Rectifying Behaviour and Photocatalytic Activity in ZnO Nanorods Array/Ag/CuSe Heterostructure
摘要: Ag incorporated vertically aligned ZnO nanorods array/CuSe thin film (ZnO NRs/CuSe TF) have been fabricated via a solution route, thermal evaporation and magnetron sputtering process. Ternary ZnO nanorods/Ag/CuSe heterostructure was studied by X-ray diffractometry, field emission-scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X ray spectroscopy, current–voltage measurement and a UV–Vis–near IR spectrophotometer. The photocatalytic performance was estimated by the degradation of Rhodamine B solution under UV–Vis light irradiation. The photocatalytic efficiency of the ZnO NRs/Ag/CuSe heterostructure is higher than that of ZnO NRs/Ag and ZnO NRs/CuSe counterparts due to the robust effects of the three functional components coupling. The localized surface plasmon resonance and two Schottky junctions (e.g. Ag/ZnO and Ag/CuSe) motivates photogenerated electron–hole separation and transfer. This work presents an artificial manipulated system to enhance light harvesting, efficient charge separation and transfer, and low recombination rate in solar energy conversion.

Imaging the local electronic and magnetic properties of intrinsically phase separated Rb<sub>x</sub>Fe<sub>2-y</sub>Se<sub>2</sub> superconductor using scanning microscopy techniques
摘要: The discovery in 2008 of the iron-based superconducting pnictide and chalcogenide compounds has provided an entirely new family of materials for studying the crucial interplay between superconductivity and magnetism in unconventional superconductors. The alkali-metal-intercalated iron selenide (AxFe2?ySe2, A = alkali metal) superconductors are of particular interest owing to their relatively high transition temperatures of 30 K and the co-existence of the superconducting state with antiferromagnetic ordering. Intrinsic phase separation on the mesoscopic scale is known to occur in “single crystals” of these compounds, adding to the complexity of interpretation of bulk property measurements. In this study, we investigate the local electronic structure and chemistry of RbxFe2?ySe2 crystals using scanning microscopy techniques. Nano-focussed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (NanoARPES) has enabled the band structure of the minority superconducting phase and the non-superconducting matrix to be measured independently and linked to the surface chemistry from the same regions using core-level spectroscopy. Valence band mapping reveals the characteristic microstructure of these crystals, but does not have sufficient spatial resolution to enable the precise morphology of the superconducting phase to be elucidated. Cryogenic magnetic force microscopy (MFM) has shown that the superconducting phase has a fine-scale stripey morphology that was not resolved in the SPEM experiment. The correlation of these findings with previous microstructural studies, bulk measurements and first-principles DFT calculations paves the way for understanding the intriguing electronic and magnetic properties of these compounds.

Radial Nanowire Assemblies under Rotating Magnetic Field Enabled Efficient Charge Separation
摘要: Developing efficient charge separation strategies is essential to achieve high power conversion efficiency in fields of chemistry, biology and material science. Herein, we develop a facile strategy for fabrication of unique wafer-scale radial nanowire assemblies by exploiting shear force in rotary solution. The assembling mechanism can be well revealed by the large-scale stochastic dynamics simulation. Free electrons can be rapidly generated to produce quantitatively tunable current output when the radial nanowire assemblies rotating under the magnetic field. Moreover, the photoconductive performance of the radial semiconductor nanowire assemblies can be remarkably enhanced as the electron-hole recombination was retrained by the efficient charge separation under the rotating magnetic field. Such large-scale unique nanowire assemblies will facilitate the design of efficient charge separation process in bio-system, sensors and photocatalysis.

Enhancement of Light Extraction from Organic Light-Emitting Diodes by SiO <sub/>2</sub> Nanoparticle-Embedded Phase Separated PAA/PI Polymer Blends
摘要: Using the phase separation of a binary immiscible polymer blend of poly(amic acid) and polyimide in combination with SiO2 nanoparticles, we have designed random nanopore and nanopillar patterns by a simple spin-coating technique. The spontaneously formed pattern structure was investigated by an atomic force microscope technique, which enhanced the external quantum efficiency of conventional green OLEDs up to a highest factor of 1.42. This enhancement is mainly attributed to the reduction of the total internal reflection at the interface of glass and air by the polymer hybrid layer on the backside of OLED devices. This work provides a new and practical approach to the development of efficient external outcoupling structures for OLEDs.

摘要: Cancer diagnosis is based on visual examination under a microscope of tissue sections from biopsies. But whereas pathologists rely on tissue stains to identify morphological features, automated tissue recognition using color is fraught with problems that stem from image intensity variations due to variations in tissue preparation, variations in spectral signatures of the stained tissue, spectral overlap and spatial aliasing in acquisition, and noise at image acquisition. We present a blind method for color decomposition of histological images. The method decouples intensity from color information and bases the decomposition only on the tissue absorption characteristics of each stain. By modeling the charge-coupled device sensor noise, we improve the method accuracy. We extend current linear decomposition methods to include stained tissues where one spectral signature cannot be separated from all combinations of the other tissues’ spectral signatures. We demonstrate both qualitatively and quantitatively that our method results in more accurate decompositions than methods based on non-negative matrix factorization and independent component analysis. The result is one density map for each stained tissue type that classifies portions of pixels into the correct stained tissue allowing accurate identification of morphological features that may be linked to cancer.

