Abstract
This research paper delves into the enhancement of wastewater treatment through the design and synthesis of advanced photocatalytic materials, focusing on the effects of sodium (Na) substitution in Ca1-xNaxTa0.5Ti0.5O3 perovskites. By employing various analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy, the study examines the transition of these perovskites from tetragonal to orthorhombic structures and observes a reduction in Ca content with Na substitution, which also favors the cubic phase formation and inhibits secondary phases. Significantly, magnetic property analysis uncovers an unexpected ferromagnetic ordering in these perovskites, including compositions traditionally viewed as non-magnetic. The photocatalytic tests reveal a significant improvement in degrading Rhodamine B dye under visible light, particularly in samples with higher Na levels, attributed to enhanced light absorption and efficient electron processes. The study highlights the optimal Na substitution level for peak photocatalytic performance, offering valuable insights into the complex interplay between structural, magnetic, and photocatalytic properties of these perovskites, and their potential in various applications, thereby contributing to the advancement of wastewater treatment technologies.

Abstract
Piezoelectric energy harvesting captures mechanical energy from a number of sources, such as vibrations, the movement of objects and bodies, impact events, and fluid flow to generate electric power. Such power can be employed to support wireless communication, electronic components, ocean monitoring, tissue engineering, and biomedical devices. A variety of self-powered piezoelectric sensors, transducers, and actuators have been produced for these applications, however approaches to enhance the piezoelectric properties of materials to increase device performance remain a challenging frontier of materials research. In this regard, the intrinsic polarization and properties of materials can be designed or deliberately engineered to enhance the piezo-generated power. This review provides insights into the mechanisms of piezoelectricity in advanced materials, including perovskites, active polymers, and natural biomaterials, with a focus on the chemical and physical strategies employed to enhance the piezo-response and facilitate their integration into complex electronic systems. Applications in energy harvesting and soft robotics are overviewed by highlighting the primary performance figures of merits, the actuation mechanisms, and relevant applications. Key breakthroughs and valuable strategies to further improve both materials and device performance are discussed, together with a critical assessment of the requirements of next-generation piezoelectric systems, and future scientific and technological solutions.

Abstract
The investigation of inhomogeneous surfaces, where various local structures coexist, is crucial for understanding interfaces of technological interest, yet it presents significant challenges. Here, we study the atomic configurations of the (2 × m) Ti-rich surfaces at (110)-oriented SrTiO3 by bringing together scanning tunneling microscopy and transferable neural-network force fields combined with evolutionary exploration. We leverage an active learning methodology to iteratively extend the training data as needed for different configurations. Training on only small well-known reconstructions, we are able to extrapolate to the complicated and diverse overlayers encountered in different regions of the inhomogeneous SrTiO3(110)-(2 × m) surface. Our machine-learning-backed approach generates several new candidate structures, in good agreement with experiment and verified using density functional theory. The approach could be extended to other complex metal oxides featuring large coexisting surface reconstructions.

Abstract
The design of novel quaternary materials can be a chemically challenging endeavor. Here, we show that a new tolerance factor, we herein call the quaternary tolerance factor (QTF), akin to the Goldschmidt ratio, can be applied to a homologous series of quaternary materials to aid in the prediction of structural stability in new phases. Single crystals of nine new members of the A2Ln4Cu2nQ7+n homologous series were synthesized (A = K, Rb, Cs, Ln = Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er, Yb, Lu, Q = S, Se) for n = 1, 2, and 3 using a reactive KCl flux method as the sole potassium source. This homologous series is notable for being the largest of all known chalcogenide homologies and thus serves as a case study for understanding quaternary structural relationships. We present a thorough structural analysis of these newly synthesized compounds and place them in the context of all previously reported members of the homologous series. We then report a generalizable tolerance factor capable of predicting structurally interrelated quaternary materials from an a priori sphere-packing approach for the design of new materials.

Abstract
Perovskite oxides are proven as a striking platform for developing high-performance electrocatalysts. Nonetheless, a significant portion of them show CO2 electroreduction (CO2RR) inertness. Here a simple but effective strategy is reported to activate inert perovskite oxides (e.g., SrTiO3) for CO2RR through slight Cu2+ doping in B-sites. For the proof-of-concept catalysts of SrTi1-xCuxO3 (x = 0.025, 0.05, and 0.1), Cu2+ doping (even in trace amount, e.g., x = 0.025) can not only create active, stable CuO6 octahedra, increase electrochemical active surface area, and accelerate charge transfer, but also significantly regulate the electronic structure (e.g., up-shifted band center) to promote activation/adsorption of reaction intermediates. Benefiting from these merits, the stable SrTi1-xCuxO3 catalysts feature great improvements (at least an order of magnitude) in CO2RR activity and selectivity for high-order products (i.e., CH4 and C2+), compared to the SrTiO3 parent. This work provides a new avenue for the conversion of inert perovskite oxides into high-performance electrocatalysts toward CO2RR.

Abstract
The controlled regulation of A-site in rare earth manganate perovskites can orderly arrange the electronic states, leading to the emergence of unique transport properties. However, it is challenging to balance crystal structure stability and property variations during the multi-ion doping. In this study, a series of multivalent manganate perovskites are synthesized by hydrothermal method through the A-site multielement doping, which enables the manganese atoms with varying valence states to orderly arrange at the B site. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) confirm that the splitting of the K─O hybrid orbitals in the crystal effectively prevents any distortion of the MnO6 octahedron, thereby facilitating the ordered arrangement of Mn (III) -Mn (IV) -Mn (V) at the B-site and promoting superstructure formation. The transient absorption spectra (TAS) reveals that the sequential arrangement of Mn (III) - Mn (IV) - Mn(V) better forms the charge transfer channels, and thereby makes the photodynamic properties of the sample composition-dependent. These photodynamic properties will facilitate the study of exciton-electron coupling behavior in LCKMO crystals during electrical transport.

Abstract
A-site doped SrTiO3 is considered as a promising substitute for traditional anodic metals in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). In this study, we present the reactivity of La0.2Sr0.25Ca0.45TiO3 (LCSTO), La0.2Sr0.7TiO3 (LSTO), and SrTiO3 (STO) toward H2 by operando ambient pressure NEXAFS spectroscopy and theoretical spectra simulation with FDMNES code. The samples were synthesized by MBE (molecular beam epitaxy), hydrothermal, and modified-Pechini routes. We found that the reducibility of the samples depends not only on their stoichiometry but also on the morphology, which is determined by the synthetic method. The results of these experiments give insight into the reducibility of Ti4+ in perovskites as well as the opportunity to further optimize the synthesis of these materials to obtain the best performance for SOFC applications.

