This work study the effects of argon beam irradiation on surface properties of CA/PANI films using cold cathode source with varying ion fluences (4×1014, 8×1014, and 12×1014 ions/cm2). The EDX, SEM and FTIR methods verified successful fabrication of the composites. Surface free energy, contact angle, and work of adhesion were measured for both the pure and irradiated films. Raising the ion flux from 4x1014 ions.cm-2 to 12x1014 ions.cm-2 it decreases the contact angle of CA/PANI from 62.1o to 43.4o and increases the surface free energy from 46.7 to 63.9 mJ/m2. The results showed that the CA/PANI changed after exposed to radiation, proving that the irradiated surface properties were improved. In addition, their electrical conductivity was tested in the frequency range of 50 to106 Hz for CA/PANI films. When subjected to 12x1014 ions.cm-2, the conductivity rose from 1.1×10-8 S/cm for CA/PANI to 6.5×10-7 S/cm. The results showed that the irradiated CA/PANI had better electrical and surface properties, which is crucial for many devices including batteries and supercapacitors

Detection of glucose is highly informative, creating a constant demand for fabricating high-precision glucose biosensors. Metal–organic frameworks, a family of porous materials renowned for their tunability, can be an excellent choice for developing such sensors. We have developed a highly-sensitive, non-enzymatic sensor for electrochemical detection of glucose fabricated using Copper Metal–Organic Framework (Cu MOF), synthesized by a simple, room-temperature stirring method using Benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (BTC) as ligand and Copper nitrate trihydrate as precursor. The synthesized nanostructure was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray analytical techniques. Powder X-ray diffraction study and thermogravimetric analysis were also done. Further, Brunnauer-Emmett-Teller analysis revealed the porous nature of Cu MOF. The materials exhibited strong electro-catalytic activity for glucose oxidation as revealed from cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometric studies done under alkaline pH conditions. The Cu MOF deposited on a conducting graphite sheet electrode displayed a significantly low detection limit of 0.019 mM through a broad detection range (1–15 mM) and a strong sensitivity of 229.4 μAmM-1 cm2. Overall, the Cu MOF/GS exhibits exceptional stability, short response time (less than 1s), and good repeatability and reproducibility, making it a promising future material for non-enzymatic glucose detection.
葡萄糖的检测具有很高的信息量,因此对制造高精度葡萄糖生物传感器的需求不断增加。金属有机框架是以可调性著称的多孔材料系列,是开发此类传感器的绝佳选择。我们利用金属有机框架铜(Cu MOF)开发了一种用于电化学检测葡萄糖的高灵敏度非酶传感器,该传感器以苯-1,3,5-三羧酸(BTC)为配体,以三水硝酸铜为前驱体,通过简单的室温搅拌法合成。利用傅立叶变换红外光谱、扫描电子显微镜和能量色散 X 射线分析技术对合成的纳米结构进行了表征。此外,还进行了粉末 X 射线衍射研究和热重分析。此外,Brunnauer-Emmett-Teller 分析还揭示了 Cu MOF 的多孔性。在碱性 pH 条件下进行的循环伏安法和计时电流法研究表明,这些材料具有很强的葡萄糖氧化电催化活性。沉积在导电石墨片电极上的 Cu MOF 在较宽的检测范围(1-15 mM)内显示出 0.019 mM 的较低检测限和 229.4 μAmM-1 cm2 的较高灵敏度。总之,Cu MOF/GS 具有优异的稳定性、较短的响应时间(小于 1 秒)以及良好的重复性和再现性,使其成为一种很有前途的非酶葡萄糖检测材料。

This research explored the temperature dependence magnetization, magnetocaloric effect, and critical field analysis of Nd0.7-xLaxSr0.3MnO3 (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) manganites samples synthesized through solid state reaction route. The substitution of La3+ at Nd3+ site enhances the A-site average ionic radius ( ) from 1.321 Å (for x = 0.0) to 1.348 Å (for x = 0.3). An increase in reduced the internal chemical pressure inside the lattice such that the Mn-O-Mn bond angle approached 180°. In addition, an increase in Mn-O-Mn bond angle supresses the spin-lattice interaction, which consequently reduces the change in maximum magnetic entropy at the magnetic transition temperature. This implies that variation of A-site average ionic radius influences the change in maximum magnetic entropy. The critical behavior of the manganite samples was addressed based on the data of magnetization measurements around the transition temperature TC. Various techniques such as modified Arrott plot, a Kouvel–Fisher method, and critical isotherm analysis were used to measure the values of the ferromagnetic transition temperature TC, as well as the critical exponents of β, γ, and δ. The magnetic order parameter is very well obeyed with scaling relation with change in magnetic entropy.

