Abstract
In this work, the impact of nitrogen doping (N-doping) on the distribution of sub-gap states in amorphous InGaZnO (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) is qualitatively analyzed by technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulation. According to the experimental characteristics, the numerical simulation results reveal that the interface trap states, bulk tail states, and deep-level sub-gap defect states originating from oxygen-vacancy- (Vo) related defects can be suppressed by an appropriate amount of N dopant. Correspondingly, the electrical properties and reliability of the a-IGZO TFTs are dramatically enhanced. In contrast, it is observed that the interfacial and deep-level sub-gap defects are increased when the a-IGZO TFT is doped with excess nitrogen, which results in the degeneration of the device’s performance and reliability. Moreover, it is found that tail-distributed acceptor-like N-related defects have been induced by excess N-doping, which is supported by the additional subthreshold slope degradation in the a-IGZO TFT.

Abstract
Egg white-induced auto combustion has been used to synthesize undoped and Fe-doped CuO/Cu2O/Cu4O3 nanocomposites in a soft, secure, and one-pot procedure. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) investigations have been used to identify functional groups and the structural properties of crystalline phases present in the as-synthesized composites. Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (SEM/EDS) elemental mapping analyses and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) techniques were used to explore the morphological and compositional properties of these composites. N2- adsorption/desorption isotherm models have been used to examine the surface variables of the as-prepared systems. Based on the Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) technique, the magnetic properties of various copper-based nanocomposites were detected due to being Fe-doped. XRD results showed that the undoped system was composed of CuO as a major phase with Cu2O and Cu4O3 as second phases that gradually disappeared by increasing the dopant content. The crystalline phase’s crystallographic properties were determined. The average particle size was reduced when the synthesized systems were doped with Fe. The construction of porous and polycrystalline nanocomposites involving Cu, Fe, O, and C components was confirmed by SEM/EDS and TEM measurements. In terms of the increase in magnetization of the as-manufactured nanocomposites due to Fe-doping, oxygen vacancies at the surface/or interfacial of nanoparticles, while also domain wall pinning mechanisms, were investigated. Finally, employing the investigated production process, Fe doping of CuO/Cu2O/Cu4O3 nanocomposite resulted in the development of a single phase (CuO) exhibiting “pinned” type magnetization. This is the first publication to show that CuO/Cu2O/Cu4O3.

Abstract
Thin-film transistors (TFTs) made of solution-processable transparent metal oxide semiconductors show great potential for use in emerging large-scale optoelectronics. However, current solution-processed metal oxide TFTs still suffer from relatively poor device performance, hindering their further advancement. In this work, we create a novel ultrathin crystalline indium–boron–oxide (In-B-O) channel layer for high-performance TFTs. We show that high-quality ultrathin (~10 nm) crystalline In-B-O with an atomically smooth nature (RMS: ~0.15 nm) could be grown from an aqueous solution via facile one-step spin-coating. The impacts of B doping on the physical, chemical and electrical properties of the In2O3 film are systematically investigated. The results show that B has large metal–oxide bond dissociation energy and high Lewis acid strength, which can suppress oxygen vacancy-/hydroxyl-related defects and alleviate dopant-induced carrier scattering, resulting in electrical performance improvement. The optimized In-B-O (10% B) TFTs based on SiO2/Si substrate demonstrate a mobility of ~8 cm2/(V s), an on/off current ratio of ~106 and a subthreshold swing of 0.86 V/dec. Furthermore, by introducing the water-processed high-K ZrO2 dielectric, the fully aqueous solution-grown In-B-O/ZrO2 TFTs exhibit excellent device performance, with a mobility of ~11 cm2/(V s), an on/off current of ~105, a subthreshold swing of 0.19 V/dec, a low operating voltage of 5 V and superior bias stress stability. Our research opens up new avenues for low-cost, large-area green oxide electronic devices with superior performance.

Abstract
Solution-processed transparent conductive oxides offer the advantages of low-cost, high-throughput fabrication of electronic devices compared to the specific requirements of vacuum deposition techniques. However, adapting the current state of the art to ink deposition calls for optimization of the precursor ink composition and the postdeposition process. Solution processing of indium tin oxide films can be accomplished at reduced temperatures (250-400 °C) by annealing soluble precursor metal salts together with a fuel/oxidizer, causing an exothermic reaction with elevated local temperatures. Following layer-by-layer cycles of deposition and annealing, a postprocessing step is required via heating (300 °C) under a 5% H2 reducing atmosphere. To address the discrepancy between the versatility of ink deposition and the limitations of controlled atmosphere postprocessing, here we investigate the effects of postprocess dipping in aqueous sodium borohydride at room temperature as an alternative, which allows for a completely solution-based process from ink to film. In addition to postprocessing, the solution composition was also optimized by removing the fuel additive and by adjusting the In/Sn content. Indium tin oxide (ITO) films were spin-coated and annealed in air at 250, 300, and 400 °C and characterized by UV/vis spectroscopy to obtain optical transmittance, atomic force microscopy to obtain film thickness and surface morphology, and a Hall effect system for electrical parameters. Additional data from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicate that crystallinity is affected by the reducing environment. Results revealed an order-of-magnitude improvement of the Haacke figure of merit (FOM) from 4.3 × 10-4 Ω-1, 382 Ω/□ sheet resistance (Rs), and 84% transmittance (%T) for the traditional 9:1 In/Sn precursor ink with fuel additive followed by 300 °C of 5% H2-furnace post-treatment compared to that of the optimized fully solution-processed 8.5:1.5 In/Sn ink without fuel followed by an ambient air at 25 °C dipping in aqueous sodium borohydride, leading to 3.0 × 10-3 Ω-1 FOM, 84.5 Ω/□ Rs, and 87%T including the glass substrate.

