In this research study, we have synthesized, characterized and extensively compared the electrochemical characteristics of two materials derived from 5-sulphoisophtalic acid, 4,4-bipyridine and cobalt metal using sonochemical method. Cobalt-bipyridine complex with 5-SIP in lattice structure (RG-41) showed predominant capacitive behavior whereas Co-SIP-Bpy MOF (RG-42) exhibited significant pseudocapacitive attributes due to the presence of coordination linkage responsible for the electron transfer. Due to the effective electrochemical properties of RG-42, we implemented it practically by fabricating a hybrid device with outstanding electrochemical features, demonstrating impressive 92 % cyclic stability with energy density and power density of 51.41 Wh/kg and 800 W/kg at 1 A/g, respectively. Dunn's method was employed to obtain capacitive-diffusive contributions for both half-electrochemical cells as well as hybrid device. These results underscored the potential of RG-42 as a competitive electrode material for future energy storage applications.

Controlling the emission spectrum shape and the site occupancy tendency are of great significance for designing full-visible-spectrum phosphors in pc-wLEDs application. Herein, a novel blue-cyan emitting KBaScSi2O7 (KBSS):Bi3+ phosphor is reported. Under excitation at 331 nm UV light, the KBSS:0.04Bi3+ exhibits a broadband blue-cyan emission, including a primary peak at 409 nm and a shoulder peak at 493 nm. The two emission peaks exhibit different thermal quenching behaviors because of the existence of defects. The implementation of Y3+, Lu3+ and Cs+ substitutions has successfully enhanced the luminescence intensity of the samples by factors of 1.4, 2, and 2.3, respectively, and the goal of controlling the spectral shape and site occupancy tendency is achieved. Their applications in luminescence thermometers and wLEDs are evaluated. The Sr (relative sensitivity) and Sa (absolute sensitivity) of phosphor are 0.37 % K-1 and 0.20 % K-1, respectively and the as-fabricated white LED device shows superior luminescence performance (CCT = 5311 K, Ra = 90).

The 2D nanomaterial has been widely used in the field of electromagnetic wave absorption because of its high specific surface area and special electrical properties. In this work, three 2D materials were integrated to form a unique ternary composite with Ti3C2Tx MXene as the substrate, RGO as the intercalator with additional components, and CoFe-LDH loaded on the MXene/RGO surface. The interfacial and dipole polarizations were notably enhanced due to the abundant formation of heterogeneous interfaces between the three 2D materials and their corresponding abundant functional groups and defects, and the space between the 2D lamellae enabled multiple reflections of electromagnetic waves. Compared with pure MXene, the MXene/RGO/CoFe-LDH composites exhibited excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance due to the synergy of multiple loss mechanisms, resulting in the best reflection loss value of −58.9 dB at 13.12 GHz.

In this study, we synthesized a novel BiVO4/g-C3N4/rGO (BGR) heterojunction photocatalyst using the hydrothermal method. The synthesized catalysts were characterized through X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Ultraviolet-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-DRS) to analyze their structural, morphological, and optical properties. The hybrid BGR nanocomposite displayed remarkable absorption characteristics, photocatalytic activity, and notable stability. Photocatalytic degradation performance was evaluated against methylene blue (MB) and indigo carmine (IC) dyes. The BGR ternary hybrid nanocomposites demonstrated significant photocatalytic degradation efficiency, achieving removal rates of 95.6 % for MB and 97.5 % for IC dyes within 120 min. The improved photocatalytic efficiency of the ternary photocatalyst is attributed to superior electron-hole pair separation and the formation of the heterojunction structure. The BGR nanocomposite exhibited excellent recyclability, maintaining its activity and crystalline characteristics over five photodegradation cycles. Additionally, the antibacterial activity of the BGR nanocomposites against Staphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was evaluated under UV–visible light exposure. This study provides insights for designing efficient visible-light-driven photocatalysts for environmental remediation purposes.

