Saponification Precipitation Method of CsPbBr3 Nanocrystals with Blue-Green Tunable Emission
摘要： We report on a new synthesis process for halide perovskite nanoplatelets and nanoplates that switches the production process of the cesium precursor from a fatty acid/cesium salt reaction to a cesium base/fatty acid ester reaction, thus enabling the reaction to occur in ambient conditions in minutes instead of hours. The saponification precipitation process reported here, as a result, does not require a vacuum oven or inert reaction environment in obtaining the cesium precursor, or any part of the reaction. Furthermore, the process creates a hygroscopic byproduct that results in a self-drying synthesis. The obtained perovskite nanocrystals exhibit a blue-green tunable emission that occurs via quantum confinement effect, phase, and morphology change. The consequence of these physical processes is that the band gap is highly tunable with temperature and the resulting nanocrystals show remarkable optical properties, while greatly simplifying the production of halide perovskite nanoplatelets and nanoplates.

Latent fingermark detection using functionalised silicon oxide nanoparticles: Method optimisation and evaluation
摘要： The application of nanoparticles for latent fingermark detection has been reported in the literature over the past two decades. One of the nanoparticles that shows promise to become a routine technique is functionalised silicon oxide nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs). In a recent optimisation of the technique, the use of carboxyl-functionalised SiO2 NPs doped with luminescent ruthenium complex was proposed as a breakthrough for latent fingermark detection. In this study, the aforementioned functionalised SiO2 NPs were extensively evaluated. Modification and optimisation of the original detection parameters were performed to enhance detection quality and improve applicability. Various detection parameters were evaluated and assessed. A lower concentration of the functionalised nanoparticles used in the colloidal dispersion was determined to offer improved detection effectiveness. A combination of increased bath temperature and reduced immersion time was found to produce good overall results. A set of modified detection parameters was suggested for the use of the functionalised SiO2 NPs to detect latent fingermarks. Performance of the modified detection parameters was compared against that of the published detection method. Comparison experiments were carried out on fingermark specimens deposited on aluminium foil, transparent polypropylene plastic and green polyethylene plastic. Three donors (weak, average and strong) and two age intervals (ten days and three months) were considered in the comparison study. Evaluation of the results suggested that the overall performance of the modified method for latent fingermark detection was superior to that obtained using the previously published detection parameters.

Tailored nanocomposite energy harvesters with high piezoelectric voltage coefficient through controlled nanowire dispersion
摘要： Composites composed of piezoelectric nanomaterials dispersed in a flexible polymer have emerged as promising materials for highly durable and flexible energy harvesters and sensors. Although piezoelectric materials in their bulk form have a high electromechanical coupling coefficient and can efficiently convert mechanical energy to electrical energy, the ceramic form has low fracture toughness and thus they are limited in certain applications due to difficulty in machining and conforming to curved surfaces. Recently, additive manufacturing processes such as direct write, have been developed to incorporate piezoelectric nanowires into a polymer matrix with controlled alignment to realize printed piezoelectrics. Given the multiphase structure of a nanocomposite, it is possible to control the material structure such that the piezoelectric coupling and dielectric properties can be varied independently. In this paper, experimentally validated finite element (FE) and micromechanics models are developed for calculation and optimization of the piezoelectric voltage coefficient, g31, of a nanocomposite. It is shown that by using high aspect ratio nanowires with controlled alignment, the piezoelectric coupling can be disproportionately increased with respect to the dielectric constant which yields a g31 coefficient that can be enhanced more than seven times compared to the bulk piezoelectric material. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the use of high aspect ratio nanowires in the energy harvester resulted in significant improvement on the output electrical power of an energy harvester.