Abstract
We employed operando soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to monitor the changes in the valence states and spin properties of LaMn1-x Co x O3 catalysts subjected to a mixture of CO and O2 at ambient pressure. Guided by simulations based on charge transfer multiplet theory, we quantitatively analyze the Mn and Co 2p XAS as well as the oxygen K-edge XAS spectra during the reaction process. The Mn sites are particularly sensitive to the catalytic reaction, displaying dynamics in their oxidation state. When Co doping is introduced (x ≤ 0.5), Mn oxidizes from Mn2+ to Mn3+ and Mn4+, while Co largely maintains a valence state of Co2+. In the case of LaCoO3, we identify high-spin and low-spin Co3+ species combined with Co2+. Our investigation underscores the importance to consider the spin and valence states of catalyst materials under operando conditions.

Abstract
Cation ordering in multication perovskites is related to many important material properties and performances, but computational determination of the cation ordering remains a major challenge. Here, we propose a new computational approach by introducing a machine learning recommender system into the basin-hopping framework (RBH) for optimizing cation ordering. Taking the electrocatalyst Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3 (BSCF5582) as a showcase example, we found that the efficiency of RBH in identifying low-energy configurations outperforms the methods of cluster expansion and conventional basin-hopping. The RBH results revealed that the BSCF5582 catalyst tended to have a layered ordering of A-site cations and disordered B-site cations both in bulk and on the surfaces. Further, on the A-site-terminated surface, we found the segregation of large Ba atoms. Similarly, on the A-site- terminated surface of the recently developed Cs0.2Sr0.8Co0.4Fe0.6O3 (CSCF2846) catalyst, layered ordering at the A-site and surface enrichment of large Cs atoms were also found. The layered ordering was robust against thermal effects, as found from molecular dynamics simulations at 800 K. This work provides a new approach for thermodynamic global optimization of chemical ordering in multicomponent materials.

Abstract
Triethylamine is a common volatile organic compound (VOC) that plays an important role in areas such as organic solvents, chemical industries, dyestuffs, and leather treatments. However, exposure to triethylamine atmosphere can pose a serious threat to human health. In this study, gas-sensing semiconductor materials of LaFeO3 nano materials with different Mo-doping ratios were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The crystal structures, micro morphologies, and surface states of the prepared samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, and XPS, respectively. The gas-sensing tests showed that the Mo doping enhanced the gas-sensing performance of LaFeO3. Especially, the 4% Mo-doped LaFeO3 exhibited the highest response towards triethylamine (TEA) gas, a value approximately 11 times greater than that of pure LaFeO3. Meantime, the 4% Mo-doped LaFeO3 sensor showed a remarkably robust linear correlation between the response and the concentration (R2 = 0.99736). In addition, the selectivity, stability, response/recovery time, and moisture-proof properties were evaluated. Finally, the gas-sensing mechanism is discussed. This study provides an idea for exploring a new type of efficient and low-cost metal-doped LaFeO3 sensor to monitor the concentration of triethylamine gas for the purpose of safeguarding human health and safety.

Abstract
Constructing relatively inexpensive nanomaterials to simulate the catalytic performance of laccase is of great significance in recent years. Although research on improving laccase-like activity by regulating ligands of copper (amino acids or small organic molecules, etc.) have achieved remarkable success. There are few reports on improving laccase-like activity by adjusting the composition of metal Cu. Here, we used perovskite hydroxide AB(OH)6 as a model to evaluate the relationship between Cu based alloys and their laccase-like activity. We found that when the Cu/Mn alloy ratio of the perovskite hydroxide A point is greater than 1, the laccase-like activity of the binary alloy perovskite hydroxide is higher than that of the corresponding single Cu. Based on the measurements of XPS and ICP-MS, we deduced that the improvements of laccase-like activity mainly attribute to the ratio of Cu+/Cu2+and the content of Cu. Moreover, two types of substrates (toxic pollutants and catechol neurotransmitters) were used to successfully demonstrated such nanozymes' excellent environmental protecting function and biosensing property. This work will provide a novel approach for the construction and application of laccase-like nanozymes in the future.

Molecules 2024; 29:3190.

Abstract
Ba1-xCexMnO3 (BM-Cex) and Ba1-xLaxMn0.7Cu0.3O3 (BMC-Lax) perovskite-type mixed oxides were synthesized using the sol-gel method adapted for aqueous media with different values of x (0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.6) to estimate the effect of the degree of the partial substitution of Ba by Ce or La on the structure and properties that are relevant for their use as catalysts for gasoline direct injection (GDI) soot oxidation. The samples were deeply characterized by ICP-OES, XRD, XPS, N2 adsorption, H2-TPR, and O2-TPD, and their potential as catalysts for soot oxidation has been analyzed in various scenarios that replicate the exhaust conditions of a GDI engine. By comparing the catalytic performance for soot oxidation of the two tested series (BM-Cex and BMC-Lax) and in the two conditions used (100% He and 1% O2 in He), it could be concluded that (i) in the absence of oxygen in the reaction atmosphere (100% He), BMC-La0.1 is the best catalyst, as copper is also able to catalyze the soot oxidation; and (ii) if oxygen is present in the reaction atmosphere (1% O2/He), BM-Ce0.1 is the most-active catalyst as it presents a higher proportion of Mn(IV) than BMC-La0.1. Thus, it seems that the addition of an amount of Ce or La higher than that corresponding to x = 0.1 in Ba1-xCexMnO3 and Ba1-xLaxCu0.3Mn0.7O3 does not allow us to improve the catalytic performance of BM-Ce0.1 and BMC-La0.1 for soot oxidation in the tested conditions.

Abstract
Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals that can expand the spectral range of laser outputs have attracted significant attention for their optoelectronic applications. The research progress from the discovery of new single crystal structures to the realization of final device applications involves many key steps and is very time consuming and challenging. Consequently, exploring efficient design strategies to shorten the research period and accelerate the rational design of novel NLO materials has become imperative to address the pressing demand for advanced materials. The recent shift in paradigm toward exploring new NLO crystals involves significant progress from extensive "trial and error" methodologies to strategic approaches. This review proposes the concept of rational structure design for nonlinear optical crystals leveraging advantageous templates. It further discusses their optical characteristics, promising applications as second-order NLO materials, and the relationship between their structure and performance, and highlights urgent issues that need to be addressed in the field of NLO crystals in the future. The review aims to provide ideas and driving impetus to encourage researchers to achieve new breakthroughs in the next generation of NLO materials.

