Experimental results obtained by SEM (scanning electron microscope), TEM (transmission electron microscope), transform Fourier infrared spectroscopy, pH meter confirmed the most effective conditions in modifying the MWNT surface at the 1:3 mixture of nitric and sulfuric acid at 60 ℃. The extinction coefficient value of functionalized MWNTs at 500 nm wavelength was determined to be 41.24 cm^2·mg^-1, while their dispersibility in DI water was about 12.85 mg/mL and stable in more than 3 weeks via UV-vis spectroscopy. The other important result is the decrease of volume resistivity from 7.98 × 10^6 MΩ·m ofPVA (polyvinyl alcohol) to 4.15 × 10^4 MΩ·m of PVA/1 wt% modified MWNT thin film.展开更多

Diamond possesses specific stiffness and strength arising from its special crystal structure. In this work, inspired by the diamond crystal structure, hollow-tube nickel materials with the diamond structure were fabricated using a diamond structured polymer template based on the Stereo Lithography Appearance technology. The diamond structured template was coated with Ni-P by electroless plating. Finally, the template was removed by high temperature calcinations. The density of the hollow tube nickel materials is about 20 mg/cm3. The morphology and composition of the resultant materials were characterized by scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the surface of the Ni film was uniform with the thickness of 4 gm. The mechanical property was also measured by stress and strain tester. The maximum compression stress can be reached to 40.6 KPa.展开更多

The unique solubility in polar solvents and crosslinkable ability of PFN-C render it a good can- didate for solution processed multilayer PLEDs. It was found that PFN-C can greatly enhance the electron injection from high work-function metal cathode, due to its pendant amino groups. As a result, PLEDs with PFN-C/Al cathode exhibited compara- ble device performance to the devices with Ba/Al cathode. The resulting green light-emitting device showed promising perfor- mance with a maximum luminance efficiency of 13.53 cd A-1.展开更多

Gapless graphene exhibits ultra-broadband and fast photoresponse while the 2D semiconducting MoS2 and GaTe exhibit high sensitivity and tunable responsivity to visible light. However, the device yield and repeatability call for further improvement to achieve large-scale uniformity. Here, we report a layer-by-layer growth of wafer-scale GaTe with a high hole mobility of 28.4 cm^2/(V.s) by molecular beam epitaxy. The arrayed p-n )unctions were developed by growing few-layer GaTe directly on fhree-inch Si wafers. The resultant diodes reveal good rectifying characteristics and a high photovoltaic external quantum efficiency up to 62% at 4.8 μW under zero bias. The photocurrent reaches saturation fast enough to capture a time constant of 22 μs and shows no sign of device degradation after 1.37 million cycles of operation. Most strikingly, such high performance has been achieved across the entire wafer, making the volume production of devices accessible. Finally, several photoimages were acquired by the GaTe/Si photodiodes with reasonable contrast and spatial resolution, demonstrating the potential of integrating the 2D materials with silicon technology for novel optoelectronic devices.展开更多

In this contribution, we present a simple compound 3-(3-(4,6-diphenyl-l,3,5-triazin-2-yl)phenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline through the facile Pd-catalyzed coupling of a triphenyltriazine boronic ester with 3-hromo-1,10-phenanthroline. It shows a high Tg of 112℃. The ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy measurements reveal a deep HOMO level of -6.5 eV. The LUMO level is derived as -3.0 eV, based on the optical bandgap. The low-temperature solid-state phosphorescent spectrum gives a triplet energy of -2.36eV. n-Doping with 8-hydroxyquinolatolithium (Liq, 1:1) leads to considerably improved electron mobility of 5.2 × 10 -6 -5.8 × 10 -5 cm2 v-1 S-1 at E=(2-5) × 10 5Vcm -1, in contrast with the triarylphosphine oxide- phenantroline molecular conjugate we reported previously. It has been shown that through optimizing the device structure and hence suppressing polaron-exciton annihilation, introducing this single Liq-doped electron-transport layer could offer high-efficiency and stable phosphorescent OLEDs.展开更多

The nickel ions between the layers could be reduced in situ to form size-tunable Ni nanocrystals, which endowed these nanotubes with tunable magnetic properties. Additionally, when used as the anode material in a lithium ion battery, the layered structure of the Ni3Si2O5(OH)4 nanotubes provided favorable transport kinetics for lithium ions and the discharge capacity reached 226.7 mA.h.g-1 after 21 cycles at a rate of 20 mA.g-1, Furthermore, after the nanotubes were calcined (600 ℃, 4 h) or reduced (180℃ 10 h), the corresponding discharge capacities increased to 277.2 mA.h.g-1 and 308.5 mA.h.g-1, respectively.展开更多

In the past few years, it has been witnessed an unprecedented advance in the field of metal halide perovskite nanomaterials based LEDs(Pe LEDs) with a rapid external quantum efficiency(EQE) increase from 0.1% to 14.36%. From the viewpoint of material chemistry, the chemical regulation of metal halide perovskite nanomaterials made a great contribution to the efficiency improvement of Pe LEDs. In this review, we categorize the strategies of chemical regulation as A-site cation engineering, B-site ion doping, X-site ion exchange, dimensional confinement, ligand exchange, surface passivation and interface optimization of transport layers for improving the EQEs of Pe LEDs. We also show the potentials of chemical regulation strategies to enhance the stability of Pe LEDs. Finally, we present insight toward future research directions and an outlook to further improve EQEs and stabilities of Pe LEDs aiming to practical applications.展开更多
