Spectroscopic monitoring of laser blown powder directed energy deposition of Alloy 718
摘要： Experimental explorations of a spectrometer system used for in-process monitoring of the laser blown powder directed energy deposition of Alloy 718 is presented. Additive manufacturing of metals using this laser process experiences repeated heating and cooling cycles which will influence the final microstructure and chemical composition at every given point in the built. The spectrometer system disclosed, under certain process conditions, spectral lines that indicate vaporisation of chromium. Post process scanning electron microscope energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis of the deposited beads confirmed a reduction of chromium. Since the chromium concentration in Alloy 718 is correlated to corrosion resistance, this result encourages to further investigations including corrosion tests.

A novel Ag nanoparticles/TiO2 nanowires-based photodetector and glucose concentration detection
摘要： A unique vapour transport cum glancing angle deposition (VT-GLAD) technique was employed to fabricate titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanowires (NWs). The NWs were grown and assembled to form the clusters. Both brookite (412) and rutile (002) phase for TiO2 was obtained from X-ray diffraction (XRD). The d spacing of ~ 1.37 ? was calculated from the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of TiO2 NWs, which corresponds to (002) crystal plane. The silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) on TiO2 NWs were grown using thermal evaporation cum GLAD technique. The presence of Ag NPs on the TiO2 NWs enhanced the photoconduction as compared to bare TiO2 NWs device. The maximum photosensitivity of the Ag NPs/TiO2 NWs based device was recorded ~ 1.6 times compared to the bare TiO2 NWs based device at ? 2.5 V. The Ag NPs containing device was highly UV sensitive and maximum responsivity for the device was calculated to be ~ 2.3 A/W at 370 nm. The device also possessed high responsivity rejection (RR) ratio of ~ 6.5 between UV (370 nm) and visible (450 nm) light. The Ag NPs decorated TiO2 NWs based detector also showed response to white light. The different concentration of glucose into deionised (DI) water-based solution was detected precisely under white light illumination. The normalised (light/dark) detector current/glucose concentration value was decreased from ~ 0.19 to ~ 0.05 at ? 2.5 V, with an increase in glucose concentration into the solution from 40 mg/dl to 200 mg/dl.

Flexible and Ultrasensitive Piezoelectric Composites Based on Highly (00l)‐Assembled BaTiO <sub/>3</sub> Microplatelets for Wearable Electronics Application
摘要： Piezoelectric wearable electronics with flexibility and high sensitivity have received increasing attention in the fields of health monitoring, flexible robots, and artificial intelligence. Here, a flexible organic–inorganic hybrid composite for wearable electronics application based on (00l)-aligned BaTiO3 (BT) single-crystal microplatelets is prepared by layer-by-layer self-assembly technology. For the polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (P(VDF-TrFE))/BT single-crystal microplatelets composite film, the sensitivity is nearly 20 times higher than that of its counterparts of P(VDF-TrFE)/BT microparticles composite film and pure P(VDF-TrFE) film. The orderly alignment of BT microplatelets also has been found advantageous to the strength of the composite film. The tensile strength is up to 204.3 MPa even at a high inorganic phase content of 53.8 wt% in P(VDF-TrFE)/BT single-crystal microplatelets composite film, which is four times that of pure P(VDF-TrFE) film. Moreover, the flexible piezoelectric wearable device based on P(VDF-TrFE)/BT single-crystal microplatelets film effectively provides detailed information for monitoring human activities such as pronunciation, frequency, and waveform of pulse beating, and motion states. This high sensitivity, high strength, and flexible piezoelectric composite provides much potential on the applications of wearable equipments and health monitoring devices.

Architectural Design of Photodetector Based on 2D (MoS <sub/>2</sub> ?Nanosheets)/1D (WS <sub/>2</sub> ?Nanorods) Heterostructure Synthesized by Facile Hydrothermal Method
摘要： Hydrothermal technique is utilized to synthesize 2D/1D heterostructure based on MoS2 (nanosheets)/WS2 (nanorods) for photodetector application. The sensor was fabricated by drop cast technique. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), UV-Visible (Uv-Vis), Raman and X-Ray Photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were performed to characterize the synthesized sample. The optical sensor based on heterostructure was studied as a function of laser wavelength (λex): 635 nm (red), 785 nm (infra-red) and 1064 nm (near infra-red) and power of illuminated laser sources. The device exhibits photoresponsivity in a broadband range from the visible to the near-infrared (600–1065 nm, yield a photoresponsivity (Rp) = 15 μA/W and high speci?c detectivity (D?) = 24 × 106 jones at λex = 785 nm). The photoresponsive characteristics of MoS2/WS2 heterostructure hold the principle of simple power law.

Facile Synthesis of Luffa Sponge Activated Carbon Fiber Based Carbon Quantum Dots with Green Fluorescence and Their Application in Cr(VI) Determination
摘要： Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were prepared by a chemical oxidation method using lu?a sponge based activated carbon ?ber as the raw material. The obtained CQDs were well characterized. The ?uorescence quenching e?ect of Cr(VI) ion on CQDs was investigated. The results show that the addition of Cr(VI) changes the intensity of the ultraviolet characteristic absorption peak of CQDs, and causes static quenching of the ?uorescence of CQDs. With the increase in the Cr(VI) concentration, the ?uorescence of CQDs was gradually extinguished linearly.

