Two-dimensional (2D) GeTe is a popular medium-temperature thermoelectric material, but few studies have focused on strategies for improving its thermoelectric performance. To further investigate the thermoelectric properties of two-dimensional GeTe, different atomic defects are introduced, and the electronic structure and thermoelectric properties are systematically investigated via first-principles calculations and the semiclassical Boltzmann theory. Compared with that of three-dimensional (3D) GeTe, the Seebeck coefficient of 2D GeTe increases from 144 μV K−1 to 560 μV K−1 at 700 K, and the thermal conductivity decreases from 3.3 W m−1 K−1 to 2.3 W m−1 K−1. Thus, the ZT value increases from 0.8 to 1.14. On the basis of these results, the influence of vacancy atomic defects on the thermoelectric performance is investigated. With single-atom defects (SV-Ge and SV-Te), the ZT value increases at constant temperature. However, for double-atom defects in monolayer GeTe, the ZT value increases when DV-585 defects are present but decreases to varying degrees when DV-Ge and DV-Te defects are present. The ZT value of monolayer GeTe with DV-585 defects has an average increase of 0.56 at 300–800 K, which accords well with the experimental results. This study indicates that introducing single-atom vacancy defects somewhat improves the thermoelectric performance of monolayer GeTe, which provides an important point of reference for the development of GeTe in the two-dimensional materials field.

二维(2D)GeTe 是一种常用的中温热电材料,但很少有研究关注改善其热电性能的策略。为了进一步研究二维 GeTe 的热电性能,我们引入了不同的原子缺陷,并通过第一性原理计算和半经典玻尔兹曼理论系统地研究了其电子结构和热电性能。与三维 GeTe 相比,二维 GeTe 在 700 K 时的塞贝克系数从 144 μV K-1 增加到 560 μV K-1,热导率从 3.3 W m-1 K-1 降低到 2.3 W m-1 K-1。因此,ZT 值从 0.8 增至 1.14。在这些结果的基础上,研究了空位原子缺陷对热电性能的影响。对于单原子缺陷(SV-Ge 和 SV-Te),ZT 值在恒温条件下会增加。然而,对于单层 GeTe 中的双原子缺陷,当存在 DV-585 缺陷时,ZT 值会增加,但当存在 DV-Ge 和 DV-Te 缺陷时,ZT 值会有不同程度的降低。含有 DV-585 缺陷的单层 GeTe 的 ZT 值在 300-800 K 时平均增加了 0.56,这与实验结果非常吻合。该研究表明,引入单原子空位缺陷在一定程度上改善了单层 GeTe 的热电性能,这为 GeTe 在二维材料领域的发展提供了重要的参考依据。

The interaction of a sensitive oxide with a target gas determines its chemiresistive signal; however, the lack of a fundamental theoretical model currently hinders its wide application. In this work, CuScO2 microsheets are synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method, which brings about the first oxide-based acrylic acid gas sensor. It exhibits high selectivity for acrylic acid, outperforming other volatile organic compound (VOC) gases, including methanol, ethanol, formaldehyde, toluene, acetonitrile, and acetone, with a high response (up to 7–10 ppm acrylic acid) and an ultralow detection limit down to sub-ppm level (14 ppb) at a low operating temperature of 160°C. Compared to the chromatographic techniques, the proposed CuScO2 gas sensor represents a prominent chemiresistive effect favorable for the simple and efficient monitoring of acrylic acid gas, which is significant for human health. In addition, the remarkable gas sensing properties of CuScO2 are elucidated by a new mechanism based on the results of microstructural characterization and first-principles calculations followed by energy band analysis. Instead of the classic ambient oxygen ionosorption, Cu and Sc atoms on the solid surface play the crucial roles in target gas adsorption and electron transfer procedures, respectively. Such synergistic effect of metal atoms offers a new perspective for the design of material systems for advanced gas sensing devices.

