Black phosphorous sensitized TiO <sub/>2</sub> mesocrystals photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution with visible and near-infrared light irradiation
摘要： Wide absorption from ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR) region and enhanced charge separation are two main requirements for promising semiconductor photocatalysts. Here, we studied visible-NIR driven photocatalytic hydrogen evolution over black phosphorus nanosheets/TiO2 mesocrystals loaded with Pt heterostructure (BP NS/ Pt (3 wt%)/TMC TMC). BP NS/Pt (3 wt%)/TMC can harvest photons from UV to NIR and simultaneously has enhanced charge separation to increase the generation of electrons for photocatalytic reduction of water. BP NS/Pt (3 wt%)/TMC exhibited photocatalytic H2 evolution rates of 1.9 and 0.41 μmol h-1 under visible (λ> 420 nm (420-1800 nm)) and NIR (λ> 780 nm (780-1800 nm) irradiation, respectively, compared with 0.3 and 0.10 μmol h-1 for BP NS/Pt (3 wt%)/P25. Moreover, a comparative study was made to examine the effect of thickness of BP NS on the photocatalytic H2 evolution. Femtosecond time-resolved diffused reflectance spectroscopy (fs-TRDRS) was integrated together with photoelectrochemical measurement to shed the light on the importance of charge transfer and separation, confirming that decreasing the thickness of BP NS enhances electron injection from BP NS to TMC to increase the photocatalytic activity.

Platinum-enhanced amorphous TiO2-filled mesoporous TiO2 crystals for the photocatalytic mineralization of tetracycline hydrochloride
摘要： The adsorption ability and photoactivity of a photocatalyst largely determine the mineralization efficiency of antibiotics. Herein, aiming to enhance the adsorption and mineralization of antibiotics, we constructed a hierarchical porous core-shell structure by filling amorphous TiO2 in the pores of Pt-doped mesoporous TiO2 crystals (MCs). The physical–chemical properties of the prepared samples were investigated by surface photovoltage spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscope, etc. Adsorption and photocatalysis experiments were conducted with tetracycline hydrochloride as the model antibiotic. Pt nanoparticles doped at the interface of the rutile-amorphous homojunction remarkably enhanced the built-in electric field. The enhanced electric field increased the hole transfer to the catalyst surface, and the Pt doping treatment promoted the growth of amorphous TiO2 into the mesopores of the MCs. The optimization increased the surface area of the catalyst without increasing the thickness of the amorphous TiO2 shell, thereby reducing the charge migration distance from the core–shell interface to the catalyst surface. The adsorption amount and mineralization efficiency of tetracycline hydrochloride for the porous core-shell composite were 6.7 and 3.8 times of those for MCs, respectively.

Precursor-reforming strategy induced g-C3N4 microtubes with spatial anisotropic charge separation established by conquering hydrogen bond for enhanced photocatalytic H2-production performance
摘要： Precursor-reforming strategy induced graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with different morphologies for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) evolution activity is highly desirable. Herein, g-C3N4 microtubes (mg-C3N4) with adjustable closure degree of microtube orifice and spatial anisotropic charge separation are established by conquering hydrogen bond during thermally exfoliate precursor. Compared to the bulk g-C3N4 (bg-C3N4) and ultrathin g-C3N4 (ug-C3N4), the tubular structure endows mg-C3N4 with spatial anisotropic charge separation that accelerates transfer of charge carriers. As expected, the photocatalytic H2 evolution (PHE) activity of mg-C3N4 has been obviously enhanced. Particularly, the mg-C3N4-24 shows the best PHE activity (957.9 μmol h-1g-1), which is over 18.72 and 3.77 times higher than the bg-C3N4 and ug-C3N4, respectively. In addition, selective photo-deposition experiment results reveal a charge carriers migration behavior that photoproduction electrons migrate to the outer shell and holes prefer to move onto the inner shell of mg-C3N4, thus achieving efficient spatial anisotropic charge separation. We firmly believe that the work presents significant advancement for the design of other materials by precursor-reforming strategy.

Induced Charge Fluctuations in Semiconductor Detectors with a Cylindrical Geometry
摘要： Now, compound semiconductors are very appealing for hard X-ray room-temperature detectors for medical and astrophysical applications. Despite the attractive properties of compound semiconductors, such as high atomic number, high density, wide band gap, low chemical reactivity and long-term stability, poor hole and electron mobility-lifetime products degrade the energy resolution of these detectors. The main objective of the present study is in development of a mathematical model of the process of the charge induction in a cylindrical geometry with accounting for the charge carrier trapping. The formulae for the moments of the distribution function of the induced charge and the formulae for the mean amplitude and the variance of the signal at the output of the semiconductor detector with a cylindrical geometry were derived. It was shown that the power series expansions of the detector amplitude and the variance in terms of the inverse bias voltage allow determining the Fano factor, electron mobility lifetime product, and the nonuniformity level of the trap density of the semiconductor material.

Directing energy into a sub-wavelength non-resonant metasurface across the visible spectrum.
摘要： Group 10 metals (i.e. Ni, Pd, Pt) catalyze a wide range of chemical transformations but the weak interaction of their nanoparticles with light hinders their development for photocatalytic applications. Conversely, coinage metals nanoparticles (particularly Ag and Au) exhibit intense localized surface plasmon resonances in the visible spectrum, but are relatively unreactive, limiting the scope and efficiency of their photochemical processes. Here we demonstrate the design, fabrication and characterization of a new structure containing a single layer of Pd nanoparticles that absorbs up to >98% of visible light. Furthermore, the wavelength of absorption is controlled throughout the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum by modulating the thickness of a supporting metal oxide film. We show that the absorbed energy is concentrated in the nanoparticle layer, crucial for energy conversion applications including photocatalysis and photothermal processes.