Abstract
Ferroelectrics have become indispensable components in various application fields, including information processing, energy harvesting, and electromechanical conversion, owing to their unique ability to exhibit electrically or mechanically switchable polarization. The distinct polar noncentrosymmetric lattices of ferroelectrics make them highly responsive to specific crystal structures. Even slight changes in the lattice can alter the polarization configuration and response to external fields. In this regard, strain engineering has emerged as a prevalent regulation approach that not only offers a versatile platform for structural and performance optimization within ferroelectrics but also unlocks boundless potential in various functional materials. In this review, we systematically summarize the breakthroughs in ferroelectric-based functional materials achieved through strain engineering and progress in method development. We cover research activities ranging from fundamental attributes to wide-ranging applications and novel functionalities ranging from electromechanical transformation in sensors and actuators to tunable dielectric materials and information technologies, such as transistors and nonvolatile memories. Building upon these achievements, we also explore the endeavors to uncover the unprecedented properties through strain engineering in related chemical functionalities, such as ferromagnetism, multiferroicity, and photoelectricity. Finally, through discussions on the prospects and challenges associated with strain engineering in the materials, this review aims to stimulate the development of new methods for strain regulation and performance boosting in functional materials, transcending the boundaries of ferroelectrics.

Abstract
The CoSn(OH)6 perovskite hydroxide is a structure stable and inexpensive electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the OER activity of CoSn(OH)6 is still unfavorable due to its limited active sites. In this work, an Fe3+ doping strategy is used to optimize the d-band state of the CoSn(OH)6 perovskite hydroxide. The CoSn(OH)6 catalyst with slightly Fe3+ doped nanocubes is synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. Structure characterization shows that Fe3+ ions are incorporated into the crystal structure of CoSn(OH)6. Owing to the regulation of the electronic structure, CoSn(OH)6-Fe1.8% exhibits an OER overpotential of 289 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in OER electrochemical tests. In situ Raman spectroscopy shows that no obvious re-construction occurred during the OER for both CoSn(OH)6 and CoSn(OH)6-Fe1.8%. DFT calculations show that the introduction of Fe3+ into CoSn(OH)6 can shift the d-band center to a relatively high position, thus promoting the OER intermediates' adsorption ability. Further DFT calculations suggest that incorporation of an appropriate amount of Fe3+ into CoSn(OH)6 significantly reduces the rate-determining Gibbs free energy during the OER. This work offers valuable insights into tuning the d-band center of perovskite hydroxide materials for efficient OER applications.

Abstract
More and more attention has been paid to condensable particulate matter (CPM) since its emissions have surpassed that of filterable particulate matter (FPM) with the large-scale application of ultralow-emission reform. CPM is a gaseous material in the flue stack but instantly turns into particles after leaving the stack. It is composed of inorganic and organic components. Organic components are an important part of CPM, and they are an irritant, teratogenic, and carcinogenic, which triggers photochemical smog, urban haze, and acid deposition. CPM organic components can aggravate air pollution and climate change; therefore, consideration should be given to them. Based on existing methods for removing atmospheric organic pollutants and combined with the characteristics of CPM organic components, we provide a critical overview from the aspects of (i) fundamental cognition of CPM, (ii) common methods to control CPM organic components, and (iii) catalytic oxidation of CPM organic components. As one of the most encouraging methods, catalytic oxidation is discussed in detail, especially in combination with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology, to meet the growing demands for multipollutant control (MPC). We believe that this review is inspiring for a fuller understanding and deeper exploration of promising approaches to control CPM organic components.

Abstract
CONTEXT The present work provides a systematic theoretical analysis of the nature of the chemical bond in Al2O3, Ga2O3, and In2O3 group 13 cubic crystal structure metal oxides. The influence of the functional in the resulting band gap is assessed. The topological analysis of the electron density provides unambiguous information about the degree of ionicity along the group which is linearly correlated with the band gap values and with the cost of forming a single oxygen vacancy. Overall, this study offers a comprehensive insight into the electronic structure of metal oxides and their interrelations. This will help researchers to harness information effectively, boosting the development of novel metal oxide catalysts or innovative methodologies for their preparation. METHODS Periodic density functional theory was used to predict the atomic structure of the materials of interest. Structure optimization was carried out using the PBE functional, using a plane wave basis set and the PAW representation of the atomic cores, using the VASP code. Next, the electronic properties were computed by carrying out single point calculations employing PBE, PBE + U functionals using VASP and also with PBE and the hybrid HSE06 functionals using the FHI-AIMS software. For the hybrid HSE06, the impact of the screening parameter, ω, and mixing parameter, α, on the calculated band gap has also been assessed.

Abstract
Over the decades, the rise in nitrate levels in the ecosystem has posed a serious threat to the continuous existence of humans, fauna, and flora. The deleterious effects of increasing levels of nitrates in the ecosystem have led to adverse health and environmental implications in the form of methemoglobinemia and eutrophication, respectively. Different pathways/routes for the syntheses of perovskites and their oxides were presented in this review. In recent times, electrocatalytic reduction has emerged as the most utilized technique for the conversion of nitrates into ammonia, an industrial feedstock. According to published papers, the efficiency of various perovskites and their oxides used for the electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate achieved a high Faradaic efficiency of 98%. Furthermore, studies published have shown that there is a need to improve the chemical stability of perovskites and their oxides during scale-up applications, as well as their scalability for industrial applications.

Intrinsic Room-Temperature Ferromagnetism in New Halide Perovskite AgCrX 3 (X: F, Cl, Br, I) Using Ab Initio and Monte Carlo Simulations. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:18148-18159. [PMID: 38680354 PMCID: PMC11044162 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c10174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
Herein, we present a detailed comparative study of the structural, elastic, electronic, and magnetic properties of a series of new halide perovskite AgCrX3 (X: F, Cl, Br, I) crystal structures using density functional theory, mean-field theory (MFT), and quantum Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. As demonstrated by the negative formation energy and Born-Huang stability criteria, the suggested perovskite compounds show potential stability in the cubic crystal structure. The materials are ductile because the Pugh's ratio is greater than 1.75, and the Cauchy pressure (C12-C44) is positive. The ground state magnetic moments of the compound were calculated as 3.70, 3.91, 3.92, and 3.91 μB for AgCrF3, AgCrCl3, AgCrBr3, and AgCrI3, respectively. The GGA + SOC computed spin-polarized electronic structures reveal ferromagnetism and confirm the metallic character in all of these compounds under consideration. These characteristics are robust under a ±3% strained lattice constant. Using relativistic pseudopotentials, the total energy is calculated, which yields that the single ion anisotropy is 0.004 meV and the z-axis is the hard-axis in the series of AgCrX3 (X: F, Cl, Br, and I) compounds. Further, to explore room-temperature intrinsic ferromagnetism, we considered ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions of the magnetic ions in the compounds by considering a supercell with 2 × 2 × 2 dimensions. The transition temperature is estimated by two models, namely, MFT and MC simulations. The calculated Curie temperatures using MC simulations are 518.35, 624.30, 517.94, and 497.28 K, with ±5% error for AgCrF3, AgCrCl3, AgCrBr3, and AgCrI3 compounds, respectively. Our results suggest that halide perovskite AgCrX3 compounds are promising materials for spintronic nanodevices at room temperature and provide new recommendations. For the first time, we report results for novel halide perovskite compounds based on Ag and Cr atoms.

