are always limited by their low laser damage threshold (LDT). Here, an oxide mid-IR NLO crystal, Bi3TeBO9, with a large LDT was discovered. The centimeter-sized Bi3TeBO9 single crystal was successfully grown by the top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) method. The Bi3TeBO9 features a high LDT of 450 MW/cm2 (∼15 × AgGaS2) and the widest transparent range (0.35-7.10 μm) among known borate crystals. The second-harmonic generation (SHG) effect is about 1.6 times that of KDP. First-principles calculations and structural analysis show that the optical characteristics of Bi3TeBO9 are mainly affected by distorted [BiO6] groups. Furthermore, its thermal characteristics including specific heat, thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion were also measured.

Abstract
The combination of 2D materials and optical biosensors has become a hot research topic in recent years. Graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, MXenes, and other 2D materials (metal oxides and degenerate semiconductors) have unique optical properties and play a unique role in the detection of different biomolecules. Through the modification of 2D materials, optical biosensor has the advantages that traditional sensors (such as electrical sensing) do not have, and the sensitivity and detection limit are greatly improved. Here, optical biosensors based on different 2D materials are reviewed. First, various detection methods of biomolecules, including surface plasmon resonance (SPR), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and evanescent wave and properties, preparation and integration strategies of 2D material, are introduced in detail. Second, various biosensors based on 2D materials are summarized. Furthermore, the applications of these optical biosensors in biological imaging, food safety, pollution prevention/control, and biological medicine are discussed. Finally, the future development of optical biosensors is prospected. It is believed that with their in-depth research in the laboratory, optical biosensors will gradually become commercialized and improve people's quality of life in many aspects.

Abstract
Metal oxyhalides have attracted broad interest recently because of their diverse structures and versatile properties. Here, two oxyhalides, CuSb2O3Cl (1) and CuSb2O3Br (2), were studied by focusing on their nonlinear-optical properties. They are crystallized in the noncentrosymmetric monoclinic Cc structure, and the layered structures could be derived from a 1:1 combination of CuX- (X = Cl, Br) and Sb2O3-type slabs. Their energy gaps were determined to be 2.76 and 2.64 eV. The second-harmonic-generation (SHG) test suggests that they are nonlinear-optical-active, and the effects are ascribed to the contribution of CuX3O units. Meanwhile, the SbO3 units' arrangement has a small contribution to the SHG effects. This work is the pioneer SHG investigation of the MI-MIII-O-X (MI = Cu, Ag; MIII = trivalent As, Sb, Bi; X = halogen) family.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is a powerful and versatile tool widely applied in the areas of synthesis chemistry. However, most of the photocatalysts currently used are homogeneous catalysts, which inevitably face issues such as product-catalyst separation and recyclability. Addressing this challenge, we utilized a homogeneous Ru photocatalyst as a structure-directing template to fabricate a series of isostructural photocatalyst-encapsulating metal-organic frameworks (photocatalyst@MOFs) with high porosity, robustness, and photocatalyst loading. The regular channels of MOF can disperse the encapsulated photocatalysts, promote the mass transfer of substrates and products, and provide an outstanding substrate confinement effect, thereby dramatically improving the catalytic activity and excellent recyclability toward valuable organic reactions. For instance, the MOF photocatalysts can catalyze the asymmetric Mannich reaction with ketones with high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee), better than the reported photocatalyst. Significantly, this was the first case that heterogeneous MOF-based photocatalyst can catalyze the asymmetric Mannich reaction without cocatalysts under room temperature and visible light. This work not only explores an avenue to prepare heterogeneous photocatalysts but also broadens the application scope of MOF-based photocatalysts.

