Summary: In this study, BiVO4-based solid solutions, Bi0.5Y0.5VO4, were prepared using the MOF-derived method. Characterization of the samples revealed that Y sources facilitated the generation of tetragonal phase BiVO4, which played a crucial role in enhancing the photocatalytic overall water splitting property. Additionally, the deposition of metallic Pt particles as co-catalysts resulted in a decrease in the ratio of H-2:O-2, suggesting the emergence of an electric field shield effect to regulate the interfacial internal electric field further.

Summary: Sunlight-driven CO2 reduction to renewable fuels is a promising strategy in a circular economy. Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have been explored as light absorbers that can enhance CO2 reduction through surface modification. This study shows that dithiols can activate the QD surface for CO2 reduction and suppress the competing H2 evolution reaction. Furthermore, by immobilizing a co-catalyst, a longer dithiol can accelerate CO2 reduction. The findings suggest that engineering the particle's chemical environment with dithiol capping ligands can enhance CO2 reduction catalysis.

Summary: One of the advantageous means to improve photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE) kinetics is by regulating electronic structures of the active site through manipulating the local coordination. In this work, ZnIn2S4/Mo2TiC2 Schottky junctions are designed through interfacial local coordination, resulting in an established electronic unidirectional transport channel. The enhanced charge transfer and separation as well as optimized hydrogen adsorption energy in the ZnIn2S4/Mo2TiC2 photocatalyst contribute to its superior PHE rate under visible light, reaching 3.03 times that of the pristine ZnIn2S4. This study provides insights for preparing MXene-based Schottky catalysts to accelerate PHE kinetics.

Summary: This study focuses on efficient piezo-photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water splitting using one-dimensional nanorod-structured CdxZn1-xS solid solutions, simultaneously converting solar and vibration energy. Cd0.4Zn0.6S nanorods exhibit a prominently synergetic piezo-photocatalytic H-2 yield rate under visible light and ultrasound irradiation. The enhanced catalytic activity of Cd0.4Zn0.6S is attributed to strengthened charge separation by piezo-potential, increased strain sensitivity, and optimal combination of piezoelectricity and visible-light response. The research is expected to inspire a new design strategy for efficient renewable fuel production.

Summary: This review article discusses recent advances in rechargeable metal-CO2 batteries (MCBs), particularly Li,Na, K, Mg, and Al-based MCBs with nonaqueous electrolytes. These batteries capture CO2 during discharge and release it during charging, making them a sophisticated mode for CO2 fixation and energy generation. However, further research and development are needed to improve their reliability, sustainability, and safety. Challenges include overpotential and poor cyclability, which can be addressed with efficient cathode catalysts and suitable architectural designs. Additionally, electrolytes play a crucial role in safety and ionic transportation. This article provides a comprehensive review of recent research on these secondary MCBs, highlighting key aspects that affect their performance.

Summary: Perovskite quantum dots with good optical properties are hindered in practical applications due to their low stability against heat, water, oxygen, and light. In this study, CsPbBr3@glass was fabricated using melt-quenching and heat treatment. The encapsulation of CsPbBr3@glass with dense SiO2 and hydrophobic SiO2 layers improved its water resistance, thermal reversibility, and photostability. CsPbBr3@glass@ASG showed a preserved initial PL intensity of 100% after water resistance testing for seven weeks and continuous heating-cooling cycles. With a balance between optical properties and stability, CsPbBr3@glass@ASG has great potential for practical applications in optoelectronic devices in the future.

Summary: This paper analyzes the influence of pressure on electron-lattice interactions in the 5d excited states of Ce3+ and Eu2+ in the AlN host. The results show that pressure has different effects on the optical properties of Eu2+ and Ce3+. The experimental data demonstrate that the displacement effect of pressure on Eu2+ is minimal, while Ce3+ shows a significant pressure-induced redshift. These findings highlight the importance of specific central ions in the lattice relaxation process.
