Toward an Ideal Light Source for Indoor Photosynthesis: Broadband Red Emission in Zero-Dimensional Hafnium-Based Metal Halide (TPP)2HfCl6·4C2H3N:Sb3.

With suitable electron-phonon coupling strength, a near-unity broadband photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) can be achieved in organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides (OIHMHs) via self-trapped exciton (STE) emission. However, it is still challenging to obtain high-quality red emission from OIHMHs with a desirable emission wavelength and high chemical stability, which hinders their practical application in high-performance displays, plant-growth lighting, and biomedical imaging. Herein, a series of hafnium-based zero-dimensional (TPP)2HfCl6·4C2H3N (TPP: tetraphenylphosphonium) single crystals with different Sb3+ doping levels are synthesized. The Sb3+-doped (TPP)2HfCl6·4C2H3N shows dual-band red emission with a full width at half-maximum of 178 nm and a high PLQY of 91.09%. This broad dual-band emission originates from dopant-induced extrinsic free excitons and STEs. Furthermore, (TPP)2HfCl6·4C2H3N:Sb3+ was employed as a luminescence converter in a light-emitting diode (LED) for plant growth regulation. A correlated color temperature of 4055 K and a color rendering index of 82.13 were achieved upon excitation of the LED at 365 nm. These results provide fundamental perspectives on the emission behavior of Sb3+-doped OIHMHs and illustrate their promise for use in plant-growth lighting.

Enhancing Optical Properties of Zn-Mn Solid Solution Hybrid Halides for Wide Color Gamut Backlight Displays.

Hybrid metal halides display a range of optical properties and hold promise for various applications such as solid-state lighting, anti-counterfeiting measures, backlight displays, and X-ray detection. The incorporation of zinc into (C13H26N)2MnBr4 aims to enhance its structural rigidity and improve its narrow band green light emission properties. The resulting (C13H26N)2ZnBr4 compound exhibits an identical crystal structure to (C13H26N)2MnBr4, indicating the potential for a solid solution of varying Zn and Mn ratios within this structural framework. (C13H26N)2Zn0.2Mn0.8Br4 exhibits significantly enhanced properties, including a photoluminescence quantum yield of 92%, a minimum full width at half maximum of 43nm, and 85% retention of room temperature emission at 420K. Additionally, crystals of (C13H26N)2ZnCl4 and (C7H18N)2ZnX4 (X = Br, I) are synthesized, with (C7H18N)2ZnBr4 displaying luminescent color changes dependent on excitation. (C7H18N)2Zn0.2Mn0.8Br4 demonstrates reversible phase transitions and alterations in optical properties. A white light-emitting diode utilizing (C13H26N)2Zn0.2Mn0.8Br4 and commercial phosphors exhibited a color gamut of 112.2% of the National Television Standards Committee 1931 Standard. This investigation introduces a stable and highly efficient narrow-band green phosphor suitable for displays.

Study on tool wears in turning Al2219, unhybrid and hybrid metal matrix nano composites by CCD design of experiment

In this article, Aluminum (Al2219) as a matrix, and particles of n-B4C and MoS2 were chosen as reinforcements. By means of the stir casting technique, the unhybrid and hybrid nano metal matrix composites were prepared. The turning experiment was done through CCD design of experiment with TiN coated carbide insert using a Computer Numerically Controlled Lathe. Also, for turned inserts tool wear measurement was done using a Mitutoyo profile projector with digital readout. By ANOVA the significant contribution for tool wear of each parameter can be identified and the confirmation test is performed in sort to validate the tool wear results. Furthermore, the formation of chips during turning nano MMCs (unhybrid and hybrid) are studied for different feed rates ( f) and cutting speeds ( v) at 0.5 mm constant depth of cut. The outcome showed that both increases in cutting speed and feed rate increase the tool wear. For Al 2219, unhybrid and hybrid nano metal matrix composites feed rate is the important factor. The value of tool wear of the Al2219 matrix is minimal and for unhybrid nano composite is maximum. The leading wear mechanism in unhybrid nano composite is abrasion. Moreover, with the addition of 2%MoS2 in the hybrid nanocomposite the tool wears is decreased. The development of Build Up Edge (BUE) was seen on the flank face of the cutting tool for hybrid nanocomposite at 0.5 mm depth of cut, (v = 114.64 m/min) and (f = 0.441 mm/rev). The obtained % error among the modeled and experimental values is <5% and it is well within the limit. The analysis of chip formation was studied for nanocomposites at lower as well as higher feed rates, cutting speeds, and constant depth of cut during turning.