Abstract
Surface micro-nanostructuring can provide new functionalities and properties to coatings. For example, it can improve the absorption efficiency, hydrophobicity and/or tribology properties. In this context, we studied the influence of micro-nanostructuring on the photocatalytic efficiency of sol-gel TiO2 coatings during formic acid degradation under UV illumination. The micro-nanostructuring was performed using the UV illumination of microspheres deposited on a photopatternable sol-gel layer, leading to a hexagonal arrangement of micropillars after development. The structures and coatings were characterized using Raman spectroscopy, ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. When the sol-gel TiO2 films were unstructured and untreated at 500 °C, their effect on formic acid's degradation under UV light was negligible. However, when the films were annealed at 500 °C, they crystallized in the anatase phase and affected the degradation of formic acid under UV light, also depending on the thickness of the layer. Finally, we demonstrated that surface micro-nanostructuring in the form of nanopillars can significantly increase the photocatalytic efficiency of a coating during the degradation of formic acid under UV light.

Abstract
Solution-based memristors are emergent devices, due to their potential in electrical performance for neuromorphic computing combined with simple and cheap fabrication processes. However, to achieve practical application in crossbar design tens to hundreds of uniform memristors are required. Regarding this, the production step optimization should be considered as the main objective to achieve high performance devices. In this work, solution-based indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) memristor devices are produced using a combustion synthesis process. The performance of the device is optimized by using different annealing temperatures and active layer thicknesses to reach a higher reproducibility and stability. All IGZO memristors show a low operating voltage, good endurance, and retention up to 105 s under air conditions. The optimized devices can be programmed in a multi-level cell operation mode, with 8 different resistive states. Also, preliminary results reveal synaptic behavior by replicating the plasticity of a synaptic junction through potentiation and depression; this is a significant step towards low-cost processes and large-scale compatibility of neuromorphic computing systems.

Abstract
Oxide semiconductors are key materials in many technologies from flat-panel displays,solar cells to transparent electronics. However, many potential applications are hindered by the lack of high mobility p-type oxide semiconductors due to the localized O-2p derived valence band (VB) structure. In this work, the VB structure modulation is reported for perovskite Ba2 BiMO6 (M = Bi, Nb, Ta) via the Bi 6s2 lone pair state to achieve p-type oxide semiconductors with high hole mobility up to 21 cm2 V-1 s-1 , and optical bandgaps widely varying from 1.5 to 3.2 eV. Pulsed laser deposition is used to grow high quality epitaxial thin films. Synergistic combination of hard x-ray photoemission, x-ray absorption spectroscopies, and density functional theory calculations are used to gain insight into the electronic structure of Ba2 BiMO6 . The high mobility is attributed to the highly dispersive VB edges contributed from the strong coupling of Bi 6s with O 2p at the top of VB that lead to low hole effective masses (0.4-0.7 me ). Large variation in bandgaps results from the change in the energy positions of unoccupied Bi 6s orbital or Nb/Ta d orbitals that form the bottom of conduction band. P-N junction diode constructed with p-type Ba2 BiTaO6 and n-type Nb doped SrTiO3 exhibits high rectifying ratio of 1.3 × 104 at ±3 V, showing great potential in fabricating high-quality devices. This work provides deep insight into the electronic structure of Bi3+ based perovskites and guides the development of new p-type oxide semiconductors.

