  text: Lithium–sulfur batteries are regarded as an advantageous option for meeting
    the growing demand for high-energy-density storage, but their commercialization
    relies on solving the current limitations of both sulfur cathodes and lithium
    metal anodes. In this scenario, the implementation of lithium sulfide (Li2S) cathodes
    compatible with alternative anode materials such as silicon has the potential
    to alleviate the safety concerns associated with lithium metal. In this direction,
    here, we report a sulfur cathode based on Li2S nanocrystals grown on a catalytic
    host consisting of CoFeP nanoparticles supported on tubular carbon nitride. Nanosized
    Li2S is incorporated into the host by a scalable liquid infiltration–evaporation
    method. Theoretical calculations and experimental results demonstrate that the
    CoFeP–CN composite can boost the polysulfide adsorption/conversion reaction kinetics
    and strongly reduce the initial overpotential activation barrier by stretching
    the Li–S bonds of Li2S. Besides, the ultrasmall size of the Li2S particles in
    the Li2S–CoFeP–CN composite cathode facilitates the initial activation. Overall,
    the Li2S–CoFeP–CN electrodes exhibit a low activation barrier of 2.56 V, a high
    initial capacity of 991 mA h gLi2S–1, and outstanding cyclability with a small
    fading rate of 0.029% per cycle over 800 cycles. Moreover, Si/Li2S full cells
    are assembled using the nanostructured Li2S–CoFeP–CN cathode and a prelithiated
    anode based on graphite-supported silicon nanowires. These Si/Li2S cells demonstrate
    high initial discharge capacities above 900 mA h gLi2S–1 and good cyclability
    with a capacity fading rate of 0.28% per cycle over 150 cycles.

  text: There is a need for the development of lead-free thermoelectric materials
    for medium-/high-temperature applications. Here, we report a thiol-free tin telluride
    (SnTe) precursor that can be thermally decomposed to produce SnTe crystals with
    sizes ranging from tens to several hundreds of nanometers. We further engineer
    SnTe–Cu2SnTe3 nanocomposites with a homogeneous phase distribution by decomposing
    the liquid SnTe precursor containing a dispersion of Cu1.5Te colloidal nanoparticles.
    The presence of Cu within the SnTe and the segregated semimetallic Cu2SnTe3 phase
    effectively improves the electrical conductivity of SnTe while simultaneously
    reducing the lattice thermal conductivity without compromising the Seebeck coefficient.
    Overall, power factors up to 3.63 mW m–1 K–2 and thermoelectric figures of merit
    up to 1.04 are obtained at 823 K, which represent a 167% enhancement compared
    with pristine SnTe.

  text: High-entropy materials offer numerous advantages as catalysts, including a
    flexible composition to tune the catalytic activity and selectivity and a large
    variety of adsorption/reaction sites for multistep or multiple reactions. Herein,
    we report on the synthesis, properties, and electrocatalytic performance of an
    amorphous high-entropy boride based on abundant transition metals, CoFeNiMnZnB.
    This metal boride provides excellent performance toward the oxygen evolution reaction
    (OER), including a low overpotential of 261 mV at 10 mA cm–2, a reduced Tafel
    slope of 56.8 mV dec–1, and very high stability. The outstanding OER performance
    of CoFeNiMnZnB is attributed to the synergistic interactions between the different
    metals, the leaching of Zn ions, the generation of oxygen vacancies, and the in
    situ formation of an amorphous oxyhydroxide at the CoFeNiMnZnB surface during
    the OER.