Abstract
Two chalcogenophosphates, SnPS2.86Se0.14 (1) and SnPSe3 (2), are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic noncentrosymmetric space group Pn. Their three-dimensional (3D) structures are constructed by [Sn(1)Q8] hendecahedra and [Sn(2)Q8] dodecahedra by sharing Q vertices and edges, leaving cavities for isolated [P2Q6] (Q = S/Se, Se) dimers. A second-harmonic-generation (SHG) measurement indicates that 1 is phase-matchable with a response of approximately 1.2 × AgGaS2 (AGS), which is verified by the theoretical calculation result. The powder sample of 1 exhibits a high laser-induced damage threshold of 3.9 × AGS. For comparison, the known SnPS3 (3) was also synthesized and evaluated using the same method. The chemical composition-NLO performance relationship of 1-3 is also discussed. Dipole moment calculation results suggest that [SnQ8] polyhedra make the main contribution to their excellent nonlinear optical (NLO) performance.

Abstract
Birefringent materials are widely applied as photoelectric functional field devices to modulate the polarization of lasers. The introduction of a halogen into the structure of crystals could balance the relationship between the band gap Eg and nonlinear optical (NLO) coefficient owing to their outstanding electronegativity and control the optical anisotropy. In this work, the optical properties of phosphohalides α/β-Cd2P3X (X = Cl, Br, I) were studied. It was found that the birefringences of α/β-Cd2P3Cl (0.23/0.24 @ 1064 nm) are unexpectedly 8 times larger than those of α/β-Cd2P3I (0.04/0.03 @ 1064 nm). To find the optical property origins and explore the contributions of microscopic groups to the optical anisotropy and NLO responses in Cd-P-X (X = Cl, Br, I), the first-principles, real-space atom-cutting, and polarizability anisotropy analysis methods were used. This reveals that the electron distribution is susceptible to halogen electronegativity. Halogen atoms can modulate the polarization anisotropy of the active polyhedron and influence the birefringence significantly, owing to the synergistic effect of the anion size and strong covalent interactions between halogens and metal cations. This work clarifies the optical anisotropy origin mechanism and provides a general strategy for finding promising birefringent crystals in phosphohalide systems.

Abstract
Two chalcogenide crystalline compounds, [enH2][Ag4Sb2S6] (en = ethylenediamine) and [enH][Ag2SbS3], have been successfully synthesized by mild ionothermal and solvothermal means. [enH][Ag2SbS3] crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric (NCS) and polar space group Pc, and its linear and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties have been investigated for the first time. Second harmonic generation (SHG) measurements revealed that [enH][Ag2SbS3] affords powder SHG performance values of 2.5 × KDP @1064 nm and 0.2 × AgGaS2 @2100 nm. Additional particle size vs. SHG efficiency measurements indicate that [enH][Ag2SbS3] is phase-matchable. The calculated birefringence Δn is 0.177 at 1064 nm, which is sufficiently large (the largest value among NCS thioantimonates) to achieve phase matching. [enH2][Ag4Sb2S6] crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P21/c and its structure features a double-layered variant honeycomb-like anionic network parallel to the ac plane separated by [enH2]2+ cations. The optical band gaps of [enH2][Ag4Sb2S6] and [enH][Ag2SbS3] are found to be 2.37 and 2.53 eV, respectively. Theoretical studies using density functional theory have been implemented to further elucidate the relationship between the band structure and NLO properties in [enH][Ag2SbS3].

