The Hydrogen (H 2 ) sensor based on palladium nanogaps (Pd NGs) offers the advantages of low detection limits and fast response times. It holds significant potential for early warning of H 2 leakages. However, the preparation methods of Pd NGs for such sensors are really complex. In this study, the spray-deposition method was introduced to streamline the preparation method of Pd NGs and optimize the quantity of Pd NGs by adjusting the coverage of Pd nanoparticles (Pd NPs). The effect of different coverage of Pd NPs on the gas sensing performance of the sensor was investigated. The results revealed that sensors with lower coverage exhibited higher H 2 sensitivity. The sensor exhibited a response time of 10 s at room temperature and shorten to 2 s at 100 °C in 2500 ppm H 2 . Furthermore, the sensor achieved a detection limit as low as 50 ppm. These findings offer a method for effectively optimizing the sensing performance of Pd NGs based H 2 sensors.

Activation by nitric acid oxidation has been combined with atomic layer deposition (ALD) to modify microporous polypropylene (PP) membranes. Nitric acid oxidation with prewetting of t -butanol generates active groups on the inert surface of PP membranes. Metal oxides including Al 2 O 3 and TiO 2 are subsequently ALD-deposited on the activated membrane. Nitric acid oxidation is a mild approach to activate PP membranes. A short immersion in nitric acid for 10 min is able to generate oxygen/nitrogen-containing active species on the membrane surface , which leads to an evident increase (38%) in the membrane permeability. The mechanical stability and the integrity of the porous structure are well preserved after activation. Surface elemental analyses and microscopy observations confirm the successful deposition of metal oxides thin layers onto the activated membranes. In the deposition of either Al 2 O 3 or TiO 2 , the hydrophilicity of the deposited membranes is continuously improved with increasing ALD cycles, resulting in further increase in water flux. After 100 ALD cycles, the flux is doubled compared to that of the bare membrane. Al 2 O 3 is more efficient in enhancing the hydrophilicity and permeation than TiO 2 under identical deposition conditions because of the faster growth of Al 2 O 3 on the activated PP surface.

Amorphous Ni–P–C films are fabricated by combining the electrodeposition of Ni–P films from a eutectic-based ionic liquid and the direct current magnetron sputtering of amorphous carbon top-layer. The carbon top-layer with a thickness of about 10 nm is homogeneously coated on the surface of the Ni–P films. A comparison study is undertaken between Ni–P and Ni–P–C films to evaluate the microstructure and the electrochemical performances of the composite films as anode materials for lithium ion batteries , which allow the decoupling of the effect of the carbon layer . It is found that at lower discharge–charge current densities, the cyclability of both Ni–P and Ni–P–C films is similar. As the discharge–charge current density increases, the Ni–P–C film exhibits improved capability and reversibility over the Ni–P film. The Ni–P–C film delivers an initial discharge capacity of 1060 mAh g −1 at 250 mA g −1 and the capacity retention after 50 cycles is 62%, much higher than that of the Ni–P film (51%). The cyclability of Ni–P–C film at different discharge–charge current densities from 200 to 500 mA g −1 is also much better than those of Ni–P film. This study indicates that the introduction of a carbon top-layer on Ni–P film could significantly improve the electrochemical performances due to the decreased interface electric resistance and the structure stability.

