Effect of incorporation of sulphur on the structural, morphological and optical studies of CdSe thin films deposited by solution processed spin coating technique
摘要： Ternary compound semiconductor CdSexS1-x (x = 1, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.2 and 0) thin films were prepared on glass substrates by using simple solution processed spin coating technique. Cadmium acetate, sodium selenosulfate and thiourea were used as source materials for Cd2+, Se2? and S2? ions, while triethanolamine was used as a capping agent. The 25% concentred NH4OH solution was used as a complex reagent and also used to adjust the pH of the final solution ~ 11. The deposition conditions (rotation speed 2000 rpm for 30 s and substrate dried in the air at 120 °C for 2 min) were remain same for all the samples. The as-deposited thin films on glass substrate were annealed at 350 °C for 30 min. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows that all the samples were polycrystalline in the nature with hexagonal structure. The most of prepared thin films were highly textured along (002) plane and peak position for plane (002) is shifted with change in composition ‘x’. The average crystallite size in CdSexS1-x thin films were found between 62.6 nm to 93.4 nm. Scanning electron microscopy images showed uniform deposition morphology with spherical shaped grains distributed over entire glass substrate. Samples CdSe0.8S0.2 and CdSe0.6S0.4 thin films indicated interesting morphological features with the combination of spherical shaped nanoparticles and interconnected nanofibers which form hierarchical flowerlike micro-structure. Energy dispersive X-Ray studies confirmed that thin films were having approximately same stoichiometry of atomic ratio of elements Cd, Se and S as present in volumetric ratio of the reactants in chemical solution. Fourier transform infrared studies confirmed the formation of the Cd(Se,S) bonding in materials. The optical band gap of CdSexS1-x thin films were found as direct band gap in the range of 1.82 eV to 2.32 eV. As the incorporation of sulphur element increases, the band gap of CdSexS1-x thin film also increases. The CdSexS1-x thin films can be used as absorption layer in solar photovoltaic cell which is due to wide and fine tenability of the energy band gap.

One-step Fabrication of Bio-Compatible Coordination Complex Film on Diverse Substrates for Ternary Flexible Memory
摘要： Recently, resistance random access memories (RRAMs) have been studied extensively arising from the increasing demand for information. However, its flexible device remains challenging because the active materials involved need to be nontoxic, non-polluting, distortion-tolerable, and bio-degradable as well adhesive to diverse flexible substrates. In this paper, we employed tannic acid (TA) and iron ion (Fe (III)) coordination complex as the active layer in sandwich-like (Al/active layer/substrate) device to achieve memory performance. A nontoxic, biocompatible TA-Fe (III) coordination complex was synthesized by one-step self-assembly solution. The memory performance of TA-Fe (III) retention time up to 15000 s, yield up to 53%. Furthermore, the TA-Fe (III) coordination complex can form high-quality film and show stable ternary memory behaviors on various flexible substrates, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyimide (PI), printer paper and leaf. The device can be degraded by immerse in vinegar solution. Our work will broaden the application of organic coordination complex in flexible memory device with diverse substrates.

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.

High electromechanical strain properties in SrTiO3?modified Bi1/2Na1/2TiO3?KTaO3 lead?free piezoelectric ceramics under low electric field
摘要： This study investigated the structures, dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of (0.99?x)Bi1/2Na1/2TiO3?0.01KTaO3?xSrTiO3 (BNT?KT?100xST, x = 0.20 ~ 0.235) lead?free piezoelectric ceramics. These piezoceramics were synthesized by conventional solid?state reaction method. As a consequence, a large electrical strain and normalized strain (d33* ≈ 793 pm/V) can be obtained even under 3 kV/mm as low electric field for BNT?KT?22.5ST ceramics. The phase transition between nonergodic relaxor (NER) and ergodic relaxor (ER) under electric field might be responsible for its large strain. It means that BNT?KT?100xST lead?free ceramics can be a promising candidate for actuator applications.