The structural parameters of Ga2Te5 crystals grown using the Bridgman method have been studied. X-ray diffaction analysis revealed the crystal structure of Ga2Te5 in the tetragonal phase. In addition, crystalline size, strain, and dislocation density were calculated with the Sherrer model and the Williamson-Hall (W-H) model. The switching effect was achieved for Ga2Te5 crystals. Furthermore, the effect of temperature and light intensity was studied for Ga2Te5 crystals. The results show that temperature and light intensity affect switching characteristics such as threshold current (ith), threshold voltage (Vth), threshold power (Pth), and resistance ratios from a high-resistance OFF state to a low-resistance ON state (ROFF/RON).

We are working to design dielectric resonator antennas based on binary composites made of epoxy resin (RE) and barium titanate (BaTiO3 or BT). The composite samples are prepared at room temperature and under atmospheric pressure. The dielectric properties of these composites were assessed using time domain spectroscopy (TDS). The antennas structure are designed, simulated, and optimized using electromagnetic software Ansys, HFSS. Two types of antennas are studied. The first type consists of a cylindrical dielectric resonator that gives three antenna models in terms of bandwidths, the antennas having a single frequency band, the antennas having dual-band, and the antenna covering three frequency bands, with peak gains varying between 3.68 and 8.15 dB achieved. The second type consists of dielectric resonators composed of two adjacent identical shapes each consisting of a rectangular joined with a cylindrical with the same height. The proposed antenna achieves ultra-wideband with a relative bandwidth of 97% covering the range of 6 to 17.32 GHz, and dual-band circularly polarized (AR<3 dB), the range of the lower band is 9.62 to 10.14 GHz and the range of the upper band is 16.74 to 16.94 GHz. The focus of this research is on creating novel antennas for applications in wireless communications systems.

Developing high-performance anion-exchange membrane fuel cells requires stable and highly active oxygen reduction (ORR) catalysts. To fabricate cheap and efficient porous carbon materials for ORR, heteroatom-doped carbon nanorods were synthesized by pyrolyzing Bacillus subtilis. The obtained carbon material maintained the uniformly distributed nanorods as original Bacillus subtilis and had inherent doped heteroatom. The obtained BS-2.0 had the highest specific surface area (209.04 m2 g-1) and the maximum ID/IG (1.0372). Its starting potential (0.93 V vs. RHE) and semi-wave potential (0.81 V vs. RHE) were close to 20% commercial Pt/C, and its ultimate current density was 3.98 mA cm-2@1600 rpm. Meanwhile, the stability of cycling potentiates polarization, and methanol tolerance of BS-2.0 were all greater than 20% commercial Pt/C. It was the inherent heteroatom, well-distributed nanorods, abundant pore distribution, and large surface area that contributed to its excellent electrochemical performance.

The analog/radio-frequency (RF) performance of a ferroelectric-based substrate metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (FE-MOSFET) with dielectric spacer was designed and proposed. The utilization of gate side wall spacers aims to mitigate short-channel effects (SCEs), and improve overall device performance. Simulation results demonstrate enhanced performance metrics, including improved transconductance (80%), reduced gate leakage (95.4%), and enhanced cutoff frequency (25%), making this design a promising candidate for next-generation high-performance analog and RF applications. Additionally, a novel machine learning (ML)-assisted approach is proposed for investigating the spacer-based FE-MOSFET to reduce the computational cost of numerical TCAD device simulations with the help of conventional- artificial neural network (C-ANN). This method is reported for the first-time ML-based C-ANN for Fe-based low-power MOSFET, matches the similar accuracy of physics-based TCAD with the fastest learning rate and fastest computational speed (in 95-100 seconds). An ML-based prediction replacement for physics-based TCAD is developed to save around 8-10 hours of runtime for each iteration. Because ML predictions can never be 100% accurate, it is essential to ensure approximately zero mean-square error in the final results.

