Summary: In this study, the high-pressure structural, magnetic and electrical transport characteristics of CrBr3 were investigated using various techniques. The results showed that CrBr3 underwent structural, electronic and magnetic transitions under different pressure conditions. The reversibility of these transitions was observed upon decompression. This systematic high-pressure investigation provides insights into the potential applications of CrBr3 in spintronics, magnetic and electronic devices, and improves our understanding of the physicochemical behaviors of 2D magnetic materials.

Summary: In most europium compounds, Eu atoms are in the divalent oxidation state and have a high effective magnetic moment due to the isoelectronic relationship between Eu2+ and Gd3+. However, trivalent intermetallic Eu compounds are extremely rare, with less than 20 examples known in the literature. This mini-review provides a summary of the known binary and ternary Eu compounds, highlighting their crystal-chemical characteristics, magnetic properties, Eu-151 Mossbauer spectroscopic behavior, and valence phase transitions.

Summary: We report the synthesis and characterization of a new quaternary heteroanionic chalcogenide phase, Ba3GeTeS4. The crystal structure consists of Ba, Ge, Te, and S atoms, and forms zero-dimensional [GeS4](4)(-) anionic units. The compound exhibits semiconducting nature with a direct bandgap of 2.5(2) eV and has a low thermal conductivity of around 0.46 W/mK at 723 K. Theoretical calculations suggest that the hole-doped Ba3GeTeS4 sample has a high thermoelectric figure of merit.

Summary: The study finds that Pb9Cu(PO4)(6)O crystals exhibit high insulating and optical transparent properties, ruling out the presence of superconductivity. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show the characteristic of a non-magnetic insulator, along with a small ferromagnetic component possibly originating from Cu-rich clusters in the structure.

Summary: Single crystals of completely ordered variant of YNi3Al9 compound were grown and its crystal structure was determined. The growth of large single crystals suggests a possible existence of an equilibrium region on the phase diagram where the compound is in equilibrium with liquid. The investigation also showed a trend towards more ordered structures in flux grown samples and more disordered ones in arc melted samples.

Summary: The oxyseleide Sm3GaSe5O, prepared through a reaction between Sm2O3, Sm, Ga2Se3, and Se at a high temperature, exhibits a newly discovered monoclinic crystal structure. The most remarkable feature of this structure is the presence of GaSe5 trigonal bipyramids, which have not been seen before. Optical measurements show that it has a narrower band gap compared to other oxychalcogenides.

Summary: The rare-earth chalcogenide iodides RE (3)(Ge1-x Si x )(2)S8I (RE = La, Ce,and Pr) and Ce3Si2(S1-y Se y )(8)I were synthesized successfully. Complete solid solutions and phase-pure samples were obtained for all series, with smooth evolution of cell parameters. The substitution of Si for Ge atoms in RE (3)(Ge1-x Si x )(2)S(8)I resulted in complete disorder of the tetrel atoms, while the substitution of Se for S atoms in Ce3Si2(S1-y Se y )(8)I occurred with preferential occupation of Se atoms. The optical band gaps increased slightly or negligibly upon the substitutions in RE (3)(Ge1-x Si x )(2)S8I and dramatically decreased from 2.8 to 1.9 eV in Ce3Si2(S1-y Se y )(8)I. The photoluminescence emission shifted slightly to blue-green or significantly to green upon the substitutions, depending on the concentrations of Ge or Se. The photoluminescence intensity and lifetime tended to decrease with increasing concentration of Ge or Se. The activation energy for thermal quenching in Ce3Si2S8I was determined to be 0.68 eV.

Summary: An efficient method for phosphate removal from wastewater is urgently needed due to the environmental issue caused by excessive phosphorus. In this study, calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-LDHs) and six amino acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-amino acid-LDHs) were prepared and compared for their phosphate adsorption performance. L-Aspartic acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-Asp-LDHs) exhibited the highest phosphate adsorption capacity and faster removal rate compared to CaAl-LDHs. The phosphate adsorption mechanism on CaAl-Asp-LDHs involved electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonds, complexation, and ion exchange. This environmentally friendly material shows promising potential for efficient phosphate removal from aquatic environments.

Summary: Studying the diffusion properties of hydrogen is important for designing new proton conductors. In the past, the chemical diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in proton conductors was usually obtained through a manual calculation method, resulting in difficulty in controlling the calculation accuracy. To address this issue, a mathematical algorithm and C language computer program were developed to calculate the chemical diffusion coefficient based on Fick's second law and Romberg numerical integral. The algorithm showed high precision and powerful computing function, and has the potential to replace the manual calculation method in calculating the chemical diffusion coefficient for hydrogen in proton conductors.
