Efficient Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Composed of Nanostructural ZnO Doped with Ti
摘要： Photoanode materials with optimized particle sizes, excellent surface area and dye loading capability are preferred in good-performance dye sensitized solar cells. Herein, we report on an efficient dye-sensitized mesoporous photoanode of Ti doped zinc oxide (Ti-ZnO) through a facile hydrothermal method. The crystallinity, morphology, surface area, optical and electrochemical properties of the Ti-ZnO were investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. It was observed that Ti-ZnO nanoparticles with a high surface area of 131.85 m2 g?1 and a controlled band gap, exhibited considerably increased light harvesting efficiency, dye loading capability, and achieved comparable solar cell performance at a typical nanocrystalline ZnO photoanode.

A Novel Multilayer Sandwich Fabric-based Composite Material for Infrared Stealth and Super Thermal Insulation Protection
摘要： At present, infrared stealth materials for advanced detection and stealth technology is usually prepared with low emissivity coating on the surface, but there are very few efficient infrared stealth materials based on textiles with lightweight and flexible features. In this paper, we designed a carbon nanotube-doped aerogel (CNTAs) sandwich structure on polyimide (PI) fabric by hot pressing and then coated with a low emissivity Al-doped ZnO (ZAO) on the outer surface. The surface emissivity lower than 0.5 due to the existence of ZAO and the thermal conductivity of the intermediate interlayer aerogels as low as 0.013 W/(m?K). Additionally, through experiments, theoretical derivation and simulation analysis, we found the resultant composite demonstrated a high infrared stealth performance with super insulation effect, implying it will have a fine prospect in infrared stealth and thermal insulation protection fields with its unique structure and excellent properties.

Manganese-doped zinc oxide hollow balls for chemiresistive sensing of acetone vapors
摘要： Both pure and Mn(II)-doped ZnO hollow structures were synthesized by a solvothermal reaction, and their phase structures, morphologies and elemental composition were characterized. SEM and TEM observations show the pure ZnO and the Mn(II)-doped ZnO balls to possess similar hollow structure with a particle size of about 1.5 μm. Their sensing properties were investigated, and the composite containing 1 atom% of Mn(II) (1% Mn-ZnO) is found be display the highest selectivity for acetone. The detection limit is 100 ppm acetone at 234 °C which is 4.6 times lower than that of the pure ZnO. In addition, the response time is shorter.

Preparation of Rod-like Aluminum Doped Zinc Oxide Powders by Sol-gel Technique Using Metal Chlorides and Acetylacetone Precursors
摘要： Al-doped ZnO (AZO) powders were prepared by using metal chloride precursors and the sol-gel technique. IR peaks observed at 1590 cm-1 and 1620 cm-1 indicated the formation of metal chelate as a consequence of the addition of acetylacetone to the metal chloride solution. TG-DSC analysis of the AZO gels confirmed the formation of metal chelate as evidenced by the development of several weight loss peaks accompanied by the introduction of new endothermic peaks. The resulting AZO gels were annealed at 500, 600, and 800 ℃ to study the effect of annealing temperature. XRD and SEM results showed that crystallization of AZO gels takes place around 600 ℃. Hexagonal wurtzite structure was identified as the main phase for all the samples. In addition, small shift of the XRD (002) peak coupled with XPS results from the AZO powders confirmed the successful doping of the ZnO powders. Micron sized rod-like AZO powders were uniform in dimension and morphology and remained stable even at 800 ℃.

Tuning the excitonic properties of ZnO:Sn thin films
摘要： The effects of Sn doping, deposition temperature, and post-annealing treatment on the excitonic behavior of ZnO:Sn (SZO) thin films deposited by dc-unbalanced magnetron sputtering have been studied. Sn doping induces the decrease of grain size and promotes the formation of oxygen vacancy-related trap states as indicated by A1 LO mode in Raman spectra and green emission in photoluminescence spectra. Using a critical point analysis of the dielectric functions from spectroscopic ellipsometry data analysis, Sn doping blueshifts the excitonic absorption and decreases the exciton lifetime via screening the electron-hole Coulomb interaction. By varying the deposition temperature from room temperature up to 300 °C (SZO-3), there is no change in excitonic absorption. Then, annealing of SZO-3 at 600 °C under oxygen environment (SZO-6) strongly improves the excitonic absorption as well as its lifetime. Critical point analysis on SZO-6 sample clearly reveals the excitonic transition at 3.38 eV and exciton-phonon complexes at 3.66 eV. Thus, the result is important to improve the functionality of doped ZnO with strong excitonic absorption for optoelectronic applications.

