Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a versatile green oxidant with wide-ranging applications. In this study, a bismuth ion (Bi3+)-gradient-doped indium sulfide (In2S3) photocatalyst with abundant sulfur vacancies (Vs) was successfully prepared via a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-assisted hydrothermal method combined with solid-state grinding. The synergy of Bi3+ doping and Vs narrows the bandgap and constructs a built-in electric field for directional carrier transport, enabling the catalyst to achieve a H2O2 production rate of 784.35 μmol g−1 h−1 under visible light (λ ≥ 420 nm). This work establishes a novel paradigm for designing high-performance sulfide photocatalysts.

We investigated charge transfer in CH3NH3Pb(IxBr1-x)3 (MAPb(I1-xBrx)3) films using near-field heterodyne transient grating (NF-HD-TG) spectroscopy. Faster recombination of holes in the FTO and electrons trapped in SnO2, which is used as the electron transport layer (ETL), indicates enhanced hole injection. Br-rich films showed enhanced charge transfer, explaining higher open circuit voltage (Voc) in MAPbBr3 via efficient charge separation.

The use of C4F7N and C6F12O as SF6 alternatives in gas-insulated switchgear generates toxic fluorocarbons (C2F4, CF4, and C2F6). To detect them, we investigated transition metal (Co, Cu, Pd, Pt)-doped CdCl2 monolayers using DFT. Our results show that Co, Pd, and Pt dopants enable strong chemical adsorption of C2F4. The Co-CdCl2 system shows high sensitivity to all three gases, while Pd-CdCl2 and Pt-CdCl2 are highly sensitive to C2F4. At room temperature, Co-CdCl2 and Pd-CdCl2 exhibit excellent detection capability for C2F4 with suitable desorption times. These findings support the design of advanced sensors for selective gas monitoring.

Spin-decoupled metasurfaces can flexibly manipulate circularly polarized electromagnetic waves. Here, a low-absorption dual-chirality metasurface (LADCM) is proposed, which enables polarization-frequency multiplexed wavefront manipulation for circularly polarized waves. The proposed meta-atom realizes polarization-frequency independent phase control with full 360° coverage and high co-polarized reflection efficiency by individually shifting the chiral resonant frequencies of orthogonal circular polarizations. For validation, LADCM is engineered to realize frequency-modulated polarization continuous rotation and polarization-frequency multiplexed holographic encryption and camouflage. Both simulation and measurement results validate the versatile wavefront manipulation capabilities of the LADCM, showing promising prospects in imaging technique, holographic encryption and information security.

Herein, a novel polyaniline (PANI)-doped polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) /carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) is successfully fabricated through a facile freeze-thaw method. The abundant polar groups and high surface area of PANI enhance ion adsorption and transport, significantly improving the ionic conductivity. The optimal PANI content (0.10 g) yields a conductivity of 223.6 mS cm−1, greatly exceeding the undoped GPE (133.3 mS cm−1). A flexible supercapacitor built with this GPE demonstrates a high energy density of 23.11 Wh kg−1 at 800 W kg−1, showing great promise for high-performance flexible devices.

The gas phase enthalpies of formation of parent molecules, porphin and calix[4]pyrrole, were determined using high-level G4 and DLPNO-CCSD(T1) methods and these values were used as reference values for predicting the enthalpies of formation of porphyrins and calix[4]pyrroles. Calculations for the remaining compounds were performed using the revDSD-PBEP86-D4 method which provides a good balance between accuracy and computational cost. The solid-phase enthalpies of formation were obtained using the enthalpies of sublimation evaluated from their correlation with the descriptors of the molecular electrostatic potential. The calculated results were employed to resolve contradictions in the available experimental data.

The applicability of novel fluorescent benzanthrone dyes for monitoring changes in lipid bilayer physicochemical properties was evaluated using fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. The incorporation of anionic cardiolipin (CL) or cholesterol (Chol) into phosphatidylcholine (PC) membranes significantly modulates dye binding, emission maxima, and quantum yields, reflecting benzanthrones' sensitivity to variations in bilayer polarity, packing, and hydration. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the localization of benzanthrone dyes within the lipid bilayer depends on membrane composition. These findings enhance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying benzanthrone dye–membrane interactions and provide valuable insights for the design of new fluorescent probes for membrane research.

Polymer-based solid electrolytes (PSEs) are promising candidates for all-solid-state lithium batteries owing to their stability and flexibility. A PSE was prepared via photopolymerization using the crosslinking monomer ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate (ETPTA) and expanded illite (EI) filler. EI was selected owing to its eco-friendly, low cost, and excellent thermal and mechanical stability. The PSE containing 4 wt% EI exhibited the highest ionic conductivity and superior interfacial compatibility. The Li/LFP cell delivered a discharge capacity of 173.9 mA h g−1 at 0.1C and a Coulombic efficiency of 99%, demonstrating the potential of EI for enhancing PSE performance.

The high surface area and tunable electronic characteristics of 2D layered tin sulfide (SnS) materials make them promise for gas sensing applications. Here, potassium-intercalated SnS (K-SnS) nanorods prepared for the nitrous oxide (N2O) detection. Rietveld refinement confirms structural changes, and Kelvin probe force microscopy revealed tuning of work function, suggesting a strong K-SnS interaction. Chemi-resistive measurements showed that K-SnS was more sensitive than pristine SnS, which was explained by effective charge transfer. The suggested sensing method shows that K-SnS is a good option for detecting N2O at room temperature.

Molecular dynamics in pure water and aqueous salt solutions remain incompletely understood, partly due to apparent contradictions between results from different spectroscopic techniques. We resolve these apparent contradictions by accounting for orientational cross-correlations of neighboring molecules, through detailed comparison of light scattering and dielectric spectroscopy data for pure water and aqueous lithium chloride solutions. Our results suggest that, in the absence of cross correlation contributions, the spectral shape of structural relaxation is concentration- and temperature-independent, contradicting the common idea that relaxation in such systems is composed of slow hydration- and fast bulk-like water modes.
