Article Abstract
Bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) is a highly promising material for photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, owing to its distinctive hierarchical and band structures. However, the poor photo-oxidation capability and fast recombination of photogenerated carriers constrain the application potential of BiOI. Introducing surface defects offers a compelling strategy for enhancing the photocatalytic performance. In this study, we develop BiOIF solid solutions with optimal halogen vacancies, displaying excellent photodegradation efficiency for hazardous pollutants such as phenol, ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, and rhodamine B. Their photodegradation rates are 6.6, 25.1, 40.9, and 7.2 times higher than those of BiOI, respectively. The improved catalytic activity is primarily due to the appropriate band structure regulated by the solid solution of BiOF and BiOI, along with the favorable surface atomic state modified by halogen vacancies, which promotes charge separation and inhibits photogenerated carrier recombination. This study reveals the beneficial impact of halogen vacancies on photocatalytic performance and provides valuable insights into designing efficient and versatile photocatalysts.

Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) have shown great potential in lighting and display fields due to their excellent optical properties. However, their low red emission efficiency and poor environmental stability severely limit their practical applications. In this study, red-emitting YO-modified CsPbBrI PQD glass was prepared by high-temperature melt quenching and heat treatment methods with high luminescence and stability.

Surface reconstruction in electroluminescent nanocrystals (NCs) requires a delicate balance between defect passivation and preserving lattice integrity. The structural damage is exacerbated in soft-lattice perovskite systems by the conventional ligand exchange process. Herein, a surface compensation paradigm is presented employing quaternary phosphonium iodides that synergistically repair halogen vacancies and stabilize the surface without perturbing the ionic lattice.

The global energy crisis and unsustainable reliance on fossil fuels make it particularly urgent to develop efficient renewable energy storage solutions. Aqueous zinc-air batteries (ZABs) have become extremely promising candidates due to their low cost, abundant surface resources, inherent safety, and high theoretical energy density. This study explores the feasibility of using seawater as an electrolyte for ZABs, with the aim to reduce costs and alleviate competition for limited freshwater resources.

Constructing heterogeneous halogen-free catalysts featuring efficiently activated CO and epoxides for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates via an atom-economical route is significant but remains a big challenge. In this work, we develop an atmosphere-assisted strategy for preparing mesoporous CeO nanorods with tunable oxygen vacancy cluster concentrations, which boosts the performance of CO cycloaddition. Pair distribution function (PDF) analysis elucidates that oxygen vacancy clusters regulate the dynamic equilibrium of the multiscale structure of CeO via a synergistic "compression-expansion" mechanism.
