However, their inherent instability presents a significant challenge. Recent advances have demonstrated that optoelectronic devices based on monolayer nanoparticle films exhibit both high luminescence efficiency and long-term stability.Our research demonstrates that mobility limitations and anisotropic alignments in CsPbBr3nanocube monolayer films are key to their stabilization, hindering spontaneous growth through face-to-face fusion and resulting in the formation of connecting necks in a diagonal direction. Introducing laser irradiation confirmed this by significantly accelerating nanocubes growth, increasing mobility, and enhancing local structural ordering, leading to larger and more regularly shaped nanosheets. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy line-scan analyses indicated that laser irradiation did not disrupt the ligand structure. Transmission electron microscopy and correlative cathodoluminescence electron microscopy revealed the effects of post-growth and heterogeneous structures, including enhanced luminescence and inhomogeneous intensity in the nanosheets. These findings deepen the understanding of the post-growth mechanism of monolayer nanoparticles and the structure-emission correlation and highlight the unique role of laser irradiation in directing the formation of well-defined and regular nanostructures.展开更多

The chemical compositions were examined by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and the charge state of Mn ions in the ZnO:Mn films was characterized by X-ray photoelectronic spectrometry (XPS). From the X-ray diffraction (XRD) data of the samples, it can be found that Mn doping does not change the orientation of ZnO thin films. All the films prepared have a wurtzite structure and grow mainly along the c-axis orientation. The grain size and the residual stress were calculated from the XRD results. The optical transmittance of the film decreases with the increase of manganese content in ZnO. The room-temperature photoluminescence of the films shows that the in- tensity of near band energy (NBE) emission depends strongly on the Mn content. The hysteresis behavior indicates that the films with the Mn content below 9at% are ferromagnetic at room temperature.展开更多

Successful codoping of Mg^(2+)ions in upconversion nanoparticles(UCNPs) was supported by XRD, SEM, EDS, and PL analyses. The effects of Mg^(2+)doping on the morphology and the intensity of the upconversion(UC) emission were discussed in detail. It turned out that with the concentration of Mg^(2+)increasing, the morphology of the nanoparticles turn to change gradually and the UC emission was increasing gradually as well. Notably the UC fluorescence intensities of Er^(3+)were gradually improved owing to the codoped Mg^(2+)and then achieved a maximum level as the concentration of Mg^(2+)ions was 60 mol% from the amendment of the crystal structure of β-NaGdF_4:Yb^(3+),Er^(3+)nanoparticles. Moreover, the UC luminescence properties of the rare-earth(Yb3+, Er^(3+)) ions codoped NaGdF_4 nanocrystals were investigated in detail under 980-nm excitation.展开更多

It is further evident that the current and optical intensity dependent PRs rotate reversely around the same axis. Thus we propose an optical-electric synchronous control scheme to obtain orthogonal polarization states with power-equalization, and implement it by a polarization-sensitive SOA. The polarization duration time is about 10 ns which is applicable to high-speed polarization state generation.展开更多

In the experiment we started from zero Celsius temperature to isolate the deeper traps. We have proposed and realized three methods for simultaneous determination of trap depth and decay parameter based on the quasi-equilibrium model and experimental data. If we treat the case of kinetic order a = 1 as a = 2, the error might be as large as 100%.展开更多

The influences of the working pressure during deposition and the substrate temperature on the electrochemical behavior of electrode were characterized by steady-state polarization plot and Tafel polarization curve measurements. And the physical properties of electrodes were characterized by XRD, SEM, AFM and EDS.

The Eu complex was blended with poly N-vinylcarbazole (PVK) in different weight ratios and spin coated into films. The luminescence properties of films were investigated and energy transfer between PVK and the complex was discussed. Multilayer structural devices consisting of ITO/PVK: Eu (TTA)2 (N-HPA) phen/BCP/Alq3/Al were fabricated with PVK : Eu (TTA)2(N-HPA) as light-emitting layer. Increasing the concentration of Eu in the PVK thin film would inhibit the emission of PVK to different degrees. Finally, the pure red luminescence of europium( Ⅲ ) was observed when the doping weight ratio was approximately 1 : 5, which indicated an effective energy transfer from PVK to rare earth complex.展开更多

The corresponding devices did exhibit electrical bistability and negative differential resistance(NDR) effects. A large ON/OFF current ratio of 104 at negative voltages was obtained by applying different amplitudes of sweeping voltage. The observed conductance switching and the negative differential resistance are attributed to the electric-field-induced charge transfer between the nanocrystals and the polymer,and the charge trapping/detrapping in the nanocrystals.展开更多