Abstract
Recently, the utilization of metal halide perovskites in sensing and their application in environmental studies have reached a new height. Among the different metal halide perovskites, cesium lead halide perovskites (CsPbX3; X = Cl, Br, and I) and composites have attracted great interest in sensing applications owing to their exceptional optoelectronic properties. Most CsPbX3 nanostructures and composites possess great structural stability, luminescence, and electrical properties for developing distinct optical and photonic devices. When exposed to light, heat, and water, CsPbX3 and composites can display stable sensing utilities. Many CsPbX3 and composites have been reported as probes in the detection of diverse analytes, such as metal ions, anions, important chemical species, humidity, temperature, radiation photodetection, and so forth. So far, the sensing studies of metal halide perovskites covering all metallic and organic-inorganic perovskites have already been reviewed in many studies. Nevertheless, a detailed review of the sensing utilities of CsPbX3 and composites could be helpful for researchers who are looking for innovative designs using these nanomaterials. Herein, we deliver a thorough review of the sensing utilities of CsPbX3 and composites, in the quantitation of metal ions, anions, chemicals, explosives, bioanalytes, pesticides, fungicides, cellular imaging, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), toxic gases, humidity, temperature, radiation, and photodetection. Furthermore, this review also covers the synthetic pathways, design requirements, advantages, limitations, and future directions for this material.

Abstract
The directional transformation of carbon dioxide (CO2) with renewable hydrogen into specific carbon-heavy products (C6+) of high value presents a sustainable route for net-zero chemical manufacture. However, it is still challenging to simultaneously achieve high activity and selectivity due to the unbalanced CO2 hydrogenation and C-C coupling rates on complementary active sites in a bifunctional catalyst, thus causing unexpected secondary reaction. Here we report LaFeO3 perovskite-mediated directional tandem conversion of CO2 towards heavy aromatics with high CO2 conversion (> 60%), exceptional aromatics selectivity among hydrocarbons (> 85%), and no obvious deactivation for 1000 hours. This is enabled by disentangling the CO2 hydrogenation domain from the C-C coupling domain in the tandem system for Iron-based catalyst. Unlike other active Fe oxides showing wide hydrocarbon product distribution due to carbide formation, LaFeO3 by design is endowed with superior resistance to carburization, therefore inhibiting uncontrolled C-C coupling on oxide and isolating aromatics formation in the zeolite. In-situ spectroscopic evidence and theoretical calculations reveal an oxygenate-rich surface chemistry of LaFeO3, that easily escape from the oxide surface for further precise C-C coupling inside zeolites, thus steering CO2-HCOOH/H2CO-Aromatics reaction pathway to enable a high yield of aromatics.

Abstract
Recently, the emergence of all-organic perovskites with three-dimensional (3D) structures has expanded the potential applications of perovskite materials. However, the synthesis and utilization of all-organic perovskites in 2D form remain largely unexplored because the design principle has not been developed. We present the successful synthesis of a metal-free 2D layered perovskite, denoted as the Choi-Loh van der Waals phase (CL-v phase), with the chemical formula A2B2X4, where A represents a larger-sized cation compared to B and X denotes an anion. The CL-v phase exhibits a van der Waals gap enabled by interlayer hydrogen bonding and can be exfoliated or grown as molecularly thin 2D organic crystals. The dielectric constants of the CL-v phase range from 4.8 to 5.5 and we demonstrate their potential as gate dielectrics for thin-film transistors.

Abstract
Developing electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices (e.g., water splitting, regenerative fuel cells and rechargeable metal-air batteries) driven by intermittent renewable energy sources holds a great potential to facilitate global energy transition and alleviate the associated environmental issues. However, the involved kinetically sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) severely limits the entire reaction efficiency, thus designing high-performance materials toward efficient OER is of prime significance to remove this obstacle. Among various materials, cost-effective perovskite oxides have drawn particular attention due to their desirable catalytic activity, excellent stability and large reserves. To date, substantial efforts have been dedicated with varying degrees of success to promoting OER on perovskite oxides, which have generated multiple reviews from various perspectives, e.g., electronic structure modulation and heteroatom doping and various applications. Nonetheless, the reviews that comprehensively and systematically focus on the latest intellectual design strategies of perovskite oxides toward efficient OER are quite limited. To bridge the gap, this review thus emphatically concentrates on this very topic with broader coverages, more comparative discussions and deeper insights into the synthetic modulation, doping, surface engineering, structure mutation and hybrids. More specifically, this review elucidates, in details, the underlying causality between the being-tuned physiochemical properties [e.g., electronic structure, metal-oxygen (M-O) bonding configuration, adsorption capacity of oxygenated species and electrical conductivity] of the intellectually designed perovskite oxides and the resulting OER performances, coupled with perspectives and potential challenges on future research. It is our sincere hope for this review to provide the scientific community with more insights for developing advanced perovskite oxides with high OER catalytic efficiency and further stimulate more exciting applications.

Abstract
The structure of catalysts determines the performance of catalytic processes. Intrinsically, the electronic and geometric structures influence the interaction between active species and the surface of the catalyst, which subsequently regulates the adsorption, reaction, and desorption behaviors. In recent decades, the development of catalysts with complex structures, including bulk, interfacial, encapsulated, and atomically dispersed structures, can potentially affect the electronic and geometric structures of catalysts and lead to further control of the transport and reaction of molecules. This review describes comprehensive understandings on the influence of electronic and geometric properties and complex catalyst structures on the performance of relevant heterogeneous catalytic processes, especially for the transport and reaction over structured catalysts for the conversions of light alkanes and small molecules. The recent research progress of the electronic and geometric properties over the active sites, specifically for theoretical descriptors developed in the recent decades, is discussed at the atomic level. The designs and properties of catalysts with specific structures are summarized. The transport phenomena and reactions over structured catalysts for the conversions of light alkanes and small molecules are analyzed. At the end of this review, we present our perspectives on the challenges for the further development of structured catalysts and heterogeneous catalytic processes.