敏感氧化物与目标气体的相互作用决定了其化学电阻信号;然而,目前缺乏基本的理论模型阻碍了其广泛应用。在这项研究中,通过简单的水热法合成了 CuScO2 微片,从而首次实现了基于氧化物的丙烯酸气体传感器。它对丙烯酸具有高选择性,性能优于其他挥发性有机化合物(VOC)气体,包括甲醇、乙醇、甲醛、甲苯、乙腈和丙酮,在 160°C 的低工作温度下,具有高响应(高达 7-10 ppm 的丙烯酸)和超低检测限(14 ppb)。与色谱技术相比,所提出的 CuScO2 气体传感器具有突出的化学电阻效应,有利于简单高效地监测对人类健康至关重要的丙烯酸气体。此外,基于微结构表征和第一原理计算以及能带分析的结果,CuScO2 卓越的气体传感特性通过一种新的机制得以阐明。与传统的环境氧离子吸附不同,固体表面的 Cu 原子和 Sc 原子分别在目标气体吸附和电子转移过程中发挥了关键作用。金属原子的这种协同效应为设计先进气体传感设备的材料系统提供了新的视角。

Judd–Ofelt analysis and photoluminescence study of akermanite-structured Sm3+ -doped Ca2MgSi2O7 phosphor synthesized by combustion synthesis followed by a solid-state reaction process is presented. PXRD confirmed the tetragonal structure with the P-4 21 m (No.113) space group. SEM, EDS, and elemental mapping confirmed the morphology and composition. The photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra indicate that the phosphor gives orange-red emissions at 603 nm attributed to 4G5/2 (to ) 6H7/2 transition. Optimum concentration has been found to be 0.4 mol%. The CIE chromaticity coordinates are 0.57, 0.43. The branching ratio with respect to the transition, 4G5/26H7/2 has been found to be around 53%, suggesting it as a potential laser material in addition to its use for designing white LED phosphors.

A series of superconducting samples including pure Bi2Sr2Ca2C3O10 (BSCCO), Pb-doped BSCCO (Bi1.35Pb0.65Sr2Ca2Cu3O10), Mg-doped BSCCO (Bi1.65Mg0.35Sr2Ca2Cu3O10), and optimally co-doped Pb-Mg-BSCCO with an optimal formula of BiPb0.65Mg0.35Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 (108K superconductor) were carefully synthesized and optimized with a maximum ratio of incorporated lead and magnesium, achieving both quality of structural features and an improved Tc offset of 108 K. The optimized porous sample was well characterized via x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and three-dimensional atomic force microscopy (3D-AFM). In addition, the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface area was estimated at 11.9 m2g−1. Porous Mg-doped BPSCCO exhibited high performance efficiency for H2 storage, recording maximum H2 uptake of 5.92 wt.% at a temperature of 270°C and pressure of 14 bar. A mechanism of loaded hydrogen was proposed. Magnesium and lead incorporated in 2223-BPSCCO were suggested to play a vital role in hydrogen storage as Mg hydride and Pb as plumbane.

Quantitative Analysis and Prediction of Elastic Properties of Tungstate–Tellurite Glasses Doped with Bi2O3 掺杂 Bi2O3 的钨碲玻璃的定量分析和弹性特性预测

In this work, the elastic properties of two tellurite glass series 80TeO2-(20−x)WO3-xBi2O3 (80TeWBi) and 70TeO2-(30−x)WO3-xBi2O3 (70TeWBi) (where x = 0 mol.%, 5 mol.%, and 10 mol.%) were quantitatively analyzed and predicted. Many structural and compositional parameters, including the density of network bonds, mean cross-link density, average bond-stretching force constant, total packing density, and dissociation energy per unit volume, were calculated using bond compression (BC), ring deformation (RD), and Makishima–Mackenzie (M–M) models. These parameters were correlated with experimental elastic properties to explore the structural role of WO3 and Bi2O3 in the tellurite network. It was found that WO3 enters the tellurite network of Bi2O3-free 80TeO2-20WO3 and 70TeO2-30WO3 glasses as a network former. This stiffened the structure through the formation of WO4 tetrahedral units, WO6 octahedral units, and Te–O–W linkages. As a result, the theoretical bulk modules (Kbc) increased from 73.23 GPa to 83.90 GPa whereas the theoretical Poisson's ratio decreased from 0.235 to 0.225 with increasing WO3 mol.%. Meanwhile, Bi2O3 enters the network of TeO2-WO3-Bi2O3 glasses as a network modifier. This weakens the glass structure and results in the transformation of some TeO4 trigonal bipyramids into TeO3 trigonal pyramids by breaking the Te–O–W linkages and creating non-bridging oxygen atoms. Excellent agreement was achieved between the theoretical and experimental values of elastic moduli and Poisson's ratio.

