Photodetectors based on two-dimensional materials and their van der Waals (vdW) heterojunctions usually have excellent optoelectronic performance and great potential applications. Herein, gallium (Aladdin, particles, 99.999% trace metal basis), selenium (Aladdin, powder, 99.999% trace metal basis), and iodine (Alfa Aesar, 99.999% trace metal basis) are the raw materials for the growth of gallium selenide (GaSe) single crystals by the chemical vapor transport method, in which iodine is the transport agent. Subsequently, GaSe nanoflakes are exfoliated from the grown bulk GaSe crystals by mechanical exfoliation. The n-Si/p-GaSe van der Waals vertical heterojunctions have been designed and fabricated for photodetection, which show good characteristics including a high responsivity of 1.74 A/W and a fast response/recovery time of 48 μs/88 μs under zero bias owing to their type-II band structure and built-in electric field. The results indicate that n-Si/p-GaSe vdW vertical heterojunctions are promising candidates in future ultrafast optoelectronic devices.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have been widely used in the surface modification and construction of nanocomposites due to their excellent surface activity and high tensile strength. In this manuscript, nanocomposite hydrogels were prepared by implanting poly(glycidyl methacrylate)-modified CNCs (CNCs@PGMA) and biomass phytic acid (PA). After extracting CNCs from microcrystalline cellulose, PGMA was successfully grafted on the surface of CNCs by surface-initiated Activator Generated by Electron Transfer Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (SI-AGET ATRP). With the assistance of PA, the reversible hydrogen bonding interaction between the internal structures of the matrix was promoted to construct the CNCs@PGMA/PA self-healing nanocomposite hydrogels. The obtained hydrogels by using CNCs@PGMA and PA as additives have excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength of 1.39 MPa) and self-healing ability (91.4% after 6 h). This study develops a facile method for the preparation of nanocomposite hydrogels with excellent self-healing properties. Graphical abstract

Graphene has been regarded as one of the most promising two-dimensional nanomaterials. Even so, graphene was still faced with several key issues such as impedance mismatching and narrow bandwidth, which have hindered the practical applications of graphene-based nanocomposites in the field of microwave absorption materials. Herein, a series of Si-modified rGO@Fe3O4composites were investigated and fabricated by a simple method. On one hand, the degree of defects in graphene carbon could be tuned by different silane coupling reagents, which were beneficial to enhancing the dielectric loss. On the other hand, the spherical Fe3O4nanoparticles provided the magnetic loss resonance, which contributed to controlling the impedance matching. Subsequently, the electromagnetic absorption (EMA) properties of Si-modified rGO@Fe3O4composites with poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-co-HFP) were investigated in this work. As a result, the Si(2)-rGO@Fe3O4/PVDF-co-HFP composite exhibited the excellent EMA performance in the range of 2–18 GHz. The maximum reflection loss (RLmax) reached −32.1 dB at 3.68 GHz at the thickness of 7 mm and the effective absorption frequency bandwidth for reflection loss (RL) below −10 dB was 4.8 GHz at the thickness of 2 mm. Furthermore, the enhanced absorption mechanism revealed that the high-efficiency absorption performance of Si(2)-rGO@Fe3O4/PVDF-co-HFP composite was attributed to the interference absorption (quarter-wave matching model) and the synergistic effects between Si(2)-rGO@Fe3O4and PVDF-co-HFP. This work provides a potential strategy for the fabrication of the high-performance EMA materials.Keywords:absorbing materials;Si-modified rGO@Fe3O4/PVDF-co-HFP composites;dielectric loss;magnetic loss;electromagnetic properties

Transparent AlON ceramics were bonded with Lu-Al-Si-O-N oxynitride glass interlayer at 1450 °C in nitrogen atmosphere in this investigation. The Lu-Al-Si-O-N oxynitride glass showed good wettability on the AlON substrate and had strong interface adhesion with each other. The joining process had no detrimental effect on the in-line transmittance of transparent AlON ceramics but caused slight decrease of flexural strength due to the partial decomposition. The bonding strength of AlON/AlON joint was 142.7 ± 6.3 MPa at room temperature and 110.1 ± 9.6 MPa at 1200 °C in situ, which were comparable with those of the parent AlON ceramics. Some Lu 2 Si 2 O 7 grains crystallized out from the glass interlayer after joining.