In situ synthesis of ternary nickel iron selenides with high performance applied in dye-sensitized solar cells
摘要： Comparing with the binary chalcogenides, the ternary chalcogenides may achieve higher electrical conductivity and electrochemical activity due to the synergistic effect of the different metal cations. Herein, ternary nickel iron selenide (Ni0.5Fe0.5Se2) was fabricated through a facile one-pot solvothermal method with the assistance of glucose for the first time. The dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were assembled with the as-prepared Ni0.5Fe0.5Se2 as counter electrode (CE). Electrochemical measurements indicated that the Ni0.5Fe0.5Se2 possessed small electron transfer resistance at the interface between electrode and electrolyte, great electrocatalytic activity and reaction kinetics toward the reduction of triiodide. Compared with conventional Pt CE (7.24%), the DSSCs based on Ni0.5Fe0.5Se2 CE achieved a greater power conversion efficiency of 7.89%. Furthermore, this study provides a new idea and strategy with convenient method to synthesize Pt-free alternative materials.

2D visible-light-driven TiO2@Ti3C2/g-C3N4 ternary heterostructure for high photocatalytic activity
摘要： A novel 2D visible-light-driven TiO2@Ti3C2/g-C3N4 ternary heterojunction photocatalyst with modified interfacial microstructure and electronic properties was synthesized by ultrasonic-assisted calcination method. The remarkably active g-C3N4 could provide high productivity of photogenerated electrons and holes. Meanwhile, the O/OH-terminated Ti3C2 and by-product TiO2 could act as excellent supporters by migrating electrons in TiO2@Ti3C2/g-C3N4 hybrids. As a result, the highest photocatalytic activities in the degradation of aniline and RhB were increased to 5 and 1.33 times higher than that of pristine g-C3N4 under visible-light irradiation, respectively. Furthermore, we proposed that n–n heterojunction and n-type Schottky heterojunction were built up across their interfaces, which efficiently improve the transition of electrons and further promote the photocatalytic activity of TiO2@Ti3C2/g-C3N4 hybrids. More appealingly, all the results highlight that the environment-friendly TiO2@Ti3C2/g-C3N4 heterojunction hybrids would be desirable candidates for pollutants degradation.

Acetylene black quantum dots as a bridge for few-layer g-C3N4/MoS2 nanosheet architecture: 0D–2D heterojunction as an efficient visible-light-driven photocatalyst
摘要： Great progress has been made based on photocatalytic theory research in the past few years. There is, however, still a long way to go to popularize the application of photocatalytic materials. Here, we introduce a simple synthetic 0D–2D (D: dimensional) heterogeneous material with more efficient photocatalytic degradation. We construct acetylene black (AB) as a bridge to connect a graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nano-layer and two-dimensional MoS2 sandwich structure based on a simple hydrothermal synthesis and ultrasonic chemical loading. Loading 1% AB onto 2D g-C3N4/(x%)MoS2 not only accelerates the transfer of charge, but also reduces electron–hole recombination, which increases the photocatalytic efficiency per unit time. Studies have shown that the degradation rate of the ternary g-C3N4/AB/3.1%MoS2 catalytic materials can reach 94.29%, which is obviously higher than that of the pure g-C3N4 (80%) or MoS2 (51.74%) in degradation of methyl blue within 130 min. In this work, the ternary heterogeneous catalyst realizes the complementary characteristics between materials, broadens the photocatalytic properties and accelerates the degradation rate of pollutants, and provides a feasible solution to environmental friendliness.