Molecular sieves hybrid metal–organic framework for efficient simultaneously capturing carbon dioxide and collecting water from air

Water scarcity and climate change associated with global warming are two common challenges facing humankind. The simultaneous removal of water and carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air has become a popular candidate strategy to address these challenges. In this paper, molecular sieve@MOF composites were synthesized in-situ for the first time by adding ZSM-5 and HZSM-5 during the preparation of Mg/DOBDC. A comprehensive review of the air capture CO2 and water harvesting properties of the novel composites was also presented. Primarily, the effects of molecular sieve category and ratio on the composite were systematically investigated. Subsequently, the crystal structure, morphological composition and textural properties of the composites were characterized. Finally, CO2/H2O co-adsorption performance, adsorption and desorption cycle stability and adsorption mechanism were investigated. The results demonstrated that the metal nodes of Mg/DOBDC interacted with the molecular sieve surface functional groups to increase the metal active sites and porosity. The obtained 0.5HZSM-5@Mg/DOBDC MOF showed the maximum CO2 uptake of 15.90 mmol/g (0.1 MPa, 25 °C), which was 3.66 times the amount of Mg/DOBDC.

Macroscopic Twisting of Chiral Metal Halide Single Crystals Driven by Thermo-Induced Topochemical Dehydration.

Dynamic twisting crystals, combining the features of dynamic crystals and twisting crystals, promise advanced applications in targeted drug delivery, biosensors, microrobots, and spiral optoelectronics. However, the determination of dynamic twisting crystals with specific directions remains a formidable challenge in practical applications. Herein, based on organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide (OIHMH) single crystals, we have realized the chirality-induced macroscopic twisting of single crystals driven by a thermo-induced topochemical dehydration reaction. These crystals exhibit molecular-chirality-induced twisting upon heating, along with reversals in their linear chiroptical circular dichroism and nonlinear chiroptical second harmonic generation circular dichroism. Such an induced twisting has been attributed to the alteration of the helical arrangement of chiral cation post-topochemical dehydration. The feasibility of tuning the macroscopic twisting of OIHMH single crystals and the switching in their linear and nonlinear chiroptical properties might open up new avenues for developing dynamic crystals for microactuating and optoelectronic applications.

Realizing Stable Luminescence in Antimony Doped Hybrid Tin(IV) Chloride toward Full Spectrum WLED and Anticounterfeiting Applications.

The outstanding optical properties empower Sb3+-doped zero-dimensional hybrid metal halides as cutting-edge luminescent materials. In this research, we present an efficient hybrid tin chloride, TEA2SnCl6:Sb3+ (TEA = tetraethylammonium), with broad dual emission bands peaking in the blue and orange regions that arise from the singlet and triplet state emissions of [SbCl5]2-, respectively. TEA2SnCl6:Sb3+ demonstrates a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 83.5% under 328 nm excitation, while 358 nm light induces an orange emission with a PLQY of 92.5% and a low thermal quenching behavior (73.9% at 423 K). Benefiting from the appealing luminescence properties of TEA2SnCl6:Sb3+, a full spectrum white light-emitting diode (WLED) device and an anticounterfeiting model were constructed, affirming the potential use of Sb3+-doped TEA2SnCl6 hybrid metal halide in versatile application fields.

