Three-dimensional graphene networks (3DGNs) with a controllable number of layers (from monolayer to few layers) are fabricated by CVD on a Ni foam rod (NFR) template. The special morphology of the NFR and accompanying concentration gradients of CH 4 gas provide the necessary conditions to deposit the 3DGNs with varied thicknesses on different areas of one substrate. The high conductivity, large Brunner-Emmett-Teller (BET) area, and three-dimensional network of the 3DGNs make it a potential material for use in the electrochemical field. Supercapacitors with the 3DGNs-based electrode show a high energy density ∼34.2 Wh kg −1 at a current density of 100 mA g −1 , and a specific capacitance of 246 F g −1 is obtained in a 30 wt.-% KOH aqueous electrolyte solution. Moreover, the resultant devices maintain high performances under high current density conditions, indicating the outstanding stability of the prepared 3DGNs.

Implantable electrochemical sensor holds great promise in the real-time monitoring of dopamine (DA) to regulate body function. However, the real application of these sensors is limited by the weak current signal of DA in the human body and the poor compatibility of the on-chip microelectronic devices. In this work, a SiC/graphene composite film was fabricated using laser chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) and employed as a DA sensor. The graphene in the porous nanoforest-like SiC framework offered efficient channels for electronic transmission, leading to an enhanced electron transfer rate and consequently an increased current response for DA detection. The three-dimensional (3D) porous network also facilitated the exposure of more catalytic active sites toward DA oxidation. Besides, the wide distribution of graphene in the nanoforest-like SiC films reduced the interfacial resistance of the charge transfer. The SiC/graphene composite film exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity toward DA oxidation with a low detection limit of 0.11 μM and a high sensitivity of 0.86 μA·μM–1·cm–2. The film electrode also showed a wide linear response for DA in 0.5–78 μM, along with good selectivity, repeatability, and reproducibility. Furthermore, the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and live–dead assays revealed that the film is also biocompatible for biomedical applications. Therefore, the nanoforest-like SiC/graphene composite film via the CVD process enables a promising candidate for an integrated miniature DA biosensor with high detection performance.

TiO2 pigments are widely used in paint industries. Inert coating layers were usually deposited on the TiO2 pigments to suppress the photocatalytic activity of TiO2, which can prevent the degradation of surrounding polymer molecules. However, the traditional wet chemical methods normally form thick films, which would impair the pigment properties of TiO2. In this work, SnO2 and SiO2 protective layers were grown on the TiO2 particle surface by low-temperature pulsed chemical vapor deposition. At temperatures <60 °C, thin and uniform amorphous SnO2 films were obtained. The photocatalytic activities of both TiO2/SnO2 and TiO2/SiO2 core–shell particles were suppressed, and TiO2/SnO2 core–shell particles showed higher lightening power than TiO2/SiO2. According to transient fluorescence, photocurrent, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements, the low electron mobility of amorphous SnO2 and SiO2 films led to fast recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, thus preventing their migration to the surface and suppressing the photocatalytic activity of TiO2.

Two-dimensional (2D) semi-conductive transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have shown advantages for logic application. Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) inverter is an important component in integrated circuits in view of low power consumption. So far, the performance of the reported TMDCs-based CMOS inverters is not satisfactory. Besides, most of the inverters were made of mechanically exfoliated materials, which hinders their reproducible production and large-scale integration in practical application. In this study, we demonstrate a practical approach to fabricate CMOS inverter arrays using large-area p -MoTe 2 and n -MoS 2 , which are grown via chemical vapor deposition method. The current characteristics of the channel materials are balanced by atomic layer depositing Al 2 O 3 . Complete logic swing and clear dynamic switching behavior are observed in the inverters. Especially, ultra-low power consumption of ∼0.37 nW is achieved. Our work paves the way for the application of 2D TMDCs materials in large-scale low-power-consumption logic circuits.

In this study, a nickel(II) compound with guanidinate ligand of the general form [((Me) 2 NC( i PrN) 2 ) 2 Ni] has been synthesized and isolated from the reaction of NiCl 2 with the corresponding lithium salt of guanidinate ligand [(Me) 2 NC( i PrN) 2 Li] at 70 °C. Its structure was determined by 1 H NMR, elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was employed to study the thermal properties (including thermal stability, volatility, vapor pressure and transport behavior) of compound. Furthermore, a deposition experiment was made to examine the compound’s potential as CVD precursor, and a Ni metal film was successfully deposited. These preliminary results illustrate the potential of this compound to act as CVD precursor.

Owing to the nanoscale thickness, excellent mechanical and chemical stabilities, 2D materials including graphene and hexagonal boron nitride have emerged as promising artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) candidates for lithium metal batteries. However, whether the implementation of 2D materials is beneficial to electrochemical performance remains controversial, and the key to confining the electroplated Li beneath the 2D materials remains elusive. Here, a nanocrystalline graphene (NG) film is synthesized on high-carbon Cu and the Li plating/stripping behavior on Cu grown with different 2D materials is investigated. Interestingly, in contrast to the commonly obtained Li particles on other substrates during nucleation, a smooth Li layer is obtained on NG/Cu, leading to a compact Li layer with more stable electrochemical performance. The finite element method simulations validate that the low electrical conductivity and the high density of defects on NG film drive the fast entry of electrolytes into the NG/Cu interface and promote homogenous Li nucleation. This work reveals the principles of confining electroplated Li beneath the 2D materials, and paves the way for the applications of 2D materials in artificial SEIs and anode-free lithium metal batteries.

