Metal-based catalysts are often used to absorb polysulfide intermediates against the shuttle effect in Na-S batteries, but rationalization of an electrode pore structure to improve battery performance is ignored.

The impact of the Se addition and temperature during the selenization process on the composition, structural, morphological, vibrational, and optical properties of the Sb-Ge-Se layers is investigated. The coexistence of Sb<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>3</sub> and GeSe<sub>2</sub> has been confirmed using various characterization techniques, including Grazing Incidence X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy.

However, the underwater (UW) environment remains largely unexplored. Below 50 m, the solar spectrum shifts dramatically, with only blue-green light (400–600 nm) available. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs), known for their high-power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) and tunable bandgaps, offer potential for this environment. Initially, simulations compared the intensity of the solar radiation based on three models, each based on a different water body, down to a depth of 10 m. The trend of maximum theoretical performance, ranging from 1.5 to 3 eV band gap, was analyzed with respect to depth. In this pioneering study, a wide bandgap PSC, based on FaPbBr<sub>3</sub>, has been selected to operate underwater. Results were achieved through a complete in-house process encompassing fabrication, encapsulation, and underwater measurement. A 10-day saltwater submersion test of a damaged device confirmed minimal lead release, meeting stringent legal standards for lead in potable water. PV performance was evaluated UW, demonstrating an enhanced conversion efficiency within the first centimeters of water. This enhancement is due to water's optical and cooling properties.

In this work, the low-temperature glass crystallization method was innovatively introduced into the preparation of high-entropy ceramics. Using garnet-structured rare-earth aluminates (RE<sub>3</sub>Al<sub>5</sub>O<sub>12</sub>, RE is rare-earth elements) as a model system, a series of single-phase RE<sub>3</sub>Al<sub>5</sub>O<sub>12</sub> ceramics with entropy gradients were successfully synthesized through the glass crystallization method at a low temperature (1000 °C).

The HEC samples also exhibited superior mechanical properties compared to most existing high-entropy ceramics, with a hardness of 22.08 GPa and a Young's modulus of 311.6 GPa. The exceptional comprehensive properties of the HEC samples make them a promising candidate material for thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) and high-temperature structural applications. This investigation confirms that high-entropy ceramics with outstanding properties can be successfully prepared using a glass crystallization method, providing a novel strategy for the low-temperature and pressureless controllable synthesis of single-phase high-entropy ceramics.</p>","PeriodicalId":11554,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Materials","volume":"8 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":14.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/eem2.70065","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145273088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