Phase Transition of a Chiral Lead‐Free Hybrid Antimony(III) Halide Crystal

AbstractChiral organic–inorganic hybrid lead halides have recently attracted great attention due to their unique chirality and diverse functional properties. However, they suffer from highly toxic lead, while lead‐free chiral hybrid metal halides especially those with phase transitions remain sparse. Here, we report a new lead‐free chiral metal halide crystal [R‐3‐fluoropiperidinium]2SbCl5 ([R‐3‐FPP]2SbCl5), which crystalizes in chiral P212121 space group at 293 K and consists of chiral [3‐FPP]+ cations and one‐dimensional [SbCl5]n2− zigzag chains of corner‐sharing SbCl6 octahedrons. Notably, [R‐3‐FPP]2SbCl5 undergoes an above room temperature phase transition at 313 K, which can be attributed to the order‐disorder transition of both the organic [R‐3‐FPP]+ cation and inorganic [SbCl5]2− anions. In addition, [R‐3‐FPP]2SbCl5 also shows a broad band gap of 3.21 eV. This work promotes the exploration of chiral lead‐free hybrid lead halides with phase transitions.

Sn4+ Alloying and Chiral Incorporation into Tellurium Halides Triggering Tunable Luminescence Emission and Second-Harmonic Generation.

Recently, chiral organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides have attracted considerable interest as promising multifunctional materials, benefiting from their diverse structures and tunable photophysical properties. Herein, by introducing the chiral ligand methylbenzylamine (R-/S-MBA) and alloying Sn4+ cation, a series of tellurium-based halides R-/S-MBA2SnxTe1-xCl6 (x = 0, 0.125, 0.2, 0.365 and 0.54) with second-harmonic generation (SHG) effect and photoluminescence (PL) properties are successfully synthesized. Their optical bandgaps are determined to be 2.48-2.6 eV. Specifically, the introduction of chiral organic cations could break the structural symmetry and cause the tellurium halide to crystallize in the chiral space group. The incorporation of isovalent Sn4+ into the chiral host tellurium halides results in the increase in octahedral distortion, thereby promoting host intrinsic self-trapped emission that originates from the interconfigurational 3P0,1 → 1S0 transitions of Te4+. Consequently, the as-prepared Sn4+ doped halides, R-/S-MBA2SnxTe1-xCl6 (x = 0.365, 0.54), exhibit not only SHG response but also bright orange fluorescence. This study provides an effective strategy for designing chiral multifunctional materials.

Inorganic/organic sublattice roles in band edge photodynamics of isoelectronically substituted hybrid semiconductors

Zero-dimensional organic–inorganic hybrid metal halides are unique semiconductors with fruitful physical properties. Usually, only the inorganic polyhedrons dominate the band edge electronic and photophysical properties of such hybrid semiconductors, whereas the organic components mainly act as structure-stabilizing units. Herein, we study the electronic structures and photodynamics of isoelectronically Br-substituted (I) zero-dimensional organic–inorganic copper halide semiconductors (C9H14N)3Cu3(BrxI1−x)6. They are composed of both inorganic [Cu3(BrxI1−x)6]3− units and organic C9H14N+ skeletons. It is surprising to find that unlike usual organic–inorganic metal halides, although the heavily isoelectronic substitution of halogen atoms in the (C9H14N)3Cu3I6 crystal leads to significant shrinkage of the lattice, it does not remarkably alter the bandgap and luminescence peak owing to the site-projected density of states as revealed by the density functional theory calculation. The inorganic units dominate the valence band edge quantum states, whereas the organic skeletons dominate the conduction-band edge states. However, the isoelectronic substitution significantly lowers the symmetry of the crystal, and as a result, the quantum transition probability at the band edge increases first and decreases then with increasing concentration of substituting bromine atoms. The (C9H14N)3Cu3(BrxI1−x)6 crystals exhibit dual-band luminescence with large Stokes shift and near-unity quantum yield. It arises from the excitons trapped by two kinds of centers. The critical participation of the organic skeletons in the electronic structures and band edge photodynamics refresh our knowledge of their roles in the hybrid semiconductors.

Chirality and Solvent Coassist the Structural Evolution of Hybrid Manganese Chlorides with Second-Harmonic-Generation Response.