Abstract
ConspectusTransparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are inorganic electrical conductors with optical band gaps greater than 3.3 eV. TCOs have been extensively explored in functional windows, touch screen applications, transparent displays, solar cells, and even electronic circuits. Amorphous metal oxide (a-MO) semiconductors are a TCO class that has made impressive progress since the first 2004 demonstration of their utility as the semiconducting layer in thin-film transistors (TFTs). Their excellent counterintuitive electron mobilities in the amorphous state fill the performance gap between amorphous silicon and polysilicon, widening TFT applicability to high-value products such as high-resolution flat panel displays and emerging flexible/wearable electronics. The possibility of solution processing MO "inks" from air-stable precursors, via roll-to-roll and high-throughput printing, further expands their appeal. However, most MO TFTs fabricated using solution-processing require postdeposition film annealing at elevated temperatures (>400 °C) to ensure high-quality films and stable charge transport. Thus, MO fabrication on and TFT integration with inexpensive and typically temperature-sensitive flexible polymer substrates remains challenging, as does reducing MO processing times to those acceptable for high-throughput semiconductor circuit manufacture. Consequently, new MO film processing methodologies are being developed to meet these requirements. Among them, science-based combustion synthesis (CS) and polymer doping are promising complementary approaches to optimize materials quality and manufacturing efficiency; they are the topic of this Account.This Account summarizes the progress in CS and MO polymer doping research, made largely at Northwestern University over the past decade, to create high-performance MO TFTs. Regarding CS, we begin with an overview of combustion precursor chemistry that strongly affects the resulting film quality and device performance. Then, single fuel and dual fuel combustion syntheses for diverse MO systems are discussed. Representative examples highlight recent advances, with a focus on the relationship between (co)fuel-oxidizer types/amounts, thermal behavior, film microstructure, and TFT performance. Next, the discussion focuses on polymer doping of several MO matrices as a new approach to achieve semiconducting MO compositions with excellent performance and mechanical flexibility. Thus, the effect of the polymer architecture and content in the MO precursor formulations on the MO film composition, microstructure, electronic structure, and charge transport are discussed. The concluding remarks highlight challenges and emerging opportunities.

Control of electronic band profiles through depletion layer engineering in core-shell nanocrystals. Nat Commun 2022; 13:537.

Abstract
Fermi level pinning in doped metal oxide (MO) nanocrystals (NCs) results in the formation of depletion layers, which affect their optical and electronic properties, and ultimately their application in smart optoelectronics, photocatalysis, or energy storage. For a precise control over functionality, it is important to understand and control their electronic bands at the nanoscale. Here, we show that depletion layer engineering allows designing the energetic band profiles and predicting the optoelectronic properties of MO NCs. This is achieved by shell thickness tuning of core-shell Sn:In2O3-In2O3 NCs, resulting in multiple band bending and multi-modal plasmonic response. We identify the modification of the band profiles after the light-induced accumulation of extra electrons as the main mechanism of photodoping and enhance the charge storage capability up to hundreds of electrons per NC through depletion layer engineering. Our experimental results are supported by theoretical models and are transferable to other core-multishell systems as well.

Abstract
If we can transparently produce energy, we may apply invisible power generators to residential architectures to supply energy without losing visibility. Transparent photovoltaic cells (TPVs) are a transparent solar technology that transmits visible light while absorbing the invisible short wavelengths, such as ultraviolet. Installing TPVs in buildings provides an on-site energy supply platform as a window-embedded power generator or color-matched solar cell installation on a building surface. The record-high power generation (10.82 mW) and photocurrent value (68.25 mA) were achieved from large-scale TPVs (25 cm2). The metal oxide heterojunction is the fundamental TPV structure. The high-performance TPVs were achieved by adopting a thin Si film between ZnO and NiO as a functional light-absorbing layer. Based on the large energy band gap of metal oxides, TPVs have a clear transmittance (43%) and good color coordinates, which ensure degrees of freedom to adopt TPV power generators in various colored structures or transparent power windows. The bidirectional feature of TPVs is ultimately desirable to maximize light utilization. TPVs can generate electric power from sunlight during the day and can also work from artificial light sources at night. In the near future, humans will acquire electric power without losing visibility with on-site energy supply platforms.

Abstract
A new heteroleptic complex series of tin was synthesized by the salt metathesis reaction of SnX2 (X = Cl, Br, and I) with aminoalkoxide and various N-alkoxy-functionalized carboxamide ligands. The complexes, [ClSn(dmamp)]2 (1), [BrSn(dmamp)]2 (2), and [ISn(dmamp)]2 (3), were prepared from the salt metathesis reaction of SnX2 with one equivalent of dmamp; [Sn(dmamp)(empa)]2 (4), [Sn(dmamp)(mdpa)]2 (5), and [Sn(dmamp)(edpa)]2 (6) were prepared via the salt metathesis reaction using complex 2 with one equivalent of N-alkoxy-functionalized carboxamide ligand. Complexes 1-5 displayed dimeric molecular structures with tin metal centers interconnected by μ2-O bonding via the alkoxy oxygen atom. The molecular structures of complexes 1-5 showed distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometries with lone pair electrons in the equatorial position. Using complex 6 as a tin precursor, SnO x films were deposited by chemical solution deposition (CSD) and subsequent post-deposition annealing (PDA) at high temperatures. SnO and SnO2 films were selectively obtained under controlled PDA atmospheres of argon and oxygen, respectively. The SnO films featured a tetragonal romarchite structure with high crystallinity and a preferred growth orientation along the (101) plane. They also exhibited a lower transmittance of >52% at 400 nm due to an optical band gap of 2.9 eV. In contrast, the SnO2 films exhibited a tetragonal cassiterite crystal structure and an extremely high transmittance of >97% at 400 nm was observed with an optical band gap of 3.6 eV.