Abstract
Nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have critically important applications in advanced laser technologies. However, achieving a good balance between the mutual competing NLO properties and band gap within one molecular structure remains a great challenge. In this study, two alkaline earth metal fluorinated molybdenum oxide selenite/tellurite, Ba(MoO2F)2(XO3)2 [X = Se (BMFS) and Te (BMFT)], were synthesized through a facile unary substitution: BMFS was obtained by partial substitution of oxygen atoms with highly electronegative fluorine in the parent compound BaMo2O5(SeO3)2 (BMS), while BMFT was achieved by further replacing lone-pair Se4+ cations in BMFS with heavier Te4+ cations in the same main group. By partially replacing oxygen with fluorine, BMFS shows a broadened band gap and enhanced second harmonic generation (SHG) response compared to BMS owing to the high electronegativity of fluorine anions and the favorable orientation and alignment of NLO-active [MoO5F]5- and [SeO3]2- groups, which is relatively rare for unary anion substitution. BMFS and BMFT are isostructural and both belong to the polar space group Aba2, featuring a three-dimensional (3D) double-layered framework composed of 2D [MoO4F(XO3)]∞ anionic layers interconnected by divalent barium cations. Both BMFS and BMFT exhibit good optical performance, including large SHG responses (3× and 4× KH2PO4), wide band gaps (3.30 and 3.27 eV) and optical transparency window, and high laser damage thresholds (60× and 53× AgGaS2), demonstrating their potential applications as promising second-order NLO crystals. DFT calculations have elucidated the crucial role of the [MoO5F]5- groups in the enlarged band gaps and enhanced SHG responses in BMFS and BMFT. This work proposes a feasible unary substitution strategy for synthesizing the first polar fluorinated molybdenum oxide selenite/tellurite with synchronously enlarged band gaps and SHG efficiency.

Abstract
A new lead borate iodide, [O2Pb3]2(BO3)I, has been successfully synthesized by a facile hydrothermal reaction. It exhibits an infinite one-dimensional (1D) 1∞[O2Pb3] double chain which is constructed from OPb4 oxygen-centered tetrahedra. The 1∞[O2Pb3] double chains are further bridged by BO3 units via sharing oxygen atoms to form two-dimensional (2D) 2∞[(O2Pb3)2(BO3)] layers with the I- ions situated in the spaces between the layers. First principles calculations indicate that [O2Pb3]2(BO3)I exhibits a birefringence of about 0.072@1064 nm which originates from the synergistic contributions of the Pb-O/I and BO3 units. The IR, UV-vis-NIR and EDS results, as well as TG-DSC curves were also discussed in detail.

Abstract
IR nonlinear-optical (NLO) crystal is the important device in IR laser technology. Nevertheless, the application of most IR NLO crystals in high-power lasers is always limited by the low laser damage threshold (LDT), which is mainly caused by the narrow optical band gap (Eg). Here, the physical properties of the Rb21.89W32.66O108 (RWO) crystal with a longer absorption cutoff edge and a wide Eg were systematically studied for the first time. A preliminary measurement of the LDT was performed, and the result shows that RWO has a high powder LDT of about 42 times that of AgGaS2. In order to better understand the relationship between the structure and properties, the dipole moments of WO6 octahedra were accurately calculated and analyzed. Meanwhile, it was indicated that RWO exhibits an ideal frequency doubling strength with the type I phase matching. Finally, it was revealed that RWO has great application value as an IR NLO crystal.

Abstract
The structure-property relationship of photoelectric functional materials has been recognized as a hot topic. The study of the inner link between the band gaps and birefringence of optical materials is extremely crucial for the design and creation of novel optical devices, but still remains rather unexplored. In this work, taking a series of borates with only planar-triangular BO3 groups, α-/β-TM3(BO3)2 (TM = Zn, Cd), Cd2B2O5, and M3(BO3)2 (M = Hg, Mg, Ca, Sr) as the research subject, the comprehensive relationship between their electronic structures and linear optical properties has been systematically investigated. Through combining experimental measurements and theoretical calculations, the effect of optical polarizability on the birefringence of these borates was clarified. Based on the present discussion, the relationship between the O (2p) bandwidth of the highest valence band and the HSE06 band gaps is opposite. Meanwhile, a method involving the determination of so-called optical permittivity Δε to evaluate the magnitude of birefringence Δn is found to be feasible. A large Δε makes a positive contribution to Δn. In addition, the experimentally measured band gaps and IR vibrations are in good agreement with theoretical results for the compounds α-Cd3(BO3)2 and Cd2B2O5.
