The surface-fluorinated Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 nanowires/reduced graphene oxide composite is synthesized through a hydrothermal procedure. Lithium ion transport is promoted by forming a special morphology of lithium titanate nanowires, meanwhile, electronic transmission is facilitated by surface fluorination and conductive network of graphene coating. These three kinds of synergistic effects greatly improve the rate performance of lithium titanate . The surface-fluorinated Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 nanowires/reduced graphene oxide composite exhibits high specific capacities (167.5 mAh g −1 at 1 C and even 132.6 mAh g −1 at 10 C) and good cyclic stability (95% capacity remain after 300 cycles at 5 C). The influences of surface fluorination and graphene coating on electrochemical performance of lithium titanate are investigated in detail in terms of reversible capacity, cyclability and rate capability. Its excellent electrochemical properties make it become possible to be a potential anode material for high-rate lithium-ion batteries applied in high power facilities.

Graphical Benefiting from excitonic charge-transfer states, an efficient non-linear optical response is observed in type-II nanocrystals by four-wave mixing when the incident photon energy lies below the bandgaps of constituent semiconductors. The non-linear optical properties in nanocrystals can be manipulated by the band alignment of the core–shell components, which serves as a promising platform to design broadband non-linear optical devices.

Antimony (Sb) is an attractive anode material for lithium-ion batteries with high theoretical capacity. However, its practical application is greatly hindered by the rapid capacity fading due to the large volume expansion during lithiation. Tuning the morphology of active materials at the nanoscale or designing reasonable components is essential to address this issue. Employing an antimony sulfide nanorod as semi-sacrificial template, here, we successfully synthesize one-dimensional MoS 2 sheets-decorated Sb@Sb 2 S 3 @C(MoS 2 -Sb@Sb 2 S 3 @C) nano-structure via facile thermal carbonization of Mo-polypyrrole complex coating film. During annealing, metallic Sb from the partial reduction of Sb 2 S 3 nanorods is embedded into amorphous carbon nanotubes that are derived from polypyrrole and simultaneously MoS 2 nanosheets forms on the surface of Sb-Sb 2 S 3 -C nanostructures. This unique hierarchical tubular composite not only can serve as robust skeleton frameworks for accommodating volume changes of metallic Sb and Sb 2 S 3 during cell cycling, but also are characterized by high electronic conductivity (because of the amorphous carbon nanotubes and metallic Sb) and abundant active sites, both of which are beneficial for the improvement of Li-ion storage properties. As expected, the MoS 2 -Sb@Sb 2 S 3 @C composite exhibit a high specific capacity (1596 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 ), high rate capability (481 mAh g −1 at 5 A g −1 and 355 mAh g −1 at 8 A g −1 ), and stable cycling performance (760 mAh g −1 maintained after 100 cycles at 1 A g −1 ). Our work potentially sheds some light on future development of alloy-type anodes for battery applications.

Flexible pressure sensors attract wide attentions in recent years for their significant applications in wearable electronics and health monitoring. It is strongly desired that a pressure sensor possesses both low detection limit and wide measuring capability, covering a broad pressure range from Pa to hundred kPa, to meet diverse demands in different applications. This paper proposes a novel flexible pressure sensor based on thermosensation, using a multilayered and graded-porosity polydimethylsiloxane/silver nanoparticle sponge as piezo-thermic transduction. The sensor exhibits a high sensitivity, a low detection limit of 4.1 Pa, and a wide measuring range up to 200 kPa, which leads to a high range-to-limit ratio of about 50 000. The pressure sensor is monolithically integrated with a temperature sensor and dissolves temperature-compensation. The unique combination of properties makes it feasible to monitor various human signals from subtle wrist pulse to finger tapping pressure and foot stepping pressure by a single device, which shows competent capabilities for multifarious applications in wearable electronics and health monitoring.

A simple and reliable method was proposed for rapid detecting ciprofloxacin, based on molecularly imprinted technology. The molecularly imprinted ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CPX) sensor was prepared by electropolymerization of pyrrole (Py) and o-phenylenediamine (o-PD) on the pencil graphite electrode (PGE). The performance of the sensor was characterized by square wave voltammetry (SWV) using potassium ferricyanide as molecular probe. Under optimal conditions, the sensor displayed high selectivity and stability towards CPX. A linear relationship between the change in current (Δi) and the logarithm of CPX concentrations from 1×10 −9 to 1×10 −3 mol/L was obtained with a detection limit of 7.58×10 −11 mol/L (S/N=3). Furthermore, the MIP sensor was applied for the analysis of real tablet samples with high accuracies.

Organic–inorganic metal halide perovskites have led to remarkable advancements in emerging photovoltaics. The rapid increase in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PSCs has been mainly achieved by improving perovskite morphology and crystallinity. Herein, we report a simple and effective means to improve perovskite grain sizes using a porous hole transport layer (i.e., PEDOT:PSS in this work). We used polystyrene nanospheres as a sacrificial template to fabricate the porous-PEDOT:PSS. The growth of the CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite film on the porous-PEDOT:PSS substrate yields a dramatic improvement in crystallinity and an enhancement in perovskite grain sizes. When the porous structure was applied as a hole transport layer in PSCs with planar heterojunction structures, the efficiency was significantly enhanced from 15.33% for the planar device to 17.32%. This simple method for enhancing perovskite morphology and crystallinity paves the way for its application to other device architectures for enhanced photovoltaic performance.

