Nonetheless, the optical and electrochemical limitations of ZnO constrain its effectiveness. Typically, NiO can compensate these inherent defects in ZnO, thereby enhancing the performance of field-emitting devices. In this research, NiO-decorated ZnO thin films were fabricated on diamond surfaces using hydrothermal/sol-gel two-step method. The impact of varying Ni doping concentrations caused by nickel acetate solutions on the field emission properties was thoroughly investigated. Furthermore, this study involved the fabrication of NiO-decorated ZnO/micron diamond heterojunction composite structures, exploring the impact of the structure on the optoelectronic performance of the devices. The Ni doping concentration increases in the NiO films formed between the ZnO nanorods, the doped Ni exists in the ZnO/MCD composite structure as both Ni²⁺ and Ni³⁺, which are important materials for semiconductor electronic devices. The NiO decoration process induced the creation of defect levels within the bandgap of the nanorod array structure, consequently enhancing the photoluminescence performance of ZnO. Furthermore, the interaction between NiO and ZnO facilitated the formation of a p-n junction at the interface, generating an internal electric field. This electric field significantly improved the current conduction field and maximum current density of ZnO, thereby enhancing its electric field emission performance. The optical and electrical properties of ZnO nanorods doped at 0.1M exhibited the most favorable characteristics among all tested samples. At a doping concentration of 0.1 M, the turn-on electric field reaches a minimum value of 0.96 V/μm and the maximum current density J reaches a maximum value of 2.54 mA/cm². These results offer novel insights for advancing the development of integrated broadband optical devices.","PeriodicalId":48790,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology","volume":"110 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142431366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current vivid study converges the role of 2D MoO₃/g-C₃N₄ modified with green-precursor derived functional carbon nanomaterial (FCM). The morphological, structural and optical features of the composite were analysed using XRD, FESEM, EDX, FTIR, UV-VIS, Raman spectroscopy whereas its photocatalytic activity was assessed for the degradation of a pharmaceutical (acriflavine) and a textile (methylene blue) dye. The biocompatibility, reusability, chemical, thermal and hydrothermal stability of g-C₃N₄ and FCM when complemented with 2D-MoO₃ for improved charge transport and enhanced surface area including Z-scheme catalysis, results in a stable and an abundant reaction for nearly 100% degradation of acriflavine in just 60 minutes and 94% degradation of methylene blue (MB) in 100 minutes under visible light. This efficiency is found to be less than 60% for each material when used stand-alone. Further, the demonstration of efficient visible range utilization (from 300-500 nm) by the composite that exhibits up-conversion as well as broad photoluminescence from FCMs in its nano-dimension form, is observed. Possible effect of internal electric field which reduces the electron-hole recombination, the suitable band positions for Z-scheme charge transfer, ease of production and scaling up, cost effectiveness and multi-dye degradation study suggest that the proposed composite is highly suitable in the family of photocatalysis for environmental cleaning of multiple cationic dyes.","PeriodicalId":48790,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142431427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a novel 3D NiMnO₃/Ni(OH)₂/Ag NWs composite is synthesized via the introduction of Ag NWs. The introduction of Ag NWs synergistically influences the crystal structure and micro-morphology of the NiMnO₃/Ni(OH)₂/Ag NWs composite. The unique pentatwinned structure of Ag NWs facilitates the enhancement of the (110) and (101) crystal planes, which induces the movement of Ni 2p_3/2, leading to a significant increase of Ni²⁺ concentration in the composites. This ensures an abundance of ion adsorption sites, generating materials conducive to reactive activity. This new structure increases the density of active sites and establishes a conductive network, which optimizes the electron and ion transport paths, greatly reduces the diffusion resistance at the electrode-electrolyte interface, and improves the charge transfer efficiency, thus effectively increasing the specific capacity and energy density of the material. The NiMnO₃/Ni(OH)₂/Ag NWs//AC device exhibits a remarkable specific capacity of 350.478 mAh·g^-1 at a current density of 0.01 A·cm^-2, and its Ragone plot reveals a peak energy density of 81.107 Wh kg^-1 at a power density of 1699.871 W kg^-1. Additionally, it achieves an energy density of 60.532 Wh kg^-1 at a power density of 8490.072 W kg^-1.

In this study, we elucidate the construction of a Bi₂O₂CO₃ catalytic system capable of inhibiting oxidative electron transfer through the attenuation of homogeneous Bi⁰ particle formation, achieved through the judicious modulation of solvent ratios. This innovative architecture possesses a distinctive active site and enhances interfacial Bi-O electron transfer pathways via exposure to oxidized Bi³⁺. Upon photoexcitation, the Bi₂O₂CO₃ catalytic system undergoes structural distortions in its excited state that facilitate forbidden radiative relaxation, thereby fostering long-lived charge separation states. Remarkable catalytic activity was demonstrated in the remediation of pollutants, encompassing auto-oxidation and the catalytic degradation of superoxide radicals (•O₂^-) and holes (h⁺). Notably, the effective degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in aqueous media reached an impressive 86% under simulated visible light irradiation, accompanied by a reaction rate constant 3.08 times superior to that of the 5-Bi/Bi₂O₂CO₃ counterpart. Theoretical analyses revealed that the oxidized state of Bi₂O₂CO₃ exhibits a crystal structure with significant electron trapping capability, undergoing pronounced apparent relaxation phenomena on its surface while demonstrating an enhanced adsorption affinity for H₂O and O₂. The potential degradation mechanisms were rigorously investigated through High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC-MS), elucidating the photodegradation pathways and intermediates of TC.

In this paper, ANFs/FeCo hybrid aerogels were fabricated using ParaPhenylene TerephthalAmide (PPTA) as precursor via two-steps freeze-drying method, which offer three-dimensional network porous structure. ANFs/FeCo aerogel exhibited lightweight characteristic and excellent microwave absorption performance. The ultra-low density (14.35 mg cm^-3) of ANFs/FeCo aerogel was lower than the one of CNTs. The improvement of microwave absorption performance of ANFs/FeCo aerogels can be attributed to the three-dimensional network porous structure of aerogels and the introduction of magnetic FeCo alloys nanoparticles which can induce a cooperative effect of proper impedance matching, conduction loss, polarization loss, magnetic loss, and multiple scatting.