Abstract
Metal oxides are intensively used for multilayered optoelectronic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Many approaches have been explored to improve device performance by engineering electrical properties. However, conventional methods cannot enable both energy level manipulation and conductivity enhancement for achieving optimum energy band configurations. Here, we introduce a metal oxide charge transfer complex (NiO:MoO3-complex), which is composed of few-nm-size MoO3 domains embedded in NiO matrices, as a highly tunable carrier injection material. Charge transfer at the finely dispersed interfaces of NiO and MoO3 throughout the entire film enables effective energy level modulation over a wide work function range of 4.47 – 6.34 eV along with enhanced electrical conductivity. The high performance of NiO:MoO3-complex is confirmed by achieving 189% improved current efficiency compared to that of MoO3-based green OLEDs and also an external quantum efficiency of 17% when applied to blue OLEDs, which is superior to 1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylene-hexacarbonitrile-based conventional devices. One pathway for improving the performance of optoelectronics is the tailoring energy bands of the charge transport layer. Here, Kim et al present a charge transfer complex composed out of nanodomains of MoO3 embedded within an NiO matrix, significantly improving green and blue OLED performance.

Abstract
Solid-state transistor sensors that can detect biomolecules in real time are highly attractive for emerging bioanalytical applications. However, combining upscalable manufacturing with the required performance remains challenging. Here, an alternative biosensor transistor concept is developed, which relies on a solution-processed In2 O3 /ZnO semiconducting heterojunction featuring a geometrically engineered tri-channel architecture for the rapid, real-time detection of important biomolecules. The sensor combines a high electron mobility channel, attributed to the electronic properties of the In2 O3 /ZnO heterointerface, in close proximity to a sensing surface featuring tethered analyte receptors. The unusual tri-channel design enables strong coupling between the buried electron channel and electrostatic perturbations occurring during receptor-analyte interactions allowing for robust, real-time detection of biomolecules down to attomolar (am) concentrations. The experimental findings are corroborated by extensive device simulations, highlighting the unique advantages of the heterojunction tri-channel design. By functionalizing the surface of the geometrically engineered channel with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibody receptors, real-time detection of the SARS-CoV-2 spike S1 protein down to am concentrations is demonstrated in under 2 min in physiological relevant conditions.

Abstract
Due to their various applications, metal oxides are of high interest for fundamental research and commercial usage. Per applications as catalysts or electrochemical devices, the tailored design of metal oxides featuring a high specific surface area and additional functionalities is of the utmost importance for the performance of the resulting materials. We report a new method for preparing free-standing films consisting of hierarchically porous metal oxides (titanium and niobium based) by combining emulsion polymerization and shear-induced monodisperse particle self-assembly in the presence of sol-gel precursors. After thermal treatment, the resulting porous materials can be used as electrodes in Li-ion batteries. The titanium and niobium sol-gel precursors were partially immobilized to the surface of organic core-interlayer particles featuring hydroxyl groups to obtain hybrid organic-inorganic particles through the melt-shear organization process. Free-standing particle-based films, in analogy to elastomeric opal films and colloidal crystals, can be prepared in a convenient one-step preparation process. After thermal treatment, ordered pores are obtained, while the pristine metal oxide precursor shell can be converted to the (mixed) metal oxide matrix. Heat treatment under CO2 leads to mixed-TiNb oxide/carbon hybrid materials. The highly porous derivative structure enhances electrolyte permeation. When tested as Li-ion battery electrodes, it shows a specific capacity of 335 mAh·g-1 at a rate of 10 mA·g-1. After 1000 cycles at 250 mA·g-1, the electrodes still provided a specific capacity of 191 mAh·g-1.

Abstract
A cerium-oxo nanocluster capped by chloride ligands, [CeIV38-nCeIIInO56-(n+1)(OH)n+1Cl51(H2O)11]10- (n = 1-24), has been isolated from acidic chloride solutions by using potassium counterions. The crystal structure was elucidated using single crystal X-ray diffraction. At the center of the cluster is a {Ce14} core that exhibits the same fluorite-type structure as bulk CeO2, with eight-coordinate Ce sites bridged by tetrahedral oxo anions. The {Ce14} is further surrounded by a peripheral shell of six tetranuclear {Ce4} subunits that are located on each of the faces of the core to yield the {Ce38} cluster. The surface of the cluster is capped by 51 bridging/terminal chloride ligands and 11 water molecules; the anionic cluster is charge balanced by potassium counterions that exist in the outer coordination sphere. While assignment of the Ce oxidation state by bond valence summation was ambiguous, Ce L3-edge X-ray absorption, X-ray photoelectron, and UV-vis-NIR absorption results were consistent with a CeIII/CeIV cluster. Systematic changes in the XANES and UV-vis-NIR absorption spectra over time pointed to reactivity of the cluster upon exposure to air. These changes were examined using single crystal X-ray diffraction, and a clear single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation was captured; an overall loss of surface-bound chlorides and water molecules as well as new μ2-OH sites was observed on the cluster surface. This work provides a rare snapshot of metal oxide cluster reactivity. The results may hold implications for understanding the physical and chemical properties of ceria nanoparticles and provide insight into the behavior of other metal-oxo clusters of significant technological and environmental interest.