Admittance of Organic LED Structures with an Emission YAK-203 Layer
摘要： The current-voltage characteristics and admittance of multilayer structures for organic LEDs based on the PEDOT:PSS/NPD/YAK-203/BCP system have been experimentally investigated in a wide range of the measurement conditions. It is shown that at voltages corresponding to the effective radiative recombination of charge carriers, a significant decrease in the differential capacitance of the structures is observed. The frequency dependences of the normalized conductance of LED structures are in good agreement with the results of numerical simulation in the framework of the equivalent circuit method. Changes in the frequency dependences of the admittance with a change in temperature are most pronounced in the temperature range of 200–300 K and less noticeable in the temperature range of 8–200 K. From the frequency dependences of the imaginary part of impedance, the charge carrier mobilities are found at various voltages and temperatures. The mobility values obtained by this method are somewhat lower than those determined by the transient electroluminescence method. The dependence of the mobility on the electric field is well approximated by a linear function. As the temperature decreases from 300 to 220 K, the mobility decreases several times.

Effect of NaNbO <sub/>3</sub> Crystals on the Electrical Properties of Na <sub/>0.47</sub> K <sub/>0.47</sub> Li <sub/>0.06</sub> NbO <sub/>3</sub> Ceramics Synthesised by Seed Induced Method
摘要： In this work, we investigated the influence of crystalline NaNbO3 on the electrical properties of Na0.47K0.47Li0.06NbO3 (NKLN) ceramics. Preparation by the conventional method for the upcoming phase of random elements did not control the properties. For this reason, we studied the electrical properties and phase formation that occurred with the addition of NaNbO3 crystals, used at the initial phase of the reaction, in order to modify the electrical properties of NKLN ceramics. We synthesized lead-free piezoelectric ceramics by the seed-induced method. We prepared the NaNbO3 crystals used as seeds by molten salt synthesis (MSS). We mixed the powder oxides of Na2CO3 and Nb2O5 with NaCl oxides-salt ratio 1:6. The seeds varied in content from 0 to 20 mol%. The calcination temperature of NKLN was from 800 to 900 °C for 10 h, using two-step sintering (TSS) techniques. Our investigation further reported on the microstructure and the electrical properties. The results showed high Curie temperature of about 480 °C, while the effect of the seed crystal improved the piezoelectric properties of the samples, compared with the conventional mixed-oxide.

A high-performance room temperature methanol gas sensor based on alpha-iron oxide/polyaniline/PbS quantum dots nanofilm
摘要： A high-performance room temperature methanol gas sensor based on alpha-iron oxide/polyaniline/lead sulfide quantum dots (α-Fe2O3/PANI/PbS QDs) nanofilm was demonstrated in this paper, among which the α-Fe2O3 was an urchin-shaped hollow microsphere. The sensing film was fabricated on an epoxy substrate with interdigital electrodes via successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction technique. The prepared α-Fe2O3/PANI/PbS QDs nanocomposite was examined by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning election microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectrum. The methanol sensing performances of the α-Fe2O3/PANI/PbS QDs film sensor were investigated against methanol from 10 to 100 ppm at room temperature. The experimental results indicated that the methanol sensor in this work had an excellent response, outstanding selectivity and good repeatability at room temperature. The underlying sensing mechanism of the α-Fe2O3/PANI/PbS QDs film toward methanol was ascribed to a series of interactions and changes on the surface of thin films, which make their resistance change greatly. Larger surface area and much more active adsorption sites also played an important role.

Liquefied petroleum gas sensing properties of ZnO/PPy/PbS QDs nanocomposite prepared by self-assembly combining with SILAR method
摘要： In this paper, a high-performance liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sensor based on zinc oxide/polypyrrole/lead sulfide quantum dots (ZnO/PPy/PbS QDs) nanocomposite film was demonstrated, which was fabricated by layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly and successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) technique. The nanostructure features of the as-prepared ZnO/PPy/PbS nanocomposite film were confirmed by various characterization techniques. The room temperature gas-sensing investigation of the ZnO/PPy/PbS QDs nanocomposite sensor was performed against LPG gas in a wide concentration range. The experimental results showed an outstanding response for LPG sensing at room temperature compared with previous reports, the response can reach 45.47% at 1000 ppm LPG. And it also demonstrated good selectivity and excellent repeatability. The sensing mechanism of the PPy/ZnO/PbS QDs nanocomposite film gas sensor is owing to the p-n heterojunction created at the ZnO/PPy interface, as well as much more active adsorption sites.

