Accurately Probing [Fe(CN)6] Defects in Prussian Blue Analogues

Abstract Prussian blue analogues AxM[Fe(CN)6]1–y·zH2O (A = Na, K, M = Fe, Mn) possess a rich crystal chemistry that allows their use as insertion materials for batteries, water treatment, and smart windows, among others, applications. Despite being simple in appearance, their syn...

Microstructural Evolution of Single-Grain-like TiO2 Microspheres Prepared Through Spray Drying and Multi-Step Sintering

The preparation of TiO2 microspheres by spray drying followed by controlled sintering was investigated. Starting from commercial rutile TiO2 nanoparticles dispersed in water, spherical microspheres with broad size distributions were produced by adjusting key spray-drying paramete...

Hydration-dependent exciton-phonon coupling in a metal-organic framework photocatalyst

Abstract Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have potential for light-harvesting applications owing to their tunable optoelectronic properties via building block selection. The presence of bound solvent in MOFs is known to impact gas adsorption properties, but little is known about t...