Abstract
Developing new transparent conducting materials, especially those having flexibility, is of great interest for electronic applications. Here, our study on using the ozone-assisted atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique at a low temperature of 200 °C for making an ultrathin, transparent, flexible, and highly electroconducting nanohybrid of indium and aluminum oxides is introduced. Through various characterizations, measurements, and density functional theory-based calculations, excellent electrical conductivity (∼950 S cm-1), transparency (95% in the visible region), and flexibility (bendable angle of 130° for 10 000 cycles) of our nanohybrid oxide thin film with a total layer thickness below 15 nm (2-4 nm for alumina and 10 nm for indium oxide) have been revealed and discussed. Besides, potential sensing applications of our oxide films on a flexible substrate have been demonstrated, such as strain sensors, temperature sensors (25-100 °C, resolution of 0.1 °C), and NO2 gas sensors (0.35-3.5 ppm, optimum operation at 65-75 °C). With the great potential in not only transparent conducting oxide but also sensing applications, our multifunctional nanohybrid prepared using a simple ozone-assisted ALD route opens more room for the applicability of transparent and flexible electronics.

Abstract
Wide bandgap oxide semiconductors constitute a unique class of materials that combine properties of electrical conductivity and optical transparency. They are being widely used as key materials in optoelectronic device applications, including flat-panel displays, solar cells, OLED, and emerging flexible and transparent electronics. In this article, an up-to-date review on both the fundamental understanding of materials physics of oxide semiconductors, and recent research progress on design of new materials and high-performing thin film transistor (TFT) devices in the context of fundamental understanding is presented. In particular, an in depth overview is first provided on current understanding of the electronic structures, defect and doping chemistry, optical and transport properties of oxide semiconductors, which provide essential guiding principles for new material design and device optimization. With these principles, recent advances in design of p-type oxide semiconductors, new approaches for achieving cost-effective transparent (flexible) electrodes, and the creation of high mobility 2D electron gas (2DEG) at oxide surfaces and interfaces with a wealth of fascinating physical properties of great potential for novel device design are then reviewed. Finally, recent progress and perspective of oxide TFT based on new oxide semiconductors, 2DEG, and low-temperature solution processed oxide semiconductor for flexible electronics will be reviewed.

Abstract
Given the strong influence of surface structure on the reactivity of heterogeneous catalysts, understanding the mechanisms that control crystal morphology is an important component of designing catalytic materials with targeted shape and functionality. Herein, we employ density functional theory to examine the impact of growth media on NiO crystal faceting in line with experimental findings, showing that molten-salt synthesis in alkali chlorides (KCl, LiCl, and NaCl) imposes shape selectivity on NiO particles. We find that the production of NiO octahedra is attributed to the dissociative adsorption of H2 O, whereas the formation of trapezohedral particles is associated with the control of the growth kinetics exerted by ordered salt structures on high-index facets. To our knowledge, this is the first observation that growth inhibition of metal-oxide facets occurs by a localized ordering of molten salts at the crystal-solvent interface. These findings provide new molecular-level insight on kinetics and thermodynamics of molten-salt synthesis as a predictive route to shape-engineer metal-oxide crystals.

Abstract
Electrolyte-gated transistors (EGTs) hold great promise for next-generation printed logic circuitry, biocompatible integrated sensors, and neuromorphic devices. However, EGT-based complementary circuits with high voltage gain and ultralow driving voltage (<0.5 V) are currently unrealized, because achieving balanced electrical output for both the p- and n-type EGT components has not been possible with current materials. Here we report high-performance EGT complementary circuits containing p-type organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) fabricated with an ion-permeable organic semiconducting polymer (DPP-g2T) and an n-type electrical double-layer transistor (EDLT) fabricated with an ion-impermeable inorganic indium-gallium-zinc oxide (IGZO) semiconductor. Adjusting the IGZO composition enables tunable EDLT output which, for In:Ga:Zn = 10:1:1 at%, balances that of the DPP-g2T OECT. The resulting hybrid electrolyte-gated inverter (HCIN) achieves ultrahigh voltage gains (>110) under a supply voltage of only 0.7 V. Furthermore, NAND and NOR logic circuits on both rigid and flexible substrates are realized, enabling not only excellent logic response with driving voltages as low as 0.2 V but also impressive mechanical flexibility down to 1-mm bending radii. Finally, the HCIN was applied in electrooculographic (EOG) signal monitoring for recording eye movement, which is critical for the development of wearable medical sensors and also interfaces for human-computer interaction; the high voltage amplification of the present HCIN enables EOG signal amplification and monitoring in which a small ∼1.5 mV signal is amplified to ∼30 mV.

