To broaden the application of cesium lead halide perovskites, doping technology has been widely proposed. In this study, we calculated a 12.5% concentration of a Sr-doped CsPbX (X = Cl, Br, or I) perovskite density functional theory. The results showed that the bandgap energy of the perovskite increased by 0.2-0.3 eV. The high symmetry points of the energy band changed from R to Γ after Sr doping because the Sr doping affected the initial distribution of atomic orbital hybridization. In addition, optical absorption spectra after doping showed an obvious blueshift, whereas the absorption coefficient of CsPbSrX had the same magnitude as undoped CsPbX. Moreover, the effective masses of electrons and holes changed within a small range (0.01-0.03 ) after Sr doping. According to the findings of this study, the CsPbSrX perovskite is expected to become an ideal candidate material for designing photovoltaic and photoelectric devices.

Energy-efficient separation of light alkanes from alkenes is considered as one of the most important separations of the chemical industry today due to the high energy penalty associated with the applied conventional cryogenic technologies. This study introduces fluorine-doped activated carbon adsorbents, where elemental fluorine incorporation into the carbon matrix plays a unique role in achieving high ethane selectivity. This enhanced selectivity arises from specific interactions between surface-doped fluorine atoms and ethane molecules, coupled with porosity modulation.

Iron-doped nickel oxyhydroxides, Ni(Fe)OH, are among the most promising oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts in alkaline environments. Although iron (Fe) significantly enhances the catalytic activity, there is still no clear consensus on whether Fe directly participates in the reaction or merely acts as a promoter. To elucidate the Fe's role, we performed X-ray spectroscopy studies supported by DFT on Ni(Fe)OH electrocatalysts.

This work aims to determine the mechanism of the photomechanical response of poly(Methyl methacrylate) polymer doped with the photo-isomerizable dye Disperse Red 1 using the non-isomerizable dye Disperse Orange 11 as a control to isolate photoisomerization. Samples are free-standing thin films with thickness that is small compared with the optical skin depth to assure uniform illumination and photomechanical response throughout their volume, which differentiates these studies from most others. Polarization-dependent measurements of the photomechanical stress response are used to deconvolute the contributions of angular hole burning, molecular reorientation and photothermal heating.

Mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) is an advanced biomaterial widely recognized for its application in bone regenerative engineering. This study synthesized an MBG powder (80 mol% SiO, 5 mol% PO, and 15 mol% CaO) using a facile sol-gel method with the non-ionic surfactant Pluronic P123, which acted as a pore-forming agent. MBGs form bioactive surfaces that facilitate HA formation, and the presence of Pluronic P123 increases the surface area and promotes HA nucleation.
