Crystalline yttrium-doped rutile TiO 2 nanorod arrays were synthesized and successfully implemented as a photoanode of perovskite solar cells . Study shows that yttrium was successfully doped and TiO 2 band gap changes from 3.07 eV to 3.02 eV. A positive shift of 100 mV in the flat-band potential (V fb ) was observed in Y-doped rutile TiO 2 nanorods. A power conversion efficiency of 7.95% and a photocurrent density of 15.13 mA/cm 2 were obtained for the doped sample. The photocurrent density is 1.47 times higher than that of the un-doped device. Incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency shows Y-doped device has a clear increase in quantum efficiency in the visible light range from 450 and 750 nm. Open circuit voltage decay measurements demonstrate the superior ability of Y-doped TiO 2 nanorod for separating electrons and holes and decreasing the recombination events. The improved performance is possibly attributed to the enhanced electron injection and transfer efficiency caused by a positive shift in V fb and a reduction in charge recombination. This study opens a door toward the improvement of photocurrent density of perovskite solar cell via an element doping route.

Near infrared (NIR) light emitting phosphors have attracted more and more attention with the development of science and technology . Herein, we report a series of environmentally-friendly low-cost Fe 3+ -activated ZnGa 2 O 4 phosphors which exhibit intense broadband NIR light emitting. According to density functional theory (DFT) calculations, ZnGa 2 O 4 host possesses an indirect wide bandgap. The emission of the Fe 3+ -doped phosphors demonstrates a wide band spanning from 650 to 850 nm, with the maximum at 720 nm and a full width at half maxima (FWHM) of 70 nm, showing a large overlap with the absorption of phytochromes (PR and PFR). The luminescence intensity remains at 71% when the temperature is raised to 423 K. The phosphors are fabricated into light emitting diodes (LEDs) which produces strong NIR emission with CIE color coordinates of (0.65, 0.31). All these results suggest that ZnGa 2 O 4 :Fe 3+ is a promising NIR luminescent material , which is expected to be a candidate for indoor plant culture LEDs.

Light absorption range, recycling stability and charge transfer efficiency are key to the performance of photocatalytic material. Based on these targets, a Al doped TiO 2 catalyst was synthesized by the evaporation-induced process, after processed by NaBH 4 reduction, the black TiO 2 doped with Al was finally prepared. Uv-vis DRS, EPR and XPS analyses confirm the expanded light absorption window (300 nm - 1000 nm) and the introduction of abundant oxygen vacancy after the reduction process. The final product BTiO 2 /Al-0.5 has a degradation rate of about 84 % over the tetracycline hydrochloride within 60 minutes, the reaction rate constant (k) is 10.6 times higher than the unreduced sample. The dramatic change of photocatalytic ability can be assigned to the broadened visible light absorption , increased charge separation efficiency, narrowed band gap and defect-enriched oxygen vacancy . This work offers insights into the fabrication of TiO 2 catalyst and the introduction of oxygen defect.

Growing demand for clean and renewable energy resources has sparked intensive research on the development of an effective strategy to prepare non-noble metal electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, we report a new type of N-doped carbon coated CoP particle/carbon nanotube composite (CNT-NC-CoP) has been synthesized by in situ nucleation and growth of ZIF-67 nanoparticles onto carbon nanotubes, which subsequently is treated with carbonization and phosphorization. Unique hierarchical structure endows as-obtained CNT-NC-CoP with high specific surface area , abundant exposed active sites, quick ion diffusion path , and good electrical conductivity , thus exhibiting the highest electrocatalytic capability with the low overpotential of 251 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm −2 and remaining long-term durability (overlapping LSV curve after 10 h). Besides, density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that CoOOH/graphene charged surfaces are more effective for facilitating intermediates adsorption and improving the corresponding catalytic activity .