  text: Composite materials offer numerous advantages in a wide range of applications,
    including thermoelectrics. Here, semiconductor–metal composites are produced by
    just blending nanoparticles of a sulfide semiconductor obtained in aqueous solution
    and at room temperature with a metallic Cu powder. The obtained blend is annealed
    in a reducing atmosphere and afterward consolidated into dense polycrystalline
    pellets through spark plasma sintering (SPS). We observe that, during the annealing
    process, the presence of metallic copper activates a partial reduction of the
    PbS, resulting in the formation of PbS–Pb–CuxS composites. The presence of metallic
    lead during the SPS process habilitates the liquid-phase sintering of the composite.
    Besides, by comparing the transport properties of PbS, the PbS–Pb–CuxS composites,
    and PbS–CuxS composites obtained by blending PbS and CuxS nanoparticles, we demonstrate
    that the presence of metallic lead decisively contributes to a strong increase
    of the charge carrier concentration through spillover of charge carriers enabled
    by the low work function of lead. The increase in charge carrier concentration
    translates into much higher electrical conductivities and moderately lower Seebeck
    coefficients. These properties translate into power factors up to 2.1 mW m–1 K–2
    at ambient temperature, well above those of PbS and PbS + CuxS. Additionally,
    the presence of multiple phases in the final composite results in a notable decrease
    in the lattice thermal conductivity. Overall, the introduction of metallic copper
    in the initial blend results in a significant improvement of the thermoelectric
    performance of PbS, reaching a dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT
    = 1.1 at 750 K, which represents about a 400% increase over bare PbS. Besides,
    an average ZTave = 0.72 in the temperature range 320–773 K is demonstrated.

  text: Focused ion beams perfectly suit for patterning two-dimensional (2D) materials,
    but the optimization of irradiation parameters requires full microscopic understanding
    of defect production mechanisms. In contrast to freestanding 2D systems, the details
    of damage creation in supported 2D materials are not fully understood, whereas
    the majority of experiments have been carried out for 2D targets deposited on
    substrates. Here, we suggest a universal and computationally efficient scheme
    to model the irradiation of supported 2D materials, which combines analytical
    potential molecular dynamics with Monte Carlo simulations and makes it possible
    to independently assess the contributions to the damage from backscattered ions
    and atoms sputtered from the substrate. Using the scheme, we study the defect
    production in graphene and MoS2 sheets, which are the two most important and wide-spread
    2D materials, deposited on a SiO2 substrate. For helium and neon ions with a wide
    range of initial ion energies including those used in a commercial helium ion
    microscope (HIM), we demonstrate that depending on the ion energy and mass, the
    defect production in 2D systems can be dominated by backscattered ions and sputtered
    substrate atoms rather than by the direct ion impacts and that the amount of damage
    in 2D materials heavily depends on whether a substrate is present or not. We also
    study the factors which limit the spatial resolution of the patterning process.
    Our results, which agree well with the available experimental data, provide not
    only insights into defect production but also quantitative information, which
    can be used for the minimization of damage during imaging in HIM or optimization
    of the patterning process.

  text: 'We report a family of Pt and Pd benzoporphyrin dyes with versatile photophysical
    properties and easy access from cheap and abundant chemicals. Attaching 4 or 8
    alkylsulfone groups onto a meso-tetraphenyltetrabenzoporphyrin (TPTBP) macrocylcle
    renders the dyes highly soluble in organic solvents, photostable, and electron-deficient
    with the redox potential raised up to 0.65 V versus the parent porphyrin. The
    new dyes intensively absorb in the blue (Soret band, 440–480 nm) and in the red
    (Q-band, 620–650 nm) parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and show bright phosphorescence
    at room-temperature in the NIR with quantum yields up to 30% in solution. The
    small singlet–triplet energy gap yields unusually efficient thermally activated
    delayed fluorescence (TADF) at elevated temperatures in solution and in polymeric
    matrices with quantum yields as high as 27% at 120 °C, which is remarkable for
    benzoporphyrins. Apart from oxygen sensing, these properties enable unprecedented
    simultaneous, self-referenced oxygen and temperature sensing with a single indicator
    dye: whereas oxygen can be determined either via the decay time of phosphorescence
    or TADF, the temperature is accessed via the ratio of the two emissions. Moreover,
    the dyes are efficient sensitizers for triplet–triplet annihilation (TTA)-based
    upconversion making possible longer sensitization wavelength than the conventional
    benzoporphyrin complexes. The Pt-octa-sulfone dye also features interesting semireversible
    transformation in basic media, which generates new NIR absorbing species.'
