One-step growth of reduced graphene oxide on arbitrary substrates
摘要: Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has inherited the outstanding electronic, optical, thermal and mechanical properties of graphene to a large extent, while maintaining sufficient chemically active sites. Therefore, it has attracted a great deal of research attention in the fields of energy storage, electronics, photonics, catalysis, environmental engineering, etc. Currently, the most popular way to prepare rGO is to reduce graphene oxide, which is obtained by modified Hummer methods using tedious treatments in a harsh environment, to rGO flakes. Industrial applications demand advanced preparation methods that can mass produce highly uniform rGO sheets on arbitrary substrates. In this work, a one-step growth process is introduced that utilizes cellulose acetate as a precursor, without any catalysts, to produce uniform ultrathin rGO films on various substrates and free-standing rGO powders. Systematic spectroscopic and microscopic studies on the resulting rGO are performed. Prototypes of electronic and optoelectronic devices, such as field effect transistors (FETs), photodetectors, and humidity sensors, are fabricated and tested, demonstrating the intriguing applications of our rGO materials across a wide range of fields.

AIP Conference Proceedings [Author(s) CURRENT TRENDS IN RENEWABLE AND ALTERNATE ENERGY - Guwahati, India (4–6 December 2018)] - Study of laser induced micro-structural changes in reduced graphene oxide
摘要: Graphene is a promising 2D material for solar cell and energy storage applications. Graphene based materials such as Graphene oxide (GO) are proposed as anode materials for Lithium ion batteries, transparent conducting films, electrodes in polymer based solar cells and many other applications. The present paper discusses laser induced micro structural changes in reduced GO (r-GO) thin films. GO was prepared by Modified Hummers Method, which is easy and low cost method for its large-scale production. The samples were thermally annealed at 400°C to obtain r-GO. To study the influence of laser exposure on micro structure of r-GO, the Raman spectra was recorded after exposure to different time 2, 4, 6 and 8 minutes. Two different laser intensities (95 and 159 KW/cm2) were used to do the same. A blue shift in peak positions and change in ratio of intensity were observed in D and G peaks of Raman spectra after exposure. A total Raman blue shift of about 5 cm-1 is noted in each case, which is due to increased compressive stress between the carbon-carbon bonds. The Raman data was used for calculations of residual stress, grain size and defect density, which changes in gradual pattern with increase in power density and time of exposure. From these observations, it can be concluded that r-GO thin film undergoes micro-structural changes at exposed portion, without affecting rest of the film.

A hybrid nanomaterial with NIR-induced heat and associated hydroxyl radical generation for synergistic tumor therapy
摘要: Although photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are widely commended for tumor treatment recently, they still suffer severe challenges due to the non-specificity of photothermal agents (PTAs)/photosensitizers (PSs) and hypoxic tumor microenvironment. Here, an oxygen independent biomimetic nanoplatform based on carbon sphere dotted with cerium oxide and coated by cell membrane (MCSCe) was designed and synthesized with good biocompatibility, homologous targeting ability, and improved photophysical activity. Notably, MCSCe could realize accumulation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in tumor cells and hyperthermia under single laser (808 nm) irradiation, which were simultaneously utilized by itself to produce more toxic hydroxyl radical (·OH). Resultantly, the synergistic therapeutic effect against tumor cells was obtained under near infrared (NIR) laser irradiation.

Superior light harnessing and charge injection kinetics utilizing mirror-like nano cuboidal ceria coupled with reduced graphene oxide in zinc oxide nanoparticle based photovoltaics
摘要: Efficiency in nanoparticle based photovoltaics is limited by optical transparency, light absorption as well as detrimental back transfer of electron at the hetero-interfaces. Three dimensional (3D) micro/nanostructures with excellent light scattering properties play pivotal role in light harvesting efficiency in DSSCs. Present study deals with the design and development of ternary hybrid photoanode utilizing high quality mirror like nano-cuboidal ceria (CeO2 NC) and 2D- reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets in conjunction with ZnO nanoparticle. A ~6% power conversion efficiency has been achieved for photoanode with optimized CeO2 NC loaded with 1 wt% RGO into ZnO NP. CeO2 NC owing to its size and high quality mirror like facets provides a better light harvesting by multiple interactions of incident photon with the absorber as revealed by UV–Vis diffused reflectance and IPCE analysis. 2D- RGO is proposed to act as an electron sink and provides faster electron transport pathway. Inclusion of 2D- RGO sheets yields a better charge injection kinetics (keinj ~ 2.3 × 108 s?1 for ternary, 1.1 × 108 s?1 for reference device) and collection at FTO as well as elevated recombination resistance (Rrec) and photo-induced electron life time (τe), unveiled by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopic (EIS) analysis corroborates a reduced reverse tunneling of photo-injected electron at ZnO/sensitizer/redox couple interface.

