Shape and nanostructure control has great potential to enable graphitic carbon nitride (C 3 N 4 ) structures with new properties and functionalities. In this work, a new type of hierarchically structured nanoporous C 3 N 4 is introduced. The C 3 N 4 exhibits unique, edelweiss‐like morphology, with components ranging from millimeter‐sized bunches to subnanometer‐thick layers. A one‐step vapor–solid deposition approach using supramolecular aggregates as the precursor is carried out to accomplish the growth. Supramolecular pre‐association plays a crucial role in achieving this nanostructure by directing the vaporization and deposition processes. Furthermore, very small C 3 N 4 quantum dots can be readily acquired by bath sonication of the thin layers in water. The supramolecular preorganization growth strategy developed herein may provide a general methodology in the design of advanced photoelectric materials with broad applications in energy conversion and storage.

Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) is considered as the promising absorbing layer materials for solar cells due to its earth-abundant constituents and excellent semiconductor properties. Through solution-processing, such as various printing methods, the fabrication of high perfor- mance CZTSSe solar cell could be applied to mass production with extremely low manufacturing cost and high yield speed. To better fulfill this goal, environmentalfriendly inks/solutions are optimum for further reducing the capital investment on instrument, personnel and environmental safety. In this review, we summarized the recent development of CZTSSe thin films solar cells fabricated with benign solvents, such as water and ethanol. The disperse system can be classified to the true solution (consisting of molecules) and the colloidal suspension (consisting ofnanoparticles).Three strategies for stabilization (i.e., physical method, chemical capping and self- stabilization) are proposed to prepare homogeneous and stable colloidal nanoinks. The one-pot self-stabilization method stands as an optimum route for preparing benign inks for its low impurity involvement and simple procedure. As-prepared CZTSSe inks would be deposited onto substrates to form thin films through spin-coating, spraying, electrodeposition or successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method, followed by annealing in a chalcogen (S- or Se-containing) atmosphere to fabricate absorber. The efficiency of CZTSSe solar cell fabricated with benign solvents can also be enhanced by constituent adjustments, doping, surface treatments and blocking layers modifications, etc., and the deeper research will promise it a comparable performance to the non- benign CZTSSe systems.

La0.1Ba0.9Fe12O19 powders with similar hexagonal crystal structure to Ba Fe12O19 have been successfully synthesized using polymer precursor method. The powders were suppressed into pellets, which were sintered into ceramics at 1,300 °C for 1 h. The structure and morphology of the ceramics have been determined by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM). Clear electric hysteresis loops upon different amplitude of external fields indicates that La0.1Ba0.9Fe12O19 is a kind of possible ferroelectric compound. The maximum remnant polarization of La0.1Ba0.9Fe12O19 ceramic is estimated to be *9.6 l C/cm2. The Fe O6 octahedron in its perovskite-like hexagonal unit cell as well as the shift of Fe3?off the center of octahedron are proposed to be the origin of electric polarization in La0.1Ba0.9Fe12O19. Simultaneous occurrence of large ferroelectricity and strong ferromagnetism has been observed in La0.1Ba0.9Fe12O19 ceramics. More interestingly, this compound demonstrates electronic polarization behavior being actuated by an applied magnetic field, indicating the existence of magnetoelectric(ME) coupling effect in the La0.1Ba0.9Fe12O19 ceramics. Our results may lead to new device applications such as magnetically recorded ferroelectric memory.

Linear dielectric materials are ideal options for energy storage application due to the typical high energy storage efficiency and breakdown strength. In the present work, linear dielectric system Ca 1-x Sr x TiO 3 (x=0~0.6) was synthesized through conventional solid state reaction method. All the samples were sintered at 1400°C and had dense and pore-free microstructures. The effects of Sr substitution on the phase transition, microstructure and ferroelectric properties were systematically investigated. Slow scanning X-ray diffraction showed that crossover region between orthorhombic phase (Pbnm) and tetragonal phase (I4/mcm) at about x=0.30-0.50 has been obtained. SEM revealed the Ca 0.6 Sr 0.4 TiO 3 ceramics exhibit the most homogeneous microstructure with fine grains. The breakdown strengths were found to be enhanced near the phase transition composition due to the optimized microstructure, Ca 0.6 Sr 0.4 TiO 3 showed the highest breakdown strength, which reached 26 kV/mm at room temperature. Additionally, HfO 2 , with a high band energy, was selected as additive into the Ca 0.6 Sr 0.4 TiO 3 system to mitigate the high-temperature and high-field loss, so that to improve the stability of energy storage efficiency under elevated temperature and electric field.

Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries are receiving significant attention as an alternative power system for advanced electronic devices because of their high theoretical capacity and energy density. In this work, we have designed manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheet functionalized sulfur@poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) core–shell nanospheres (S@PEDOT/MnO2) for high performance lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. A PEDOT layer is used to address the low electrical conductivity of sulfur and acts as a protective layer to prevent dissolution of polysulfides. The MnO2 nanosheets functionalized on PEDOT further provide a high active contact area to enhance the wettability of the electrode materials with electrolytes and further interlink the polymer chains to improve the conductivity and stability of the composite. As a result, S@PEDOT/MnO2 exhibits an improved capacity of 827 mA h g−1 after 200 cycles at 0.2C (1C = 1673 mA g−1) and a further ∼50% enhancement compared to S@PEDOT (551 mA h g−1) without MnO2 functionalization. In particular, the discharge capacity of S@PEDOT/MnO2 is 545 mA h g−1 after 200 cycles at 0.5C. Our demonstration here indicates that the functionalization of inorganic nanostructures on conducting polymer coated sulfur nanoparticles is an effective strategy to improve the electrochemical cycling performance and stability of sulfur cathodes for Li–S batteries.
