Summary: Perovskite single-crystal thin films (SCTFs) are a significant research hotspot in the field of optoelectronic devices due to their low defect state density, long carrier diffusion length, and high environmental stability. However, the large-area and high-throughput preparation of perovskite SCTFs faces challenges in reducing surface defects and manufacturing high-performance devices. This review focuses on the development of large-area, controlled thickness, and high-quality perovskite SCTFs, including the mechanism and key factors affecting the nucleation and crystallization process, methods of preparation, surface engineering, applications in various devices, and opportunities and challenges in commercialization.

Summary: We predict and realize a new magnetic and semiconducting material, MnSnN2, through combinatorial sputtering of thin films. MnSnN2 exhibits a wide composition tolerance, with a single-phase region of 20% < Mn/(Mn + Sn) < 65%. The material shows a wurtzite-like crystal structure with cation disorder and has an optical absorption onset of 1 eV, consistent with the computationally predicted 1.2 eV bandgap. Resistivity and Hall effect measurements confirm the semiconducting nature of MnSnN2 and reveal complex charge transport mechanisms. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show a low-temperature magnetic ordering transition and strong antiferromagnetic correlations in MnSnN2, contrasting with previous studies on cation-ordered MnSiN2 and MnGeN2.

Summary: The impact of process and composition parameters of inorganic aluminosilicate gels on the particle size of zeolite LTA was investigated and characterized through multiple techniques. Narrow crystallization domain of zeolite LTA was found with slight composition changes leading to the crystallization of other zeolite phases without significant decrease in LTA particle size. Increasing the Si/Al ratio of the synthesis gel resulted in the crystallization of a second population of nanosized FAU/EMT crystals, which coexist with LTA in the same particle.

Summary: The coherent distribution of an electronic excitation over multiple organic molecules in the solid state, known as excited-state delocalization, plays a crucial role in processes like singlet fission. However, experiments studying the influence of excited-state delocalization on singlet fission have been challenging due to the difficulty of measuring it and accessing the optically dark triplet-pair state, which is an important intermediate in singlet fission. By altering the growth conditions, researchers demonstrate that the emission from the triplet-pair state is observable in films with low growth rates of the singlet fission material, indicating a correlation between luminescence and higher excited-state delocalization.

Summary: A mesoporous silica-based solid acid with high surface area, large pore size, and moderate acid amount was synthesized through a one-step reverse-phase microemulsion method. The acid catalyst introduced 3-sulfopropyl as the acidic sites, resulting in a high surface silicon exposure and plenty of active groups. A novel strategy of waste to value was used to remove acetaldehyde from ethanol, converting it to a safer chemical of acetal with a pleasant odor. The remaining acetaldehyde could be controlled to a very low and safer level with a wide range of initial concentration.

Summary: In this study, a novel technique was developed to fabricate Zr-MOF membranes with excellent performance by concurrently regulating crystallographic orientation and thickness. Uniform triangular-shaped UiO-66 nanosheet seeds with a thickness of 40 nm were prepared using an anisotropic etching strategy. Through confined counter-diffusion-assisted epitaxial growth, highly (111)-oriented UiO-66 membranes with a thickness of 165 nm were achieved. These membranes exhibited unprecedented CO2 permeance (2070 GPU) and high CO2/N-2 selectivity (35.4), surpassing the performance limits of state-of-the-art polycrystalline MOF membranes. Additionally, highly (111)-oriented NH2-UiO-66 membranes with a thickness of 180 nm were prepared, showing superb H-2/CO2 separation performance with H-2 permeance of 1230 GPU and H-2/CO2 selectivity of 41.3.

Summary: A vacuum-assisted thermal bonding method was proposed for the covalent coupling of beta-cyclodextrin (CD-CSP), hexamethylene diisocyanate cross-linked beta-CD (HDI-CSP) and 3, 5-dimethylphenyl isocyanate modified beta-CD (DMPI-CSP) onto isocyanate silane modified silica gel. The method avoided side reactions under vacuum conditions and achieved optimal temperature and time of 160 degrees C and 3 h. The three CSPs exhibited good chromatographic performance, with CD-CSP achieving separation of all 7 flavanones enantiomers and HDI-CSP showing good separation performance for triazoles enantiomers with one chiral center.

Summary: A zeolitic octahedral metal oxide based on niobate (ZOMO-NbOx) with high acidity was synthesized and used as an efficient catalyst for the degradation of fluoroquinolone antibiotics under visible light. The presence of higher acidity promoted the adsorption of ciprofloxacin (CIP) on ZOMO-NbOx, expanding its light-absorbing range from UV to visible light through ligand to metal charge transfer. ZOMO-NbOx exhibited significantly higher catalytic activity compared to commercial Nb2O5, with a TOF value 53 times higher, and remained stable after multiple reuses. It also demonstrated good resistance to inorganic ions and humic acids, and effectively degraded CIP in various natural freshwater bodies. The intermediate products were identified and degradation pathways were proposed.

Summary: The effect of the silicon-to-aluminum ratio (SAR) of SSZ-13 seeds on the preparation of SSZ-13 membranes was investigated. The study found that the growth of the membrane depended on the SAR of the seeds, with low SAR seeds resulting in epitaxial growth and high SAR seeds leading to dissolution-recrystallization growth. Membranes synthesized with low-SAR seeds showed good compactness, high separation performance, and reproducibility.

Summary: Exploring unique single atoms as catalytic sites is important but challenging for improving photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Gallium (Ga) single atoms decorated on CdSe quantum dots (QDs) effectively enhance the CO evolution rate to 16.1 mu mol h(-1) with a selectivity of 90.4% over 30 hours, surpassing bare CdSe QDs. The mechanism involves efficient separation of electron-hole pairs and enhanced CO2 adsorption ability due to Ga single atoms, as well as effective electron trapping and suppression of H-2 evolution by surface Ga catalytic sites.
