A novel Ag nanoparticles/TiO2 nanowires-based photodetector and glucose concentration detection
摘要： A unique vapour transport cum glancing angle deposition (VT-GLAD) technique was employed to fabricate titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanowires (NWs). The NWs were grown and assembled to form the clusters. Both brookite (412) and rutile (002) phase for TiO2 was obtained from X-ray diffraction (XRD). The d spacing of ~ 1.37 ? was calculated from the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of TiO2 NWs, which corresponds to (002) crystal plane. The silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) on TiO2 NWs were grown using thermal evaporation cum GLAD technique. The presence of Ag NPs on the TiO2 NWs enhanced the photoconduction as compared to bare TiO2 NWs device. The maximum photosensitivity of the Ag NPs/TiO2 NWs based device was recorded ~ 1.6 times compared to the bare TiO2 NWs based device at ? 2.5 V. The Ag NPs containing device was highly UV sensitive and maximum responsivity for the device was calculated to be ~ 2.3 A/W at 370 nm. The device also possessed high responsivity rejection (RR) ratio of ~ 6.5 between UV (370 nm) and visible (450 nm) light. The Ag NPs decorated TiO2 NWs based detector also showed response to white light. The different concentration of glucose into deionised (DI) water-based solution was detected precisely under white light illumination. The normalised (light/dark) detector current/glucose concentration value was decreased from ~ 0.19 to ~ 0.05 at ? 2.5 V, with an increase in glucose concentration into the solution from 40 mg/dl to 200 mg/dl.

Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue over TiO2 Pretreated with Varying Concentrations of NaOH
摘要： In this paper, different NaOH concentrations (2, 5, 10, and 15 M) were used to treat {001}TiO2. The effect of NaOH on the crystal structure, morphology, optical properties, light raw electronic-hole recombination, and degradation performance of {001}TiO2 on methylene blue were studied. The results demonstrate that rutile TiO2 appeared when the NaOH concentration was as high as 10 M, showing much better photolytic performance than others. As the concentration of sodium hydroxide increases, the morphology changes accordingly. The specific surface area increases and the optical electronic-hole recombination rate decreases. Radical scavenging tests showed that hydroxyl radical and hole are very important in photocatalysis.

Cu/Sb Codoping for Tuning Carrier Concentration and Thermoelectric Performance of GeTe-Based Alloys with Ultralow Lattice Thermal Conductivity
摘要： Pristine GeTe shows promising thermoelectric performance but is limited by the high carrier concentration (nH) from Ge vacancies and thermal conductivity. Herein, Cu/Sb was chosen as codopants to suppress the high nH and to decrease thermal conductivity. In this condition, a promising zT of ～1.62 under 773 K was acquired in the Ge0.85Te(CuSb)0.075 system proposed in this paper/work. Results show that as the dopant concentration increases, the power factor rises due to the reduction of the nH to ～1 × 1020 cm?3. Apart from this, the total thermal conductivity also declines from ～7.4 W m?1 K?1 to ～1.59 W m?1 K?1 originating from an ultralow lattice thermal conductivity, in which the multiscatter mechanism from grain boundaries and point defect disperses the frequency phonons di?erently. The ?ndings in this paper combine thermal and electronic strategies and lay the foundation to develop Pb-free thermoelectric materials.

Improved negative thermal quenching effect via high sensitizer doping content in NaGdF4 based active-core/active-shell architecture
摘要： The strategies of introducing interior defects and reducing mean particle size have been applied to improve negative thermal quenching effect (TQE) in Yb3+ sensitized fluoride upconversion (UC) nanocrystals (NCs) recently. Herein, an active-core/active-shell structure with high total Yb3+ doping content is used to enhance the absorption intensity of Er3+ ions. Moreover, the Er3+ activators are doped into the shell to enable the energy migration process from activators to surface defects. In this scenario, with the rise of temperature, the suppression degree of this energy migration process is enlarged followed by an improved negative TQE. Specifically, with rising the temperature from 293 K to 413 K, the integral upconversion emission intensity of 40Yb: NaGdF4@60Yb/2Er: NaGdF4 NCs increases by ~ 8.24 times, while that of NaGdF4@20Yb/2Er: NaGdF4 NCs with a similar mean particle size only enhances ~ 3.44 times.

