Orthorhombic In 0.5 Sc 1.5 Mo 3 O 12 thin films have been synthesized using the sol-gel spin coating . Influences of post-annealing temperatures on crystal structure, morphology, negative thermal expansion (NTE) and optical performances of the thin films were studied using XRD , SEM, XPS, high-temperature XRD and UV–Vis–NIR spectrophotometer. XRD and SEM results show that as-prepared thin film is in an amorphous state with a smooth and dense surface. Orthorhombic In 0.5 Sc 1.5 Mo 3 O 12 thin films were obtained after post-annealing in 550–750 °C. The higher the annealing temperature in 550–750 °C, the better the crystallinity of orthorhombic In 0.5 Sc 1.5 Mo 3 O 12 thin films . In addition, the grain size of the In 0.5 Sc 1.5 Mo 3 O 12 thin film also grows as the annealing temperature increases. The resulting orthorhombic In 0.5 Sc 1.5 Mo 3 O 12 thin films exhibit anisotropic NTE. Its volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is −3.44 × 10 −6 °C −1 , while the CTEs in a -, b - and c -axis directions are −4.70 × 10 −6 °C −1 , 5.37 × 10 −6 °C −1 , and -4.10 × 10 −6 °C −1 in 25–700 °C, respectively. In addition, the transmittance of orthorhombic In 0.5 Sc 1.5 Mo 3 O 12 thin films post-annealed at 750 °C is around 87.75 %–95.03 %.

Ferroelectric thin films with giant room-temperature electrocaloric effect (ECE) could be very useful in design of solid-state refrigeration devices. Here, lead-free Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15-x Sr x Zr 0.1 Ti 0.9 O 3 (BCZT-xSr, 0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) thin films are successfully prepared on the substrates (Pt/Ti/SiO 2 /Si) via sol-gel route, and the effect of the Sr substitution on the structure, electric properties and ECE of the films were investigated. The dielectric analyses show that the rhombohedral-tetragonal phase transition temperature (T R-T ) move to a higher temperature and the tetragonal-cubic phase transition temperature (T m ) shift to a lower temperature with increasing Sr content, and finally the T R-T peaks merge into the T m peaks at room temperature. The BCZT-0.05Sr film presents a giant ECE with ΔT = 27.1 K and ΔS = 30.6 J K −1 kg −1 at 800 kV cm -1 near room temperature (301 K). The giant ΔT benefits from a multiphase coexisting region with successive R-T and T-C phase transition character near room temperature. These results indicate that the lead-free Sr-doped BCZT thin film is an attractive material for application in ECE refrigeration devices.

Photovoltaic (PV) modules are not only an opto-electrical system, but also opto-thermal one, where the optical, electrical, and thermodynamic domains are strongly coupled. The means to suppress both light and heat losses in PV modules remains undeveloped. Herein, a universal route to realize both radiative cooling and light management via the ultra-broadband versatile textures is proposed, originating from the interaction with the visible, near-infrared, and mid-infrared electromagnetic waves (EMWs) via geometric, diffractive, and subwavelength optical effects. The sol–gel imprinted ultra-broadband textures exhibited a near-unity infrared emissivity over 0.96 at the atmospheric window between 8 to 13 μm for radiative cooling, and a solar transmittance and haze above 0.94 and 0.95 at the wavelengths from 350 to 750 nm, respectively, for light management. Applying the ultra-broadband textures imprinted glass to silicon PV modules as an encapsulant cover, the short-circuit current and conversion efficiency were increased by 5.12 and 3.13% in relative terms, respectively. The fabrication of such ultra-broadband versatile textures was photolithography-free, scalable, and PV industry compatible, which provided a cost-effective, long-term durable, and energy-efficient means to both light and thermal management through ultra-broadband matter-EMW interaction not only in PV modules, but also various opto-electro-thermal devices.