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT):polystyrenesulfonate (PSS)/Si hybrid heterojunction solar cells (HHSCs) are fabricated by a solution-based synthesis method which combines the advantages of PEDOT:PSS and the superior performance of crystalline silicon. The optimized PEDOT:PSS–2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ) hole transport layer (HTL) was used to prepare organosilicon solar cells with a short-circuit current density (Jsc) of 33.33 mA/cm2 and a photoelectric conversion efficiency (η) of 13.23%. The HTL films were found to have increased conductivity by the addition of an electron-accepting dopant (F4TCNQ), obtaining well-defined crystallinity and few defects. In addition, an one-step combination of F4TCNQ with a silane coupling agent (vinyltrimethoxysilane, VTMO) was used to improve the textured device, with a notable efficiency of 14.46% and a Jsc of 33.88 mA/cm2. Our study provides an alternative and easy way to establish organic–inorganic hybrid applications with excellent optoelectronic properties and to gain a deeper understanding of organic semiconductors.

Ti–Si–Fe alloys extracted from high-titanium blast furnace slag were utilized to replace part of the silicon powders, and then nitride/oxynitride bonded SiC ceramics were prepared by reactive sintering in graphite bed. Ti–Si–Fe alloys could react with CO/N 2 at a low temperature (1200 °C), and the addition of Ti–Si–Fe alloys could reduce the nitriding temperature of Si. Density functional theory calculations suggested that Ti–Si–Fe alloys enhanced reaction activity via weakening the strength of C O and N N bonds. The regional equilibrium phase diagrams of Si–C–N–O and Ti–Si–C–N–O under CO/N 2 atmosphere were calculated by thermodynamics. The change of whiskers morphology was observed by scanning electron microscope. Furthermore, the bulk density, the cold modulus of rupture, and the cold compressive strength improved with Ti–Si–Fe alloys content. The results showed that the addition of Ti–Si–Fe alloys not only significantly promoted nitriding of Si and formation of Si 3 N 4 whiskers, but also improved the mechanical properties of the samples.

A series of zeolite-supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt/NaZSM-5) have been prepared by adjusting Si/Al ratio of NaZSM-5 zeolite from 60 to pure silica. Catalytic tests in propene oxidation as an important model reaction for removal of hydrocarbons emitted from automobiles during cold-start, show that the catalytic activities significantly increase with Si/Al ratios of NaZSM-5 zeolite in these Pt/NaZSM-5 catalysts. As a typical example, Silicalite-1 supported Pt nanoparticles exhibits the highest activity, giving the 50% conversion temperature (T 50 ) and 90% conversion temperature (T 90 ) at 112 °C and 118 °C, respectively. Characterizations of these catalysts with multiple techniques show that the enhanced catalytic activities are strongly related to the zeolite Si/Al ratios of the catalysts, where an increase of zeolite Si/Al ratio is favorable for the adsorption of propene, promoting the propene oxidation. This feature might offer a good opportunity to design and prepare highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts for removal of light olefins in the future.

The oxidation behavior of W-Si bulk composite was investigated to evaluate its performance on the simulating accidental environment in the future fusion reactor. Tungsten trisilicide is the main functional phase, which can form amorphous SiO y and polycrystalline WO 3 with nano-porous network during oxidation. This special structure can not only retard W volatilization, but also offer well self-adaption adjustment to different phases. In addition, cracks at the oxide scale/composite interface can be self-healed with the help of this structure. Protrusions are found on the surface of the oxidized W-32Si related with Fe impurity. The vapour-liquid-solid mechanism for the protrusions is proposed.