A Geographically and Temporally Weighted Regression Model for Ground-Level PM2.5 Estimation from Satellite-Derived 500 m Resolution AOD
摘要： Regional haze episodes have occurred frequently in eastern China over the past decades. As a critical indicator to evaluate air quality, the mass concentration of ambient fine particulate matters smaller than 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5) is involved in many studies. To overcome the limitations of ground measurements on PM2.5 concentration, which is featured in disperse representation and coarse coverage, many statistical models were developed to depict the relationship between ground-level PM2.5 and satellite-derived aerosol optical depth (AOD). However, the current satellite-derived AOD products and statistical models on PM2.5–AOD are insufficient to investigate PM2.5 characteristics at the urban scale, in that spatial resolution is crucial to identify the relationship between PM2.5 and anthropogenic activities. This paper presents a geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) model to generate ground-level PM2.5 concentrations from satellite-derived 500 m AOD. The GTWR model incorporates the SARA (simplified high resolution MODIS aerosol retrieval algorithm) AOD product with meteorological variables, including planetary boundary layer height (PBLH), relative humidity (RH), wind speed (WS), and temperature (TEMP) extracted from WRF (weather research and forecasting) assimilation to depict the spatio-temporal dynamics in the PM2.5–AOD relationship. The estimated ground-level PM2.5 concentration has 500 m resolution at the MODIS satellite's overpass moments twice a day, which can be used for air quality monitoring and haze tracking at the urban and regional scale. To test the performance of the GTWR model, a case study was carried out in a region covering the adjacent parts of Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan, and Anhui provinces in central China. A cross validation was done to evaluate the performance of the GTWR model. Compared with OLS, GWR, and TWR models, the GTWR model obtained the highest value of coefficient of determination (R2) and the lowest values of mean absolute difference (MAD), root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE).

Effects of the Electrode Modification Conditions on the Performance of Three-state Electrochromic Devices via Spin- coating
摘要： Electrodeposition-based electrochromic devices capture numerous attentions due to their simple sandwich-type structure, facile and low-cost fabrication, and promising application. Herein, titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were modified onto fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) electrode via spin-coating technique with different rotation speed and precursor solution concentration, followed by sandwiching a suitable amount of gel electrolyte between the modified FTO electrode and a flat FTO electrode to fabricate the electrodeposition-based electrochromic device with reversible three-state optical transformation (transparent, mirror and black). A systematic study of correlation between electrode modification condition and morphological features of TiO2 thin films, as well as the performance of electrochromic devices, i.e. optical contrast, switching time, and cycling stability, were investigated. Optimized performances of three-stated electrochromic device could be obtained by properly manipulating the electrode modification conditions. The results in this study will provide valuable guidance for rational design of electrochromic device with satisfactory performance.

Concentration effects on the thermally-activated transport of polarons in conducting polymers
摘要： The impact of the polaron concentration on the temperature-mediated charge transport in one-dimensional organic materials is studied. Within the scope of a tight-binding description, our findings reveal that high-temperature diffusivity tends to increase as polaron concentration increases. Moreover, the activation energy for the polaron transport also increases with polaron concentration. Importantly, the polaron diffusivity follows an Arrhenius-like behavior with low activation energy.

Simultaneous determination of trace amounts of copper and cobalt in high concentration zinc solution using UV–vis spectrometry and Adaboost
摘要： Simultaneous determination of trace ions in zinc metallurgical solution provides effective process information for optimal control in zinc hydrometallurgy. In this paper, Ultraviolet and Visible (UV–vis) spectrometry with the analytical system based on nitroso R salt is applied to simultaneously determine the trace concentrations of copper and cobalt in high and varying concentration zinc sulfate solution. Firstly, fractional differentiation is applied to reduce the overlap between ions and covering of zinc on trace ions. Then, a multi-indexes fusion wavelength selection is utilized to find the optimal combination of variables for the partial least squares model. Next, to reduce the interference caused by competitive reaction and matrix effect of zinc ions, Adaboost creates a group of weak models to analyze trace ion concentration from multiple perspectives. Finally, Adaboost trains the sample weights and model weights of weak models and integrates those weak models into a strong model to predict the trace ion concentration comprehensively. A spectrum dataset containing 72 samples of zinc, copper and cobalt ions mixture solution is prepared for the proposed method. Results show that the proposed method can simultaneously determine the trace concentrations of copper and cobalt in high and varying concentration zinc sulfate solution accurately.

Defect analysis of TiO2 doped with ytterbium and nitrogen by ab initio calculations
摘要： Different defects are studied in the network of anatase TiO2 to improve the utilization of the material for photoelectrochemical applications. With the ab initio calculations, defect-induced TiO2 models with different doping concentrations and oxidation states of Yb and N dopants are studied. Oxygen-deficient systems are modeled, and the interaction of oxygen vacancy with the Yb and N dopant in the bulk of TiO2 is elucidated. Yb 4f states are coupled with the O 2p states reducing the band gap and shifting the absorption edge of the TiO2 toward visible regime. Increasing Yb doping concentration reduced the band gap, and the 2.08% Yb doping concentration is considered as an optimal Yb doping. Comparing the band structures of mono-doped and codoped samples, Yb, N codoping reduced the band gap while creating isolated states in the forbidden region. Compensated and non-compensated systems of Yb- and/or N-doped TiO2 models are studied. Charge compensation in Yb, N-codoped TiO2 stabilized the system, reduced the band gap without having isolated states and provided broader absorption band. The Ti16?xYbxNyO31?y, x = 2, y = 1, model provided minimum structure modification with the suitable band structure for photoelectrochemical applications explaining the experimental results for the synergistic effect of Yb, N codoping in TiO2.