The electrocaloric (EC) effect cooling technique of environmentally friendly lead-free thin film materials driven by electric fields has recently gained tremendous attention due to the urgent demand for microelectronic and integrated circuit refrigeration devices. However, the widespread use of lead-free materials in EC devices is seriously hindered due to the small electrocaloric temperature change (ΔT) within a narrow operation temperature span (T span ) near room temperature. Here, lead-free Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15 Zr 0.1 Ti 0.9-x Sn x O 3 (BCZT-xSn, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.03) thin films were prepared on substrates (Pt/Ti/SiO 2 /Si) via a sol-gel route. The BCZT-0.02Sn thin film presents an excellent EC effect (ΔT = 32.74 K, ΔS = 37.18 J kg −1 K −1 ) and large EC strength (ΔT/ΔE = 0.033 K cm kV −1 , ΔS/ΔE = 0.037 J cm K −1 kg −1 kV −1 ) over a wide T span (∼26 K) under 1000 kV cm −1 near room temperature. The giant ΔT is mainly attributed to the emergence of an intermediate O phase and the formation of a multiphase (R, O and T phases) coexistence structure at room temperature, while the diffuse phase transition behavior is responsible for the wide T span . Our study provides a new idea for developing environment-friendly EC materials with an excellent room-temperature ΔT over a broad operational temperature region.

Mn-doped ZnO (MZO) films were prepared on glass substrates using sol–gel dip-coating technology. The microstructural, morphological, optical and photoelectric properties of MZO films were investigated at different withdrawal speeds (WS: 20, 40, 60 and 80 mm s−1). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that all the films obtained were polycrystalline with a hexagonal structure, and the highest crystallinity of MZO films was observed as films were deposited at 40 mm s−1. The UV-Vis spectra revealed that the average optical transmittance of all samples was over 60% and the energy band gap of films decreased from 3.616 to 3.254 eV with the increase in withdrawal speed. The formed Au/MZO/Au photodetectors (PDs) indicate that a device prepared at 40 mm s−1 shows superior properties both in response speed and detection capability, and the rise time is 1.871 s and fall time is 3.309 s at 365 nm for 3 V bias and the detectivity (D*) reaches ∼1.7 × 1010 Jones. Moreover, the responsivity of PDs is also affected by the distance between Au electrodes and external bias. This research provides a simple way to fabricate the UV PDs based on MZO films with faster response and higher detectivity.

ReNiO3 (Re = Pr, Sm, Eu) solid electrolytes were prepared by the sol–gel method, which were sintered in a pure oxygen atmosphere of 20 MPa at 1000 °C for 24 hours. The DC resistivities of the three materials in air and in a hydrogen-containing atmosphere were tested respectively. The resistivities in the hydrogen-containing atmosphere were about 102, 104, and 105 times higher than those in air and XPS analysis showed that after 10%H2–Ar treatment, the proportion of Ni2+ of PrNiO3, SmNiO3 and EuNiO3 increased successively. The proton transport number of PrNiO3 was lower than 0.5 at 50–500 °C, and SmNiO3 and EuNiO3 were almost pure proton conductors below 200 °C. The conductivities of SmNiO3 and EuNiO3 were 1.08 × 10−4 S cm−1 and 1.83 × 10−5 S cm−1 at 200 °C in 5%H2–Ar. The hydrogen sensing properties of SmNiO3 and EuNiO3 show that the measurement results of the two materials were accurate in the range of 0.5–10% H2.

