The selenide-based Van der Waals heterojunctions show great potential for the next generation of photoelectronic nanodevices. Herein, we construct a 2D photoanode nanocatalyst that consists of ZnSe nanocrystals with exposed active surfaces coupled with few-layered InSe nanosheets decorated by Au nanoparticles. The resultant ZnSe/AuNPs@InSe multi-heterojunction photoanode demonstrates an outstanding photocurrent density of 4.86 mAcm−2 under AM 1.5 G simulated sunlight (100 mWcm−2), which is 8 times greater than that of the pristine InSe photoanode (0.61 mAcm−2). Moreover, the lifetime of photogenerated charge carriers is extended by a factor of 3. This significant enhancement in photoelectrochemical water splitting in the near-infrared region is attributed to the surface plasmonic effect produced by the modification of Au NPs when bulk InSe is exfoliated into multi-layered flakes. The interfacial coupling effects on carrier transfer dynamics, as revealed by impedance spectroscopy assisted with the First-Principal calculations, show that this photoanode significantly minimizes the internal resistance, boosts the charge carrier separation efficiency, and promotes water oxidation.
基于硒化物的范德华异质结在下一代光电子纳米器件中显示出巨大的潜力。在这里,我们构建了一种二维光阳极纳米催化剂,它由具有暴露活性表面的 ZnSe 纳米晶体和由金纳米粒子装饰的少层 InSe 纳米片组成。由此产生的 ZnSe/AuNPs@InSe 多异质结光电阳极在 AM 1.5 G 模拟太阳光(100 mWcm-2)下的光电流密度高达 4.86 mAcm-2,是原始 InSe 光电阳极(0.61 mAcm-2)的 8 倍。这种近红外区域光电化学分水效应的显著增强归功于块状 InSe 剥离成多层薄片时,金 NPs 修饰产生的表面等离子效应。阻抗光谱和第一原理计算揭示了界面耦合对载流子传输动力学的影响,表明这种光阳极能显著降低内阻、提高电荷载流子分离效率并促进水氧化。

This study introduces a novel approach for synthesizing supercapacitor electrode materials using polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a plastic facing recycling challenges. Unlike conventional methods that involve separate carbonization and activation steps, we employ a single-step method. In this process, activated carbons are synthesized using potassium hydroxide (KOH) as an activating agent. Remarkably, the yield via the single-step method (S_PACXs) exceeds that of the two-step method (T_PACYs) by at least 1.7 times. During the single-step process, KOH forms a layer on the PET surface before activation, which leads to increased yields, higher specific surface areas, and more developed mesopores. Furthermore, S_PACXs exhibit superior specific surface areas compared to commercial activated carbon. These enhanced properties significantly improve electrochemical performance, with S_PACXs demonstrating superior performance compared to T_PACYs. Ultimately, this study validates the efficiency of the single-step method in producing high-quality activated carbon from PET, saving time and energy, and outperforming the two-step method.
本研究介绍了一种利用聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)合成超级电容器电极材料的新方法,PET 是一种面临回收挑战的塑料。与涉及单独碳化和活化步骤的传统方法不同,我们采用的是单步法。在这一过程中,活性碳是用氢氧化钾(KOH)作为活化剂合成的。值得注意的是,单步法(S_PACXs)的产率比两步法(T_PACYs)高出至少 1.7 倍。在单步工艺中,KOH 在活化前会在 PET 表面形成一层,从而提高了产率,增加了比表面积,并使中孔更加发达。此外,与商用活性炭相比,S_PACX 表现出更大的比表面积。这些增强的特性大大提高了电化学性能,与 T_PACYs 相比,S_PACXs 表现出更优越的性能。最终,这项研究验证了单步法从 PET 中生产高质量活性炭的效率,节省了时间和能源,性能优于两步法。

