Owing to the high theoretical capacity, multi-electron reactions and semimetallic characteristics, metal tellurides present promising potential for sodium-ion storage. Yet structural collapse and capacity degradation remain inevitable. In this work, a structural confinement strategy was employed to fabricate zinc-telluride/cobalt-telluride heterostructures (ZnTe/CoTe 2 @NC) that is constrained by nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) derived from a metal-organic framework (MOF) and reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs), via template self-assembly followed by in-situ tellurization. The CNTs crosslink with the MOF precursor to yield a dual-restricted architecture that suppresses nanoparticles agglomeration and enhances cycling stability. In-situ and ex-situ techniques elucidate the “alloy-conversion” reaction mechanism and pseudocapacitive sodium storage behavior of the ZnTe/CoTe 2 @NC anodes. While the density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal the electronic structure modulation underlying their enhanced conductivity. These favorable electrochemical features arise from the synergistic effects of the Zn-Co heterointerface, the highly conductive carbon network, and the abundant defect sites introduced by nitrogen doping, which mitigate sluggish ion transport and structural degradation. As a result, the ZnTe/CoTe 2 @NC anode delivers a high-rate capacity of 82.1 mAh·g −1 at 20.0 A g −1 and retains 106.1 mAh·g −1 at 1.0 A g −1 after 5000 cycles. This study offers a rational confinement strategy and provides insight into designing electrochemically durable telluride heterostructure anodes.

Pressure is the core of high-pressure science and technology, and the accuracy of pressure calibration is of much importance for high-pressure experiments and production. Although the pressure limit of the large volume press (LVP) continues to increase, there are no well solutions for in situ pressure calibration. In this study, using in situ high-pressure electrical performance measurement technology, two ideal calibration standard materials in powder conductors, cadmium phosphide (Cd 3 P 2 ) and zinc telluride (ZnTe) with stable physical and chemical properties and obvious resistance change, are applied to pressure calibration in the LVP. In situ high-pressure synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction was used to verify the phase transition pressure point of Cd 3 P 2 . The introduction of powder conductors for pressure calibration commits to establish a pressure system, which is safer, more stable to operate, and more accurate in experimental measurements for the LVP.

Lead sulfide (PbS) colloidal quantum dot (CQD) photodetectors are promising devices for low-cost, high-performance, and large-area infrared imaging. For integration with readout integrated circuits (ROICs), top illumination is urgently required to ensure simultaneous light absorption and signal acquisition. However, the traditional best-performing p-on-n PbS CQD photodetectors rely on opaque top metal contacts, thus limiting the development of top-illuminated imagers. Herein, we addressed this issue by introducing a bifunctional ZnTe layer. The presence of the ZnTe layer─while allowing efficient hole collection─serves as a protective layer for the CQD layer during subsequent transparent electrode deposition. The resultant PbS CQD photodetectors based on the ZnTe layer show a specific detectivity of 2.09 × 1012 Jones at ≈1300 nm, representing approximately a 5-fold improvement over the control device (4.30 × 1011 Jones). This performance is comparable to that of the best PbS CQD photodetectors reported at similar wavelengths. The advantages of this architecture are further demonstrated by building a PbS CQD imager with a pixel array of 256 × 256, verifying the compatibility of photodetectors with ROICs.

Photodetectors based on HgTe colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are expected to enable the next generation of infrared detection technology due to their low-cost preparation, widely tunable absorption, and direct integration with Si-based electronics. However, the fabrication of HgTe CQD photodiode focal plane arrays (FPAs) has been hampered by the creation of rectifying homojunctions through delicate doping modulation and the time-consuming layer-by-layer assembly of the QD photoactive layer. Herein we address these challenges by exploring energetically favored ZnO/HgTe/ZnTe double heterojunctions (DH), and by forming colloidally stable HgTe ink that enables one-step direct film deposition. The DH HgTe CQD photodiode operates over a broad spectral range from 400 to 1800 nm, comparable to that of uncooled InGaAs detectors, with a record peak EQE of 56% at 1600 nm. A short-wave infrared (SWIR) imager has been finally demonstrated through monolithic integration with a CMOS readout integrated circuit (ROIC) comprising 640 × 512 pixels. The DH architecture is beneficial for the construction of high-performance HgTe CQD photodiodes compatible with silicon chip integration.

Colloidal semiconductor magic-size clusters (MSCs) remain poorly understood with regard to their formation and transformation. We show that ZnTe MSC-324 (with an optical absorption peak at 324 nm) and MSC-398 evolve in reactions of Zn and Te precursors, while CdTe MSC-371 and MSC-481 develop in reactions of Cd and Te precursors. We propose that MSCs evolve from their precursor compounds (PCs). Chemical self-assembly results in the formation of ZnTe PC-324 and CdTe PC-371, which, respectively, transform to ZnTe PC-398 and CdTe PC-481 via monomer addition. When the ZnTe MSCs are mixed with Cd(OAc)2/OLA (cadmium acetate in oleylamine), the CdTe MSCs also evolve. We further hypothesize that cation exchange occurs on the ZnTe PCs, resulting in CdTe PCs that transform to their counterpart CdTe MSCs. Moreover, ZnTe PC/MSC-324 and CdTe PC/MSC-371 have similar Zn/Cd-to-Te stoichiometries, as do ZnTe PC/MSC-398 and CdTe PC/MSC-481. Accordingly, the Te precursor quantitatively dictates the coassembly of Zn or Cd and Te precursors as well as the monomer addition. The present findings advance the understanding of the initial PC formation, PC-to-PC transformation, PC-to-MSC isomerization, and PC-to-monomer fragmentation.

Exploring novel NH3 sensing materials is crucial in chemical industries, fertilizing plants and medical fields. Herein, for the first time, the NH3 sensing behaviors and sensing mechanisms of two dimensional (2D) ZnTe monolayer are systematically investigated by density functional theory calculations. It is shown that 2D ZnTe monolayer exhibits excellent selective NH3 sensing properties. (220) crystal facet of ZnTe possesses a higher NH3 adsorption energy (−1.59 eV) and a larger charge transfer (0.195e) than (111) and (311) crystal facets. The positive charges could enhance NH3 sensing while the negative charges could reduce NH3 sensing. The NH3 adsorption strengths are significantly improved in O2 atmosphere while it is negligibly affected by N2 atmosphere and H2O atmosphere. Moreover, the presence of Zn vacancy and Fe, Co, Ni doping could improve the NH3 sensing of ZnTe. Additionally, the experimental results confirms that ZnTe possesses a low detection limit of 0.1 ppm NH3. These theoretical predictions and experimental results present a wide range of possibilities for the further development of ZnTe monolayer in NH3 sensing fields.