Rationally Designed Fe2O3/GO/WO3 Z-Scheme Photocatalyst for Enhanced Solar light Photocatalytic Water Remediation
摘要： A novel ternary Fe2O3/GO/WO3 all-solid-state Z-Scheme photocatalyst was rationally designed. Structural, morphological, optical and electronic properties of the synthesized nanocomposite were investigated by XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-vis Diffuse Reflectance and Raman spectroscopy. The results revealed the successful synthesis of the nanocomposite materials. Uniquely, double absorption edges at 2.0 and 2.3 eV for Fe2O3/WO3 and triple absorption edges at 1.5, 1.8 and 2.1 eV for Fe2O3/GO/WO3 were investigated for the first time. Lower absorption band edges dominated for both Fe2O3/WO3 and Fe2O3/GO/WO3, while higher absorption edges dominated for pure nanomaterials. The enhanced interaction among GO, Fe2O3 and WO3 matrix explained the reduction in the CB energy leading to efficient electron separation and transformation and consequently improving the photocatalytic activity. The visible light photocatalytic performance of Fe2O3/GO/WO3 nanocomposites were evaluated for degradation of methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV) dyes as model water pollutants. The photocatalytic activity for degradation of both dyes was found to be greatly enhanced in the presence of ternary Fe2O3/GO/WO3 nanocomposite as compared to nanocomposite systems of Fe2O3/WO3, WO3/GO and Fe2O3/GO or pure Fe2O3 and WO3 nanomaterials. The enhancement in the photocatalytic performance of ternary Fe2O3/GO/WO3 nanocomposite was proven to be due to the all-solid-state Z-Scheme in which the photogenerated electrons in the CB of photosystem I (WO3) transferred through GO mediator and recombined with the photogenerated holes in the VB of Fe2O3 (photosystem II). So that, the electron-hole pair recombination can be suppressed in both systems. Moreover, the photocatalytic activity of the best Fe2O3/GO/WO3 nanocomposite (FGW 30) has been tested for the degradation of phenol. The results show that 95.4 % of phenol was degraded in 120 minutes. Thus, this study provides an efficient green Z-Scheme photocatalyst for water remediation utilizing solar light.

Shining black nanoscopic ternary zincospiroffite: A panchromatic light harvester for depollution
摘要： Nanostructured zincospiroffite (Zn2Te3O8), a promising photocatalyst for water purification and bacterial inhibition is reported for the first time. Sparkling black Zn2Te3O8 nanocrystals have been synthesized via template-free solvothermal method with minimum precursors, zinc acetate and tellurium powder, in a polymeric medium of beta-aminoethylamine. Optical and structural characterizations prove the crystalline nature and panchromatic light harvesting behavior of zincospiroffite. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman analysis and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy provide evidence for the anion deficiency in the crystals. A 3D crystal structure derived from XRD data confirms the bonding states. Panchromatic light harvesting behavior and reactive oxygen species generation from this unexplored semiconductor help visible to near IR driven photocatalysis and unprecedently high antibacterial activity.

Highly Sensitive Polarization Photodetection Using a Pseudo-One-Dimensional Nb <sub/> (1– <i>x</i> ) </sub> Ti <sub/><i>x</i> </sub> S <sub/>3</sub> Alloy
摘要： Low-symmetry layered two-dimensional (2D) materials with strong in-plane optical anisotropy can potentially be applied for polarization photodetection. This is especially true for those 2D materials with a direct bandgap, who can efficiently absorb light with specific axial polarization. However, discovering such new anisotropic 2D materials with direct band structure is still extremely challenging. Here, we fabricate a photodetector using a pseudo-one-dimensional (pseudo-1D) Nb(1-x)TixS3 alloy device, and demonstrate that it is highly sensitive to the polarized light due to the strong in-plane optical anisotropy and direct bandgap of the alloy by combining the angle-resolved polarization Raman spectroscopy (ARPRS), azimuth-dependent reflectance difference microscopy (ADRDM), polarization-dependent absorption spectroscopy (PDAS), and hybrid functional theory calculations. As a consequence, the polarization photodetector of the Nb(1-x)TixS3 alloy shows a large photocurrent anisotropic ratio and a high photoresponse. The choice of low-symmetry layered pseudo-1D Nb(1-x)TixS3 alloy in polarization photodetection might open up new functionalities for novel optoelectronic device applications.