Abstract
Material design is increasingly used to realize desired functional properties, and the perovskite structure family is one of the richest and most diverse: perovskites are employed in many applications due to their structural flexibility and compositional diversity. Hexagonal, layered perovskite structures with chains of face-sharing transition metal oxide octahedra have attracted great interest as quantum materials due to their magnetic and electronic properties. Ba4MMn3O12, a member of the "12R" class of hexagonal, layered perovskites, contains trimers of face-sharing MnO6 octahedra that are linked by a corner-sharing, bridging MO6 octahedron. Here, we investigate cluster magnetism in the Mn3O12 trimers and the role of this bridging octahedron on the magnetic properties of two isostructural 12R materials by systematically changing the M4+ cation from nonmagnetic Ce4+ (f0) to magnetic Pr4+ (f1). We synthesized 12R-Ba4MMn3O12 (M= Ce, Pr) with high phase purity and characterized their low-temperature crystal structures and magnetic properties. Using substantially higher purity samples than previously reported, we confirm the frustrated antiferromagnetic ground state of 12R-Ba4PrMn3O12 below TN ≈ 7.75 K and explore the cluster magnetism of its Mn3O12 trimers. Despite being atomically isostructural with 12R-Ba4CeMn3O12, the f1 electron associated with Pr4+ causes much more complex magnetic properties in 12R-Ba4PrMn3O12. In 12R-Ba4PrMn3O12, we observe a sharp, likely antiferromagnetic transition at T2 ≈ 12.15 K and an additional transition at T1 ≈ 200 K, likely in canted antiferromagnetic order. These results suggest that careful variation of composition within the family of hexagonal, layered perovskites can be used to tune material properties using the complex role of the Pr4+ ion in magnetism.

Abstract
The sol-gel method, adapted to aqueous media, was used for the synthesis of BaMn0.7Cu0.3O3 (BMC) and Ba0.9A0.1Mn0.7Cu0.3O3 (BMC-A, A = Ce, La or Mg) perovskite-type mixed oxides. These samples were fully characterized by ICP-OES, XRD, XPS, H2-TPR, BET, and O2-TPD and, subsequently, they were evaluated as catalysts for CO oxidation under different conditions simulating that found in cars exhaust. The characterization results show that after the partial replacement of Ba by A metal in BMC perovskite: (i) a fraction of the polytype structure was converted to the hexagonal BaMnO3 perovskite structure, (ii) A metal used as dopant was incorporated into the lattice of the perovskite, (iii) oxygen vacancies existed on the surface of samples, and iv) Mn(IV) and Mn(III) coexisted on the surface and in the bulk, with Mn(IV) being the main oxidation state on the surface. In the three reactant atmospheres used, all samples catalysed the CO to CO2 oxidation reaction, showing better performances after the addition of A metal and for reactant mixtures with low CO/O2 ratios. BMC-Ce was the most active catalyst because it combined the highest reducibility and oxygen mobility, the presence of copper and of oxygen vacancies on the surface, the contribution of the Ce(IV)/Ce(III) redox pair, and a high proportion of surface and bulk Mn(IV). At 200 °C and in the 0.1% CO + 10% O2 reactant gas mixture, the CO conversion using BMC-Ce was very similar to the achieved with a 1% Pt/Al2O3 (Pt-Al) reference catalyst.

Multiplying Oxygen Permeability of a Ruddlesden-Popper Oxide by Orientation Control via Magnets. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202312473. [PMID: 37987465 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202312473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
Ruddlesden-Popper-type oxides exhibit remarkable chemical stability in comparison to perovskite oxides. However, they display lower oxygen permeability. We present an approach to overcome this trade-off by leveraging the anisotropic properties of Nd2 NiO4+δ . Its (a,b)-plane, having oxygen diffusion coefficient and surface exchange coefficient several orders of magnitude higher than its c-axis, can be aligned perpendicular to the gradient of oxygen partial pressure by a magnetic field (0.81 T). A stable and high oxygen flux of 1.40 mL min-1 cm-2 was achieved for at least 120 h at 1223 K by a textured asymmetric disk membrane with 1.0 mm thickness under the pure CO2 sweeping. Its excellent operational stability was also verified even at 1023 K in pure CO2 . These findings highlight the significant enhancement in oxygen permeation membrane performance achievable by adjusting the grain orientation. Consequently, Nd2 NiO4+δ emerges as a promising candidate for industrial applications in air separation, syngas production, and CO2 capture under harsh conditions.

Abstract
Perovskite oxides are extensively utilized in energy storage and conversion. However, they are conventionally screened via time-consuming and cost-intensive experimental approaches and density functional theory. Herein, interpretable machine learning is applied to identify perovskite oxides from virtual perovskite-type combinations by constructing classification and regression models to predict their thermodynamic stability and energy above the convex hull (Eh), respectively, and interpreting the models using SHapley Additive exPlanations. The highest occupied molecular orbital energy and the elastic modulus of the B-site elements of perovskite oxides are the top two features for stability prediction, whereas the Stability Label and features involving the elastic modulus and ionic radius are crucial for Eh regression. A classification model, which displays an accuracy of 0.919, precision of 0.937, F1-score of 0.932, and recall of 0.935, screens 682 143 stable perovskite oxides from 1 126 668 virtual perovskite-type combinations. The Eh values of the predicted stable perovskites are forecasted by a regression model with a coefficient of determination of 0.916, and root mean square error of 24.2 meV atom-1. Good agreement is observed between the regression model predicted and density functional theory-calculated Eh values.

Abstract
As an important strategic resource, rare earths (REs) constitute 17 elements in the periodic table, namely 15 lanthanides (Ln) (La-Lu, atomic numbers from 57 to 71), scandium (Sc, atomic number 21) and yttrium (Y, atomic number 39). In the field of catalysis, the localization and incomplete filling of 4f electrons endow REs with unique physical and chemical properties, including rich electronic energy level structures, variable coordination numbers, etc., making them have great potential in electrocatalysis. Among various RE catalytic materials, rare earth oxide (REO)-based electrocatalysts exhibit excellent performances in electrocatalytic reactions due to their simple preparation process and strong structural variability. At the same time, the electronic orbital structure of REs exhibits excellent electron transfer ability, which can reduce the band gap and energy barrier values of rate-determining steps, further accelerating the electron transfer in the electrocatalytic reaction process; however, there is a lack of systematic review of recent advances in REO-based electrocatalysis. This review systematically summarizes the synthesis, properties and applications of REO-based nanocatalysts and discusses their applications in electrocatalysis in detail. It includes the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR), methanol oxidation reaction (MOR), nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) and other electrocatalytic reactions and further discusses the catalytic mechanism of REs in the above reactions. This review provides a timely and comprehensive summary of the current progress in the application of RE-based nanomaterials in electrocatalytic reactions and provides reasonable prospects for future electrocatalytic applications of REO-based materials.

Abstract
The traditional partial oxidation, dry reforming and steam reforming of methane technologies are separated into two reactors for execution by chemical looping technology, which can avoid the defects exposed in the traditional process (avoiding carbon accumulation, reducing costs, etc.). The key to chemical looping technology is to find suitable oxygen carriers (OCs), which can store and release oxygen to form a closed loop in the chemical looping. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current status of perovskite oxides for partial oxidation and reforming of methane in chemical looping, describe the structure, oxygen capacity, oxygen migration rate and common synthesis methods of perovskites in chemical looping. In addition, the effects of impregnation loading, ion doping, and structural morphology on the catalytic conversion of CH4 by perovskite OCs and the reaction mechanism on the OCs are also discussed.