Two-dimensional Kagome Lattices Made of Hetero Triangulenes are Dirac Semimetals or Single-Band Semiconductors
摘要： Here we discuss, based on first-principles calculations, two-dimensional (2D) kagome lattices composed of polymerized hetero-triangulene units, planar molecules with D3h point group containing a B, C or N center atom and CH2, O or CO bridges. We explore the design principles for a functional lattice made of 2D polymers, which involves control of π-conjugation and electronic structure of the knots. The former is achieved by the chemical potential of the bridge groups, while the latter is controlled by the heteroatom. The resulting 2D kagome polymers have a characteristic electronic structure with a Dirac band sandwiched by two flat bands and are either Dirac semimetals (C center), or single-band semiconductors - materials with either exclusively electrons (B center) or holes (N center) as charge carriers of very high mobility, reaching values of up to ~8×103 cm2V-1s-1, which is comparable to crystalline silicon.

[IEEE 2020 Moscow Workshop on Electronic and Networking Technologies (MWENT) - Moscow, Russia (2020.3.11-2020.3.13)] 2020 Moscow Workshop on Electronic and Networking Technologies (MWENT) - Measurement of the Dynamic Characteristics of Separate Spectral Bands of the LEDs Electroluminescence Spectra
摘要： A method for measuring the 3 dB frequency of the full modulation of separate spectral components of electroluminescence spectrum of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is described. The method consists in passing through the LED a series of current pulses having the shape of a meander, and the emission spectrum of the LED is measured by a spectrometer OceanOptics USB2000+ in the mode of signal accumulation. As the pulse frequency increases, the intensity of all spectral components of the LED emission spectrum decreases. The frequency at which the optical signal decreases 1.19 times relative to the level measured at a low frequency is taken as the 3 dB frequency of the separate spectral component of the LED electroluminescence spectrum. By using the pulse signal it is possible to increase the sensitivity of the measuring means compared to the measuring means using the harmonic test signal. A description of the hardware-software complex implementing said measurement method is presented. The results of testing the measuring complex by the electroluminescence spectra of commercial green InGaN-based LEDs at the current range of 10-5...10-2 A and the current frequency range of 0.001...10 MHz are presented. The developed hardware-software complex and the method for estimating the spectral recombination parameters of heterojunction LEDs can be used both for the purpose of diagnosing the quality of LEDs and in developing structural and technological solutions for creating new light-emitting structures.

Photoluminescencea??Based Characterization of Halide Perovskites for Photovoltaics
摘要： Photoluminescence spectroscopy is a widely applied characterization technique for semiconductor materials in general and halide perovskite solar cell materials in particular. It can give direct information on the recombination kinetics and processes as well as the internal electrochemical potential of free charge carriers in single semiconductor layers, layer stacks with transport layers, and complete solar cells. The correct evaluation and interpretation of photoluminescence requires the consideration of proper excitation conditions, calibration and application of the appropriate approximations to the rather complex theory, which includes radiative recombination, non-radiative recombination, interface recombination, charge transfer, and photon recycling. In this article, an overview is given of the theory and application to specific halide perovskite compositions, illustrating the variables that should be considered when applying photoluminescence analysis in these materials.

Amplified and Multicolor Emission from Films and Interfacial Layers of Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals
摘要： Lead halide perovskites are promising for energy harvesting and lighting applications. We show amplified emission from films of organic-inorganic or all inorganic lead halide perovskite nanocrystals. Also, multicolor emission is detected from interfacial layers of chloride and bromide perovskites. While amplified emission originates from spatial confinement of manifold charge carriers in films, multicolor emission emanates from interfacial ion exchanged layers. In a film, the amplified emission is averaged over a large number of nanocrystals, which prevents us from detecting any spectral narrowing. Conversely, amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and spectral narrowing are detected from an isolated perovskite microcrystal. Interestingly, under low intensity excitation, a perovskite nanocrystal film shows unusually delayed emission, which becomes extremely fast and spatially confined at higher intensities of excitation light. By precisely detecting photoluminescence from an irradiated area and outside, we reveal the migration as well as confinement of photogenerated charge carriers in the film. The migration of charge carriers is more efficient in a film of organic-inorganic perovskites than all-inorganic perovskites.

Graphene Photonics || Electronic Properties
摘要： The ?ow of free charge carriers, i.e., electrons in the conduction band or holes in the valence band, in a semiconductor that is subject to an electric ?eld is accelerated by the electric field but is hindered by scattering events. In a semiconductor, free carriers accelerate in the presence of an electric field. The randomly distributed scattering centers, such as impurities and defects, act as a counter force that decelerates and de?ects the carriers. When the steady state is eventually reached under a constant electric field, a constant ?ow of carriers is achieved. In graphene, by contrast, charge carriers on the Dirac cone have a constant speed and do not accelerate or decelerate in response to the electric field or the scattering centers; instead, the effect of the electric field is rather to align the motion of carriers to the direction of the electric field, and the scattering centers act as a source to disturb this alignment process. This process is well captured by the Boltzmann transport equation, which has successfully described many statistical behaviors of carriers in metals and semiconductors. The purpose of this chapter is to describe the electronic properties of graphene, starting from the Boltzmann transport equation.