X-ray diffraction, pho- toluminescence, photo-stimulated luminescence (PSL) and the turbidity of fluorozirconate glass containing BaCl2 nano- and micro-crystals were measured for the samples annealed at 290℃ for 10 rain The PSL was attributed to the characteristic emission of Eu2+ in nano-crystallites of BaCI2, which formed in the glass upon annealing. The PSL efficiency of the glass ceramic was increased by increasing the concentration of BaCl2, which, however, resulted in the decreasing in the transparency of the sample. The sample turned to a semi-transparent glass ceramic or even an opaque and milky white one from a near-transparent glass. The trade-off between optical transparency and PSL intensity over different concentrations of BaCl2 for X-ray imaging plate applications was briefly discussed.展开更多

The morphologies and microstructures of samples are examined by transition electron microscopy(TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR). Moreover, the microwave absorption properties of both graphene/PANI and GO/PANI/ GAunano composites are investigated in a microwave frequency band from 1 GHz to 18 GHz. The maximum reflection loss(RL) of GO/PANI/GAunano with a thickness of 2 mm is up to-24.61 d B at 15.45 GHz, and the bandwidth corresponding to RL at-10 d B can reach 4.08 GHz(from 13.92 GHz to 18.00 GHz) for a 2-mm-thick layer. The electromagnetic data demonstrate that GO/PANI/GAunano can be used as an attractive candidate for microwave absorbers.展开更多

By inserting BCP or Bphen between the active layer and the top cathode, all the performance parameters are dramatically improved. The power conversion efficiency is increased by about 70% and 120% with 5-am BCP and 12-nm Bphen layers, respectively, when compared with that of the devices without any buffer layer. The performance enhancement is attributed to BCP or Bphen (i) increasing the optical field, and hence the absorption in the active layer, (ii) effectively blocking the excitons generated in MEH-PPV from quenching at organic/aluminum (Al) interface due to the large band-gap of BCP or Bphen, which results in a significant reduction in series resistance (Rs), and (iii) preventing damage to the active layer during the metal deposition. Compared with the traditional device using LiF as the buffer layer, the BCP-based devices show a comparable efficiency, while the Bphen-based devices show a much larger efficiency. This is due to the higher electron mobility in Bphen than that in BCP, which facilitates the electron transport and extraction through the buffer layer to the cathode.展开更多

The Eu complex was blended with poly N-vinylcarbazole (PVK) in different weight ratios and spin coated into films. The luminescence properties of films were investigated and energy transfer between PVK and the complex was discussed. Multilayer structural devices consisting of ITO/PVK: Eu (TTA)2 (N-HPA) phen/BCP/Alq3/Al were fabricated with PVK : Eu (TTA)2(N-HPA) as light-emitting layer. Increasing the concentration of Eu in the PVK thin film would inhibit the emission of PVK to different degrees. Finally, the pure red luminescence of europium( Ⅲ ) was observed when the doping weight ratio was approximately 1 : 5, which indicated an effective energy transfer from PVK to rare earth complex.

文摘In order to investigate the impedance matching properties of microwave absorbers,the ternary nanocomposites of GO/PANI/Fe3O4(GPF) are prepared via a two-step method,GO/PANI composites are synthesized by dilute polymerization in the presence of aniline monomer and GO,and GO/PANI/Fe3O4 is prepared via a co-precipitation method.The obtained nanocomposites are characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),respectively.The microwave absorbability reveals enhanced microwave absorption properties compared with GO,PANI,and GO/PANI.The maximum reflection loss of GO/PANI/Fe3O4 is up to-27 dB at 14 GHz with its thickness being 2 mm,and its absorption bandwidths exceeding-10 dB are more than 11.2 GHz with its thickness values being in the range from 1.5 mm-4 mm.It provides that GO/PANI/Fe3O4 can be used as an attractive candidate for microwave absorbers.

文摘N-dodecanethiol capped zinc sulfide(Zn S) nanocrystals were synthesized by the one-pot approach and blended with poly(N-vinylcarbazole)(PVK) to fabricate electrical bistable devices. The corresponding devices did exhibit electrical bistability and negative differential resistance(NDR) effects. A large ON/OFF current ratio of 104 at negative voltages was obtained by applying different amplitudes of sweeping voltage. The observed conductance switching and the negative differential resistance are attributed to the electric-field-induced charge transfer between the nanocrystals and the polymer,and the charge trapping/detrapping in the nanocrystals.

文摘We report on the fabrication and electrical characteristics of Ga-doped ZnO thin film transistors(TFTs).Low Ga-doped(0.7wt%)ZnO thin films were deposited on SiO_(2)/p−Si substrates by rf magnetron sputtering.The GZO TFTs show a mobility of 1.76 cm2/V⋅s,an on/off ratio of 1.0×10^(6),and a threshold voltage of 35 V.The time−dependent instability of the TFT is studied.The VTH shifts negatively.In addition,the device shows a decrease of the on/off ratio,mainly due to the increase of the off-current.The mechanisms of instability are discussed.

