In this study, we introduced an innovative iron-based single-atom nanozyme (Fe−N/C) sensor array. This sensor array integrates both colorimetric and photothermal dual modes and is aimed at accurately distinguishing various SCMs. Fe−N/C catalyst is capable of facilitating the conversion of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into oxidized TMB (oxTMB) by activating O<sub>2</sub>, which can turn the colorimetric signal into a photothermal signal under external infrared laser irradiation, allowing for the quantitative detection of SCMs. By leveraging this dual-mode detection technology, the detection range for SCMs extends from 5 to 150 μM. The limits of detection (LODs) are 0.688–0.887 μM for the colorimetric method and 0.011–8.5 μM for the photothermal method. Different SCMs can suppress oxTMB to varying extents, generating distinct colorimetric and photothermal dual-mode response changes on the sensor array, successfully identifying five types of SCMs. Additionally, it has been utilized for detecting and distinguishing real food samples, including grape wine, pure milk, and raw egg.

Traditionally, achieving high outcoupling efficiency has relied on external optical elements, which increase manufacturing costs. This paper presents a novel approach of sandwiching a silver film between silver oxide and Di(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenyl-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine (NPB) films on a glass substrate to form a glass/silver oxide/silver/NPB system designed to enhance anti-reflective (AR) properties to improve the performance of green OLEDs. Experimental investigations revealed that incorporating 2 nm thick silver oxide (Ag<sub>2</sub>O) layer between the glass substrate and silver film results in a notable increase in the light transmittance of the electrode from 18 to 40 %. This enhancement is attributed to the formation of a silver film with conical surface structures, which reduce reflection and improve light coupling. The application of an AR NPB layer on the silver surface further increases the transmittance to ~70 %, demonstrating the effectiveness of the double anti-reflective coating. The devices with the Ag₂O/Ag electrode exhibited significant performance improvements, achieving a maximum luminance of 9573Cd/m<sup>2</sup>, which is approximately 75.3-fold higher than the plain Ag electrode and current efficiency of the Ag₂O/Ag device reached 4.26 Cd/A.</p>","PeriodicalId":54339,"journal":{"name":"ChemNanoMat","volume":"11 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143883884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review specifically focuses on various design approaches and emission mechanisms of white photoluminescent colloidal halide perovskite nanocrystals (CHPN) and their derivatives, irrespective of dimensional and materials types of perovskite. We compare three distinct sources of white light: narrow band edge free excitonic emission, dopant emission, and other broad-band emissions. The review supplements the potential of CHPN as single phosphors for WLEDs, highlighting their role in achieving cost-effective and environment friendly lighting solutions.

The sensing behaviour of the F−AgAu for several analytes of interest has been investigated by employing steady state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques.

For the first time, we aimed to evaluate the effects of plasma surface functionalization of HAp nanoparticles (NPs) on the chemical, physical, and bio-functional properties of chitosan films using experimental and computational evaluations. Atmospheric air plasma process was conducted on HAp NPs at two different air pressures (650 and 1300 mTorr) and four different exposure times (1, 3, 6, and 9 min), followed by fabrication of HAp/chitosan bionanocomposites.
