The reducing capacity of LAHC on Tc(VII) was evaluated by investigating the adsorption of Cr(VI) as a non-radioactive surrogate for radioactive Tc(VII). Electrochemical analysis showed that LAHC exhibited a good reducing capacity, owing to its reduced carbon microspheres and surface oxygen-containing functional groups. The Cr(VI) adsorption on LAHC proceeded through heterogeneous chemisorption.

Layer-specific analysis across the stratum corneum, epidermis, and dermis enabled investigation of biochemical organization and compositional heterogeneity. In the stratum corneum, variations in the C–H stretching region revealed differences in lipid chain ordering and lipid-to-protein balance, with native human skin exhibiting higher lipid ordering and greater compositional homogeneity than reconstructed models. Amide I analysis demonstrated altered keratin-associated secondary structure organization in reconstructed skin systems, including increased β-sheet and disordered spectral contributions relative to native tissue. Melanoma-associated skin models exhibited enhanced nucleic-acid-related spectral contributions together with reduced collagen-associated signals in the dermal compartment, consistent with extracellular matrix remodeling.

Photoluminescence and time-resolved analyses further support increased non-radiative pathways and accelerated interfacial charge transfer in the Te-modified samples.

In this work, density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate the structural stability, electronic structure, and hydrogen adsorption thermodynamics of Ni-Mo and Ni-Mo-Cu alloy surfaces. Instead of treating average alloy composition as the sole descriptor, we analyze H adsorption configurations by combining nominal local surface ensembles, relaxed H-metal coordination, charge redistribution, site-projected PDOS, and H-metal bonding interactions. The results show that Mo-involved local environments strengthen H adsorption through enhanced H-metal orbital hybridization, whereas Cu-rich local motifs weaken overly strong H binding by reducing localized charge accumulation and moderating H-metal bonding. Among the investigated compositions, NiMoCu(1:1:4) provides more moderate H adsorption thermodynamics and a higher population of Cu-rich adsorption environments. These findings indicate that composition-dependent H adsorption originates from changes in the statistical distribution of local coordination motifs rather than from average composition alone.","PeriodicalId":247,"journal":{"name":"Applied Surface Science","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148691170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By adjusting the growth pressure during the close-spaced sublimation process, we can effectively modulate the Zn content in the films. This control mechanism is rooted in the difference in evacuation efficiency between Zn-containing species and other components. Zn atoms exhibit stronger bonding forces and lower volatility compared to Cd atoms, making them less likely to be pumped away under low-pressure conditions, thus accumulating in the film matrix. This pressure-dependent compositional tuning does not alter the chemical bonding environment of the CZT film, ensuring the maintenance of high crystalline quality. The films with higher Zn content show significantly improved electrical properties, including a higher resistivity (up to 1.17 × 10<ce:sup loc=\"post\">10</ce:sup> Ω cm) and a wider bandgap (1.7 eV), which effectively suppresses dark current and enhances noise performance.