High acetic acid sensing performance of Mg-doped ZnO/rGO nanocomposites
摘要： Mg-doped ZnO/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposites were synthesized using a facile and cost-effective sol-gel procedure to detect acetic acid vapor. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) analysis were utilized to characterize morphologies, compositions of the nanocomposites, and optical properties of the synthesized nanostructures. The gas sensing measurements of spin-coated Mg-doped ZnO/rGO thin films were carried out for a temperature range of 150–350 oC at various acetic acid vapour concentrations. It was found that the Mg-doped sample with 20 wt. %/v of GO solution concentration exhibited the response/recovery time of 60 s/35 s with the best response of ~200% for 100 ppm of acetic acid at 250 oC.

Structural study of MgO and Mg-doped ZnO thin films grown by atomic layer deposition
摘要： Pure MgO, 1 and 10 at% Mg-doped ZnO layers were grown by atomic layer deposition technique onto (001)-oriented α-Al2O3 and GaN substrates. The structure and the microstructure of the deposited layers were studied by TEM in detail. The pure MgO layer starts to grow with epitaxy with (100)-type defects that transforms to random orientation. In the 10 at% Mg-doped samples epitaxial cubic MgO buffer layer forms at the interface. This buffer layer helps the ZnO to grow epitaxially in the case of α-Al2O3 substrate forming a ZnO/MgO/c-plane α-Al2O3 hetero-structure showing higher mobility with lower carrier concentration, while in the case on GaN substrate the ZnO is strongly textured. Consequently for higher concentration Mg doping (with the formation of MgO buffer layer) α-Al2O3 is better choice to grow epitaxial ZnO layer. The 1 at% Mg-doping of the epitaxial ZnO layer grown onto GaN substrate was successfully implemented, while in the case of α-Al2O3 substrate a thin cubic MgO buffer layer forms. This shows that the success of low concentration Mg doping in ZnO largely depends on the choice of substrate material as well.

Effect of operational parameters on the photocatalytic degradation of Methylene blue dye solution using manganese doped ZnO nanoparticles
摘要： Photocatalytic degradation of aqueous solution of methylene blue dye under UV light illumination was studied by using manganese doped ZnO (Zn1-xMnxO, where x = 0.00, x = 0.02 and x = 0.05) nanoparticles as a photocatalyst. The nanophotocatalysts were synthesized by wet chemical co-precipitation method. The structural, morphological, and optical properties of the photocatalysts were done by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX), photoluminescence (PL), Fourier Transform Infrared Ray (FTIR) and UV- visible spectroscopic techniques. An improved photocatalytic efficiency of ZnO was observed upon doping with Mn and 2% Mn-doped ZnO exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity among the doped samples. The effect of operating parameters such as amount of catalyst, the initial dye concentration, and initial pH on the rate of dye degradation using 2% Mn-doped ZnO was studied. Under the optimum operation conditions, approximately 99% of dye removal was achieved after 120 min of irradiation.

Polar surface dominated octagonal Sn doped ZnO nanowires and their room-temperature photoluminance properties
摘要： Polar surface dominated Sn doped ZnO nanowires (NWs) with an octagonal shaped cross section have been fabricated by chemical vapor deposition method. The NWs grew along [01 0] direction, and were wrapped by non-polar surface (2 0) and polar surfaces (0001) and (1 1). Planar defects in (0001) plane were formed in the middle of the doped NWs, and strain concentration occurred around the planar defects, which might lower the energy in the wurtzite lattice and thus maintain polar surface dominated configuration. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman tests reveal that the concentration of Oxygen vacancy (VO) was significantly lowered after doping, which led to the reduced deep level emission (DLE).

Enhancement of multi-photon Raman scattering and photoluminescence emission from Li-doped ZnO nanowires
摘要： Uniform Li-doped ZnO nanowires have been fabricated by thermal evaporation method. The ZnO formation and the Li incorporation have been discussed and the formation path of preparation products has also been explained in terms of the stability of Zn and Li vapor in an aerobic atmosphere. The strongest vibration mode at 437.2 cm?1 in the multi-photon Raman scattering of the as-prepared products at room temperature indicates that the Li-doped ZnO nanowires still keep the hexagonal (wurtzite) structure. Raman spectra of Li-doped ZnO with different doping concentrations confirm that the variation of Raman peaks in the range of 550 cm?1～650 cm?1 is caused by the doping of lithium. The photoluminescence property at room temperature shows a blue-shift compared with undoped ZnO in the ultraviolet region. The Gauss fitting analyzed results indicate that the broad-band is composed of one green luminescence (GL) band, one yellow luminescence (YL) band, and one red luminescence (RL) band, respectively. The GL (2.447 eV) could be attributed to the singly ionized oxygen vacancies. The origin of the YL (2.245 eV) could be assigned to the transition of an electron from the conduction band (or a shallow donor) to the Li acceptor level. The RL (1.977 eV) could be assigned to the transitions between a shallow donor (at low temperature) or the conduction band (at higher temperature). Furthermore, the luminescence spectra at low temperature confirm the increase of defect levels like oxygen vacancies.
