Article Abstract
Chalcohalides, combining the structural and property advantages of chalcogenides and halides, have been demonstrated to be a promising system for the design of advanced photoelectric functional materials. Herein, a new chalcohalide compound, CsSiSeCl, has been rationally designed by introducing a nonlinear optical (NLO)-active [SiSe] T2-supertetrahedral unit into a halide system and synthesized experimentally by the flux method with CsCl as the flux. The compound is composed of [CsSeCl] polyhedral, [CsSe] octahedral, and [SiSe] T2-supertetrahedral units. To the best of our knowledge, the [CsSeCl] mixed anionic unit appears for the first time in the compound, and the rare [SiSe] T2-supertetrahedral unit has been demonstrated to be a potential NLO-active unit for the design of infrared NLO materials with balanced optical properties. The theoretical calculations uncovered that the strong orbital hybridization between Si-3, Se-4 and Cl-3 orbitals results in a wide band gap of 3.075 eV in the title compound. The results enrich the structural diversity of chalcohalide compounds and provide valuable insights into the design of wide band gap selenides.

The incorporation of transitional elements into silicon or germanium-based semiconductor clusters not only notably improves their structural stability but also endows them with unprecedented multifunctionalities. In this work, the structural, vibrational, and electronic properties for copper-doped silicon and germanium cation clusters Cu (X = Si or Ge, = 6-16) are systematically investigated. The ground-state structures are identified using the PBE0 and mPW2PLYP method combined with a global search technique.

Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration necessitates innovative approaches to transform CO into valuable compounds utilizing solar energy. The photocatalytic CO reduction reaction (PC CRR) offers a sustainable solution, yet wide band gaps, rapid electron-hole recombination, and poor CO adsorption capacity limit traditional metal oxide semiconductors for the PC CRR. This review systematically evaluates recent engineering advances in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as efficient photocatalysts for the PC CRR.

Phosphors, as the crucial material of phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (pc-WLEDs), have played an essential role in improving luminescent efficiency and regulating color rendering index (CRI). Hence, we have successfully synthesized a novel Eu doped Sr(AlO)(WO) (SAWO) green phosphor for the first time using the solid-state reaction, as well as systematically investigated its phase and crystal structure, luminescent properties, and thermal stability. The SAWO:x mol%Eu (0.

Infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals are crucial for mid-IR lasers, yet their intrinsic narrow band gaps cause low laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDTs) and detrimental two-photon absorption, thus limiting their widespread application. Herein, a synergistic strategy involving d-orbital exclusion and polarization motif construction is employed to synthesize novel chalcogenide SrZnSiS by introducing [SiS] and [ZnS] tetrahedral polarization subunits. Performance evaluation demonstrates that SrZnSiS breaks through the "4.

Background: Entropy-Driven Circuits (EDC), distinguished by their spontaneous operation and absence of enzymatic reactions, represent a superior strategy for integration with CRISPR/Cas systems, as they obviate the potential for interference among various enzymes during the process of DNA amplification and CRISPR/Cas system integration. Due to the wide band gap of TiO, its response to visible light is limited, and owing to its high crystallinity and exceptionally stable crystal lattice, the charge transfer (CT) process in TiO is suboptimal.
Results: In this study, lychee-like Fe-TiO was firstly prepared to serve as Raman enhanced substrate, facilitating exciton capture and separation to exhibit an excellent Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) performance.