Chiral hybrid metal halides have shown great potential in optoelectronics, including for spin splitting, circularly polarized luminescence, and nonlinear-optical properties. However, despite their inherent inversion symmetry breaking, studies on second harmonic generation (SHG) of chiral hybrid manganese(II) halides remain relatively rare. Here, we report a series of structurally diverse hybrid manganese(II) chlorides: (Rac-MBA)2[MnCl4(H2O)2] (1), (S-MBA)2[MnCl4(H2O)2] (2), (S-MBA)2[Mn2Cl6(H2O)4] (3), and (S-MBA)[MnCl3(MeOH)] (4), where MBA = α-methylbenzylammonium, providing tunability of the coordination environment and structural dimensionality via fine control of the MBA cation chiral state and crystal preparation process, thereby enabling modulation of the SHG effects. Specifically, as the amount of methanol increases during the crystal preparation process, the structures of the chiral compounds vary from a 0D structure consisting of isolated octahedra to a 0D structure composed of octahedra dimers and to 1D chains of edge-sharing Mn-centered octahedra. In contrast, the structure of the racemic compound remains unchanged, independent of the crystal preparation pathway. The structural details, including the coordination environment, H-bonding, dimensionality, and lattice distortion, are described. The SHG response of the racemic compound derives only from the inorganic lattice, while the responses of the chiral compounds are attributed to the synergetic effect of the chiral cations and inorganic moieties.

Towards standalone commercial buildings in the Mediterranean climate using a hybrid metal hydride and battery energy storage system

Given the critical role of hybrid energy storage systems in the building sector for enhancing renewable energy reliability and integration, this study examines the techno-economic feasibility of adopting a dual-level energy storage system for a PV-driven commercial building in the Mediterranean climate. The proposed system encompasses both hydrogen metal hydride and battery storage units. Aimed at off-grid electrification, the optimal component sizing of the hybrid system is identified by establishing a statistical optimization framework using the response surface methodology. Dynamic simulations of the hybrid system are performed through a TRNSYS model coupled with a numerical code that simulates the metal hydride system. Regarding optimal net-zero solutions, it is shown that the share of the direct PV electricity supply to end-use fluctuates within a limited range for all scenarios, namely between 57.7 and 60.5 %, while the share of each storage system varies distinctively in each solution. The results indicate a striking difference between scenarios in terms of economic aspects; differences of $ 19,791 and $ 32,621 are observed between the minimum and maximum values of the initial investment and life cycle cost, respectively. The levelized cost of electricity varies between 0.354 and 0.403 $/kWh, in which the case having the lowest payback period (10.8 years) demonstrates the lowest levelized cost of electricity too. Furthermore, an inverse relationship between the levelized cost of hydrogen and production rate is observed; the lowest levelized cost and the highest annual production are achieved in the scenario with the lowest BESS capacity and the highest electrolyzer power and hydrogen storage volume, which are equal to 5.77 $/kg and 304.7 kg H2/yr, respectively.

Improvement of wear-resistant and thermal conductivity of aluminum matrix composite reinforced AL2O3/SiCw/Mg powder

Technological progress demands the development of materials that have special characteristics such as high strength, stiffness, light weight, and good thermal conductivity at a low price. The development of hybrid metal matrix composites is the most important field in advanced materials science engineering. This research determines about aluminum matrix composites (AMC) reinforced with alumina (Al2O3), Silicon carbide whisker (SiCw), and magnesium (Mg) addition. The matrix is made of 90 % pure aluminum powder, and commercially available reinforcing materials include Al2O3, SiCw, and Mg. Objectives include variation of reinforcement fraction and matrix, sintering holding temperature and time. The selection of the sample making process using powder technology followed by the sintering process at different temperatures namely 350, 450 and 550 °C with variations in holding time of 1, 2 and 3 hours. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of variations in the fraction of reinforcement and sintering treatment on the properties of wear resistance, hardness and thermal conductivity of aluminum matrix composites. The results showed that the composition ratio of reinforcement to aluminum in sintering treatment significantly affected the mechanical properties. The wear resistance of the material shows excellent performance, namely wear resistance of 0.000065 gr/s, hardness of 45.234 VHN and thermal conductivity of 184.855 Watt/m °C, at a reinforcement composition combination of 10 %AL2O3, 10 %SiCw and 20 %Mg and a sintering temperature of 550 °C. This indicates that the Aluminum matrix composite reinforced with Al2O3/(SiCw/Mg) is able to support the friction load due to its low wear rate, good hardness, and good thermal conductivity.