这项研究定量分析和预测了两个碲玻璃系列 80TeO2-(20-x)WO3-xBi2O3 (80TeWBi) 和 70TeO2-(30-x)WO3-xBi2O3 (70TeWBi) (其中 x = 0 mol.%、5 mol.% 和 10 mol.%)的弹性特性。利用键压缩(BC)、环变形(RD)和牧岛-麦肯锡(M-M)模型计算了许多结构和组成参数,包括网络键密度、平均交联密度、平均键拉伸力常数、总堆积密度和单位体积解离能。这些参数与实验弹性特性相关联,以探索 WO3 和 Bi2O3 在碲镉矿网络中的结构作用。研究发现,在不含 Bi2O3 的 80TeO2-20WO3 和 70TeO2-30WO3 玻璃中,WO3 作为网络前体进入了碲铁矿网络。这就通过形成 WO4 四面体单元、WO6 八面体单元和 Te-O-W 链接来硬化结构。因此,随着 WO3 摩尔百分比的增加,理论体积模数 (Kbc) 从 73.23 GPa 增加到 83.90 GPa,而理论泊松比从 0.235 下降到 0.225。同时,Bi2O3 作为网络改性剂进入 TeO2-WO3-Bi2O3 玻璃的网络。这削弱了玻璃结构,并通过断开 Te-O-W 链接和产生非桥接氧原子,使一些 TeO4 三叉二金字塔转变为 TeO3 三叉金字塔。弹性模量和泊松比的理论值与实验值非常一致。

Effects of Various Substrates on the Structure and Properties of BiFe0.91Zr0.09O3 Thin Films 不同基底对 BiFe0.91Zr0.09O3 薄膜结构和性质的影响

BiFe0.91Zr0.09O3 (9BFZrO)/LaNiO3 (LNO)/MgO and 9BFZrO/LNO/Si multilayers were prepared by the sol–gel method using MgO and Si single crystals as substrates, and LNO films with a thickness of approximately 50 nm were deposited by magnetron sputtering to form bottom electrodes and transition layers. The effects of different substrates on the crystal structure, phase composition, oxygen vacancy content, ferroelectric properties, dielectric properties, leakage mechanism, and ageing properties of the 9BFZrO films were systematically analysed. X-ray diffraction showed that the prepared 9BFZrO thin films had a structure composed of both rhombic R3c and orthogonal Pnma phases, and the films prepared on the MgO substrate contained a significant amount of the R3c phase. SEM analysis showed that the thin film prepared on the MgO substrate had a relatively large grain size. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the Fe2+ content and oxygen vacancy defect concentration of the MgO substrate samples were relatively low. The thin film prepared on the MgO substrate has a high residual polarization strength (2Pr = 60.28 μC/cm2) and a low leakage current density (4.71 × 10−6 A/cm2). After 90 days of room-temperature ageing, the residual polarization strength (2Pr) of the film on the MgO substrate decreased by 16.8%, with a lower ageing degree and better stability.

以氧化镁和硅单晶为基底,采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了 BiFe0.91Zr0.09O3 (9BFZrO)/LaNiO3 (LNO)/MgO 和 9BFZrO/LNO/Si 多层膜,并通过磁控溅射沉积了厚度约为 50 nm 的 LNO 薄膜以形成底电极和过渡层。系统分析了不同衬底对 9BFZrO 薄膜的晶体结构、相组成、氧空位含量、铁电性能、介电性能、漏电机制和老化性能的影响。X 射线衍射显示制备的 9BFZrO 薄膜具有由菱形 R3c 相和正交 Pnma 相组成的结构,在氧化镁基底上制备的薄膜含有大量 R3c 相。SEM 分析表明,在氧化镁基底上制备的薄膜具有相对较大的晶粒尺寸。X 射线光电子能谱显示,氧化镁基底样品的 Fe2+ 含量和氧空位缺陷浓度相对较低。在氧化镁基底上制备的薄膜具有较高的残余极化强度(2Pr = 60.28 μC/cm2)和较低的漏电流密度(4.71 × 10-6 A/cm2 )。经过 90 天的室温老化后,氧化镁基底上薄膜的残余极化强度(2Pr)降低了 16.8%,老化程度更低,稳定性更好。