The work is targeted to rebuild the framework of a nanocatalyst (NCat) that depends on the n/p-type heterojunction through the plasmonic structure of reduced graphene oxide (rGO), silicon oxide nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA NPs), and titanium dioxide (TiO2 NPs). The removal of medical and organic contaminants occurs via photocatalysis operation which follows through the electrochemical technique and UV-spectrophotometer under visible light with nanocatalyst (rGO@SiO2@PVA@TiO2) for clean water and a safe medical environment. The Z-Scheme mechanism explains the development of electron maps in fabricated nanocatalyst engineering to increase the efficiency of the photocatalytic activity. The high activity of the NCat appeared, after 160 min, and the photocatalytic efficiency for methylene blue (MB), methyl orange (MO), rhodamine B (RhB), moxifloxacin (MFX), and colchicine, was 90 %, 76 %, 88 %, 84 %, and 91 % respectively. The stability of NCat was confirmed via the recyclability process, with the efficiency at 58 % after the fifth cycle. The high stability of NCat was proved by the electrochemical technique performed after 100 cycles. The safety of the NCat for the generation of clean water was highlighted by the cytotoxicity test using normal mouse liver cells. It is suggested to use the new NCat design because of its distinctive optical characteristics, which make it a viable candidate for use as a revolutionary nanomaterial with high efficiency and safety for clean water and removal of medical contaminants.

In this study, Pd/MoS2 nanocomposites were successfully synthesized incorporating Pd nanoparticles into three-dimensional (3D) flower-like MoS2 nanostructures. The controlled introduction of Pd was aimed to optimize the photocatalytic performance of the resulting nanocomposites, which exhibited exceptional efficiency in degrading various organic pollutants and antibiotic tetracycline (TC) under simulated solar light irradiation. The nanocomposites with an optimized Pd concentration of 2.5 % demonstrated outstanding photocatalytic efficiency, achieving the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB), Methylene blue (MB), TC by 98 %, 98 %, and 96 %, respectively, with specific interval of 40, 30 and 60 min. The reaction rate constant of the Pd/MoS2 nanocomposites was measured to be 0.7798 min−1 using pseudo first-order rate kinetics. The value is about 19 times higher than that of pure MoS2 (0.00414 min−1) for degradation of RhB. The improved photocatalytic performance of these nanocomposites can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the incorporation of Pd nanoparticles substantially enhanced their light absorption capabilities, leading to an overall increase in photocatalytic efficiency. Moreover, the presence of Pd contributed to a large surface area, further enhancing the nanocomposite's photocatalytic potential. Importantly, the formation of a built-in electric field at Pd/MoS2 interface facilitated the efficient separation of the electron-hole pairs, extending the life time of these photoinduced charge carriers. This study offers valuable insights into development of MoS2-based photocatalyst, which hold significant promise for addressing water pollution challenges and making substantial contributions to the field of water purification and environmental remediation.

To satisfy the increasing necessity of contactless optical thermometry, utilizing both thermally coupled (TCLs) or non-thermally-coupled (NTCLs) energy levels of rare earth ions in novel phosphors has significant potential for devising the optical thermometers with high temperature sensitivity. Herein, a sequence of novel Yb3+,Er3+/Ho3+ doped NaLaTi2O6 (NLTO) phosphors were sintered using a high-temperature solid-state reaction approach. Structure, phase component and luminescence performance were identified in detail. Upon 980 nm near-infrared (NIR) excitation, the obtained materials presented typical Er3+/Ho3+ characteristic emission wavelengths in visible region, which include two green emission bands around 522 and 543 nm, as well as a weaker red band around 661 nm for Er3+ doped NLTO, a green emission band around 545 nm and a red band around 657 nm for Ho3+ doped NLTO. Besides, a unusual emission band around 757 nm of Ho3+ in visible edge region was also clearly found. The temperature sensing properties of representative NLTO:Yb3+,Er3+/Ho3+ samples were assessed based on the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique of TCLs or NTCLs energy levels. The maximal absolute sensitivity (Sa) and relative sensitivity (Sr) were determined to be 0.0374 K-1 (293 K) and 0.970% K-1 (293 K) by taking the FIR of NTCLs 2H11/2→4I15/2 and 4F9/2→4I15/2 transitions in NLTO:Yb3+,Er3+. Simultaneously, the maximal Sa and Sr were 0.0306 K-1 (573 K) and 0.776% K-1 (373 K) using the FIR of NTCLs 5F5→5I8 and 5F4,5S2→5I7 transitions in NLTO:Yb3+,Ho3+. Consequently, the temperature sensitivities above can be compared to reported results, which indicate that as-prepared materials have a promising application in optical temperature sensors field.