A consolidation of the fundamentals of elemental crystallogen chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a necessity in view of the extensive evidence accumulated over the last few decades. An in-depth understanding of deposition mechanisms via hydrides asks for a discerning understanding of molecular hydrogen dissociative adsorption, precursor thermal decomposition, and CVD growth rates. With those, a groundbreaking paradigm shift comes to light. GR activation energy E(GR) fingerprints the surface energy. SE ≈ 2E(GR) / (aa), where SE is surface energy, E(GR) activation energy, a lattice parameter. Hydride precursor thermal decomposition consistency with the corresponding solid growth kinetics is demonstrated. Heterogeneous TD kinetics captures a solid deposition and not a gas phase molecular reaction. Thermodynamic equilibrium is achieved during the heterogeneous thermal decomposition of silicon precursors. The popular split between mass-transfer and kinetic regimes is not supported by evidence. Three mechanisms are apparent. The first is controlled by a Si–H bond dissociation energy. The second is controlled by an H–H bond dissociation energy. The last is controlled by a Si–Si bond dissociation energy as lattice sites are sealed off with Si–H bonds.

The last is controlled by a Si–Si bond dissociation energy as lattice sites are sealed off with Si–H bonds.","PeriodicalId":504734,"journal":{"name":"ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140710206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recycling of LiCoO2 (LCO) based Li-ion batteries for energy storage systems is crucial both environmentally and economically. Reusing active species of LCO cathodes minimizes waste and conserves resources, promoting sustainability in energy storage. We have investigated repurposing cobalt from spent LiCoO2 (LCO) type Li-ion batteries into a cobalt sulfide-based compound (CS), which was then employed as an electrode material in asymmetric supercapacitors. Initially, the LCO cathode compound underwent leaching, resulting in the precipitation of CS utilizing the sulfur source derived from cobalt ions present in the solution. Furthermore, chlorine-doped graphene oxide (Cl-GO) was synthesized via the chronoamperometric method utilizing a 5 M perchloric acid solution. Produced CS and Cl-GO were characterized by using spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The resulting CS and Cl-GO powders were combined to form the composite positive electrode of coin cell type asymmetric supercapacitors (CCTAS), with graphite powder (GP) utilized in the preparation of the negative electrode. CCTAS were also characterized by using electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and galvanostatic charge-discharge. The highest areal capacitance, recorded as 101 mF.cm-2 at a scan rate of 10 mV.s-1, was achieved in the CS/Cl-GO%15//GP CCTAS, with a capacitance retention of approximately 94% observed after 1000 cycles.

Electrical properties of an organic field-effect transistor were modelled in top gate top contact (TGTC) geometry and H2 gas sensors were designed for increased sensitivity based on the structure. Safety concerns related to hydrogen usage must be addressed; these hazardous characteristics include a wide flammable range (4-75%) that results in a rapid burning velocity, a low minimum ignition energy (0.017 mJ), a high heat of combustion (143 kJ/g), and the high diffusivity of hydrogen gas (0.61 cm2/s in the air). These characteristics make it impossible to control hydrogen combustion after a specific time. All simulations were performed in the Silvaco TCAD ATLAS tool. We analysed the driving principle of gas sensors and introduced gas sensing properties in OFET using platinum metal at the gate electrode for H2 gas detection. IOFF, ION, and VTH are sensitivity parameters that alter when the metalwork function of the gate changes with respect to the gas present on it. The designed sensor was analysed for different dielectric materials. Results demonstrate that the increase in sensitivity for OFET-based H2 sensors is 73.4 %, 80.7%, 90.5 %, and 95.6 % when the work function changes by 50, 100, 150, and 200 meV for Pt gate electrodes with an increase in dielectric value of insulating layer from SiO2 (3.9) to La2O3 (27). Results were compared with the In1-xGaxAs CGNWFET-based H2 sensor as the work function varies at 200 meV,the sensitivity enhancement with OFET-based H2 sensors is 8.09%
