Readily tuneable porosity and redox properties of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) result in highly customizable photocatalysts featuring extended electronic delocalization. However, fast charge recombination in COFs severely limits their photocatalytic activities. Herein a new mode of COF photocatalyst design strategy to introduce systematic trap states is programmed, which aids the formation and

The emerging process of CO2 capture and sequestration will likely require large volumes of caustic. The fossil fuel demand and carbon footprint of transporting liquid caustic is self-defeating, and hence, there is a need for energy-efficient, on-site caustic production for carbon capture projects. Caustic production is dominated by the well-established “chlor-alkali” processes. This process requires

In surveying an extensive library of 4,375 hypothetical Na-based Argyrodites, we underscore the value of computational screening, noting that no Na-based Argyrodite solid-state electrolyte has been successfully synthesized. We introduce a robust approach using density functional theory (DFT) calculations to identify thermodynamically and electrochemically stable candidates. By evaluating energy above

Graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been extensively studied as a non-metallic catalyst for photocatalytic reduction of CO2. However, its efficiency and selectivity in CO2 reduction still require further enhancement. In this study, we have incorporated the silicate mineral tourmaline, known for its spontaneous polarization properties, into g-C3N4 with nitrogen defects. The novel composite catalyst

Tin halide perovskites are promising for optoelectronics, although their sensitivity to ambient conditions due to Sn(II) oxidation presents a challenge. Encapsulation techniques can mitigate degradation and facilitate advanced studies of the intrinsic properties. To study and improve the ambient stability of CsSnBr3 and CsSnI3 nanocrystal (NC) thin films, we explored various encapsulation methods:
