Article Abstract
Strontium titanate (STO) is a well-known oxide used in a wide variety of applications due to its excellent stability and optoelectronic properties. However, its integration in photoelectrocatalytic devices is limited by the lack of fast and scalable methods to produce robust films at a low temperature and atmospheric pressure. Herein, we report an atmospheric pressure plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (AP-PECVD) approach for the synthesis of STO crystalline films and their applications for photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion. The film crystallinity, which plays a determinant role in the photoelectrochemical performance, was linked to the selected strontium precursor and injection method. Through thermal stability studies of the precursors [Sr(dpm), Sr(ipo), Sr(acac), and Ti(ipo)] and analysis of the solution droplet size, it was demonstrated that the closer thermal decomposition behavior and superior miscibility of the Sr(dpm) and Ti(ipo) precursors led to more homogeneous and crystalline films with the highest photoelectrochemical performance (16.5 μA cm at 1.23 V vs RHE under 100 mW cm), which can be further improved by a factor of 3.4 using thermal annealing at 500 °C. Evidence of the impact of a strontium precursor on the properties of STO films is provided through thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive system, UV-vis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, HIM-SIMS, and photoelectrochemical analysis.

The coordination chemistry of the planar, doubly π-extended bipyridine analog, 6,6',7,7'-biphenanthridine (p-biphe), is presented. The phenanthridine units in p-biphe are fused together at the 6- and 7- positions, and the resulting rigid ligand is compared with the more flexible parent "biphe" fused only at the 6-positions. p-Biphe is intensely fluorescent in solution with a much higher quantum yield, but, unlike biphe, at 77 K the fluorescence is not accompanied by any significant phosphorescence.

Inorganic halide perovskites have been the subject of intensive research for their unique properties. Most current research focuses on halide ion exchange to modify the luminescence band gap and optical features. They are obtained mainly in colloids or thin layers, resulting in small grains with a narrow distribution.

The synergistic effect of various ions with optical properties is an important method to regulate the Er ion upconversion luminescence process. However, the energy processes between them are complicated and difficult to separate, and it is challenging to clarify the results of each process when multiple ions are co-doped. Herein, a series of NaYF:Er were synthesized by the low-temperature combustion method, and the luminescence color of Er ions was modulated by doping Yb ions and Tm ions.

Accurate thermodynamic calculations for aluminum alkyls require proper treatment of low-frequency vibrations poorly described by the harmonic approximation (HA). Here, we present a systematic investigation of hindered rotation and out-of-plane bending in aluminum trichloride (ATC) and its methyl derivatives, employing advanced computational methods to perform anharmonic entropy corrections, such as torsional eigenvalue summation (TES), the extended two-dimensional torsion method (E2DT), the multi-structural approximation with torsional anharmonicity (MS-T), and Fourier grid Hamiltonian (FGH). Our results reveal distinct structure-dependent behaviors: monomers exhibit near-free methyl rotations where the HA overestimates entropy by 20-30 J K mol, while dimers show more hindered rotations adequately described by the HA around room temperature.

In this study, potato slices were fried in four different vegetable oils (corn, olive, palm olein, and sunflower) to investigate how oil type influences the characteristics of potato chips. The diffusion coefficient of oils was attempted to be correlated with the final moisture, oil uptake, and textural parameters of potato chips. The diffusion coefficients were determined using two approaches.