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) single crystals (SCs) have been widely investigated in photodetection and X-ray detection. However, external electric-field-driven ion migration seriously affect the stability of MAPbI3 SCs based optoelectronic devices. Self-powered device can operate without any external power supply, which is suitable for mitigating the ion migration of MAPbI3 SCs. To realize self-powered MAPbI3 SC based photodetector and X-ray detector, an asymmetric Au/CH3NH3PbI3 SC/Au planar Schottky structure is employed in this work. At 0 V, the self-powered photodetector can achieve the responsivity of 11.1 mA/W at the wavelength of 795 nm, and the sensitivity of the self-powered X-ray detector can reach 477.1 μC Gy-1cm-2 with the detection limit of as low as 140.3 nGy s-1. Moreover, the self-powered optoelectronic device exhibits good stability in both photodetection and X-ray detection.

有机-无机杂化包晶 CH3NH3PbI3(MAPbI3)单晶(SCs)已在光电探测和 X 射线探测领域得到广泛研究。然而,外部电场驱动的离子迁移严重影响了基于 MAPbI3 SCs 的光电器件的稳定性。自供电器件可以在没有任何外部电源的情况下工作,适用于减缓 MAPbI3 SCs 的离子迁移。为了实现基于 MAPbI3 SC 的自供电光电探测器和 X 射线探测器,本研究采用了非对称金/CH3NH3PbI3 SC/Au 平面肖特基结构。在 0 V 电压下,自供电光电探测器在波长为 795 nm 时的响应率可达 11.1 mA/W,而自供电 X 射线探测器的灵敏度可达 477.1 μC Gy-1cm-2,探测极限低至 140.3 nGy s-1。此外,自供电光电装置在光探测和 X 射线探测方面都表现出良好的稳定性。最重要的是,上述自供电光电器件成功实现了高质量的近红外生物成像和 X 射线成像。

This paper presents the design of a bottom-up "sandwich" configuration substrate via electrostatic self-assembly. A silver microplate (AgMP) serves as the stable structural base, onto which monolayer graphene is wet-transferred. Au@Ag nanocubes (Au@Ag NCs) are then assembled on the upper layer through liquid-liquid three-phase self-assembly, forming a Au@AgNCs/G/AgMP “sandwich” substrate. The combination of electromagnetic enhancement from noble metal nanoparticles and chemical enhancement from graphene synergistically amplifies the signal of detected molecules, leading to significant Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) enhancement. Experimental results demonstrate that this substrate can detect Rhodamine 6 G (R6G) at concentrations as low as 10–12 M and Crystal Violet (CV) at 10–9 M. Moreover, the substrate can detect Aspartame (APM) at concentrations as low as 0.0625 g/L, well below the typical daily intake levels for humans. These findings indicate that the substrate exhibits excellent SERS performance and holds significant potential for broad applications.

Multifunctional piezoelectric devices, which can detect pressure, store electrostatic energy, block UV radiation, and generate electricity from body movements, are highly beneficial for enhancing individual well-being. To achieve these capabilities, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composite films with Ba0.97Ca0.03TiO3 (BCT3) filler were prepared, varying the BCT3 content from 0 to 50 wt.%. The BCT3 ceramic, prepared using a modified solid-state reaction, exhibits a tetragonal phase at room temperature with a d33 value of 105 pC/N. X-ray diffraction confirms composite formation. The beta phase ranges from 75 to 86.9 %. At 40 wt.% BCT3, the dielectric constant, energy density, and piezoelectric properties peak, yielding maximum Wrec and Wtot of 138.1 and 284.7 mJ/cm3 (@ 250 kV/cm), respectively. PVDF-BCT3-40 (40 wt.%) shows maximum voltage, current, and power density of 25 V, 26.8 nA, and 19.8 μW/cm3 under a 50 N load. Increasing BCT3 content enhances UV–visible absorbance, making the composites effective for light shielding.