Mini-Review: Hydrogen Atoms in a High-Frequency Laser Field
摘要: Because of the continuing advances in developing lasers in the far-ultraviolet and x-ray ranges, studies of the behavior of atoms under a high-frequency laser ?eld are of theoretical and practical interest. In the present paper, we review various analytical results obtained by the method of separating rapid and slow subsystems for various polarizations of the laser ?eld. Speci?cally, we review the corresponding analytical results both in terms of the quantum description of the phenomena involved and in terms of the classical description of the phenomena involved. We point out that, for the classical description of hydrogen atoms in a high-frequency laser ?eld, there are interesting celestial analogies. We discuss hidden symmetries of these physical systems, the advantages of this analytical method, and the connection between these results and the transition to chaos.

Understanding the Morphology of High-performance Solar Cells Based on a Low Cost Polymer Donor
摘要: A low cost and high performance bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cell comprising an emerging polymer donor, poly[(thiophene)-alt-(6,7-difluoro-2-(2-hexyldecyloxy)quinoxaline)] (PTQ10), shows an efficiency of 12.7%. To improve performance of the solar cells, a better understanding of the structure-property relationships of the PTQ10-based devices is crucial. Here, we fabricate PTQ10/nonfullerene and fullerene BHJ devices, including PTQ10/IDIC, PTQ10/ITIC, and PTQ10/PC71BM, processed with or without thermal annealing and additive, provide detailed descriptions of the relationships between the morphology and performance. PTQ10 is found to be highly miscible with nonfullerene IDIC and ITIC acceptors, and poorly miscible with fullerene PC71BM acceptors. Thermal annealing promotes the crystallization of PTQ10 and phase separation of all PTQ10/IDIC, PTQ10/ITIC, and PTQ10/PC71BM devices, leading to an increased power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of the PTQ10/IDIC and PTQ10/ITIC devices but a decreased PCE of PTQ10/PC71BM devices with 1,8-di-iodooctane (DIO) additive. Without thermal annealing, DIO greatly improves the morphology of PTQ10/PC71BM, leading to a higher PCE. The results show that the degree of phase separation and ordering in the PTQ10-based devices significantly influence device performance. The morphology-property correlations demonstrated will assist in the rational design of this low cost polymer donor based solar cells to achieve even higher performance.

Heterostructured PPy/ZnO layer assembled PAN nanofibrous membrane with robust visible-light-induced self-cleaning for high efficient water purification with fast separation flux
摘要: Developing superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic surface to restrict oil pollution from oil/water separation process has been an effective method. However, inevitable adsorption and aggregation of organic contaminants onto membrane surface from complex oily sewage usually caused irreversibly decrease of flux, injurie of anti-oilfouling and shorten lifespan for separation membrane. Thus, a neoteric antifouling and renewable membrane is high desired. Herein, based on stabilized PAN nanofibers and followed assembled heterostructured PPy/ZnO layer with hierarchical structures onto the nanofibers surface, we reported a robust visible-light-induced self-repairable oil/water separation membrane. The SPAN-PPy/ZnO membrane displays superhydrophilicity (≈0°) and underwater superoleophobicity (>150°) for different oils, robust mechanical strength (≈408 MPa of Young’s modulus) and underwater high oil intrusion pressure (>120 kPa). Importantly, the as-prepared membrane not exhibits ultrafast permeation flux and high separation efficiency for oil/dyes/water emulsion, but also displays robust recovery ability (96%) after organic-polluted after 20 min light irradiation. We anticipate this composite membrane with outstanding separation capablity and robust flux recovery capable can provide a novel method for treation the large volume of wastewater purification.

Optimizing the Phase-Separated Domain Size of the Active Layer via Sequential Crystallization in All-Polymer Solar Cells
摘要: Proper domain size of the active layer plays a key role in determining the exciton dissociation and charge transport in all polymer solar cells (all-PSCs). However, fine-tuning the domain size remains challenging due to low glass transition temperature and negligible mixing entropy in polymer blends. Herein, we systematically studied the influence of “crystallization kinetics” on the domain size and proposed that if donor and acceptor crystallize simultaneously, it is prone to form large domain size; while if sequential crystallization of donor and acceptor occurs, a fine phase separation structure with proper domain size can be obtained. Taking PBDB-T/PNDI blends for instance, the domain size was decreased by using sequential crystallization, meanwhile, the crystallinity and molecular orientation were optimized as well, boosting the power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 6.55% to 7.78%. This work provides a novel way to finely tune the heterojunction phase separation structures.