A novel Cr3+ doped ZnAl2O4 is synthesized by grafting carbon dots (CDs) and chloride fluxes (NaCl, KCl, NH4Cl) through the solid-state reaction method. Upon excitation at 530 nm wavelength, the Cr3+ ions in the ZAO NPs emit red light due to the influence of a strong crystal field. This red emission arises from the electric dipole 2Eg4A2g of the Cr3+ ions. Among the chloride fluxes examined, NH4Cl had a significant impact on the PL intensity. Notably, when CDs are incorporated into the ZAO:7Cr3+/NH4Cl NPs, a remarkable increase of 17.25-folds in photoluminescence (PL) intensity is observed. This enhancement is substantially higher than that of CDs alone (11.23-folds) and NH4Cl alone (3.82-folds). The increased PL intensity is attributed to the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism. Furthermore, the addition of CDs (5 wt.%) enhanced the colour purity (CP) of ZAO:7Cr3+/NH4Cl NCs to 99.8%, achieving a high Internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of 93.4 %. Notably, the CDs (5 wt.%)@ZAO:7Cr3+/NH4Cl NCs maintained 92.43 % of their emission intensity even at 420 K, demonstrating exceptional thermal stability compared to ZAO:7Cr3+ NPs. Moreover, the NPs holds promise for optical thermometry, boasting a high relative sensitivity (Sr) of 6.74 × 10–2 %K-1 across a temperature range spanning from 300 to 480 K. Moreover, the latent fingerprints (LFPs) developed using CDs(5 wt.%)@ZAO:7Cr3+/NH4Cl NCs demonstrate remarkable selectivity and high contrast. Under UV irradiation, the structural features of LFPs at levels I–III are clearly visible. In addition, the strong red fluorescence emitted by CDs(5 wt.%)@ZAO:7Cr3+/NH4Cl NCs makes them suitable for applications in AC. CDs(5 wt.%)@ZAO:7Cr3+ NCs exhibit significant potential for w-LED fabrication, achieving a correlated colour temperature (CCT) of 5517 K, a CIE coordinate of (0.332, 0.331), and a high colour rendering index (CRI) of Ra = 94, outperforming ZAO:7Cr3+/NH4Cl NPs. Overall results clearly demonstrates that, CDs(5 wt.%)@ZAO:7Cr3+/NH4Cl NCs are effective for applications in optical thermometry, dactyloscopy, w-LEDs, and AC.
通过固态反应方法,将碳点(CD)和氯化物通量(NaCl、KCl、NH4Cl)接枝合成了一种新型的掺杂 Cr3+ 的 ZnAl2O4。在 530 nm 波长的激发下,ZAO NPs 中的 Cr3+ 离子在强晶场的影响下发出红光。这种红色发射来自 Cr3+ 离子的电偶极子 2Eg→4A2g。在所研究的氯化物通量中,NH4Cl 对聚光强度有显著影响。值得注意的是,当在ZAO:7Cr3+/NH4Cl NP 中加入 CD 时,光致发光(PL)强度显著增加了 17.25 倍。这种增强大大高于单独使用 CD(11.23 倍)和单独使用 NH4Cl(3.82 倍)时的增强。PL 强度的增加归因于佛斯特共振能量转移(FRET)机制。此外,加入 CD(5 wt.%)后,ZAO:7Cr3+/NH4Cl NCs 的色纯度(CP)提高到 99.8%,内部量子效率(IQE)高达 93.4%。值得注意的是,CDs(5 wt.%)@ZAO:7Cr3+/NH4Cl NCs 即使在 420 K 下也能保持 92.43% 的发射强度,与ZAO:7Cr3+ NPs 相比,表现出卓越的热稳定性。此外,这种 NPs 还有望用于光学温度测量,在 300 至 480 K 的温度范围内具有 6.74 × 10-2 %K-1 的高相对灵敏度 (Sr)。在紫外线照射下,I-III 级 LFP 的结构特征清晰可见。此外,CDs(5 wt.%)@ZAO:7Cr3+/NH4Cl NCs 发出的强烈红色荧光使其适合应用于交流电。CDs(5 wt.%)@ZAO:7Cr3+NCs在w-LED制造方面表现出巨大的潜力,其相关色温(CCT)达到 5517 K,CIE 坐标为(0.332,0.331),显色指数(CRI)高达 Ra = 94,优于ZAO:7Cr3+/NH4Cl NPs。总体结果清楚地表明,CDs(5 wt.%)@ZAO:7Cr3+/NH4Cl NCs 可有效地应用于光学温度计、腕镜、w-LED 和交流电。

In this paper, CoFe2O4 and CoFe2O4@BaTiO3 (CFO@BTO) particles were prepared by hydrothermal method and sol-gel method, and the CFO@BTO multiferroic fluids with different surfactants were prepared by ball milling method, respectively. The stability, electric properties, and magnetoelectric coupling properties were investigated. From the XRD experimental results, the pure phase CFO@BTO composite particles were successfully prepared, and the HETEM images verified the core-shell structure. When the surfactant was 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, it had a good stability with a sedimentation rate of 4.6 % after 48 h From the dielectric constant as a function of frequency, the average value of the dielectric constant was 4.41. The saturated polarization strength was 8.33 nC/cm2 and the residual polarization strength was 0.91 nC/cm2 as shown in the hysteresis loop. In addition, it had a larger magnetodielectric coefficient (1.54 %) and magnetoelectric coupling coefficient (18.07 V/(cm·Oe)), which provide ideas to further enhance the magnetoelectric coupling effect.