A vapor deposition method was applied to synthesize zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires and nanorods with diameter from 40 nm to 500 nm, length from 1 μm to 70 μm by adjusting the flow rate of argon, oxygen and the pressure during growth. Results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) proved the hexagonal wurtzite structure of the synthesized ZnO nanowires or nanorods , which grow along the <0001> direction. The results show that the growth conditions strongly impact the morphology, growth rate and optical properties of the ZnO nanostructures . The ZnO nanowires with small diameters tend to show stronger ultraviolet (UV) light emission from the electron-hole recombination near band edge in photoluminescence (PL), while those with larger diameters tend to exhibit PL spectra dominated by the broad green light emission due to the defects.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one of the main nano-contaminants and their entry into the environment may pose a threat to the aquatic ecosystems . Meanwhile, AgNPs have an important impact on geological processes . In this paper, we studied the influence of AgNPs on the sedimentation of suspended sediments . Results showed the settling rate of sediments increased from 13.06 to 20.08 h −1 in the presence of 0.2 mg/L AgNPs. The morphology characterization indicated the average particle size of sediments increased from 34.74 to 42.87 μm after interacting with AgNPs, resulting in the acceleration of settlement on the basis of Stokes' law. The chemical analysis detected 43–57% of AgNPs were incorporated onto sediments, which was the dominant reason for the increased sediments size and settling rate. The influences of various water quality parameters, e.g., pH, ionic strength , temperature, humic acid and surfactant , on the sediments settlement and interaction with AgNPs were comprehensively studied. Elevating the solution pH, ionic strength, temperature, contents of humic acid and anionic/nonionic surfactants would suppress the settling of suspended sediments , whereas cationic surfactant showed a promoting effect on sediments settlement. In addition, the settling experiments were conducted in collected lake water and seawater , and results showed the real water matrices hindered the sediments settlement and interaction with AgNPs.

The development of electrocatalysts that show multifunctionality towards efficient sensing and energy applications are of great significance. Herein, we report a rational design of photochemical deposition of Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on ZIF-67-decorated carbon nanotube (Ag NPs/ZIF-67 @CNT) hybrid, which exhibits dual-functional capabilities for both effective enzymeless glucose detection and electrocatalytic water oxidation . The distribution of Ag NPs on the ZIF-67-functionalized CNT can be optimized by adjusting the concentration of Ag + aqueous solution during the light illumination process. The optimized Ag NPs/ZIF-67 @CNT composite showed superior glucose-sensing capability with a low determination limit of 0.46 μM (S/N = 3), high sensitivity of 469.4 μA·mM −1 ·cm −2 , wide linearity detection range (0.010–7.0 mM) and short response time (less than 5 s). Also, the Ag NPs/ZIF-67 @CNT composite acting as potential electrocatalyst possessed an overpotential of 286 mV with a Tafel-slope of 80.75 mV dec −1 at 10 mA·cm −2 for high durability water-oxidation reaction. This work provided a feasible way to prepare Ag NPs decorated ZIF-67/CNT with modulated bifunctional catalytic performances via photochemical reduction strategy, which can also provide effective guidance for designing other multifunctional electrocatalysts .

The development of reliable anion exchange membranes (AEMs) with superior antifouling properties is critical in practical applications of electrodialysis processes. For the first time, the AEMs were modified by poly (sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) (PSS) with titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles using only one electrodeposition step to stabilize the nanoparticles on the membrane surface while improving their antifouling ability. Owing to the bonding between the sulfonic groups of PSS and TiO 2 , the TiO 2 nanoparticles were well dispersed in the modified layer. The deposition of PSS endowed the AEMs with a negatively charged surface, while the addition of TiO 2 nanoparticles further increased the charge density. The membrane resistance increased only marginally after 100-min of fouling experiments using sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), due to the presence of TiO 2 on the modified AEMs. Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation was proven to be an effective approach in inducing good fouling reversibility of the TiO 2 -PSS modified AEMs through photocatalytic decomposition and hydrophilicity improvement.

Monolayer WS 2 (1L-WS 2 ) possesses direct band gap, which is beneficial for light emitting applications. However, high quality sample obtained via mechanical exfoliation suffers from ultralow yield of large flakes while large 2D material monolayers synthesized by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) unintentionally induce many defects, resulting in low photoluminescence (PL) intensity. Herein, we firstly control the 1L-WS 2 scalable growth through H 2 introduction at the beginning of the CVD synthesis. Its domain size can be increased from 1 μm up to 20 μm with higher coverage, compared to that synthesized without H 2 introduction. Then, we propose scalable ways to anneal the obtained large 1L-WS 2 in Ar diluted hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) atmosphere at 750 °C or to treat it with (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPS). Its PL intensity can be increased to 12 times by H 2 S or more interestingly to 30 times by MPS, respectively. Our systematic analyses show that the drastic PL improvements are mainly attributed to the reduction of structural defects by H 2 S and MPS, which is facilitated via the H– bond in them. The results help to explore routes to obtaining large-size single crystalline transition metal dichalcogenides monolayer (1L-TMDCs) and intense PL emission.