Orthorhombic Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 films have been successfully prepared via spin coating technique followed by annealing at 500–750 °C. The phase composition, microstructure, morphology and negative thermal behavior of the synthesized Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 films were investigated. XRD and XPS analysis indicate that as-deposited film is amorphous . Orthorhombic Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 films can be prepared after post-annealing at 500–750 °C for 1 h. The crystallinity of Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 films gradually improved with the increase of post-annealing temperature. SEM analysis shows as-deposited film is smooth and compact, and the grain size of Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 film grows up as the post-annealing temperature increases. Variable temperature XRD analysis demonstrates that the synthesized orthorhombic Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 films show stable thermo-chemical and anisotropic NTE property in 25–700 °C. The corresponding coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) of the orthorhombic Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 film in a, b and c directions are −6.68 × 10 −6 °C −1 , 5.08 × 10 −6 °C −1 and −4.76 × 10 −6 °C −1 , respectively. The whole unit cell of the orthorhombic Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 film shrinks and the volumetric CTE of the Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 thin film is −6.36 × 10 −6 °C −1 , and the linear CTE is about −2.12 × 10 −6 °C −1 ( α v = 3 α l ).

B-site cobalt-doped perovskite oxide BaNiO3 oxygen sorbents have been synthesized by an EDTA sol–gel method and further applied for producing oxygen. BaCoxNi1−xO3−δ oxygen sorbents were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cyclic oxygen adsorption/desorption experiments. Results showed that BaCo0.6Ni0.4O3−δ features higher production amounts of oxygen among the candidates. The operating factors of oxygen releasing performance were investigated in detail including adsorption temperature, desorption temperature, adsorption time, CO2 flow rate and CO2 partial pressure. It was concluded that the temperature and CO2 flow rate are the main reasons affecting the performance of perovskite oxygen sorbents. The optimal operating parameters of oxygen releasing performance for BaCo0.6Ni0.4O3−δ were as follows: adsorption temperature was 850 °C, desorption temperature was 850 °C, air adsorption time was 30 min, CO2 flow was 200 ml min−1 and the ratio of CO2/N2 was 100 : 0. The oxygen production amount of BaCo0.6Ni0.4O3−δ was 49.5 mg g−1 under the optimal reaction conditions. Finally, multiple cycles demonstrated that BaCo0.6Ni0.4O3−δ displays higher stability and regeneration capacity, which is the key factor providing a stable O2/CO2 gas stream for oxyfuel combustion application.

Reasonable structure design and component selection are crucial to electrochemical performance of supercapacitor electrode materials. Sodium alginate (SA), with a novel structure which can immobilize multivalent metal cations, was used to coordinate with Fe3+ to fabricate a carbon and Fe3O4 composite by an easy sol–gel method. Due to the chelation effect between SA and Fe3+, the carbon composite was constructed into a two-dimensional sheet-like structure, and the Fe3O4 particles were nanosize and homogenously distributed on the surface of the carbon nanosheet. As an electrode material for supercapacitors, the composite electrode showed a high specific capacitance of 550 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 in the potential range from −1.1 to 0 V, and excellent cycling stability of 89% retention after 2000 cycles. The enhanced electrochemical performance could be attributed to the abundant exposed active sites, producing high pseudocapacitance, to the two-dimensional nanosheet structure, facilitating electrolyte transport and to the strong attachment strength, improving cycle life. This environmentally-friendly design can provide an alternative to existing methods, resulting in the development of a two-dimensional carbon/metal oxide composite for energy storage devices.

Zn x Al 2 O 4 :Cr 3+ (0.8 ≤ x ≤ 4) phosphors with spinel structure were prepared by using sol-gel method. The structure, morphology and photoluminescence properties were analyzed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and photoluminescence (PL). The spinel structure of ZnAl 2 O 4 was formed for all samples, and hexagonal structure of ZnO appeared in the powders with x ≥ 1.1. The results of XRD, SEM and TEM showed that the crystallinity of Zn x Al 2 O 4 :Cr 3+ phosphors was improved with increasing the value of x . The PL spectra showed a series of sharp emission peaks ranging from 650 nm to 730 nm assigned to spin-forbidden 2 E g → 4 A 2 g transition of Cr 3+ ions in spinel lattices. The most intense emission was observed in Zn 1.2 Al 2 O 4 :Cr 3+ powders, and the results of EPR showed that this enhancement resulted from the best dispersity of Cr 3+ ions in Zn x Al 2 O 4 lattices.