Ferroelectric Enhanced Performance of a GeSn/Ge Dual-Nanowire Photodetector
摘要： GeSn offers a reduced bandgap than Ge and has been utilized in Si-based infrared photodetectors with extended cutoff wavelength. However, traditional GeSn/Ge heterostructure usually consists defects like misfit dislocations due to the lattice mismatch issue. The defects with the large feature size of photodetector fabricated on bulk GeSn/Ge heterostructure induces considerable dark current. Here, we demonstrate a flexible GeSn/Ge dual-nanowire (NW) structure, in which the strain relaxation is achieved by the elastic deformation without introducing defects and the feature dimension is naturally at nanoscale. Photodetector with low dark current can be built on GeSn/Ge dual-NW, which exhibits an extended detection wavelength beyond 2 μm and the enhanced responsivity compared to Ge NW. Moreover, the dark current can be further suppressed by the depletion effect from ferroelectric polymer side gate. Our work suggests the flexible GeSn/Ge dual-NW may open an avenue for Si-compatible optoelectronic circuits operating in the short-wavelength infrared range.

Transparent Platinum Counter Electrode Prepared by Polyol Reduction for Bifacial, Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
摘要： Pt catalytic nanoparticles on F-doped SnO2/glass substrates were prepared by polyol reduction below 200 °C. The polyol reduction resulted in better transparency of the counter electrode and high power-conversion efficiency (PCE) of the resultant dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) compared to conventional thermal reduction. The PCEs of the DSSCs with 5 μm-thick TiO2 photoanodes were 6.55% and 5.01% under front and back illumination conditions, respectively. The back/front efficiency ratio is very promising for efficient bifacial DSSCs.

Solvent Effects on the Interface and Film Integrity of Solution-Processed ZnO Electron Transfer Layers for Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes
摘要： Solution-processed ZnO nanoparticle thin film is widely used as the electron transport layers (ETLs) in quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs). While the ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) synthesis process has been thoroughly optimized, very few studies have focused on exploring how the solvents for dispersing the NPs affect the film-forming process, which has profound effects on the film quality and functionality as ETLs. Herein, we present a comprehensive investigation on the impact of the dispersing agent on the materials and carrier transport properties of spin-coated ZnO NP thin films. The first four members of the alkanol family, which show considerably different viscosities and volatilities, were used in this study. ZnO NP thin films deposited with different alcohols were used as the ETLs of the QLED structure and the optoelectronic performances of the devices are compared. Alcohols with high viscosity are found to cause NP agglomerations which roughen the film surface and lead to significant leakage current. Nano-cracks in the ZnO NP film are observed when a highly volatile solvent is used due to the vigorous bursts of vapor during solvent evaporation. Our results show that proper solvent can improve the surface roughness and compactness of the solution-processed ZnO films and lead to a 30% difference in the current efficiency of QLEDs. The findings here clearly indicate the important roles of the dispersing agent in the formation of high-quality NP-based thin films, which can be an important guidance for achieving high performances in QLEDs as well as a variety of solution-based devices.

Automatic Mapping of Center Line of Railway Tracks using Global Navigation Satellite System, Inertial Measurement Unit and Laser Scanner
摘要： Up-to-date geodatasets on railway infrastructure are valuable resources for the field of transportation. This paper investigates three methods for mapping the center lines of railway tracks using heterogeneous sensor data: (i) conditional selection of satellite navigation (GNSS) data, (ii) a combination of inertial measurements (IMU data) and GNSS data in a Kalman filtering and smoothing framework and (iii) extraction of center lines from laser scanner data. Several combinations of the methods are compared with a focus on mapping in tree-covered areas. The center lines of the railway tracks are extracted by applying these methods to a test dataset collected by a road-rail vehicle. The guard rails in the test area were also extracted during the center line detection process. The combination of methods (i) and (ii) gave the best result for the track on which the measurement vehicle had moved, mapping almost 100% of the track. The combination of methods (ii) and (iii) and the combination of all three methods gave the best result for the other parallel tracks, mapping between 25% and 80%. The mean perpendicular distance of the mapped center lines from the reference data was 1.49 meters.

A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Insights into the Synergistic Effect of Cerium Doping and Oxygen Vacancies into BaZrO <sub/>3-δ</sub> Hollow Nanospheres for Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production
摘要： The long-standing debate over the influence of oxygen vacancies and various dopants has been the center point in perovskite-based compounds for their photocatalytic applications. Hydrothermally synthesized Cerium doped BaZrO3 (BZO) hollow nanospheres has been systematically studied by experimental and theoretical calculations to understand the effect of Cerium doping and oxygen vacancies on the photocatalytic properties. Compounds synthesized by a template-free route were composed of hollow nanospheres generated by Ostwald ripening of spherical nanospheres, which were formed by agglomeration of nanoparticles. The high alkaline condition and high temperature during the hydrothermal condition may lead to the formation of local disorders and oxygen vacancies in the compounds, confirmed by ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis and density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations. Combination of oxygen vacancies and progressive doping of Ce onto BZO, BaZr1–xCexO3 (x = 0.00 – 0.04), creates additional energy levels stipulated by vacancy defects and Ce mixed valance states within the band gap of BZO thereby reducing its band gap. The photocatalytic efficacy of the compounds has been examined by photo-driven H2 generation concomitant with oxidation of a sacrificial donor. In this study, BaZr0.97Ce0.03O3 shows the highest efficiency (823 μmol h-1 g-1) with an apparent quantum yield (AQY) of 6% in photocatalytic H2 production among all five synthesized samples. The data obtained from the UV–Vis DRS, XPS, ESR analysis and DFT calculations, the synergistic effect of decreasing the band gap due to Ce doping and the presence of Ce (III)/Ce (IV) pairs along with oxygen vacancies and lattice distortions could be the reasons behind the enhanced photocatalytic efficacy of BaZr1–xCexO3 (x = 0.00 – 0.04) under UV–Visible light.
