Bulk oxyfluoride glasses doped with Ag nanoclusters have been prepared using the melt quenching technique. When pumped in the absorption band of Ag nanoclusters between 300 to 500 nm, these glasses emit a very broad luminescence band covering all the visible range with a weak tail extending into the near infrared. The maximum of the luminescence band and its color shifts to the blue with a shortening of the excitation wavelength and an increasing ratio of oxide to fluoride components, resulting in white color luminescence at a particular ratio of oxide to fluoride; with a quantum yield above 20%.

Mixed-anion compounds have recently attracted attention as solid-state materials that exhibit properties unattainable with those of their single-anion counterparts. However, the use of mixed-anion compounds to control the morphology and engineer the crystal facets of electrocatalysts has been limited because their synthesis method is still immature. This study explored the electrocatalytic properties of a Pb-Fe oxyfluoride, PbFeOF, with a layered perovskite structure for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and compared its properties in detail with those of a bulk-type cubic three-dimensional (3D) perovskite, PbFeOF.

The demand for high-performance lithium-ion batteries and thus efficient cathode materials is steadily increasing. In addition to a high energy density and long lifetime, these should also be cost-effective and environmentally benign. Manganese-based materials have particular potential because manganese is available in sufficient quantities and can be supplied at a comparatively low cost.

Thanks to their high initial electrochemical properties and broad compositional flexibility, lithium-rich disordered rocksalt cathode-active materials including high-performance manganese-only materials appear as a potential replacement to the cobalt-based current market leader "NMC" material. The main issue with these materials is their lack of stability. However, recent works have identified bulk fluorination as a potential solution to stabilize these compounds.

Lithium-excess, cation-disordered rocksalt (DRX) materials have been subject to intense scrutiny and development in recent years as potential cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. Despite their compositional flexibility and high initial capacity, they suffer from poorly understood parasitic degradation reactions at the cathode-electrolyte interface. These interfacial degradation reactions deteriorate both the DRX material and electrolyte, ultimately leading to capacity fade and voltage hysteresis during cycling.

Solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is a potential technique to efficiently convert CO greenhouse gas into valuable fuels. Thus, there is significant interest in developing highly active and stable electrocatalysts for the CO reduction reaction (CORR). Herein, a Ni and F co-doping strategy is proposed to facilitate the exsolution reaction and form a new cathode, Ni-Fe alloy nanoparticles embedded in ceramic SrFeMoO (SFM) doped with fluorine.