In this study, a Cu matrix composite is synthesized reinforced by an in-situ three-dimensional graphene network (3D-GN) grown through chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Nano Cu powders and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) are employed as matrix and carbon source respectively. PMMA is dispersed on Cu powders after ball-milling. During the CVD process , carbon atoms from pyrolyzed PMMA diffuse and precipitate on Cu powders. By inheriting the morphology of Cu powders, carbon atoms build a 3D-GN in-situ on Cu powders. A bulk 3D graphene/composite with 0.5 wt% graphene is obtained by vacuum hot-press sintering. The favorable interfaces that crucial to the achievement of exceptional mechanical properties of a bulk composite are verified by TEM and SEM characterizations. A yield strength and tensile strength of 290 MPa and 308 MPa respectively are achieved of the composite. The structure of 3D-GN is well preserved in the bulk composite. We demonstrate that the 3D-GN serves as an effective obstacle to the propagation of dislocations by TEM further.

A novel MnO@Amorphous C-Carbon nanotubes (MnO@C-CNTs) composite is prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). When used as an anode material for Li-ion batteries, the MnO@C-CNTs composite exhibits an initial discharge capacity of 1164 mA h g −1 at 100 mA g −1 and the discharge capacity gradually increased from 571.7 mA h g −1 to 654 mA h g −1 after 100 cycles at 1 A g −1 , which shows an increase of the capacity rather than attenuation. Furthermore, the MnO@C-CNTs electrode can deliver a capacity of up to 228 mA h g −1 at 5 A g −1 . These results indicate that the three-dimensional conductive network of the MnO@C-CNTs composite could prevent the aggregation of MnO particles, and its open structure allows electrolyte penetration, and reduces the diffusion path of the lithium ions , hence maximizes utilization of the electrochemically active MnO particles, while enhances the conductivity of electrode material and Li + transport. This work offers a universal approach to design various metal oxides@C-CNTs composite.

Nitrogen doped carbon materials have great potential in the peroxymonosulfate based advanced oxidation processes due to their high efficiency. However, because of the limitation of prepared method, the doped N species are usually uncontrollable. In this work, a series of metal-free N-doped carbon materials are synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with a CaO template and through regulating the deposition temperature we achieve the gradient control of the edged-N species. Taken phenol as the pollutant probe, the catalytic performances of N-doped carbon material are investigated, and 700 °C is determined to be the optimal deposition temperature for carbon material with a reaction rate constant of 0.335 min −1 . After the analysis of kinetics and the N species, we demonstrate that the content of pyrrolic N has an exponential relationship with the activity. Radicals quenching experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance and electrochemical test are also employed to verify that O 2 •– , 1 O 2 , and direct electron transfer are the dominated reactive oxidation species rather than typic hydroxyl and sulfate radicals. Overall,this doped strategy through CVD give a new insight of controlling doped species in carbon materials preparation.

The two-dimensional semiconductor material MoS2, grown via chemical vapor deposition, has shown significant potential to surpass silicon in advanced electronic technologies. However, the mass transfer and chemical reaction processes critical to the nucleation and growth of MoS2grains remain poorly understood. In this study, we conducted an in-depth investigation into the mass transfer and chemical reaction processes during the chemical vapor deposition of MoS2, employing a novel multi-physics coupling model that integrates flow fields, temperature fields, mass transfer, and chemical reactions. Our findings reveal that the intermediate product Mo3O9S4not only fails to participate directly in MoS2film growth but also hinders the diffusion of MoS6, limiting the growth process. We demonstrate that increasing the growth temperature accelerates the diffusion rate of MoS6, mitigates the adverse effects of Mo3O9S4, and promotes the layered growth of MoS2films. Additionally, lowering the growth pressure enhances the convective diffusion of reactants, accelerating grain growth. This research significantly advances our understanding of the mass transport and reaction processes in MoS2film growth and provides critical insights for optimizing chemical vapor deposition systems.

To optimize the impact-ablation resistance of SiC nws @PyC/HfC coating, PyC-SiC double-layer interface phase was introduced. After impacting test, the crack widths of SiC nws @PyC-SiC/HfC were much lower than that of SiC nws @PyC/HfC coating. The impact-ablation resistance of SiC nws @PyC-SiC/HfC coating was better than that of SiC nws @PyC/HfC coating. The good impact-ablation resistance SiC nws @PyC-SiC/HfC coating attributed to the two-grade pull-out reinforcement effect, self-sealing function of Hf-Si-O glass generated from oxidation of SiC nws @PyC-SiC core-shell structure and the precipitation of HfO 2 grains from Hf-Si-O glass under ablation environment.

Transition metal (TM) doped II–VI semiconductors have attracted great attention due to their luminescence and diluted magnetism. In this study, the Fe3+-doped ZnSe nanobelts (NBs) were grown by a facile CVD method. The surface morphology observed via SEM is smooth and clean and the elemental composition measured via EDS confirms that the Fe3+ ions were incorporated into ZnSe NBs successfully. The micro-Raman scattering spectra demonstrate that the as-prepared NBs have the zinc blende structure. Furthermore, the Raman spectra of the Fe3+-doped NBs were compared with those of pure and Fe2+-doped reference samples. The former with a higher signal-to-noise ratio, an enhanced 2LO mode, a stronger LO mode redshift and a larger intensity ratio of LO/TO mode as well as the lower acoustic phonon modes confirms the better crystallization and the stronger electron–phonon coupling on Fe3+-incorporation. The emission of single Fe3+ ion, assigned to the 4T1 → 6A1 transition, was observed at about 570 nm. Moreover, increasing the doping concentration of Fe3+ ions caused the formation of different Fe–Fe coupled pairs in the lattice, which emitted light at about 530–555 nm for an antiferromagnetic-coupled pair, possibly due to the stacking faults and at about 620–670 nm for a ferromagnetic-coupled pair.
