The back contact adhesion is the important factor of the microstructural performance which can determine the optoelectronic properties of the kesterite-based solar cells. Here, we present a rational and effective strategy to significantly enhance the back contact adhesion of Cu 2 (Zn,Cd)Sn(S,Se) 4 (CZCTSSe) absorber layers by insetting the appropriate thickness carbon-doping CZCTS thin films . We chose the oleylamine as the carbon-doping reagent which can generate a small amount of carbon in the annealing process . The suitable thickness carbon-doping CZCTS films can significantly change the crystal growth mechanism of CZCTSSe absorber layers, and eliminate the holes in the back contact. The efficiency of CZCTSSe solar cells fabricated by insetting the appropriate thickness carbon-doping CZCTS films is above 7%, and shows the excellent repeatability and long-term air stability compared with the control devices.

Development of cost-effective and efficient electrochemical catalysts for the fuel cells electrode is of prime importance to emerging renewable energy technologies . Here, we report for the first time the novel La 0.9 Ca 0.1 Fe 0.9 Nb 0.1 O 3−δ (LCFNb) perovskite with good potentiality for the electrode material of the symmetrical solid oxide fuel cells (SSOFC). The Sc 0.2 Zr 0.8 O 2−δ (SSZ) electrolyte supported symmetrical cells with impregnated LCFNb and LCFNb/SDC (Ce 0.8 Sm 0.2 O 2−δ ) electrodes achieve relatively high power outputs with maximum power densities (MPDs) reaching up to 392 and 528.6 mW cm −2 at 850 °C in dry H 2 , respectively, indicating the excellent electro-catalytic activity of LCFNb towards both hydrogen oxidation and oxygen reduction. Besides, the MPDs of the symmetrical cells with LCFNb/SDC composite electrodes in CO and syngas (CO: H 2 = 1:1) are almost identical to those in H 2 , implying that LCFNb material has similar catalytic activities to carbon monoxide compared with hydrogen. High durability in both H 2 , CO and syngas during the short term stability tests for 50 h are also obtained, showing desirable structure stability, and carbon deposition resistance of LCFNb based electrodes. The present results indicate that the LCFNb perovskite with remarkable cell performance is a promising electrode material for symmetrical SOFCs.

Optical encryption provides a significant implementation strategy for information security, which can be ascribed to multichannel, simple operation, and high security. Multiple responsive luminescent material has emerged as an ideal candidate for optical encryption, owing to intelligent responsive ability and unclonable security. Herein, a structural doping strategy is developed in the layer-by-layer self-assembly process to elevate the maneuverability of light-emitting color and mode. By encapsulating lanthanide doped inorganic matrix and layered hydroxide with PMA, the recognizable red-orange fluorescence can be produced in the invisible region, and realizes the conversion of yellow and green fluorescence in visible region. Meanwhile, both excitation source and emission color can be used as distinguishable encryption means, which enables structural doping complex to be multiplexed and encoded with high capacity and complexity. Furthermore, asymmetrically and symmetrically coded flexible labels with specific color sequence are prepared by brushing process, and specific encryption key are set to ensure the nonlinearity of cryptosystem. Through the integration of dual-mode and adjustable light response codes constructed by structural doping strategy, multidimensional high-level information encryption can be realized, which opens up a deep exploration in the field of information security for the application of multifunctional optical properties of light response materials.

LiNbO 3 is an intercalation material with high theoretical specific capacity, which is promising for lithium-ion capacitor (LIC) anode. However, the poor charge transfer dynamics makes LiNbO 3 unable to match the capacitive cathode in rate performance and cycle stability, resulting in poor electrochemical performance of the device. Herein, through the integrated process of in-situ nitrogen-doping with polypyrrole as the nitrogen source and hydrothermal deposition, the coaxial heterostructure of ultrafine LiNbO 3 nanoparticles and nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNT) was realized. The large lithium-ion accessible surface and the bonding with the conductive channel significantly enhance the pseudocapacitive behavior of LiNbO 3 (capacitance contribution of 78.5% at 1 mV s −1 ). After 1000 cycles at a current density of 2 A g −1 , NCNT@LiNbO 3 still has a specific capacity of 154.9 mAh g −1 (89.8%). Thus, the assembled NCNT@LiNbO 3 //AC devices can charge and discharge up to 10000 cycles at a current density of 2 A g −1 , and the capacity retention rate can still reach 90.3%, and can provide an energy density of 142 Wh kg −1 . This work provides ideas for the interface and structure design of nanocomposite electrode materials.