Abstract
The dehydrogenation and dehydration of isopropanol on the SrO and TiO2 terminated surfaces, of the SrTiO3 perovskite, is addressed by periodic DFT calculations in order to shed light on the involved mechanisms. The results show that the dehydrogenation occurs through a mechanism involving the dissociative adsorption of the alcohol on the SrO terminated surface, followed the nucleophilic attack of a hydride species on the previously adsorbed hydrogen atom to form molecular hydrogen and the corresponding carbonyl compound. The dehydration instead occurs by the molecular adsorption of the alcohol on the TiO2 terminated surface, followed by various possible E1 elimination pathways leading to the formation of the corresponding alkene and a water molecule. The article reports a thorough study on the involved mechanisms, including identification of the transition states and intermediates along the reaction paths, and evaluation of the respective activation barriers, as well. Thus, this article provides significant insights about the mechanisms of dehydrogenation and dehydration of isopropanol on the SrTiO3 , not reported earlier in literature. The calculated barrier energies are in good agreement with experimental values.

Abstract
Borate antimony glass doped with vanadium oxide V2O5 encoded into a [BSV glass system] was prepared with the traditional melt quenching technique. The Nickel ferrite [NiFe2O4] was prepared using Flash auto-combustion and mixed at a fixed ratio of 0.05 gm into the glass matrix to form a BSV- composite glass system [BSV / NiFe2O4], which was also prepared using the traditional melt quenching technique. The X-Ray diffraction pattern was used to characterize the glass samples and indicated their amorphous structure, with different structure phases for different levels of V2O5 content. Ranging from 200 to 1100 nm, UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to study the optical properties of the samples. The glass was found to absorb electromagnetic waves with wavelengths lower than 500 nm, while the energy gap decreased from 2.46 eV for 0.1 mol% V2O5 to 2.39 eV for 0.5 wt% V2O5. The Urbach energy also had the same behavior, and decreasing from 0.226 to 0.217 eV. On the other hand, the refractive index increased when V2O5 was added. The thermal characteristics of a [BSV / NiFe2O4] system, such as, glass transition temperature [Formula: see text], onset temperature [Formula: see text], crystallization temperature [Formula: see text] and melting temperature [Formula: see text] were studied using a Differential Scanning Calorimeter. Using continuous and pulsed laser radiation, a [BSV-0.1 V2O5 / NiFe2O4] sample was exposed to laser irradiation to observe its effect on the optical features of the glass. Laser irradiation significantly changed the absorbance spectrum, while the energy gap decreased as time increased. The pulsed laser was found to have a more power-full and uniform effect compared to continuous laser. Time-dependent density function theory was used to optimize the geometrical structure of the glass and study the effect of the formation of 4- coordinate boron atoms on its properties.

Abstract
The electrical properties of (Ba0.7Sr0.3-xCax)(Ti0.9Zr0.1)O3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) (BSCTZ) ceramics prepared using citrate gelation (CG) method were investigated by substituting Ca2+ ions for the Sr2+ sites based on the structural characteristics of the ceramics. BSCTZ was sintered for 3 h at 1300 °C, lower than the temperature (1550 °C) at which the specimens prepared using the solid-state reaction (SSR) method were sintered, which lasted for 6 h. As the amount of substituted Ca2+ ions increased, the unit cell volume of the BSCTZ decreased because of the smaller ionic radius of the Ca2+ ions compared to the Sr2+ ions. The dielectric constant of BaTiO3-based ceramics is imparted by factors such as the tetragonality and B-site bond valence of the ceramics. Although the ceramic tetragonality increased with Ca2+ ion substitution, the x = 0.05 specimens exhibited the highest dielectric constant. The decrease in the dielectric constant of the sintered x > 0.05 specimens was attributed to the increase in the B-site bond valence of the ABO3 perovskite structure. Owing to the large number of grain boundaries, the breakdown voltage (6.6839 kV/mm) of the BSCTZ prepared using the CG method was significantly improved in relation to that (2.0043 kV/mm) of the specimen prepared using the SSR method.

Abstract
Atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) are used to gain atomic-scale insights into the heteroepitaxy of lanthanum-strontium manganite (LSMO, La1-xSrxMnO3-δ, x ≈ 0.2) on SrTiO3(110). LSMO is a perovskite oxide characterized by several composition-dependent surface reconstructions. The flexibility of the surface allows it to incorporate nonstoichiometries during growth, which causes the structure of the surface to evolve accordingly. This happens up to a critical point, where phase separation occurs, clusters rich in the excess cations form at the surface, and films show a rough morphology. To limit the nonstoichiometry introduced by non-optimal growth conditions, it proves useful to monitor the changes in surface atomic structures as a function of the PLD parameters and tune the latter accordingly.

Abstract
With the rapid development of novel energy conversion and storage technologies, there is a growing demand for enhanced performance in a wide range of electrocatalysts. Perovskite oxides (ABO3 ) have caused widespread concerns due to their excellent electrocatalytic properties, low cost, stable and reliable performance. In recent years, the research on anion O-site doping of perovskite oxides has been a cynosure, which is considered as a promising route for enhancing performance. However, a systematic review summarizing the research progress of anion-doped perovskite oxides is still lacking. Therefore, this review mainly introduces the elements and strategies of various common anions doped at O-site of perovskite oxides, analyzes their influence on the physical and chemical properties of perovskites, and separately concludes their applications in electrocatalysis. This review will provide ideas and prospects for the development of subsequent anion doping strategies for high performance perovskite oxides.

Abstract
Perovskite oxides have been of high-interest and relatively well studied over the last 20 years due to their various applications, specifically for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs). One of the key properties for a perovskite to perform well as a component in SOFCs, SOECs, and other high-temperature applications is its thermal expansion coefficient (TEC). The use of machine learning (ML) to predict material properties has greatly increased over the years and has proven to be a very useful tool for materials screening. The process of synthesizing and testing perovskite oxides is laborious and costly, and the use of physics-based models is often highly computationally expensive. Due to the amount of elements able to be accommodated in the ABO3 structure and the ability for crystallographic mixing in both the A and B-sites, there are a massive amount of possible ABO3 perovskites. In this paper, a ML model for the prediction of the TECs of AA'BB'O3 perovskites is produced and applied to millions of potential compositions resulting in reliable TEC predictions for 150 451 of the compositions.

