Published: October 2006

Cesium-exchanged A and X zeolites were loaded with cesium acetate species and thermally treated in order to inhibit the mobility of exchangeable cesium cations. The proposed procedure seems to block the cavities channels avoiding the releasing of cesium cations under the leaching conditions. The cesium impregnated species did not induce strong structural modifications if they are used in small amounts (0.2 meq/g zeolite), but they promote transformation toward cesium orthosilicate if they are loaded in amounts as high as 2 meq/g zeolite. This orthosilicate retains safely the cesium as it is a component of the lattice.

Background: Salt usage patterns have been associated with a risk of multiple diseases; however, their relationship with heavy metal exposure has not been extensively studied.

Methods: This study analyzed survey data from 11,574 NHANES participants. Weighted linear regression models were used to examine the relationship between the type of salt used by participants, the frequency of adding salt at the table, and the frequency of adding regular or seasoned salt to cooking or food preparation, and urinary concentrations of 10 heavy metals.

Quasi-2D perovskite made with organic spacers co-crystallized with inorganic cesium lead bromide inorganics is demonstrated for near unity photoluminescence quantum yield at room temperature. However, light emitting diodes made with quasi-2D perovskites rapidly degrade which remains a major bottleneck in this field. In this work, It is shown that the bright emission originates from finely tuned multi-component 2D nano-crystalline phases that are thermodynamically unstable.

Formamidinium lead triiodide (FAPbI) has received significant attention in the field of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) owing to its excellent optoelectronic properties and high thermal stability. However, the photoactive α-FAPbI perovskites are highly susceptible to degradation into non-perovskite δ-FAPbI phases, especially under humid conditions, which severely diminishes the device performance of FAPbI PSCs. Here, we propose an interfacial seeding strategy for regulating crystallization and stabilizing α-FAPbI perovskites in humid air.

The adsorption reaction on clay minerals is crucial for understanding the environmental behavior of various cations, including cesium (Cs). However, its details remain unclear because of multiple adsorption sites of the clay minerals, a significant difference between concentrations in the atomic-scale experiments and the actual environment, and difficulties of evaluating bonding states of the adsorbed cations. It is expected that systematic experiments at the atomic-scale with a wide concentration range and application of density functional theory (DFT) calculations overcome the problems and bring crucial insights to link laboratory experiment results with environmental sample analysis.

Lead-free cesium bismuth iodide (CsBiI) perovskite exhibits extraordinary optoelectronic properties and attractive potential in various optoelectronic devices, especially the application for photodetectors. However, most CsBiIphotodetectors demonstrated poor detection performance due to the difficulty in obtaining high-quality polycrystalline films. Therefore, it makes sense to modulate the preparation of high-quality CsBiIpolycrystalline films and expand its applications.
