Details of the synthesis, physical and spectroscopic characterization, and thermal decomposition of tris(benzylthiolato)bismuth, (BnS)(3)Bi, Bn = CH(2)C(6)H(5), are presented. Results from pyrolysis of (BnS)(3)Bi demonstrate that this compound is a convenient precursor to phase-pure, polycrystalline Bi(2)S(3) with low carbon and hydrogen contamination under mild thermal conditions (ca. 275 degrees C). Flow-tube pyrolysis produces small ( approximately 1 &mgr;m) spherical particles, whereas sealed-tube pyrolysis produces 6-&mgr;m diameter spherical particles composed of radiating acicular crystallites. Bi(2)S(3) was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.

Methylammonium-Free Ink for Blade-Coating of Pure-Phase α-FAPbI Perovskite Films in Air.
Adv Sci (Weinh)
December 2024

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new α-FAPbI ink for making perovskite solar cells (PSCs) that eliminates the need for additives while still functioning well in ambient air.
- By adding 2-imidazolidinone (IMD) to the precursor inks, they changed how the material transitions from one phase to another, leading to better film quality during production.
- The resulting small PSCs showed impressive efficiencies of 23.14%, and mini-modules reached 19.66%, making this method one of the top performers for phase-pure α-FAPbI PSCs made without extra ions or additives.

Europium halide perovskites are promising candidates for environmentally benign blue-light emitters with their narrow emission line width. However, the development of high-photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) colloidal europium halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) is hindered by limited synthetic methods and elusive reaction mechanisms. Here, we provide an effective synthetic route for achieving high-PLQY deep-blue-emitting colloidal CsEuBr PNCs.

Article Synopsis
- Green hydrogen production is crucial for achieving sustainability, serving not just industry and ammonia production, but also as an alternative fuel source.
- A new method for producing green hydrogen involves light-driven water splitting with a special bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) photoanode created using tailored dual-source precursors in aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD).
- The resulting BiVO4 thin films showed exceptional performance, with high photocurrent densities and a peak incident photon-electron conversion efficiency of 82%, which is the best for any CVD-grown BiVO4 film to date; a new WO3 precursor was also developed for a single-step W-doped BiVO4 deposition.

Nitrides and oxynitrides isostructural to α-SiN (-α-SiAlON, = Sr, Ca, Li) possess superb thermally stable photoluminescence (PL) properties, making them reliable phosphors for high-power solid-state lighting. However, the synthesis of phase-pure Sr-α-SiAlON still remains a great challenge and has only been reported for Sr below 1.35 at.

Solid-state batteries based on LiLaZrO (LLZO) garnet electrolyte are a robust and safe alternative to conventional lithium-ion batteries. However, the large-scale implementation of ceramic composite cathodes is still challenging due to a complex multistep manufacturing process. A new one-step route for the direct synthesis of LLZO during the manufacturing of LLZO/LiCoO (LCO) composite cathodes based on cheap precursors and utilizing the industrially established tape casting process is presented.