Abstract
Liquid-exfoliated 2D transition metal disulfides (TMDs) are potential substitutes for poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as hole transport layers (HTLs) in Organic Solar Cells (OSCs). Herein, high-yield and high-quality WS2 flake layers are prepared by comprehensively controlling the initial concentration, sonication processing time and centrifugal speed. The WS2 layers deposited on in situ transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) without plasma treatment show higher uniformity and conductivity than that formed on ITO after plasma treatment. With a significant increase in the short-circuit current density (JSC), the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PM6:Y6-based non-fullerene OSCs using optimized WS2 as the HTL is higher than that using PEDOT:PSS as the HTL(15.75% vs. 15.31%). Combining the morphology characteristics with carrier recombination characteristics, the higher quality of the ITO/WS2 composite substrate leads to better charge transport and a lower bimolecular recombination rate in OSCs, thereby improving the device performance.

Abstract
The development of methodologies for synthesizing carrier-transporting materials is critical for optoelectronic device fabrication. Amorphous metal oxides have emerged as potential carrier transport materials for perovskite tandem solar cells and flexible electronics due to their ease of fabrication and excellent electronic properties. However, perovskite solar cells employing amorphous metal oxides as the electron-transporting layers (ETLs) remain inefficient. This research describes a moderate dehydration reaction for the low-temperature synthesis of amorphous SnOx. We investigated this amorphous SnOx as the ETL for perovskite solar cells and demonstrated a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.4%, the greatest efficiency ever attained with an amorphous metal oxide ETL produced below 100 °C. Remarkably, the device maintained 85% of its initial efficiency for more than 4800 h. Furthermore, flexible perovskite solar cells based on this amorphous SnOx have a maximum PCE of 11.7%. Finally, this amorphous SnOx was used to fabricate LEDs and exhibited a maximum external quantum efficiency of over 3%.

Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) based on chemical mechanism (CM) attracts tremendous attention for great selectivity and stability. However, low enhancement factor (EF) limits its practical applications for trace detection. Here, a novel sponge-like Cu-doping SnO2 -NiO p-n semiconductor heterostructure (SnO2 -NiOx /Cu), was first created as a CM-based SERS substrate with a significant EF of 1.46×1010 . This remarkable EF was mainly attributed to the enhanced charge-separation efficacy of p-n heterojunction and charge transfer resonance resulted from Cu doping. Moreover, the porous structure enriched the probe molecules, resulting in further SERS signals magnification. By immobilizing CuPc as an inner-reference element, SnO2 -NiOx /Cu was developed as a SERS nose for selective recognition of multiple lung cancer related VOCs down to ppb level. The information of VOCs was recorded in a barcode, demonstrating practical potential of a desktop SERS device for biomarker screening.

Abstract
Source-gated transistors (SGTs), which are typically realized by introducing a source barrier in staggered thin-film transistors (TFTs), exhibit many advantages over conventional TFTs, including ultrahigh gain, lower power consumption, higher bias stress stability, immunity to short-channel effects, and greater tolerance to geometric variations. These properties make SGTs promising candidates for readily fabricated displays, biomedical sensors, and wearable electronics for the Internet of Things, where low power dissipation, high performance, and efficient, low-cost manufacturability are essential. In this review, the general aspects of SGT structure, fabrication, and operation mechanisms are first discussed, followed by a detailed property comparison with conventional TFTs. Next, advances in high-performance SGTs based on silicon are first discussed, followed by recent advances in emerging metal oxides, organic semiconductors, and 2D materials, which are individually discussed, followed by promising applications that can be uniquely realized by SGTs and their circuitry. Lastly, this review concludes with challenges and outlook overview.

Abstract
A systematic study of the adsorption of several harmful gases (CO2, NO, SO2, NH3y H2S) onto black phosphorene and three different black phosphorene oxides (BPO) is carried out through density functional theory calculations. In general, it is shown that BPOs are more suitable adsorbents than pure black phosphorene. Smaller values of adsorption energy correspond to CO2molecules, whilst those exhibiting larger ones are NH3, H2S, NO y SO2. It is found that SO2shows the greater difference in electronic charge transfer as well as the longer time of recovery among all species, being an electron acceptor molecule. Besides, it is revealed that physisorption induces changes of different order in the electronic, magnetic and optical responses of phosphorene systems involved. Greater changes in the electronic structure are produced in the case of NO adsorption. In that case, semiconductor nature and magnetization features of black phosphorene band structure become significantly modified. Moreover, a notorious effect of an externally applied electric field on the molecule adsorption onto BPOs has been detected. In accordance, adsorption energy changes with the applied electric field direction, in such a way that the higher value is favored through an upwards-directed orientation of NO y SO2adsorbates. Results presented could help to enhancing the understanding of BPOs as possible candidates for applications in gas sensing.