Abstract
As a key structural parameter, phase depicts the arrangement of atoms in materials. Normally, a nanomaterial exists in its thermodynamically stable crystal phase. With the development of nanotechnology, nanomaterials with unconventional crystal phases, which rarely exist in their bulk counterparts, or amorphous phase have been prepared using carefully controlled reaction conditions. Together these methods are beginning to enable phase engineering of nanomaterials (PEN), i.e., the synthesis of nanomaterials with unconventional phases and the transformation between different phases, to obtain desired properties and functions. This Review summarizes the research progress in the field of PEN. First, we present representative strategies for the direct synthesis of unconventional phases and modulation of phase transformation in diverse kinds of nanomaterials. We cover the synthesis of nanomaterials ranging from metal nanostructures such as Au, Ag, Cu, Pd, and Ru, and their alloys; metal oxides, borides, and carbides; to transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and 2D layered materials. We review synthesis and growth methods ranging from wet-chemical reduction and seed-mediated epitaxial growth to chemical vapor deposition (CVD), high pressure phase transformation, and electron and ion-beam irradiation. After that, we summarize the significant influence of phase on the various properties of unconventional-phase nanomaterials. We also discuss the potential applications of the developed unconventional-phase nanomaterials in different areas including catalysis, electrochemical energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors), solar cells, optoelectronics, and sensing. Finally, we discuss existing challenges and future research directions in PEN.

Tailored synthesis of NdMn xFe 1-xO 3 perovskite nanoparticles with oxygen-vacancy defects for lithium-ion battery anodes. Heliyon 2023; 9:e21782. [PMID: 38034705 PMCID: PMC10682627 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e21782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 10/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, we synthesize nanostructured NdMnxFe1-xO3 perovskites using a facile method to produce materials for the high-working-efficiency anodes of Li-ion batteries. A series of characterization assessments (e.g., X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and electron microscopy) were conducted, and the results confirmed the efficacious partial replacement of Fe ions with Mn ions in the NdFeO3 perovskite structure, occurrence of both amorphous and crystalline structures, presence of oxygen vacancies (VO), and interconnection between nanoparticles. The possibility of Mn ion replacement significantly affects the size, amount of VO, and ratio of amorphous phase in NdMnxFe1-xO3 perovskites. The NdMnxFe1-xO3 perovskite with x = 0.3 presents a notable electrochemical performance, including low charge transfer resistance, durable Coulombic efficiency, first-rate capacity reservation, high pseudo-behavior, and elongated 150-cycle service life, whereas no discernible capacity deterioration is observed. The reversible capacity of the anode after the 150th-cylcle was 713 mAh g-1, which represents a high-capacity value. The outstanding electrochemical efficiency resulted from the optimum presence of VO, interconnection between the nanoparticles, and distinctive properties of the NdFeO3 perovskite. The interconnection between nanoparticles was advantageous for forming a large electrolyte-electrode contact area, improving Li-ion diffusion rates, and enhancing pseudocapacitive effect. The attributes of perovskite crystals, coexistence of Mn and Fe throughout the charge/discharge process, and optimum VO precluded the electrode devastation that caused the Li2O-phase decomposition catalysis, enabling favorable reversible Li storage.

Abstract
Ba0.9A0.1MnO3 (BM-A) and Ba0.9A0.1Mn0.7Cu0.3O3 (BMC-A) (A = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ce, La) perovskite-type mixed oxides were synthesised, characterised, and used for soot oxidation in simulated Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine exhaust conditions. The samples have been obtained by the sol-gel method in an aqueous medium and deeply characterised. The characterization results indicate that the partial substitution of Ba by A metal in BaMnO3 (BM) and BaMn0.7Cu0.3O3 (BMC) perovskites: (i) favours the hexagonal structure of perovskite; (ii) improves the reducibility and the oxygen desorption during Temperature-Programmed Desorption (O2-TPD) tests and, consequently, the oxygen mobility; (iii) mantains the amount of oxygen vacancies and of Mn(IV) and Mn(III) oxidation states, being Mn(IV) the main one; and (iv) for Ba0.9A0.1Mn0.7Cu0.3O3 (BMC-A) series, copper is partially incorporated into the structure. The soot conversion data reveal that Ba0.9La0.1Mn0.7Cu0.3O3 (BMC-La) is the most active catalyst in an inert (100% He) reaction atmosphere, as it presents the highest amount of copper on the surface, and that Ba0.9Ce0.1MnO3 (BM-Ce) is the best one if a low amount of O2 (1% O2 in He) is present, as it combines the highest emission of oxygen with the good redox properties of Ce(IV)/Ce(III) and Mn(IV)/Mn(III) pairs.

Abstract
3D ceramic architectures are captivating geometrical features with an immense demand in optics. In this work, an additive manufacturing (AM) approach for printing alkaline-earth perovskite 3D microarchitectures is developed. The approach enables custom-made photoresists suited for two-photon lithography, permitting the production of alkaline-earth perovskite (BaZrO3 , CaZrO3 , and SrZrO3 ) 3D structures shaped in the form of octet-truss lattices, gyroids, or inspired architectures like sodalite zeolite, and C60 buckyballs with micrometric and nanometric feature sizes. Alkaline-earth perovskite morphological, structural, and chemical characteristics are studied. The optical properties of such perovskite architectures are investigated using cathodoluminescence and wide-field photoluminescence emission to estimate the lifetime rate and defects in BaZrO3 , CaZrO3 , and SrZrO3 . From a broad perspective, this AM methodology facilitates the production of 3D-structured mixed oxides. These findings are the first steps toward dimensionally refined high-refractive-index ceramics for micro-optics and other terrains like (photo/electro)catalysis.

Abstract
Biomass chemical looping gasification (BCLG) gives a promising platform for cost-effective and low-polluting syngas production. To overcome the cumbersome process and poor dispersion of two-step synthesized synergistic oxygen carriers (OCs), NiO-LaFeO3 synergistic OCs were synthesized in one-step by sol-gel method with the found best Ni introduction amount of 0.5. The high lattice oxygen mobility and powerful oxidation capacity derived from the Ni-Fe synergistic effect made it perform better in the BCLG reaction. Due to the extraordinary stability of crystalline phase and oxygen activity, its reactivity did not suffer from any degradation during the 50 long-time redox cycles over 2750 min under the optimal working conditions of the ex-situ configuration, mutual mode and steam/biomass mass ratio of 5.0. The gas yield, carbon conversion, syngas selectivity and H2/CO ratio were constantly maintained around 1846.45 mL/g, 86.74%, 79.96% and 2.0, respectively. This study provides a feasible technical route for highly efficient and durable syngas production.