The promoting effect of hydroxyls on a silicon surface on the decomposition of an electrolyte is studied by comparing the performance of silicon–hydroxyl (Si–OH) and silicon–alkyl (Si–C3H7) electrodes. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterization of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers on both electrodes demonstrates the influencing mechanism that hydroxyls can react with LiPF6 to form POF3, which further induces the decomposition of the electrolyte solution. This study provides a new consideration that limiting the amount of hydroxyls on the silicon surface in an appropriate range is significant to the electrochemical performance of silicon-based anode materials.

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have been of great interest in a wide range of device applications for their novel physical, electronic and spin transport properties. Here we study the hydrogen (H2) sensing properties of GNRs decorated with palladium (Pd) nanoparticles by a one-step chemical modification and reduction process. A novel Pd-GNR film/SiO2/Si structure was fabricated by transferring a Pd-GNR film onto a heavily doped Si substrate with a native oxide layer. It is demonstrated that the Pd-GNR film/SiO2/Si structure exhibits highly enhanced responses to H2 than the pristine Pd-GNR film at parts-per-million (ppm) concentration levels at room temperature. For example, the Pd-GNR film/SiO2/p-Si structure shows an excellent response (ΔR/Rair) of ∼94% to 100 ppm H2 in air. The sensing mechanism was proposed to explain these H2 sensing characteristics based on p–n junction theory. Our findings demonstrate the incorporation of nanoparticles in GNR-based gas sensors through chemical functionalization and present a novel strategy for the application of GNRs in high performance gas sensors.

Cytokeratin fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA 21-1) DNA is a significant biomarker with relation to non-small cell lung cancer. Here, we described an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor for detection of CYFRA 21-1 DNA (target DNA, tDNA) via surface-initiated reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (SI-RAFT) polymerization-based DNA metallization signal amplification strategy. Specifically, 5′terminal modified thiol peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes are immobilized on the gold electrode surface (by Au-S selfassembly) for the identification of specific tDNA sequences. After hybridization, the 4-cyano-4-(phenylcarbonothioylthio) pentanoic acid (CPAD) is tethered to the PNA/DNA duplexes by means of the recognized phosphate-Zr 4+ -carboxylate chemistry. Subsequently, in the situation of C 3 H 4 O as the monomer, SI-RAFT polymerization can bring numerous aldehyde groups sites for the subsequent silver mirror reaction. The acrolein-polymers act as reductant to reduce Ag + into Ag 0 , and then the silver particles are deposited on the polymer skeleton, which significantly amplifies the electrochemical signal. Under optimal conditions, the designed sensor for tDNA detection show a wide linear range from 100 aM to 1 nM, and the detection limit is as low as 0.89 aM. Moreover, the proposed biosensor exhibits prominent applicability for analysis of tDNA in serum samples and high selectivity for different mismatched oligonucleotide fragments. Given the proposed biosensor without extra natural enzyme or bio-labels, this method has enormous potential in bioanalysis.

Silicon (Si) anode is the most promising alternative for next generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to large theoretical capacity, low working voltage and abundant natural resources. However, tremendous volume change of Si during the (de)lithiation processes causes repetitive formation of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers, loss of electrical contact and electrodes pulverization , limiting its commercial application. Herein, we fabricate an interconnected hollow Si-C nanospheres/graphite composite via a facile and scalable approach. Notably, hollow Si-C nanospheres and graphite are homogeneously combined by using the surfactants as surface modifiers of graphite and introducing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into magnesiothermic reduction reaction, resulting in the enhanced compatibility between hollow Si-C nanospheres and graphite, and the well-established electrical conductive network. The resultant Si-C nanospheres/graphite composite anode with carbon content of 59 wt% delivers a large reversible specific capacity of 662 mAh g −1 and a high capacity retention of 65.7% at 0.5 A g −1 after 200 cycles. Such excellent rate performance and superior cycling performance are attributed to high electrical conductivity and buffering effect of graphite, superior compatibility between hollow Si-C spheres and graphite, uniform distribution of both Si-C nanospheres with a unique hollow architecture and graphite flakes inside the composites and well-established interconnected electrical conductive carbon networks, which can effectively alleviate Si volume expansion and maintain good electrical contact during cycling. This strategy provides insights into designing Si-based anodes for practical LIBs.