Abstract
The eventual exploitation of one-dimensional nanomaterials needs the development of scalable, high yield, homogeneous and environmentally friendly methods capable of meeting the requirements for fabrication of functional nanomaterials with properties on demand. In this article, we demonstrate a vacuum and plasma one-reactor approach for the synthesis of fundamental common elements in solar energy and optoelectronics, i.e. the transparent conducting electrode but in the form of nanotube and nanotree architectures. Although the process is generic and can be used for a variety of TCOs and wide-bandgap semiconductors, we focus herein on indium doped tin oxide (ITO) as the most previously researched in previous applications. This protocol combines widely applied deposition techniques such as thermal evaporation for the formation of organic nanowires serving as 1D and 3D soft templates, deposition of polycrystalline layers by magnetron sputtering, and removal of the templates by simply annealing under mild vacuum conditions. The process variables are tuned to control the stoichiometry, morphology, and alignment of the ITO nanotubes and nanotrees. Four-probe characterization reveals the improved lateral connectivity of the ITO nanotrees and applied on individual nanotubes shows resistivities as low as 3.5 ± 0.9 × 10-4Ω cm, a value comparable to that of single-crystalline counterparts. The assessment of diffuse reflectance and transmittance in the UV-Vis range confirms the viability of the supported ITO nanotubes as random optical media working as strong scattering layers. Their further ability to form ITO nanotrees opens a path for practical applications as ultra-broadband absorbers in the NIR. The demonstrated low resistivity and optical properties of these ITO nanostructures open a way for their use in LEDs, IR shields, energy harvesting, nanosensors, and photoelectrochemical applications.

Abstract
The development of high mobility organic laser semiconductors with strong emission is of great scientific and technical importance, but challenging. Herein, we present a high mobility organic laser semiconductor, 2,7-diphenyl-9H-fluorene (LD-1) showing unique crystallization-enhanced emission guided by elaborately modulating its crystal growth process. The obtained one-dimensional nanowires of LD-1 show outstanding integrated properties including: high absolute photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) approaching 80 %, high charge carrier mobility of 0.08 cm2 V-1 s-1 , Fabry-Perot lasing characters with a low threshold of 86 μJ cm-2 and a high-quality factor of ≈2400. Furthermore, electrically induced emission was obtained from an individual LD-1 crystal nanowire-based light-emitting transistor due to the recombination of holes and electrons simultaneously injected into the nanowire, which provides a good platform for the study of electrically pumped organic lasers and other related ultrasmall integrated electrical-driven photonic devices.

Abstract
Metal oxide thin-films transistors (TFTs) produced from solution-based printing techniques can lead to large-area electronics with low cost. However, the performance of current printed devices is inferior to those from vacuum-based methods due to poor film uniformity induced by the "coffee-ring" effect. Here, we report a novel approach to print high-performance indium tin oxide (ITO)-based TFTs and logic inverters by taking advantage of such notorious effect. ITO has high electrical conductivity and is generally used as an electrode material. However, by reducing the film thickness down to nanometers scale, the carrier concentration of ITO can be effectively reduced to enable new applications as active channels in transistors. The ultrathin (~10-nm-thick) ITO film in the center of the coffee-ring worked as semiconducting channels, while the thick ITO ridges (>18-nm-thick) served as the contact electrodes. The fully inkjet-printed ITO TFTs exhibited a high saturation mobility of 34.9 cm2 V-1 s-1 and a low subthreshold swing of 105 mV dec-1. In addition, the devices exhibited excellent electrical stability under positive bias illumination stress (PBIS, ΔVth = 0.31 V) and negative bias illuminaiton stress (NBIS, ΔVth = -0.29 V) after 10,000 s voltage bias tests. More remarkably, fully printed n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (NMOS) inverter based on ITO TFTs exhibited an extremely high gain of 181 at a low-supply voltage of 3 V, promising for advanced electronics applications.

Abstract
Nanofabrication schemes usually suffer challenges in direct growth on complex nanostructured substrates. We provide a new technology that allows for the convenient, selective growth of complex nanostructures directly on three-dimensional (3D) homogeneous semiconductor substrates. The nature of the selectivity is derived from surface states modulated electrochemical deposition. Metals, metal oxides, and compound semiconductor structures can be prepared with high fidelity over a wide scale range from tens of nanometers to hundreds of microns. The utility of the process for photoelectrochemical applications is demonstrated by selectively decorating the sidewalls and tips of silicon microwires with cuprous oxide and cobalt oxides catalysts, respectively. Our findings indicate a new selective fabrication concept applied for homogeneous 3D semiconductor substrates, which is of high promise in community of photoelectronics, photoelectrochemistry, photonics, microelectronics, etc.