Highly sensitive and selective room-temperature NO2 gas-sensing characteristics of SnOX-based p-type thin-film transistor
摘要: The high-performance p-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS)-based gas sensor is an important subject of research in the field of gas-sensing technology. In this work, we demonstrated a p-type MOS-based thin-film transistor (TFT) nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas sensor that used tin oxide (SnOX) for both the channel and sensing layers. The crystalline status, surface morphology, and atomic-bonding configuration of the thin-film were examined using X-ray diffraction, field emission-scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results indicated that the deposited thin-film was mainly composed of polycrystalline SnO with a tetragonal structure. The fabricated p-type SnOX TFT showed a maximum response value of 19.4-10 ppm NO2 at room temperature (RT, 25 °C) when operated in the subthreshold region, which was significantly higher than that of 2.8–10 ppm NO2 obtained from a p-type SnOX thin-film chemiresistor at RT. In addition, the SnOX TFT gas sensor showed significantly higher sensitivity to NO2 gas than to other target gases such as NH3, H2S, CO2, and CO at RT. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to a p-type MOS-based field-effect transistor-type gas sensor. Our experimental results demonstrate that the p-type SnOX TFT is a promising gas sensor that can operate at RT with high sensitivity and selectivity to NO2 gas.

General Synthesis of Ordered Mesoporous Rare-Earth Orthovanadate Thin Films and Their Use as Photocatalysts and Phosphors for Lighting Applications
摘要: Herein, the block copolymer templating sol-gel synthesis of a novel class of ternary oxide nanomaterials is reported. NdVO4, EuVO4, GdVO4, DyVO4, YVO4, and TmVO4 have been prepared as open mesoporous films by the dip-coating method using hydrated rare-earth nitrate salt precursors along with vanadium oxytrichloride. All materials crystallize in the tetragonal ZrSiO4-type structure with space-group I41/amd. Short-term treatment at 550 °C is found sufficient to initiate crystallization. Characterization via X-ray and electron diffraction, Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry confirms the single-phase nature and uniformity of the different orthovanadates with tailorable crystallite sizes. The integrated results from electron and atomic force microscopy, Kr-physisorption as well as in-situ and ex-situ synchrotron-based small-angle X-ray scattering reveal that the porosity persists throughout the thickness of films and the mesoscopic ordering is retained even after heating in air at 700 °C. Photobleaching experiments indicate that the sol-gel derived materials, showing an indirect band gap transition at (3.8±0.1) eV, exhibit good photocatalytic properties—the activity is highly superior to that of bulk films of the same nominal composition. Moreover, when doping GdVO4, YVO4, and solid solution GdVO4-YVO4 with trivalent rare-earth ions such as Eu3+, Dy3+, Er3+, or Tm3+ ions, the films hold promise as phosphors for lighting applications, which might pave the way toward development of (3-dimensional) intricate nanocomposites with unprecedented functionalities.

Sol-gel processed vanadium oxide as efficient hole injection layer in visible and ultraviolet organic light-emitting diodes
摘要: Low-cost, high-throughput and scalable production currently boosts organic electronic device towards solution processing. Sol-gel processed aqueous vanadium oxide (h-VOx) is facilely synthesized and proven to be efficient hole injection layer (HIL) in visible and ultraviolet organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Atomic force microscopy and X-ray/ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy measurements indicate that h-VOx behaves superior film morphology and exceptional electronic properties such as oxygen vacancy dominated non-stoichiometry and appropriate surface work function. With tris(8-hydroxy-quinolinato)aluminium as emitter, the visible OLED gives maximum luminous and power efficiencies of 6.3 cd/A and 3.2 lm/W, respectively, which are slightly superior to the counterpart with vacuum thermally-evaporated VOx (5.6 cd/A and 2.7 lm/W). With 3-(4-biphenyl)-4-phenyl-5-tert-butylphenyl-1,2,4-triazole as emitter, the ultraviolet OLED produces attractive short-wavelength emission of 379 nm with full width at half maximum of 40 nm and improved durability. The maximum radiance and external quantum efficiency reach 15.3 mW/cm2 and 2.92%, respectively, which are considerably enhanced in comparison with the corresponding reference (11.9 mW/cm2 and 2.32%). Current versus voltage characteristics and impedance spectroscopy analysis elucidate that h-VOx exhibits robust hole injection and accordingly high-performance OLEDs. Our results pave an alternative way for advancing organic electronic devices and VOx applications with solution process.