The splitting of water using photoelectrochemical (PEC) processes is a promising method for generating renewable hydrogen. However, the practical efficiency of converting solar energy to fuel in PEC systems remains limited by inadequate light absorption and the swift recombination of photogenerated charge carriers within the photoelectrode material. In our research, we present a photoanode that addresses these challenges. In this work, we report on the electrophoretic deposition of nickel–aluminum layered double hydroxide (NiAl-LDH) under different voltages onto anodic TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTAs) as a convenient and economically viable fabrication route of versatile and durable photoanodes. PEC and optical spectroscopy examinations, including linear sweep voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Mott-Schottky plots, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, reveal that NiAl-LDH/TNTAs composites exhibit a superior enhancement of visible light absorption and consequently water splitting photocurrent. We interpret the improvement of PEC water splitting performance of the NiAl-LDH/TNTAs with the band structure speculated by the binding energy and the flat-band potential and band-gap measurements which features this nanocomposite as a novel photocatalyst for future hydrogen energy applications.
利用光电化学(PEC)过程进行水分裂是一种很有前途的生成可再生氢的方法。然而,由于光吸收不足以及光生电荷载流子在光电极材料内迅速重组,PEC 系统将太阳能转化为燃料的实际效率仍然受到限制。在我们的研究中,我们提出了一种光阳极来应对这些挑战。在这项工作中,我们报告了在不同电压下将镍铝层状双氢氧化物(NiAl-LDH)电泳沉积到阳极二氧化钛纳米管阵列(TNTAs)上的方法,这是一种方便且经济可行的多功能耐用光阳极制造途径。包括线性扫描伏安法、电化学阻抗光谱法、Mott-Schottky 图和漫反射光谱在内的 PEC 和光学光谱检测结果表明,NiAl-LDH/TNTAs 复合材料对可见光的吸收以及由此产生的水分裂光电流均有显著增强。我们根据结合能、平带电位和带隙测量所推测的能带结构来解释 NiAl-LDH/TNTAs PEC 水分离性能的提高,这种纳米复合材料是未来氢能应用的一种新型光催化剂。

Mixed halide inorganic perovskites represent a significant advance in energy conversion materials, with research on these materials paving the way for more sustainable and accessible energy solutions. In this work we investigated the effects of chlorine atom substitution on the structural, electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of mixed halide perovskites FrSnI3-xClx (x = 0, 1, 2, 3). The FP-LAPW approach within the Wien2k package has been employed, using the modified Becke-Johnson potential (TB-mBJ) for the exchange correlation functionals. For FrSnI3 and FrSnCl3 the calculated lattice parameters are in good agreement with theoretical results.The formation energies calculated for FrSnI3-xClx (x = 0, 1, 2, 3) confirm the thermodynamic stability of all these materials. Analysis of the electronic properties, including partial density of states (PDOS), total density of states (TDOS) and band structures, indicates that these materials exhibit p-type semiconductor behaviour with direct band gaps ranging from 1.169 to 1.953 eV In terms of optical properties, the FrSnI3-xClx compounds exhibit high optical absorption (α(ω) > 104 cm−1) in the visible region. The broad absorption range extends from visible to ultraviolet energy. The low reflectivity values observed (below 30 %) and their minimal energy loss suggest potential applications in optoelectronic devices. The thermoelectric properties of these materials were also studied over a temperature range of 100 to 950 K.