Hierarchical TiO <sub/>2</sub> microspheres composed with nanoparticle-decorated nanorods for the enhanced photovoltaic performance in dye-sensitized solar cells
摘要： Hierarchical TiO2 microspheres composed of nanoparticle-decorated nanorods (NP-MS) were successfully prepared with a two-step solvothermal method. There were three benefits associated with the use of NP-MS as a photoanode material. The decoration of nanoparticles improved the specific surface area and directly enhanced the dye loading ability. Rutile nanorods serving as electron transport paths resulted in fast electron transport and inhibited the charge recombination process. The three-dimensional hierarchical NP-MS structure supplied a strong light scattering capability and good connectivity. Thus, the hierarchical NP-MS combined the beneficial properties of improved scattering capability, dye loading ability, electron transport and inhibited charge recombination. Attributed to these advantages, a photoelectric conversion efficiency of up to 7.32% was obtained with the NP-MS film-based photoanode, resulting in a 43.5% enhancement compared to the efficiency of the P25 film-based photoanode (5.10%) at a similar thickness. Compared to traditional photoanodes with scattering layers or scattering centers, the fabrication process for single layered photoanodes with enhanced scattering capability was very simple. We believe the strategy would be beneficial for the easy fabrication of efficient dye-sensitized solar cells.

In situ synthesis of ternary nickel iron selenides with high performance applied in dye-sensitized solar cells
摘要： Comparing with the binary chalcogenides, the ternary chalcogenides may achieve higher electrical conductivity and electrochemical activity due to the synergistic effect of the different metal cations. Herein, ternary nickel iron selenide (Ni0.5Fe0.5Se2) was fabricated through a facile one-pot solvothermal method with the assistance of glucose for the first time. The dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were assembled with the as-prepared Ni0.5Fe0.5Se2 as counter electrode (CE). Electrochemical measurements indicated that the Ni0.5Fe0.5Se2 possessed small electron transfer resistance at the interface between electrode and electrolyte, great electrocatalytic activity and reaction kinetics toward the reduction of triiodide. Compared with conventional Pt CE (7.24%), the DSSCs based on Ni0.5Fe0.5Se2 CE achieved a greater power conversion efficiency of 7.89%. Furthermore, this study provides a new idea and strategy with convenient method to synthesize Pt-free alternative materials.

Interesting makeover of strontium hexaferrites for environment remediation from excellent photocatalysts to outstanding adsorbents via inclusion of Mn3+ into the lattice
摘要： Manganese incorporated strontium hexaferrites with composition SrMnxFe12-xO19 (x= 0.0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0) were fabricated via chemical co-precipitation methodology. Various characterization techniques were employed to investigate the physical properties of the synthesized hexaferrites. Powder X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed the formation of hexagonal phase with P63/mmc space group. FE-SEM micrographs exhibited hexagonal morphology of the synthesized materials; particle size of 125-150 nm range was observed. EDX spectra unveiled the presence of desired elements. The lattice interplanar fringe width from HR-TEM images was observed to be 0.22 nm, 0.26 nm and 0.27 nm indexed to (114), (107) and (203) planes of the manganese doped strontium hexaferrite. Surface area of the synthesized hexaferrites was found to be in the range of ~7.8 to ~8.4 m2/g, scrutinized by Brunauer–Emmet–Teller (BET) plots. Saturation magnetisation values were found to decrease with increase in Mn content from 38.7 to 11.7 emu/g, albeit retaining sufficient magnetic strength to be recovered using an external magnet. Absorption edge for all the hexaferrites was found to lie in the visible region of the spectrum. The oxidation state of different elements present in synthesized hexaferrites was scrutinized using X- ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). To explore the catalytic efficiency of the synthesized hexaferrites, photo-fenton degradation of methyl orange (MO), remazol deep red (RDR) and p-nitrophenol (PNP) was employed. All the synthesized hexaferrites were found to be highly proficient, degrading the pollutants upto ~98%. Interestingly, astonishing adsorption of ~92.7 % was showcased by SrMn5Fe7O19, prior to the addition of oxidizing agent indicating the symptomatic transformation from excellent photocatalyst to outstanding adsorbents via incorporation of Mn3+ into the lattice. The maximum adsorption capacity of 56.20 and 112.35 mg/g was observed for MO and RDR, respectively.