There is a pressing need for investigations of solar conversion systems to enhance and perfect the use of this expandable energy resource. This necessitates additional research on the development of solar cells, which are the mainstay of these systems. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to examine, using numerical modeling, the impact of cell temperatures in the range of 270–340 K on solar cell performance and efficiency. Two configurations are considered based on different overlapping materials. A solar cell type ZnO/a-Si(n)/a-Si(p) (single-junction) with thickness of 25 nm, 50 nm, and 2500 nm, respectively, and a solar cell type ZnO/GaAs(p)/a-Si(n)/a-Si(p) (double-junction) with thickness of 25 nm, 100 nm, 50 nm, and 2500 nm, respectively, are examined. The electrical characteristics, fill factor (FF), and efficiency (ɳ) are extracted to highlight the results of the present study. Numerical analysis was performed using AMPS-1D (One-Dimensional Device Simulation for Analysis of Microelectronic and Photonic Structures), a modeling and analysis program. This analysis enabled the establishment of a causal relationship between the features of the considered solar cells and their corresponding material attributes, and the production process. After different adjustments and refinements, the results for the single-junction cell presented parameter values of ({J}_{text{SC}}=text{32.21 m}) A/cm2, ({V}_{text{OC}}=text{0.81 V}), and FF = 0.75, resulting in efficiency of ɳ = 19.58%. For the double-junction cell, the analysis revealed parameter values of ({J}_{text{SC}}=text{37.75 mA}/{text{cm}}^{2}), ({V}_{text{OC}}=text{0.789 V}), and FF = 0.86, corresponding to efficiency of ɳ = 25.70%.

This study investigates the synthesis of heavy-metal-free AgInS2 quantum dots (QDs) using a facile successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method, exploring their application in quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs). The AgInS2 QDs were grown on mesoporous TiO2 via a two-stage SILAR process at room temperature. The optimization of Ag-S SILAR cycles (n) was performed to determine the ideal conditions, while the In-S SILAR cycles were held constant at seven cycles. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern analysis revealed an orthorhombic crystalline structure of the synthesized AgInS2 QDs. Analysis of the optical spectra revealed a reduction in the optical energy bandgap (Eg,op) of AgInS2 QDs from 2.00 eV to 1.92 eV and further to 1.78 eV as the value of n increased from 1 to 3. Employing AgInS2 QDs, a polysulfide electrolyte, and a CuS counter electrode, liquid-junction semiconductor QDSSCs were fabricated. Optimal conditions were achieved at n = 2, resulting in outstanding power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.57% (Jsc = 8.56 mA/cm2, Voc = 0.64 V, FF = 65.2%). Under reduced light intensity (0.25 sun), the PCE increased to 5.26%. The external quantum efficiency (EQE) spectrum of the best cells spanned 400−700 nm, maintaining a nearly constant EQE value of ~ 65% within the 400−600 nm range. Remarkably, the PCE achieved surpassed previously reported liquid-junction AgInS2 QDSSCs. These findings highlight the facile production of heavy-metal-free AgInS2 QDs through a room-temperature SILAR method and the tunable optical properties of AgInS2 QDs by controlling Ag-S SILAR cycles, revealing their potential as an efficient solar absorber.

Graphical Abstract

本研究采用简便的连续离子层吸附和反应(SILAR)方法合成了不含重金属的 AgInS2 量子点(QDs),并探索了它们在量子点敏化太阳能电池(QDSSCs)中的应用。AgInS2 QDs 是在室温下通过两阶段 SILAR 工艺生长在介孔二氧化钛上的。对 Ag-S SILAR 周期(n)进行了优化,以确定理想的条件,而 In-S SILAR 周期则保持在七个周期不变。X 射线衍射 (XRD) 图谱分析表明,合成的 AgInS2 QDs 具有正交晶状结构。光学光谱分析显示,随着 n 值从 1 增加到 3,AgInS2 QDs 的光学能带隙(Eg,op)从 2.00 eV 减小到 1.92 eV,并进一步减小到 1.78 eV。 利用 AgInS2 QDs、多硫化物电解质和 CuS 对电极,制备出了液结半导体 QDSSC。在 n = 2 时达到最佳条件,实现了 3.57% 的出色功率转换效率 (PCE)(Jsc = 8.56 mA/cm2,Voc = 0.64 V,FF = 65.2%)。在光照强度降低(0.25 个太阳)的情况下,PCE 上升到 5.26%。最佳电池的外部量子效率(EQE)光谱横跨 400-700 纳米,在 400-600 纳米范围内,EQE 值几乎保持在 65% 左右。值得注意的是,所达到的 PCE 超过了之前报道的液态结 AgInS2 QDSSC。这些发现突显了通过室温 SILAR 方法轻松制备出不含重金属的 AgInS2 QDs,以及通过控制 Ag-S SILAR 周期实现 AgInS2 QDs 的可调光学特性,揭示了其作为高效太阳能吸收剂的潜力。

