Morphology and structure of lead‐free CuSb‐based double perovskites for photocatalytic CO2 reduction
Lead‐free halide double perovskites (DPs) have attracted great attention due to their stability, nontoxicity, and good photophysical properties. Herein, environmentally friendly small‐bandgap Cs2CuSbCl6 and Cs4CuSb2Cl12 DPs microcrystals (MCs) are ...

X‐Functionality–Driven Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution in 2D 4‐X‐PEA2SnI4 Perovskites
We report a water‐based synthesis of 2D 4‐X‐PEA2SnI4 perovskite microcrystals with prominent photocatalytic (PC) activity for H2 production. The synergy between organic functionalization and HI‐derived iodide scavenges holes suppress octahedral distortion, and favor electron accumulation, enabling a PC H2 evolution ∼20 µmol·g−1 and long‐term stability ...

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics
The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and

Giant water clusters: where are they from?
A new mechanism for the formation and destruction of giant water clusters described in the literature is proposed. We have earlier suggested that the clusters are associates of liquid crystal spheres (LCS), each of which is formed around a seed particle,