Characterizing the effects of SiC and Al2O3 on the mechanical properties of Al6082 hybrid metal matrix composites: An experimental and neural network approach

The use of advanced materials in the field of aerospace and automotive applications has led to use of metal matrix composites (MMC’s) due to their excellent mechanical properties. Aluminium metal matrix composite is one of the materials which can be strengthened by reinforcing it with hard ceramic particles. In the current work Al6082 matrix hybrid composites reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminium oxide (Al2O3) was developed by using stir casting technique. The weight percentage of SiC was varied from 0 wt.% to 8 wt.% and keeping 3 wt.% Al2O3 constants. The tensile, hardness, density and impact tests were conducted, and the results obtained revealed that the addition of silicon carbide and Al2O3 particles in Al6082 enhances the mechanical properties of the prepared hybrid composites. The artificial neural network (ANN) model, which was trained using a dataset consisting of experimental results, has effectively captured the correlation between the weight percentage (wt.%) of silicon carbide (SiC) and the mechanical properties of the composite material. Through the examination of this model, valuable insights can be obtained regarding the distinct contributions of SiC to the mechanical properties of Al6082.

Manganese doping in zinc based hybrid metal halides to realize highly stable efficient green emission and flexible radiation detection

Extensive studies have been conducted on hybrid metal halides due to their application in radiation detection, solid-state lighting, and solar cells. Here, we present an environmentally friendly zero-dimensional halide, (C9H15N3)ZnBr4, which crystallizes in the P21/c space group. This compound is highly thermally stable, and doping Mn2+ results in a bright green light emission, with an impressive internal quantum efficiency of 52.9 % and an external quantum efficiency of 45.9 % for (C9H15N3)Mn0.3Zn0.7Br4. Combining spectroscopic analysis with first-principles density functional theory (DFT), it is concluded that the high external quantum efficiency arises from efficient energy transfer from the organic component to the [MnBr4]2-. Notably, the (C9H15N3)Mn0.3Zn0.7Br4 luminescence intensity maintains 50 % of its room temperature level even at 400 K. Moreover, these doped powders display exceptional scintillation performance, higher than Bi4Ge3O12. Finally, the radioluminescence intensity of (C9H15N3)Mn0.3Zn0.7Br4@polydimethylsiloxane flexible films is about three times that of Bi4Ge3O12. These features position Mn:(C9H15N3)ZnBr4 as an ideal material for X-ray detection and an efficient green photoluminescent material.

Identifying Organic-Inorganic Interaction Sites Toward Emission Enhancement in Non-Hydrogen-Bonded Hybrid Perovskite via Pressure Engineering.

The interaction between organic and inorganic components in metal hybrid perovskites fundamentally determines the intrinsic optoelectronic performance. However, the underlying interaction sites have still remained elusive, especially for those non-hydrogen-bonded hybrid perovskites, thus largely impeding materials precise design with targeted properties. Herein, high pressure is utilized to elucidate the interaction mechanism between organic and inorganic components in the as-synthesized one-dimensional hybrid metal halide (DBU)PbBr3 (DBU = 1,8-diazabicyclo [5.4.0] undec-7-ene). The interaction sites are identified to be the N from DBU and the Br from inorganic framework by the indicative of enhanced Raman mode under high pressure. The change in interaction strength is indeed derived from the pressure modulation on both distance and spatial arrangement of the nearest Br and N, rather than traditional hydrogen-bonding effect. Furthermore, the enhanced interaction increased charge transfer, resulting in a cyan emission with photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of 86.6%. The enhanced cyan emission is particularly important for underwater communication due to the much less attenuation in water than at other wavelength emissions. This study provides deep insights into the underlying photophysical mechanism of non-hydrogen-bonded hybrid metal halides and is expected to impart innovative construction with superior performance.