Abstract
Anisotropic and efficient transport of ions under external stimuli governs the operation and failure mechanisms of energy-conversion systems and microelectronics devices. However, fundamental understanding of ion hopping processes is impeded by the lack of atomically precise materials and probes that allow for the monitoring and control at the appropriate time- and length- scales. In this work, using in-situ transmission electron microscopy, we directly show that oxygen ion migration in vacancy ordered, semiconducting SrFeO2.5 epitaxial thin films can be guided to proceed through two distinctly different diffusion pathways, each resulting in different polymorphs of SrFeO2.75 with different ground electronic properties before reaching a fully oxidized, metallic SrFeO3 phase. The diffusion steps and reaction intermediates are revealed by means of ab-initio calculations. The principles of controlling oxygen diffusion pathways and reaction intermediates demonstrated here may advance the rational design of structurally ordered oxides for tailored applications and provide insights for developing devices with multiple states of regulation.

Abstract
A series of SrZrO3:xHo3+ (x = 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.09, and 0.11 mol) perovskite phosphors have been synthesized by using the sol-gel technique. The structural and optical characteristics of the prepared phosphors have been investigated through powder XRD, FT-IR, UV-visible diffuse reflectance, and photoluminescence analysis. The photoluminescence emission spectra showed a bright characteristic peak at 545 nm (5F4 + 5S2 → 5I8) under the 454 nm excitation, which exhibits emission in the green region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The emission intensity of the phosphors starts decreasing slowly beyond 3 mol% Ho3+ ions concentration due to concentration quenching, which is attributed to the dipole-dipole interaction between Ho3+ ions. The site symmetry of the Ho3+ ions has been studied by estimating the relative Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters (Ωλ, where λ = 2, 4, 6) from the photoluminescence excitation spectrum of the SrZrO3:0.03Ho3+ phosphor. The obtained findings suggest that the synthesized phosphors will be favorable for their bright green emission and thus, can be widely used for different optoelectronic applications.

Perovskite oxides have attracted widespread attention as photocatalysts for CO2 reduction by virtue of their high catalytic activity, compositional flexibility, bandgap adjustability, and good stability. In this review, the basic theory of photocatalysis and the mechanism of CO2 reduction over perovskite oxide are first introduced. Then, perovskite oxides' structures, properties, and preparations are presented. In detail, the research progress on perovskite oxides for photocatalytic CO2 reduction is discussed from five aspects: as a photocatalyst in its own right, metal cation doping at A and B sites of perovskite oxides, anion doping at O sites of perovskite oxides and oxygen vacancies, loading cocatalyst on perovskite oxides, and constructing heterojunction with other semiconductors. Finally, the development prospects of perovskite oxides for photocatalytic CO2 reduction are put forward. This article should serve as a useful guide for creating perovskite oxide-based photocatalysts that are more effective and reasonable.

Methane Catalytic Combustion under Lean Conditions over Pristine and Ir-Loaded La 1-xSr xMnO 3 Perovskites: Efficiency, Hysteresis, and Time-on-Stream and Thermal Aging Stabilities.

Abstract
The increasing use of natural gas as an efficient, reliable, affordable, and cleaner energy source, compared with other fossil fuels, has brought the catalytic CH4 complete oxidation reaction into the spotlight as a simple and economic way to control the amount of unconverted methane escaping into the atmosphere. CH4 emissions are a major contributor to the 'greenhouse effect', and therefore, they need to be effectively reduced. Catalytic CH4 oxidation is a promising method that can be used for this purpose. Detailed studies of the activity, oxidative thermal aging, and the time-on-stream (TOS) stability of pristine La1-xSrxMnO3 perovskites (LSXM; X = % substitution of La with Sr = 0, 30, 50 and 70%) and iridium-loaded Ir/La1-xSrxMnO3 (Ir/LSXM) perovskite catalysts were conducted in a temperature range of 400-970 °C to achieve complete methane oxidation under excess oxygen (lean) conditions. The effect of X on the properties of the perovskites, and thus, their catalytic performance during heating/cooling cycles, was studied using samples that were subjected to various pretreatment conditions in order to gain an in-depth understanding of the structure-activity/stability correlations. Large (up to ca. 300 °C in terms of T50) inverted volcano-type differences in catalytic activity were found as a function of X, with the most active catalysts being those where X = 0%, and the least active were those where X = 50%. Inverse hysteresis phenomena (steady-state rate multiplicities) were revealed in heating/cooling cycles under reaction conditions, the occurrence of which was found to depend strongly on the employed catalyst pre-treatment (pre-reduction or pre-oxidation), while their shape and the loop amplitude were found to depend on X and the presence of Ir. All findings were consistently interpreted, which involved a two-term mechanistic model that utilized the synergy of Eley-Rideal and Mars-van Krevelen kinetics.

Abstract
The electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are fundamental processes in a range of energy conversion devices such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries. ORR and OER both have significant activation barriers, which severely limit the overall performance of energy conversion devices that utilize ORR/OER. Meanwhile, ORR is another very important electrochemical reaction involving oxygen that has been widely investigated. ORR occurs in aqueous solutions via two pathways: the direct 4-electron reduction or 2-electron reduction pathways from O2 to water (H2O) or from O2 to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Noble metal electrocatalysts are often used to catalyze OER and ORR, despite the fact that noble metal electrocatalysts have certain intrinsic limitations, such as low storage. Thus, it is urgent to develop more active and stable low-cost electrocatalysts, especially for severe environments (e.g., acidic media). Theoretically, an ideal oxygen electrocatalyst should provide adequate binding to oxygen species. Transition metals not belonging to the platinum group metal-based oxides are a low-cost substance that could give a d orbital for oxygen species binding. As a result, transition metal oxides are regarded as a substitute for typical precious metal oxygen electrocatalysts. However, the development of oxide catalysts for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions still faces significant challenges, e.g., catalytic activity, stability, cost, and reaction mechanism. We discuss the fundamental principles underlying the design of oxide catalysts, including the influence of crystal structure, and electronic structure on their performance. We also discuss the challenges associated with developing oxide catalysts and the potential strategies to overcome these challenges.

Electrochemical investigation of hydroxyapatite-lanthanum strontium cobalt ferrite composites (HA-LSCF) for SARS-CoV-2 aptasensors. RSC Adv 2023; 13:20209-20216. [PMID: 37416913 PMCID: PMC10321058 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra01531a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The hydroxyapatite-lanthanum strontium cobalt ferrite (HA-LSCF) composite showed a good response on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) electrochemical aptasensor to detect SARS-CoV-2. SPCE/HA-LSCF with a thiolated aptamer has a strong affinity for the SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD protein. This occurs due to the binding of -SH to the HA-positive region. In the presence of LSCF, which is conductive, an increase in electron transfer from the redox system [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- occurs. The interaction of the aptamer with the RBD protein can be observed based on the decrease in the electron transfer process. As a result, the developed biosensor is highly sensitive to the SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD protein with a linear range of 0.125 to 2.0 ng mL-1, a detection limit of 0.012 ng mL-1, and a quantification limit of 0.040 ng mL-1. The analytical application of the aptasensor demonstrates its feasibility in the analysis of saliva or swab samples.