A novel La 0.9 Ca 0.1 Fe 0.9 Nb 0.1 O 3-δ (LCFNb) perovskite for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) anode is prepared by means of the citrate-nitrate route and composited with Ce 0.8 Sm 0.2 O 1.9 (SDC) by impregnation method to form nano-scaled LCFNb/SDC anode catalytic layers. The single cells with LCFNb and LCFNb/SDC impregnated anodes both achieve relatively high power output with maximum power densities (MPDs) reaching up to 610, 823 mW·cm −2 in H 2 at 800 °C, respectively, presenting a high potential of LCFNb for use as SOFCs anode. The power outputs of the single cells with LCFNb/SDC composite anode in CO and syngas (CO H 2 mixture) are almost identical to that in H 2 at each testing temperature. This composite anode also presents excellent durability in both H 2 and CO for as long as 50 h, showing desirable anti-reduction and carbon deposition resistance abilities. Besides, the cell output is stable in 100 ppm H 2 S H 2 atmospheres for 20 h at a current density of 600 mA·cm −2 with negligible sulfur accumulation on the anode surface . Hence, a novel iron based perovskite LCFNb anode with remarkable cell performance, carbon deposition resistance and sulfur poisoning tolerance for SOFCs is successfully obtained.

Lithium–ion batteries (LIBs) has been developed over the last three decades. Increased amount of silicon (Si) is added into graphite anode to increase the energy density of LIBs. However, the amount of Si is limited, due to its structural instability and poor electronic conductivity so a novel approach is needed to overcome these issues. In this work, the synthesized chromium silicide (CrSi 2 ) doped Si nanoparticle anode material achieves an initial capacity of 1729.3 mAh g −1 at 0.2C and retains 1085 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles. The new anode also shows fast charge capability due to the enhanced electronic conductivity provided by CrSi 2 dopant, delivering a capacity of 815.9 mAh g −1 at 1C after 1000 cycles with a capacity degradation rate of <0.05% per cycle. An in situ transmission electron microscopy is used to study the structural stability of the CrSi 2 -doped Si, indicating that the high control of CrSi 2 dopant prevents the fracture of Si during lithiation and results in long cycle life. Molecular dynamics simulation shows that CrSi 2 doping optimizes the crack propagation path and dissipates the fracture energy. In this work a comprehensive information is provided to study the function of metal ion doping in electrode materials.

The exploration of performance luminescence near-infrared (NIR) material is crucial for rapidly developing NIR spectroscopic techniques. Herein, the NIR LaMg 0.5 Sn 0.5 O 3 :Cr 3+ phosphor was synthesized by a high temperature solid-state method. And its luminescence performance were improved by [In 3+ -Sc 3+ ] substituting for [Mg 2+ -Sn 4+ ]. The half-peak width can be expanded to 211 nm, the emission intensity can reach the seven times of that un-substitution, and the emission intensity at 423 K was maintained at 60 % of that at room temperature , moreover, the internal quantum efficiency can reach 54.2 %. On this basis, the phosphor converted light emitting diodes ( pc -LEDs) were achieved by combining La(Mg 1-x Sn 1-x In x Sc x ) 0.5 O 3 :Cr 3+ with blue LED, importantly, it can be applied to the biodetection and night vision lighting, which indicate its application value.

Nd 3+ /Ho 3+ co-doped silicate-germanate glass has been synthesized by high temperature melt-quenching method. Near infrared emission centered at 2 µm has been successfully obtained by incorporating Nd 3+ and Ho 3+ in present glass. The Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters Ω t (t=2, 4, 6), and radiative properties of Ho 3+ were calculated and discussed by using the Judd-Ofelt theory. The energy transfer processes and luminescence properties of Nd 3+ /Ho 3+ co-doped glasses were analyzed pumped by a conventional 808 nm laser diode . Desirable spectroscopic characteristics indicates that Nd 3+ /Ho 3+ co-doped silicate-germanate glass might be a good alternative matrix for 2 µm band mid-infrared laser.

Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) nanoparticles (NPs) doped with rare earth (RE) metal ions (Y 2.5 Sm 0.5 Fe 5 O 12 , Y 2.5 Nd 0.5 Fe 5 O 12 ) were successfully synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion approach. The cubic crystalline structure and morphology of the prepared garnet ferrite NPs were analyzed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The cubic crystalline garnet phase of the synthesized YIG, Sm-YIG and Nd-YIG samples was successfully achieved at 950 °C sintering temperature . The force constant and absorption bands were estimated by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The doping effect of RE metal ions on the chemical states of YIG were examined by x-ray photoelectron microscopy (XPS). The valence band (from 12.63 eV to 13.22 eV), conduction band (from 10.89 eV to 11.34 eV) edges and optical bandgap values of RE doped YIG samples were calculated using UV–Vis spectroscopy and ultraviolet photo electron spectroscopy (UPS). The magnetic analysis of the prepared NPs was studied using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The XPS analysis of RE doped YIG samples exhibit the existence of RE (Sm +3 , Nd +3 ) contents on the surface of YIG ferrite by decreasing the oxygen lattice in garnet structure. The optical bandgap (from 1.74 eV to 1.88 eV) explains the semiconducting nature of the synthesized NPs. The UPS results confirm the valence band position of YIG doped samples. The saturation magnetization and remanence of RE doped garnet ferrite samples increased from 13.45 to 18.83 emu/g and 4.06–6.53 emu/g, respectively.

Flexible triboelectric generators present a wide range of prospective applications owing to their small size, light weight, and wearability; in addition, they can convert external mechanical energy into electrical energy to provide an energy supply for wearable electronic products. In this study, a wearable textile triboelectric generator was developed by weaving polyurethane (PU) nanofiber core-spun yarn and Si 3 N 4 -electret-doped polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofiber core-spun yarn into a double-layer fabric. Within the double-layer fabric, one layer was Si 3 N 4 -doped PVDF (denoted as Si 3 N 4 @PVDF) nanofiber fabric, and the other was PU nanofiber fabric. When subjected to an external mechanical force, PU nanofiber fabric and Si 3 N 4 @PVDF nanofiber fabric came into contact and were able to convert external mechanical energy into electrical energy. The most notable instantaneous electrical performance of this triboelectric nanogenerator was open circuit voltage of 71 V, short-circuit current of 0.7 μA, and output power of 56 μW. Additionally, the wearable textile triboelectric generator exhibited superior washability, stability, and cycle durability. More significantly, it was capable of driving some low-consumption electronic products, including capacitors, LED bulbs, and digital meters, thereby exhibiting a strong potential for flexible self-powered electronic devices and intelligent textiles .

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of tin-based perovskite solar cells (TPSCs) was significantly improved when polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) was doped into the formamidinium tin iodide (FASnI 3 ) layer with an optimized doping mass. After doping, the FASnI 3 grain size, film smoothness and average carrier lifetime were largely enhanced, which demonstrate the crystallization quality improvement to FASnI 3 . The champion PCE of the enhanced TPSC was improved to 7.83%, which is relatively 27% larger than that of the control, 6.15%. After continuous storage for 15 days, the PCE of the enhanced TPSC remained 74.4% of its original value. Using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation method, we demonstrated that the light absorption ratio of the FASnI 3 :PVP layer was larger than that of the FASnI 3 , and the photo-generated carrier density of the enhanced TPSC was approximately 2% ∼ 3% larger than that of the control. The ultimate efficiency of the enhanced TPSC was calculated to be 26.23%. It is potential to dope PVP into FASnI 3 to further enhance the device performance of TPSCs.

Hybrid direct carbon fuel cells (HDCFCs) present its inherent and unparalleled advantages in converting chemical energy from organic waste, biomass, and coal directly into clean energy with high efficiency. However, the progress of HDCFC technology continues to be hampered by the sluggish anode reaction kinetics. Herein, an effective design strategy for HDCFC anode is proposed, a Cu-modified Sr 2 Fe 1.3 Cu 0.2 Mo 0.5 O 6-δ (SFCM) perovskite oxide is developed to meet the requirements of intermediate-temperature HDCFC anode. The Cu-doping SFCM anode demonstrates excellent redox structural stability and catalytic activity. In addition, the electrolyte-supported single cell with Cu-doping SFCM anode has improved the peak power density from 285.5 mW cm −2 to 489.3 mW cm −2 at 800 °C with activated carbon as the fuel. The significantly enhanced anode catalytic activity is primarily due to the improved interfacial activity and chemical adsorption of CO. Therefore, the present work shows an effective strategy for designing and developing novel high-performance HDCFCs anode materials .