Abstract
Oxygen is the second-largest-volume industrial gas that is mainly produced using cryogenic air separation. However, the state-of-the-art cryogenic technology thermodynamic efficiency has approached a theoretical limit as near as is practicable. Therefore, there is stimulus to develop an alternative technology for efficient oxygen separation from air. Mixed ionic electronic-conducting (MIEC) ceramic membrane-based oxygen separation technology could become this alternative, but commercialization aspects, including cost, have revealed inadequacies in ceramic membrane materials. Currently, diffusion-bubbling molten oxide membrane-based oxygen separation technology is being developed. It is a potentially disruptive technology that would propose an improvement in oxygen purity and a reduction in capital costs. Bubbles play an important role in ensuring the oxygen mass transfer in diffusion-bubbling membranes. However, there is not sufficient understanding of the bubble dynamics. This understanding is important to be able to control transport properties of these membranes and assess their potential for technological application. The aim of this feature article is to highlight the progress made in developing this understanding and specify the directions for future research.

Abstract
Developing transparent p-type semiconductors and conductors has attracted significant interest in both academia and industry because metal oxides only show efficient n-type characteristics at room temperature. Among the different candidates, copper iodide (CuI) is one of the most promising p-type materials because of its widely adjustable conductivity from transparent electrodes to semiconducting layers in transistors. CuI can form thin films with high transparency in the visible light region using various low-temperature deposition techniques. This progress report aims to provide a basic understanding of CuI-based materials and recent progress in the development of various devices. The first section provides a brief introduction to CuI with respect to electronic structure, defect states, charge transport physics, and overviews the CuI film deposition methods.

LED-driven controlled deposition of Ni onto TiO 2 for visible-light expanded conversion of carbon dioxide into C 1-C 2 alkanes. NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2021; 3:3788-3798. [PMID: 36133006 PMCID: PMC9417592 DOI: 10.1039/d1na00021g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2021] [Accepted: 04/20/2021] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Photocatalytic gas-phase hydrogenation of CO2 into alkanes was achieved over TiO2-supported Ni nanoparticles under LED irradiation at 365 nm, 460 nm and white light. The photocatalysts were prepared using photo-assisted deposition of Ni salts under LED irradiation at 365 nm onto TiO2 P25 nanoparticles in methanol as a hole scavenger. This procedure yielded 2 nm Ni particles decorating the surface of TiO2 with a nickel mass content of about 2%. Before the photocatalytic runs, Ni/TiO2 was submitted to thermal reduction at 400 °C in a 10% H2 atmosphere which induced O-defective TiO2-x substrates. The formation of oxygen vacancies, Ti3+ centers and metallic Ni sites upon photocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation was confirmed by operando EPR analysis. In situ XPS under reaction conditions suggested a strong metal-support interaction and the co-existence of zero and divalent Ni states. These photoactive species enhanced the photo-assisted reduction of CO2 below 300 °C to yield CO, CH4 and C2H6 as final products.

Abstract
Solution processing of nanomaterials is a promising technique for use in various applications owing to its simplicity and scalability. However, the studies on liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) of tungsten oxide (WO3 ) are limited, unlike others, by a lack of commercial availability of bulk WO3 with layered structures. Herein, a one-step topochemical synthesis approach to obtain bulk layered WO3 from commercially available layered tungsten disulfide (WS2 ) by optimizing various parameters like reaction time and temperature is reported. Detailed microscopic and spectroscopic techniques confirmed the conversion process. Further, LPE was carried out on topochemically converted bulk layered WO3 in 22 different solvents; among the solvents studied, the propan-2-ol/water (1 : 1) co-solvent system appeared to be the best. This indicates that the possible values of surface tension and Hansen solubility parameters for bulk WO3 could be close to that of the co-solvent system. The obtained WO3 dispersions in a low-boiling-point solvent enable thin films of various thickness to be fabricated by using spray coating. The obtained thin films were used as active materials in supercapacitors without any conductive additives/binders and exhibited an areal capacitance of 31.7 mF cm-2 at 5 mV s-1 . Photo-electrochemical measurements revealed that these thin films can also be used as photoanodes for photo-electrochemical water oxidation.

Abstract
Interfacial behavior of quantum materials leads to emergent phenomena such as quantum phase transitions and metastable functional phases. Probes for in situ and real time surface-sensitive characterization are critical for control during epitaxial synthesis of heterostructures. Termination switching in complex oxides has been studied using a variety of probes, often ex situ; however, direct in situ observation of this phenomena during growth is rare. To address this, we establish in situ and real time Auger electron spectroscopy for pulsed laser deposition with reflection high energy electron diffraction, providing structural and compositional surface information during film deposition. Using this capability, we show the direct observation and control of surface termination in heterostructures of SrTiO3 and SrRuO3. Density-functional-theory calculations capture the energetics and stability of the observed structures, elucidating their electronic behavior. This work demonstrates an exciting approach to monitor and control the composition of materials at the atomic scale for control over emergent phenomena and potential applications.