A new zero-dimensional hybrid antimony halide of (C25H46N)2SbCl5 with dual-emission and high quantum-efficiency for light-emitting application

Zero-dimensional (0D) organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides (OIHMHs) have received extensive attention due to their excellent photoelectric properties. Herein, a new 0D OIHMH single crystal, (C25H46N)2SbCl5, has been synthesized by slow antisolvent diffusion. In this crystal structure, C25H46N+ (C25H46N+ = Cetyldimethylbenzylammonium cations) cations separated SbCl52− to form a 0D square pyramid structure. (C25H46N)2SbCl5 single crystals (SCs) manifest bright orange-yellow dual-emission bands at 472 and 616 nm, while having a high photoluminescent quantum yield of 97.5 %. The lifetime of high energy (HE) emission and low energy (LE) emission at room temperature is 9.73 ns and 4.61 μs, respectively. Based on lifetime differences and temperature-dependent spectra, the HE emission band is ascribed to singlet self-trapped excitons (STEs), while the LE emission band with a broad full width at half maxima of 136 nm can be attributed to triplet STEs. (C25H46N)2SbCl5 appeared anti-thermal quenching behavior. In accordance with the luminescence characteristics of (C25H46N)2SbCl5, a warm white light-emitting diode device was fabricated with the correlated color temperature of 3410 K, the relevant color coordinate of (0.41, 0.39) and the color rendering index of 95.1, demonstrating (C25H46N)2SbCl5 a promising phosphor for solid-state light-emitting application.

Effect of Self‐Incandescent Heating on Superconducting NbN Nanowire Yarn

AbstractA flexible superconducting yarn composed of twisted niobium nitride (NbN) nanofibrils is developed and exhibited a superconducting transition temperature that met the reported record of ≈17 K. NbN is sputter‐deposited onto a template of aligned single‐layer carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets and subsequently processed by post‐Joule heat annealing following the insertion of twists. Considering self‐Joule heating approaches the level of incandescent light emission, the melting, reflow, and recrystallization of the NbN layer around each CNT template occurred, considerably enhancing the macroscopic superconducting properties of the NbN nanofibrillar yarn, including the critical current density and critical magnetic field. Furthermore, the superconducting performance, which degrades as a result of mechanical damage to the internal structure under excessive stress such as bending, can be restored by the reflow of the NbN during this process. Considering the melting point of NbN is higher than 2800 K, the proposed incandescent light‐emission‐driven Joule self‐heating process is considered an effective method for improving the properties of CNT‐templated metal hybrid yarns.

Pressure-controlled free exciton and self-trapped exciton emission in quasi-one-dimensional hybrid lead bromides

Hybrid metal halides represent a novel type of semiconductor light emitters with intriguing excitonic emission properties, including free exciton emission and self-trapped exciton emission. Achieving precise control over these two excitonic emissions in hybrid metal halides is highly desired yet remains challenging. Here, the complete transformation from intrinsically broadband self-trapped exciton emission to distinctively sharp free exciton emission in a quasi-one-dimensional hybrid metal halide (C2H10N2)8[Pb4Br18]·6Br with a ribbon width of n = 4, is successfully achieved based on high-pressure method. During compression, pressure-induced phonon hardening continuously reduces exciton–phonon coupling, therefore suppressing excitonic localization and quenching the original self-trapped exciton emission. Notably, further compression triggers excitonic delocalization to induce intense free exciton emission, accompanied with reduced carrier effective masses and improved charge distribution. Controlled high-pressure investigations indicate that the ribbon width of n > 2 is necessary to realize excitonic delocalization and generate free exciton emissions in similar quasi-one-dimensional hybrid metal halides. This work presents an important photophysical process of excitonic transitions from self-trapped exciton emission to free exciton emission in quasi-one-dimensional hybrid metal halides without chemical regulation, promoting the rational synthesis of hybrid metal halides with desired excitonic emissions.
