Establishing high performance ultraviolet (UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) selenite crystals with well-balanced properties is very challenging attributable to their strong absorption for UV light. Here a rare-earth selenite, Sc(HSeO ) , with excellent UV NLO properties is introduced. Sc(HSeO ) crystallizing in the polar NCS space group, Cc, features a 3D archetiture built up by interconnected ScO octahedra and HSeO groups. The crystal exhibits remarkably well-balanced UV-NLO functionality, namely, the shortest absorption edge (214 nm) among NLO-active selenites, wide bandgap (5.28 eV), large phase-matchable SHG response (5 × KDP), and sufficiently large birefringence (cal. 0.105 @1064 nm). Detailed DFT calculations have been performed to elucidate the structure-property relationships. This work provides a new example of discovering novel UV NLO selenite materials.

The band gap is one of the significant parameters for nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, which is the key factor in their application band in laser technology. This study reports the synthesis of two rare-earth selenite NLO crystals, namely, RE(HSeO)(SeO)(HO)·(HO) (RE = Y, Gd), utilizing the hydrothermal technique. The two compounds are isostructural, and both belong to the orthorhombic chiral space group of 222 and possess three-dimensional structures consisting of two-dimensional rare-earth selenite layers connected by hydrogen bonds (O-H··O).

Selenium (Se) serves as a burgeoning high-energy-density cathode material in lithium-ion batteries. However, the development of Se cathode is strictly limited by low Se utilization and inferior cycling stability arising from intrinsic volume expansion and notorious shuttle effect. Herein, a microbial metabolism strategy is developed to prepare "functional vesicle-like" Se globules via Bacillus subtilis subsp.