Inorganic lead-free metal halide perovskites are being rigorously explored as a substitute for organic lead-based materials for various energy device applications. Germanium as a replacement for lead has been proven to give exemplary results theoretically, and there have been promising results. The current work presents the investigation of CsGeI3 (CGI) polycrystals grown using a solution-free melt-growth technique with low-cost precursors. A soak-ramp profile was designed to synthesize polycrystalline powders, which were evaluated for stability. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy analysis suggest the formation of CsGeI3 perovskite powders, matching the reported literature. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy measurements showed the bandgap of the polycrystals to be around 1.6 eV. A prominent photoluminescence peak was obtained at 767 nm. The powders were examined using thermogravimetric analysis to assess the thermal degradation pathways. The as-grown inorganic perovskite polycrystals were relatively stable during storage under ambient conditions. Theoretical studies were also carried out to support the experimental data. Calculations were performed with different approximations, including local density approximation (LDA), generalized gradient approximation (GGA), and Heyd–Scuseria–Ernzerhof (HSE) approximation, out of which the HSE approximation yielded the most accurate results that matched the experimental findings. Moreover, for the CGI device with Ag electrodes simulated using SCAPS-1D software, highest incident photon-to-electron conversion efficiency was observed. The obtained optical and structural properties indicate the suitability of the synthesized CsGeI3 perovskite polycrystals for photovoltaic applications, specifically solar cells and light-emitting diodes.

In this work, the synthesis of Ho3+-doped calcium titanate perovskite (CaTiO3) revealed significant photoluminescence (PL) properties, predominantly displaying a distinct green emission. The investigation explored Ho3+-doped CaTiO3 perovskite synthesized via the sol–gel method. Structural analysis confirmed an orthorhombic crystal structure through powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld refinement, while Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy confirmed the presence of functional groups in Ho3+-doped CaTiO3. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) revealed a charge transfer band between O2− and Ho3+ ions in the range of 250–350 nm, supported by photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra. A bandgap of 3.39 eV was found for Ho3+-doped CaTiO3. At 0.03 mol Ho3+, the PLE band intensity was saturated, indicating optimal excitation efficiency. Emission spectra revealed distinct intra 4f–4f transitions, particularly a green emission at 545 nm under 454 nm excitation corresponding to 5F4 + 5S2 → 5I8 transition. The PL intensity reached its peak at 0.03 mol Ho3+ and then decreased due to concentration quenching. Color purity reached ~90%, highlighting its potential in applications requiring precise green emission. The results of the study suggest that this perovskite is well suited for optoelectronics, lighting, displays, or industries that require specific green light emission properties.

在这项研究中,掺杂了 Ho3+ 的钙钛矿包晶(CaTiO3)的合成显示出显著的光致发光(PL)特性,主要表现为明显的绿色发射。该研究探讨了通过溶胶-凝胶法合成的掺杂 Ho3+ 的 CaTiO3 包晶石。结构分析通过粉末 X 射线衍射(XRD)和里特维尔德精炼证实了正交晶系结构,而傅立叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)则证实了掺杂 Ho3+ 的 CaTiO3 中存在官能团。漫反射光谱(DRS)显示,在 250-350 纳米范围内,O2- 离子和 Ho3+ 离子之间存在电荷转移带,光致发光激发(PLE)光谱也证实了这一点。掺杂了 Ho3+ 的 CaTiO3 的带隙为 3.39 eV。0.03 mol Ho3+时,PLE带强度达到饱和,表明激发效率达到最佳。发射光谱显示了明显的 4f-4f 内转变,特别是在 454 nm 激发下 545 nm 处的绿色发射,对应于 5F4 + 5S2 → 5I8 转变。PL 强度在 0.03 mol Ho3+ 时达到峰值,然后由于浓度淬灭而下降。颜色纯度达到约 90%,突出了其在需要精确绿色发射的应用中的潜力。研究结果表明,这种包晶非常适合光电、照明、显示或需要特定绿光发射特性的行业。
