Abstract
Tin selenide (SnSe) holds great potential for abundant future applications, due to its exceptional properties and distinctive layered structure, which can be modified using a variety of techniques. One of the many tuning techniques is pressure manipulating using the diamond anvil cell (DAC), which is a very efficient in situ and reversible approach for modulating the structure and physical properties of SnSe. We briefly summarize the advantages and challenges of experimental study using DAC in this review, then introduce the recent progress and achievements of the pressure-induced structure and performance of SnSe, especially including the influence of pressure on its crystal structure and optical, electronic, and thermoelectric properties. The overall goal of the review is to better understand the mechanics underlying pressure-induced phase transitions and to offer suggestions for properly designing a structural pattern to achieve or enhanced novel properties.

Abstract
BiCuSeO oxyselenides possess a highlighted thermoelectric performance among oxides, which originates from their intrinsically low thermal conductivity. However, intrinsic factors causing low thermal transport are also detrimental to carrier transport, leading to ultralow carrier mobility and relatively low electrical transport properties. Here, high-conductivity single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are adopted as the charge channels to be embedded in a BiCuSeO-based matrix, providing a transport pathway for charge carriers. The results show that carrier mobility is increased to 188 cm2 V-1 s-1 due to the SWCNTs composited, triggering an enhancement in electrical transport properties. Besides, the SWCNTs embedded in the matrix introduce abundant interfaces, suppressing phonon transport and depressing lattice thermal conductivity. With these achievements, a maximum zT of 0.84 at 818 K is realized in the composite with 0.1 wt% SWCNTs. The mechanical property of the composites is strengthened as well because of the SWCNTs. The work indicates that the SWCNTs, as the charge channels, propose an effective approach for enhancing carrier mobility in BiCuSeO-based materials, finally optimizing the thermoelectric performance as well as the mechanical property.

Abstract
BiCuSeO oxyselenide, one of the best oxygen-containing thermoelectric materials, is promising with great potential applications. In this work, we present a high ZT of >1.3 in Bi0.90Pb0.10Cu0.96Fe0.04SeO fabricated via microwave synthesis and subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS). We added 3-4 atom % Fe to the Pb-doped BiCuSeO to regulate the hole carrier concentration and mobility to 0.8-1.0 × 1020 cm-3 and ∼40 cm2 V-1 S-1, respectively, achieving moderate electrical conductivity, high Seebeck coefficient, and low carrier thermal conductivity simultaneously in a dual-doped sample. Under the synergistic enhancement by stress field, dislocation, and nanophase, the lattice thermal conductivity of Bi0.90Pb0.10Cu0.96Fe0.04SeO is limited to 0.24-0.49 W m-1 K-1 at 300-873 K. The development of efficient preparation methods for high-performance thermoelectric materials is significant to promote the application of thermoelectric conversion technology.

Porous Pb-Doped ZnO Nanobelts with Enriched Oxygen Vacancies: Preparation and Their Chemiresistive Sensing Performance. CHEMOSENSORS 2022.

Abstract
Among various approaches to improve the sensing performance of metal oxide, the metal-doped method is perceived as effective, and has received great attention and is widely investigated. However, it is still a challenge to construct heterogeneous metal-doped metal oxide with an excellent sensing performance. In the present study, porous Pb-doped ZnO nanobelts were prepared by a simply partial cation exchange method, followed by in situ thermal oxidation. Detailed characterization confirmed that Pb was uniformly distributed on porous nanobelts. Additionally, it occupied the Zn situation, not forming its oxides. The gas-sensing measurements revealed that 0.61 at% Pb-doped ZnO porous nanobelts exhibited a selectively enhanced response with long-term stability toward n-butanol among the investigated VOCs. The relative response to 50 ppm of n-butanol was up to 47.7 at the working temperature of 300 °C. Additionally, the response time was short (about 5 s). These results were mainly ascribed to the porous nanostructure, two-dimensional belt-like morphology, enriched oxygen vacancies and the specific synergistic effect from the Pb dopant. Finally, a possible sensing mechanism of porous Pb-doped ZnO nanobelts is proposed and discussed.
