Colloid flotation of zinc from fresh water with a combination of two collectors, hydrated iron(III) oxide (Fe(2)O(3).xH(2)O) and iron(III) tetramethylenedithiocarbamate (Fe(TMDTC)(3)), permits rapid separation of the precipitate before its atomic absorption spectrometric (AAS) analysis. All important parameters necessary for the successful flotation like optimal mass of collectors, pH of the medium, electrokinetic potential of the collector particle surfaces, type of tenside, induction time etc., were checked. At the optimal pH value of medium (5.5) establishing by recommended procedure, zinc was separated quantitatively (97.4-98.8%) with 5 mg Fe(III) as constitutive element of the two collectors used. The content of zinc was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). These results were compared with the results obtained by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The FAAS detection limit for zinc is 9.4 mug 1(-1). The proposed method is simple, rapid and applicable to the zinc separation at mug 1(-1) levels from a large volume of water.

Transition metal carbides, known as MXenes, particularly TiCT, have been extensively explored as promising materials for electrochemical reactions. However, transition metal carbonitride MXenes with high nitrogen content for electrochemical reactions are rarely reported. In this work, transition metal carbonitride MXenes incorporated with Pt-based electrocatalysts, ranging from single atoms to sub-nanometer dimensions, are explored for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

Actualizing sub-bandgap photovoltaic conversion is effective in remitting energy loss and pushing theoretical efficiency limits for perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, a zero-dimensional organic metal halide based on hydroxyquinoline (HQ) is developed to sensitize PSCs for near-infrared region gain to implement sub-bandgap photovoltaic conversion for enhancing power-conversion-efficiency (PCE) of PSCs. [ZnI4]2- skeletons containing heavy atoms intensify the direct singlet-to-triplet state transition of organic chromophores HQ, Meanwhile, the triplet energy of HQ is close to resonance with perovskite bandgap, favoring the energy transfer to perovskite and exciting the additional electron-hole pairs, which was observed by transient absorption spectroscopy, confirming the sensitization of perovskite to increase sub-bandgap photocurrent.

Ligand-shell engineering of ultrasmall metal clusters is a burgeoning research field aiming to develop cluster-specific properties. However, predicting these properties prior to synthesis is challenging due to their high sensitivity to geometric and/or electronic variations in ultrasmall metal cores, hindering further exploration. In this study, we present a theory-directed ligand-shell design and significant red-shift in absorption of a prolate-shaped [Au(diphosphine)Cl] cluster by synthesizing and characterizing enantiopure octagold clusters bearing chiral BINAP-type ligands [BINAP = 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl].

Defects are common features in hematite that arise from deviations from the perfect mineral crystal structure. Vacancy defects have been shown to significantly enhance arsenate (As) immobilization by hematite. However, the contributions from vacancy defects on different exposed facets of hematite have not been fully quantified.