La 3+ - or Yb 3+ -doped TiO 2 supported on the surface of reduced graphene oxide were fabricated by adsorbed-layer nanoreactor synthesis (ANS) coupling with a solvothermal treatment to extend photocatalysis application in the advanced treatment of simulated wastewater with high salt concentration. Results showed that La 3+ or Yb 3+ could distribute in the TiO 2 lattice, only in ANS preparation with graphene oxide as the carrier, to replace Ti 4+ during the solvothermal treatment, thus introducing TiO 2 mixed-crystal and heterojunction structures in the catalysts. La 3+ or Yb 3+ caused lattice distortion structures and anionic vacancies in the TiO 2 lattice. The anionic vacancies (oxygen vacancies) might generate Ti 3+ in catalysts, thus enhancing visible-light response, due to impurity levels introduced by La 3+ or Yb 3+ . As the strong adsorption capability of the catalyst for phenol was not interfered by salt ions in the simulated wastewater, the catalysts could efficiently degrade phenol. The highest removal rate of phenol was approximately 90%.

Rational design and construction of highly efficient and durable non-noble-metal bifunctional catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial to promote the widespread implementation of rechargeable Zn-air batteries. Herein, a bifunctional catalyst comprising Co nanoparticles uniformly embedded in hollow nitrogen doped carbon tubes (Co@hNCTs) is fabricated by a facile tube-directed templating strategy. In this strategy, surfactant-treated polypyrrole (PPy) nanotubes serve as the structure-guiding templates for efficient capture of Co 2+ , realizing the in-situ growth of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-67 (ZIF-67) nanocrystals on PPy nanotubes . Sodium laurylsulfonate acts as anionic surfactant to endow PPy nanotubes with functional electronegative surface and strong anchoring effect toward ZIF-67, playing the pivotal role in binding of ZIF-67 nanocrystals with PPy nanotubes potently. Consequently, the developed catalyst presents a superior ORR activity with the half-wave potential of 0.87 V excellent durability with only a 7 mV loss of half-wave potential after 5000 cycles. The catalyst also exhibits superior catalytic performance for OER. When serving as an air electrode in Zn-air batteries, a large power density of 149 mW cm −2 and long-term cyclability for over 500 h are realized in ambient air, implying the great potential in practical application.

In this study, Sb2S3 was introduced into the two-step selenization process to promote bottom grain growth and reduce the surface roughness of the Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 light-absorber layer. The introduction of Sb doping in Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 can passivate bulk and interface defects and a small conduction band offset (CBO) can be found, which facilitate the improvement of heterojunction carrier transport properties. Similarly, simulations illustrated that Sb doping improved device efficiency by controlling bulk and interface defects and band alignment. This optimized method facilitated the penetration of Sb, resulting in a high-quality CZTSSe absorber layer. Ultimately, the research culminated in a significant enhancement, yielding a solar cell with an impressive efficiency of 13.11%. These findings offer new possibilities for kesterite solar cells and advance the potential of CZTSSe materials in thin film photovoltaic applications.

Spinel oxides with the general formula of MnCu x Co 2−x O 4 (x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 respectively) are used as coating materials on the metallic interconnect SUS 430 alloy to reduce the cathodic performance degradation by Cr poisoning and the interfacial resistance to improve the surface stability. The effect of Cu doping at the B position of spinel on the electrical conductivity and coefficient of temperature expansion (CTE) is investigated to determine the oxidation behavior and effectiveness as a protective layer. The result confirms that MnCu 0.5 Co 1.5 O 4 spinel shows highest electrical conductivity of 105.46 S cm −1 at 750 °C in air and an average CTE value of 12.27 × 10 −6 K −1 at temperature range of 20–960 °C. MnCu 0.5 Co 1.5 O 4 coating is stable enough after 2000 h cyclic oxidation at 750 °C. The growth of Cr 2 O 3 and formation of MnCr 2 O 4 in the scale layer are effectively suppressed by the presence of MnCu 0.5 Co 1.5 O 4 coating. The oxidation kinetics obeys the parabolic law with a rate constant as low as 2.76 × 10 −15 g 2 cm −4 ·s −1 and the ASR contributed by the oxide scale is 8.04 mΩ cm 2 at 750 °C. The research indicates that MnCu 0.5 Co 1.5 O 4 is a promising coating material for metallic interconnects of the intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells .

Herein, a novel electrochemical hydrazine sensor has been successfully fabricated using N-doped carbon film-immobilized Au nanoparticles coated ZnO jungle on indium tin oxide (AuNPs@NC-ZnO/ITO) as working electrode. The AuNPs@NC-ZnO/ITO has been prepared by an in situ synthesis method through the following steps. Firstly, the ZnO jungle modified ITO was prepared by electrochemical deposition method. Then, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) film was formed on the surface of ZnO jungle by wet-chemical method using ZnO jungle and 2-methylimidazole as Zn precursor and organic ligand, respectively. The loading AuNPs was performed by adsorption of Au 3+ into micropores of ZIF-8, followed by heat treatment under N 2 atmosphere, where the ZIF-8 converted into N-doped carbon and Au 3+ converted into AuNPs embedded in N-doped carbon film. Most importantly, such AuNPs@NC-ZnO/ITO exhibited good electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of hydrazine. The hydrazine sensor based on AuNPs@NC-ZnO/ITO showed linear detection range from 0.05 to 10 μM and detection limit of 4.1 nM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3.