混合卤化物无机包晶代表了能源转换材料领域的一大进步,对这些材料的研究为更可持续、更易获得的能源解决方案铺平了道路。在这项工作中,我们研究了氯原子取代对混合卤化物包晶 FrSnI3-xClx (x = 0、1、2、3)的结构、电子、光学和热电特性的影响。研究采用了 Wien2k 软件包中的 FP-LAPW 方法,使用修正的贝克-约翰逊势(TB-mBJ)来计算交换相关函数。对于 FrSnI3 和 FrSnCl3,计算得到的晶格参数与理论结果非常吻合。计算得到的 FrSnI3-xClx (x = 0、1、2、3)的形成能证实了所有这些材料的热力学稳定性。对电子特性(包括部分状态密度 (PDOS)、总状态密度 (TDOS) 和能带结构)的分析表明,这些材料表现出 p 型半导体特性,直接能带隙在 1.169 至 1.953 eV 之间。广泛的吸收范围从可见光能量一直延伸到紫外线能量。观察到的低反射率值(低于 30%)及其最小的能量损失表明,它们在光电设备中具有潜在的应用价值。我们还研究了这些材料在 100 至 950 K 温度范围内的热电特性。它们表现出高塞贝克系数、高导电性和低热导率。值得注意的是,在室温下,FrSnI2Cl 和 FrSnICl2 显示出最高的优越性,分别达到 1.31 和 0.61,这表明它们在热电设备中具有很高的效率。

A novel organic-inorganic metallo-phosphate complex, CoF2(H2O)Fe(C10H8N2)(HPO4)2, obtained through hydrothermal method, was characterized via single-crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared and Raman spectroscopies, and thermogravimetric analysis. UV and photoluminescence spectroscopy were used to determine the optical properties. Structural study revealed a metal-organic framework (MOF), with iron and cobalt octahedra and phosphate tetrahedra, and a (2,2′‒bipyridine) coordinated by Fe octahedron. These moieties form chains, connected via π−π and H bonds. In order to assess the structural stability and interactions between atoms, a crystal contact study was carried out through Hirshfeld surface analysis and 2D fingerprint diagrams, to investigate the tendency of intermolecular interactions to form crystal packing by using enrichment ratio. To better examine the structure, theoretical studies were carried out using density functional theory, followed by a detailed examination of atoms in molecules using the bond critical point approach. The material revealed clear fluorescence after excitation at 285 nm, with intense emission in the violet.

In this study, cobalt-nanoparticles-decorated N-doped carbon aerogels (CoZn@NCA) with well-developed porosity are fabricated through a straightforward sol-gel technique followed by pyrolysis. Chitosan serves as the carbon and nitrogen precursor in the synthesis process, while zinc nitrate acts as a barrier agent promoting the dispersion of cobalt nanoparticles. The CoZn@NCA catalyst demonstrates high activity in the transfer hydrogenation of nitrobenzene with hydrazine hydrate (N2H4·H2O) being used as the hydrogen source. The CoZn@NCA catalyst calcined at 700 °C shows the highest Co0 and graphitic nitrogen content, where both of them synergistically contribute to its superior activity. The CoZn@NCA catalyst delivers an impressive catalytic activity in the conversion of nitrobenzene at 99.78 % and amine selectivity of 99.59 % at 60 °C with 4 equivalents of N2H4·H2O in hexane. A reaction pathway is proposed whereby the transfer hydrogenation of nitrobenzene catalyzed by CoZn@NCA via the indirect pathway involving azobenzene and azoxybenzene as the reaction intermediates.

Yb3+-activated phosphate glasses melted with MnCO3 for solar spectral conversion 熔融 MnCO3 的 Yb3+ 激活磷酸盐玻璃用于太阳能光谱转换