Conjugated Polymer–Assisted Grain Boundary Passivation for Efficient Inverted Planar Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要: Grain boundaries in lead halide perovskite films lead to increased recombination losses and decreased device stability under illumination due to defect-mediated ion migration. The effect of a conjugated polymer additive, poly(bithiophene imide) (PBTI), is investigated in the antisolvent treatment step in the perovskite film deposition by comprehensive characterization of perovskite film properties and the performance of inverted planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs). PBTI is found to be incorporated within grain boundaries, which results in an improvement in perovskite film crystallinity and reduced defects. The successful defect passivation by PBTI yields reduces recombination losses and consequently increases power conversion efficiency (PCE). In addition, it gives rise to improved photoluminescence stability and improved PSC stability under illumination which can be attributed to reduced ion migration. The optimal devices exhibit a PCE of 20.67% compared to 18.89% of control devices without PBTI, while they retain over 70% of the initial efficiency after 600 h under 1 sun illumination compared to 56% for the control devices.

Photocatalytic Reforming of Sugar and Glucose into H2 over Functionalized Graphene Dots
摘要: Photocatalytic reforming of biomass into H2 combining with its photosynthesis counterpart constitutes a sustainable carbon cycle that produces a clean solar fuel. This study reports the use of environmentally benign graphene-based photocatalysts to effectively reform sugar and glucose. We produce a catalyst consisting of sulfur and nitrogen codoped graphene oxide dots (SNGODs) by sequentially annealing graphite-derived graphene oxide with sulfur and ammonia, exfoliating the annealed product into dots, and autoclaving the dots in an ammonia solution. The codoping introduces quaternary nitrogen on the graphene basal plane to patch the vacancy defects and the autoclaving creates a conjugation between the nitrogen nonbonding states and the graphitic-π orbital by introducing peripheral amide and amino groups. These functionalization steps enlarge the electron resonance domain, narrowing the bandgap and inducing charge delocalization and separation. Here, when SNGODs deposited with a Pt cocatalyst effectively catalyzed H2 production from aqueous solutions of sugar and glucose under visible light irradiation for more than 80 h. The apparent quantum yields of the reforming of sugar and glucose reach 11% and 7.4%, respectively, under 420-nm monochromatic irradiation. This pioneer study demonstrates the superiority of using carbon-based photocatalysts for biomass reforming and provides a structure-tuning strategy for enhancing the catalytic activity.

Beta-lead oxide quantum dot (β-PbO QD)/polystyrene (PS) composite films and their applications in ultrafast photonics
摘要: Polymer composite films, particularly those based on polymers and layered nanomaterials, are attractive materials for exploiting the properties of multiple materials for applications in electronics and photonics. In this work, a beta-lead oxide quantum dot (β-PbO QD)/polystyrene (PS) composite film is successfully fabricated by a solution blending method. The β-PbO QDs are well-distributed within a β-PbO QD/PS composite film and the composite film is transparent and flexible. Owing to the almost complete insolubility of both β-PbO QDs and PS, the as-fabricated β-PbO QD/PS composite film holds the nonlinear photonic response from 540 nm to 1060 nm under complete water immersion, confirming its excellent stability to high humidity. Additionally, the β-PbO QD/PS composite film exhibits a considerable capacity for optical modulation owing to a strong nonlinear absorption coefficient compared with those of other two-dimensional (2D) materials. On the basis of a home-made β-PbO QD/PS composite film saturable absorber, stable mode-locked pulses at 1060 nm are generated under humid conditions. It is anticipated that the β-PbO QD/PS composite films enable the exploitation of new waterproof, flexible photonic devices based on functional 2D materials and polymers.