Developing novel optical thermometry with ultrahigh relative sensitivity and temperature resolution has become a cutting-edge topic. For this purpose, under obeying Boltzmann distribution , a series of Li 2 Zn 0.9992-x A x Ge 3-y B y O 8 :0.08% Cr 3+ (B= Sc 3+ , In 3+ , A = Si 4+ ) phosphors were studied, which the luminescence intensity ratio between the transition of 4 T 2g → 4 A 2g emission and the R line based on thermally coupled energy levels constitutes a temperature sensing work with a relative sensitivity of 9.46% K −1 , 9.73% K −1 , and 10.38% K −1 , respectively. It is worth mentioning that the luminescence intensity of the R line (peak 1) increases significantly with the increase of temperature, while the transition of 4 T 2g → 4 A 2g (peak 2) with high intensity at low temperature gradually quenching, and this opposite trend is an important advantage for the design of excellent thermometers. Compared the best relative sensitivity of Li 2 Zn 0.9992-x A x Ge 3-y B y O 8 :0.08%Cr 3+ (B= Sc 3+ , In 3+ , A = Si 4+ ) with the crystal field Dq /B, it can be concluded that relative sensitivity increasing gradually with decreasing the intensity of crystal field. Finally, by testing the stability of the sample at 50 K, a thermal resolution of 0.082 K, 0.080 K and 0.077 K was obtained, respectively, which is one of the best thermal resolutions so far, while the repeatability of the sample stability at 50 K and 300 K cycles was higher than 99%. Our work is expected to provide guiding insights for optimizing the sensitivity of Cr 3+ -based luminescence intensity ratio thermometers.

Endotaxial nanostructures can reduce lattice thermal conductivity through enhancing phonon scattering without affecting electrical transport, leading to a high thermoelectric performance. On the other hand, band engineering can enhance electrical transport by improving the Seebeck coefficient through valence band convergence and the resonance level. In this paper, the synergistic effect of band engineering and endotaxial nanostructures was implemented in SnTe thermoelectric materials by alloying with AgCuTe and doping with Indium. The positron annihilation lifetime spectra show that the vacancy concentration in SnTe was reduced after alloying with AgCuTe, which led to a decreasing hole concentration and improved carrier mobility. Additionally, the diffusion of Ag in the matrix during the preparation can facilitate valence band convergence. Therefore, the power factor of SnTe is greatly increased to 18 μW cm−1 K−2 at 800 K, which can be further increased to 21.4 μW cm−1 K−2 at 800 K after In doping due to resonance level formation. Meanwhile, Cu2Te endotaxial nanostructures also can be observed in the TEM image after SnTe alloying with AgCuTe. So, the lattice thermal conductivity significantly reduced to 0.93 W m−1 K −1 in In-doped and AgCuTe-alloyed SnTe. Finally, we obtain an enhanced ZT value of 1.14 in Sn1.02In0.01Te–1%AgCuTe at 800 K.

Hollow carbon nanosheets with predominant mesopores have been demonstrated as a promising electrode material for supercapacitor , but their low specific surface area with relatively low micropore proportion limits their specific capacitance and energy density . Herein, we develop a novel extrusion plant microtube strategy to synthesize micron-sized nitrogen-doped hollow porous carbon nanosheets (MNHPCS) from dandelion fluff having the specific natural thin-wall and hollow tubular bundled structure through high-pressure extrusion, carbonization and KOH activation. The optimized MNHPCS displays strutted bilayer nanosheet structure, large SSA of 1593 m 2 g −1 , high micoporosity of 71.2 % and high heteroatom content (5.2 at.% for N, 7.0 at.% for O). Importantly, MNHPCS prepared by the new technique overcomes the drawbacks of hollow carbon nanosheets and presents an excellent capacitance of 378 F g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 and rate capability of 57 % at 80 A g −1 in 6 M KOH. Furthermore, the energy density of MNHPCS//MNHPCS based supercapacitor in EMIMBF 4 can reach up to 84 Wh kg −1 . Most importantly, MNHPCS can be easily achieved from various plant wastes having hollow tubular structure, which would provide a clearly method on selecting plant precursors for producing hollow porous carbon nanosheets applied on supercapacitors.