The Aurivillius compound Pb x Bi 6− x Fe 0.5 Co 0.5 Ti 4 O 18 thin films were prepared via chemical solution deposition method and the influence of Pb 2+ ions doping on the structure, ferroelectric and leakage properties were studied. With the increasing concentration of Pb 2+ ions, the lattice distortion is increased and the growth of the films along ab plane is promoted. The calculation results show that the internal stress of the films increases with the increase of Pb 2+ concentration. For the samples with low Pb 2+ doping concentration ( x < 0.6), the leakage current densities are also decreased, which can be attributed to the decrease in oxygen vacancy concentration. Due to the enhanced lattice distortion and decreased leakage current densities, the ferroelectric properties are improved. The film with x = 0.2 has a high saturation polarization of 42.3 µC/cm 2 . According to the fitting results, the leakage conduction mechanism is attributed to the combined effect of space-charge-limited conduction mechanism and ionic conduction mechanisms.

In this work, nanofiltration membrane with an asymmetric selective separation layer and improved surface negative charge was designed and fabricated to efficient remove anionic dyes from aqueous solution. Firstly, loose polyester selective separation layer was formed through interfacial polymerization of triethanolamine and trimesoyl chloride. Surface carboxylation was then implemented via esterification using poly(acrylic acid) to generate a dense skin. Membrane characterizations verified the asymmetric structure and enrichment of surface carboxyl group, which endowed the carboxylated membrane with improved perm-selectivity and anti-dye-deposition property to anionic dye aqueous solutions. The desired surface carboxylated membrane exhibited 99.6% methyl blue removal, 8.05 l/m 2 h bar steady-state water permeability and 14.3% relative flux decline ratio under 5.0 bar. The water permeability of carboxylated membrane to methyl blue aqueous solution was higher than those of most reported membranes and even at least two times higher than that of the polyester-based membrane having nearly the same dye removal ability. The attractive results indicate that surface carboxylated polyester based thin-film composite membrane is a promising material for high-efficiency nanofiltration of anionic dye aqueous solution. This study provides valuable insights into the construction and fabrication of high performance nanofiltration membrane for efficient treatment of anionic dye aqueous solution.

We try to synthesize In x Ga 1−x Sb nanowires on silicon (100) substrate using InSb and GaSb as source materials and we succeeded. Au film was used as catalysts. The experiment is simple and repeatable. The diameter of the grown nanowires is 60–200 nm and up to 10 microns in length. The grown nanowires have good crystallinity. Due to the doping of indium, we found that the XRD peaks of nanowires were shifted. We have fabricated fully nanostructured device using ultra-long Ag nanowires as electrodes for the I–V characteristic study, and found that the device has photoresponse characteristics and the I–V characteristic curve was asymmetric, we explain that it was due to the asymmetry of this fully nanostructured devices.

Co doped BaSnO 3 films [BaSn 1 − x Co x O 3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.50), i.e., BSCO] have been grown on MgO single-crystal substrates via pulsed laser deposition. Effects of the Co-doping level on the crystallinity, the microstructure, and optical properties of the BSCO films are investigated. All the BSCO films are of high crystallinity and grown epitaxially on MgO substrates. The lattice parameter of the (200) plane drops linearly with the increase of the ‘ x ’ value. The Co doping is found to increase the film roughness and the grain size, and a RMS roughness of 8.33 nm and grain size up to 100 nm are observed in the film with x = 0.50. The low Co-doping level ( x = 0.05, 0.1) has slight anti-reflection effects on the incident visible light, and the Co-doping level higher than 0.2 reduces the optical transmittance significantly. The optical bandgap shows a first-rising then falling trend with the increase of the Co content, and the lowest bandgap of 1.94 eV is realized in the BSCO film with x = 0.50.