Aqueous polyurethane micelles from 2,4,6-trichlorphenol blocking terminal-isocynate pre-polymer were prepared which could be de-blocked at low temperature. The prepared aqueous blocked polyurethane micelles (BPUMs) were uniform and spherical micro-particles. The particle size was decreased with increase of the DMPA content, while it was enlarged at first and then gradually decreased by increasing R -value. The stability of the micelles was affected by the R value, blocked efficiency and DMPA content. HDI-BPUMs were more stable than HDI-BPUMs at the same condition. The stability was further researched by the zeta potential combining with technique and viscosity tracking method, and the initial zeta potential be used as the stability criterion. In addition, a stabilization mechanism of the micelles was proposed. TCP-blocked TDI-BPUMs could be initially de-blocked at about 75°C and TCP-blocked HDI-BPUMs was de-blocked at about 80°C. The de-blocking temperature could be further reduced in the presence of catalyst, but it was scarcely affected by the change of R -value and DMPA content. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

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.

Layered 2D semiconductors, such as graphene and transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), are receiving intensive attention owing to their great performance in electronic and optoelectronic application during the past few years. Among them, SnS has similar anisotropy to black phosphorus and high photoresponse in the near infrared range, rendering it as an ideal candidate for infrared photodetectors. In this work, large-size (up to 330 µm) and high-quality single-crystalline SnS nanoplates are synthesized successfully via controlled chemical vapor deposition technique and characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, confocal Raman system, atomic force microscope, transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Photodetectors based on as-grown SnS nanoplates are fabricated with back-gated field effect transistors (FETs) configuration, exhibiting a high mobility of 17.1 cm 2 V −1 s −1 . Photodetectors based on the SnS FETs demonstrate excellent optoelectronic performance both in visible and near-infrared spectral range. Typically, photoresponsivity of 197.7 A W −1 , photoresponse time of 39 ms, and external quantum efficiency of 6.06 × 10 4 % are exhibited under the irradiation of 405 nm laser. The wide response range and ultrahigh sensitivity make the large-area single crystal SnS nanoplate a promising candidate for future application in optoelectronics.

The tetragonal phase Nb 2 O 5 (T-Nb 2 O 5 ) nanobelts with preferentially exposed the (010) facet have been successfully prepared for the first time by insitu topological reaction using the KNb 3 O 8 nanobelts as the precursor. Meanwhile, the transformation mechanism of the crystal structure and morphology from the layered KNb 3 O 8 nanobelt to the T-Nb 2 O 5 nanobelt was revealed in detail by using XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, HRTEM, SAED, UV-vis DRS, EDX, XPS, and Raman spectra. In addition, Ag deposited T-Nb 2 O 5 (Ag/T-Nb 2 O 5 ) nanobelts were prepared by photo-reduction reaction. The photoelectrochemical properties of the T-Nb 2 O 5 nanobelts and Ag/T-Nb 2 O 5 nanobelts as a photocatalyst were evaluated by splitting water under simulated sunlight. The results show that the photocurrent density generated by the prepared Ag/T-Nb 2 O 5 sample is 48.1 µA∙cm −2 , which is 2.3 times that of the T-Nb 2 O 5 sample, and the prepared tetragonal phase T-Nb 2 O 5 nanobelts produce a photocurrent value 1.5 times that of the contrast orthogonal phase O-Nb 2 O 5 nanosheets. It indicates that the (010) facet of the tetragonal phase Nb 2 O 5 is one of the highest photocatalytic active surfaces, and the visible light utilization efficiency of the T-Nb 2 O 5 nanobelt with Ag deposited on the surface has been significantly improved, which implies that it has potential applications in the field of photocatalysis.

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.

Alternative micro-sized LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 spinels with octahedral structure (showing only one type of {111} crystal face) or chamfered polyhedral structure with extra other faces have been synthesized via a controllable method. A possible growth model, complexing–pyrolyzing-oriented, is also proposed for the formation of chamfered polyhedral LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 spinel based on the experimental results in this paper. The chamfered polyhedral LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 can provide a large capacity of 103 mA h g−1 even at a discharge rate as high as 50 C, which is far superior to that of the octahedral structure. Besides, the capacity retentions of the chamfered polyhedral composites are found to be 90.82% at 25 °C after 500 cycles and 90.00% at 55 °C after 200 cycles, which are also better than those of the octahedral composites. These results represent the first experimental evidence for lattice-plane anisotropy in LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 crystals. Moreover, the pseudo-sphere structure is beneficial for obtaining high volumetric energy density and excellent processability in practical applications. In short, we have revealed for the first time that, through chamfering an octahedron to a pseudo-sphere-like polyhedron rather than doping or coating, a micro-sized LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 spinel with good compatibility between energy/power density and cycle life can be synthesized successfully without sacrificing other properties.