This paper reports on the physical and optical properties of phosphate glasses containing red-emitting Mn2+ and near-infrared (NIR)-emitting Yb3+ ions of interest for solar spectral conversion. The glasses were prepared by melting with 50P2O5-(48 – x)BaCO3–2Yb2O3-xMnCO3 (x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 mol%) formulas, and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), UV–Vis-NIR spectrophotometry, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The glasses were X-ray amorphous with the various characteristic features of phosphate glasses being evident in the FT-IR spectra. The thermal properties of the co-doped glasses assessed by DSC appeared similar despite the variation in manganese content. The optical absorption spectra supported the occurrence of Mn2+ ions while Mn3+ was detected at high MnCO3 content. The NIR absorption due to Yb3+ ions was nonetheless consistent with the fixed Yb2O3 content. The PL evaluation showed that sensitized Yb3+PL was attained under Mn2+excitation at 410 nm where the NIR emission increased with MnCO3 content in connection with Mn2+→ Yb3+ energy transfer. However, the NIR emission output realized with 4 mol% MnCO3 was just marginally higher than the obtained with 3 mol% MnCO3. On the other hand, the red Mn2+emission was highest for 3 mol% MnCO3. Thus, considering the optimized red and NIR emissions while minimizing absorption by Mn3+, the Yb-containing glass melted with 3 mol% MnCO3 was put in perspective with the concept of solar spectral conversion.
本文报告了磷酸盐玻璃的物理和光学特性,这些玻璃含有用于太阳能光谱转换的红色发光 Mn2+ 离子和近红外(NIR)发光 Yb3+ 离子。这些玻璃是通过熔融 50P2O5-(48-x)BaCO3-2Yb2O3-xMnCO3(x = 0、1、2、3、4 摩尔%)配方制备的,并通过 X 射线衍射 (XRD)、傅立叶变换红外光谱 (FT-IR)、差示扫描量热法 (DSC)、紫外-可见-近红外分光光度法和光致发光 (PL) 光谱进行表征。玻璃呈 X 射线无定形,傅立叶变换红外光谱显示出磷酸盐玻璃的各种特征。尽管锰的含量不同,但通过 DSC 评估的共掺玻璃的热性能却相似。光学吸收光谱表明存在 Mn2+ 离子,而在 MnCO3 含量较高时则检测到 Mn3+。然而,Yb3+ 离子的近红外吸收与固定的 Yb2O3 含量一致。聚光评估显示,在 410 纳米波长的 Mn2+激发下,实现了敏化 Yb3+聚光,近红外发射随 MnCO3 含量的增加而增加,这与 Mn2+→Yb3+ 的能量转移有关。然而,4 摩尔 MnCO3 的近红外发射输出仅略高于 3 摩尔 MnCO3 的近红外发射输出。另一方面,3 摩尔% MnCO3 的红色 Mn2+ 发射率最高。因此,考虑到在优化红色和近红外发射的同时尽量减少 Mn3+ 的吸收,使用 3 摩尔% MnCO3 熔化的含镱玻璃符合太阳光谱转换的概念。

The aqueous Mg-air battery has promising applications in energy storage system. To improve the discharge performance of the Mg anode, four dicarboxylic acids including oxalic acid, malic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid are used as electrolyte additive for the aqueous Mg-air battery. The influence of the four selected additives and their reaction mechanism are systematically investigated by hydrogen evolution, electrochemical experiments (OCP, half/full-cell test, EIS), SEM, XRD, XPS and DFT calculations. The experiment results demonstrate that the dicarboxylic acid electrolyte additive can active the Mg anode evidently by increasing the hydrogen evolution volume and negative shift of discharge potentials. The surface morphology and the chemical composition analyses demonstrate that the four selected additives can form soluble complexes with Mg2+. The oxalic acid is the best electrolyte additive among the four dicarboxylic acids. The chelating ability of the additives and the pH of the electrolyte both affect the discharge performance of the Mg anode. The mechanism by which the dicarboxylic acids additives improve the discharge performance of the Mg anode is further proved by DFT calculations. It is the soluble Mg2+ complex (MgL, L: dicarboxylate) formed between the additives and the Mg anode that inhibit the formation of the corrosion products and promote the dissolution of the Mg anode, thus enhance the discharge performance of the Mg anode.
镁-空气水电池在储能系统中具有广阔的应用前景。为了改善镁阳极的放电性能,草酸、苹果酸、琥珀酸和己二酸等四种二羧酸被用作水基镁-空气电池的电解质添加剂。通过氢演化、电化学实验(OCP、半/全电池测试、EIS)、扫描电镜、XRD、XPS 和 DFT 计算,系统研究了所选四种添加剂的影响及其反应机理。实验结果表明,二羧酸电解质添加剂通过增加氢气进化量和放电电位负移,明显提高了镁阳极的活性。表面形貌和化学成分分析表明,所选的四种添加剂都能与 Mg2+ 形成可溶性络合物。草酸是四种二羧酸中最好的电解质添加剂。添加剂的螯合能力和电解液的 pH 值都会影响镁阳极的放电性能。二羧酸添加剂改善镁阳极放电性能的机理得到了 DFT 计算的进一步证实。正是添加剂与镁阳极之间形成的可溶性 Mg2+ 复合物(MgL,L:二羧酸盐)抑制了腐蚀产物的形成,促进了镁阳极的溶解,从而提高了镁阳极的放电性能。
