For fabricating the crystal of Rb(x)WO3, the solvothermal process was performed using a mixed medium of water and ethanol as solvent. It has been found that the morphological evolutions of samples were greatly changed as disordered nanoparticles, bundle of nanorods and microfibers with increasing content of water in the starting solution. Among them, sample synthesized with assistance of 3 ml water consisted of the nanorods with a diameter in the range of 80-150 nm, showing suitable size and morphology as near-infrared shielding material. On the merits of this nanostructure, the thin film of the Rb(x)WO3 nanorods realized excellent shielding of near-infrared light, meanwhile, it selectively transmitted the major part of visible light.

The fabrication of dual-quantum dot heterostructures offers a promising strategy to enhance the environmental remediation performance of photocatalysts. Herein, a BiWO-based Z-scheme heterojunction was constructed by incorporating carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) and CdS quantum dots (QDs) via a microwave-assisted solvothermal method. The 1 wt% CPDs/CdS QDs/BiWO (CCBW-1) composite achieved optimal Cr(VI) removal, reaching 97.

3D multifunctional wearable piezoresistive sensors have aroused extensive attention in the fields of motion detection, human-computer interaction, electronic skin, etc. However, current research mainly focuses on improving the foundational performance of piezoresistive sensors, while many advanced demands are often ignored. Herein, a 3D piezoresistive sensor based on rGO@C-ZIF-67@PU is fabricated via high temperature carbonization and a solvothermal reduction method.

It is very challenging to prepare carbon dots (CDs) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property for simultaneous sensitive sensing and efficient removal. Herein, blue-emission CDs were facilely prepared by one-step solvothermal treatment of vine tea. Optical characterizations demonstrated that AIE phenomenon of CDs came from the restricted intramolecular motion.

In this paper, microporous Zn-based zeolitic imidazolate framework with the sodalite cage structure (SOD-ZIF-8) was synthesized by the solvothermal method. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N2 adsorption were employed to characterize the synthesized material. An ultra-sensitive electrochemical sensor based on highly dispersed bimetallic Ni-Pt nanoparticles immobilized on zeolitic metal-organic framework ZIF-8 for dopamine quantification is introduced for the first time.

Tin sulphide compounds (SnS, x = 1, 2) are potential anode materials for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to their characteristic layered structure, high theoretical capacity, non-toxicity and low production cost. However, they suffer from significant volume changes resulting in poor performance of such anodes. In this work incorporation of SnS into the carbon structure was expected to overcome these disadvantages.