文摘Small molecule organic photovoltaics(SMPVs) were prepared by utilizing liquid crystalline donor material BTR-Cl and two similar optical bandgap non-fullerene acceptor materials BTP-BO-4 F and Y6.The BTPBO-4 F and Y6 have the similar optical bandgap and different absorption coefficients.The corresponding binary SMPVs exhibit different short circuit current density(/sc)(20.38 vs.23.24 mA cm^(-2)),and fill factor(FF)(70.77% vs.67.21%).A 14.46% power conversion efficiency(PCE) is acquired in ternary SMPVs with 30 wt% Y6,companied with a JSC of 24.17 mA cm^(-2) a FF of 68.78% and an open circuit voltage(Voc) of 0.87 V.The improvement on PCE of ternary SMPVs should originate from the well trade-off between phase separation and photon harvesting of ternary active layers by incorporating 30 wt% Y6 in acceptors.This work may deliver insight onto the improved performance of SMPVs by superposing the superiorities of binary SMPVs with similar optical bandgap acceptors into one ternary cell.

文摘A series of Eu2+-doped fluorochlorozirconate glass-ceramics were prepared by solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction, pho- toluminescence, photo-stimulated luminescence (PSL) and the turbidity of fluorozirconate glass containing BaCl2 nano- and micro-crystals were measured for the samples annealed at 290℃ for 10 rain The PSL was attributed to the characteristic emission of Eu2+ in nano-crystallites of BaCI2, which formed in the glass upon annealing. The PSL efficiency of the glass ceramic was increased by increasing the concentration of BaCl2, which, however, resulted in the decreasing in the transparency of the sample. The sample turned to a semi-transparent glass ceramic or even an opaque and milky white one from a near-transparent glass. The trade-off between optical transparency and PSL intensity over different concentrations of BaCl2 for X-ray imaging plate applications was briefly discussed.

文摘A composite of graphene/PANI/GAunano is synthesized using the co-blend method. The morphologies and microstructures of samples are examined by transition electron microscopy(TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR). Moreover, the microwave absorption properties of both graphene/PANI and GO/PANI/ GAunano composites are investigated in a microwave frequency band from 1 GHz to 18 GHz. The maximum reflection loss(RL) of GO/PANI/GAunano with a thickness of 2 mm is up to-24.61 d B at 15.45 GHz, and the bandwidth corresponding to RL at-10 d B can reach 4.08 GHz(from 13.92 GHz to 18.00 GHz) for a 2-mm-thick layer. The electromagnetic data demonstrate that GO/PANI/GAunano can be used as an attractive candidate for microwave absorbers.

文摘In this work, bathocuproine (BCP) and bathophenanthroline (Bphen), commonly used in small-molecule organic solar cells (OSCs), are adopted as the buffer layers to improve the performance of the polymer solar cells (PSCs) based on poly(2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) (MEH-PPV): [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) bulk heterojunction. By inserting BCP or Bphen between the active layer and the top cathode, all the performance parameters are dramatically improved. The power conversion efficiency is increased by about 70% and 120% with 5-am BCP and 12-nm Bphen layers, respectively, when compared with that of the devices without any buffer layer. The performance enhancement is attributed to BCP or Bphen (i) increasing the optical field, and hence the absorption in the active layer, (ii) effectively blocking the excitons generated in MEH-PPV from quenching at organic/aluminum (Al) interface due to the large band-gap of BCP or Bphen, which results in a significant reduction in series resistance (Rs), and (iii) preventing damage to the active layer during the metal deposition. Compared with the traditional device using LiF as the buffer layer, the BCP-based devices show a comparable efficiency, while the Bphen-based devices show a much larger efficiency. This is due to the higher electron mobility in Bphen than that in BCP, which facilitates the electron transport and extraction through the buffer layer to the cathode.

文摘As typical quarternary copper-based chalcogenides,Cu–Zn–Sn–S nanocrystals(CZTS NCs)have emerged as a newfashioned electrocatalyst in hydrogen evolution reactions(HERs).Oleylamine(OM),a reducing surfactant and solvent,plays a significant role in the assisting synthesis of CZTS NCs due to the ligand effect.Herein,we adopted a facile one-pot colloidal method for achieving the structure evolution of CZTS NCs from 2D nanosheets to 1D nanorods assisted through the continuous addition of OM.During the process,the mechanism of OM-induced morphology evolution was further discussed.When merely adding pure 1-dodecanethiol(DDT)as the solvent,the CZTS nanosheets were obtained.As OM was gradually added to the reaction,the CZTS NCs began to grow along the sides of the nanosheets and gradually shrink at the top,followed by the formation of stable nanorods.In acidic electrolytic conditions,the CZTS NCs with 1.0 OM addition display the optimal HER activity with a low overpotential of 561 m V at 10 m A/cm^(2) and a small Tafel slope of 157.6 m V/dec compared with other CZTS samples.The enhancement of HER activity could be attributed to the contribution of the synergistic effect of the diverse crystal facets to the reaction.
