All-solid lithium (Li) metal batteries (ASSLBs) with sulfide-based solid electrolyte (SEs) films exhibit excellent electrochemical performance, rendering them capable of satisfying the growing demand for energy storage systems. However, challenges persist in the application of SEs film owing to their reactivity with Li metal and uncontrolled formation of lithium dendrites. In this study, iodine-doped poly(vinylidenefluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) as an interlayer (PHI) to establish a stable interphase between Li metal and LiPSCl (LPSCl) films is investigated. The release of I ions and PVDF-HFP produces LiI and LiF, effectively suppressing lithium dendrite growth. Density functional theory calculations show that the synthesized interlayer layer exhibits high interfacial energy. Results show that the PHI@Li/LPSCl film/PHI@Li symmetrical cells can cycle for more than 650 h at 0.1 mA cm. The PHI@Li/LPSCl film/NCM622 cell exhibits a distinct enhancement in capacity retention of ≈26% when using LiNiMnCoO (NCM622) as the cathode, compared to pristine Li metal as the anode. This study presents a feasible method for producing next-generation dendrite-free SEs films, promoting their practical use in ASSLBs.

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is recognized as a 2D wide bandgap material with unique properties, such as effective photoluminescence and diverse lattice parameters. Nitride alloys containing h-BN have the potential to revolutionize the electronics and optoelectronics industries. The energy band structures of three boron-containing nitride alloys-BAlN, BGaN, and BInN-were calculated using standard density functional theory (DFT) with the hybrid Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) function to correct lattice parameters and energy gaps.

Article Synopsis
- - Antimony selenosulfide (Sb(S,Se)) is gaining attention for its potential in photovoltaic applications due to its excellent photoelectric properties, with recent improvements achieved through hydrothermal deposition techniques.
- - The introduction of barium dibromide (BaBr) helps suppress both bulk and interface defects by enhancing the growth conditions of the cadmium sulfide (CdS) buffer layer, leading to better crystallinity in Sb(S,Se) films.
- - As a result, the device efficiency improved from 7.70% to 10.12%, demonstrating how manipulating nucleation kinetics can optimize the quality of the absorber material in solar cells.

The lanthanide contraction involves a reduction in atomic radius among f-block elements below the expected level. A similar contraction is observed in group-16 elements. The atomic radius of Se (117 pm) is slightly larger than that of S (104 pm) arising from the presence of d electrons, compared to the significant increase in atomic radius from O (73 pm) to S.

The fast development of China's urbanization has led to a notable release of emerging pollutants, including microplastics (MPs) and endocrine disruptors (EDCs). Generally, these pollutants enter the coastal environment through the discharge of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and finally threaten the organisms in the receiving waterbody. The study investigated the environmental behavior of MPs and EDCs in two typical WWTPs in one of the megacities in China, Shanghai.
