Abstract
HgTe colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are one of few materials that can realize near-to-midwave infrared photodetection. And the quality of HgTe CQD directly affects the performance of photodetection. In this work, we optimize the method of synthesizing HgTe CQDs to reduce the defect concentration, therefore improving the photoelectric properties. The photodetector based on HeTe CQD can respond to the light from the visible to mid-infrared band. Notably, a photoresponse to 4000 nm light at room temperature is realized. The responsivity and detectivity are 90.6 mA W-1 and 6.9 × 107 Jones under 1550 nm light illumination, which are better than these of most reported HgTe CQD photodetectors. The response speed reaches a magnitude of microseconds with a rising time of τr = 1.9 μs and a falling time of τf = 1.5 μs at 10 kHz under 1550 nm light illumination.

Effect of particle dispersion on electrochemical performance of Prussian blue analogues electrode materials for sodium ion batteries. Chemphyschem 2024; 25:e202300960. [PMID: 38179835 DOI: 10.1002/cphc.202300960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have advantages such as high voltage and low cost, making them one kind of the promising positive electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries. Particle dispersion is a key physical parameter of electrode materials, and understanding its impact on electrochemical performance is a prerequisite for obtaining high-performance PBAs. In this article, two PBAs samples with different particle dispersion were synthesized through sodium citrate-assisted co-precipitation method by means of staying and stirring. The influence of particle dispersion on electrochemical performance was investigated through polarization curve and AC impedance tests. It was found that PBAs with well-dispersed particles exhibited excellent rate performance, with a capacity of ~120 mAh g-1 at 1 C rate and a capacity retention of 75 % after 100 cycles. The capacity retention rate could reach 63 % at 5 C rate, far higher than that of PBAs samples with poor particle dispersion. From the perspective of electrochemical kinetics analysis, it has been shown that PBAs with well-dispersed particles exhibit smaller electrochemical polarization and faster Na+ diffusion reaction kinetics, which are key factors in achieving excellent rate performance.

Abstract
Understanding the growth mechanisms of HgTe nanoparticles (NPs) with varied shapes is crucial for their applications in infrared photodetection. Here, we investigated the growth mechanisms of HgTe NPs with nanorod, sphere, and tetrahedral shapes in depth. The HgTe NPs with a nanorod shape are obtained at low reaction temperatures and formed by breaking tetrapod branches, while HgTe NPs with sphere and tetrahedron shapes have been further achieved at increased reaction temperatures. The systematic crystal analyses demonstrate this effective shape control is related to the synergic effect among the anisotropic passivation of oleylamine, surface free energy, and reaction temperatures. Our findings have deepened the understanding of shape control of the HgTe NPs and inspired a growing passion in the design and engineering of infrared photodetectors using HgTe NPs.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) elementary tellurium (Te) has attracted intensive attention due to its potential applications in short-wave infrared photodetector devices. Here, we report hydrothermally synthesized 2D Te nanoflakes for short-wave infrared photodetectors with high performance. A Te-based photodetector exhibits a peak responsivity of 51.85 A W-1 at a 1550 nm wavelength, attributed to the efficient absorption of the phonons of 2D Te nanoflakes. Besides, the rising and decay time of the Te photodetector is calculated to be ∼19 μs and ∼21 μs, respectively, due to the rapid diffusion of charge carriers. In addition, Te-photodetectors exhibit a high specific detectivity (D*) of 1.88 × 1010 Jones and a superior external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 4148%. Our findings have demonstrated the development of high-performance short-wave infrared photodetectors with fast responses based on 2D Te nanoflakes.

Abstract
In this study, polyaniline (PANI) is prepared by means of chemical oxidization polymerization and directly loaded on the modified fiber ball (m-FB) to obtain macroscale polyaniline/modified fiber ball (PANI/m-FB) composite, and then its removal ability of Cr(VI) is investigated. The effects of different parameters such as contact time, pH value and initial concentration on Cr(VI) removal efficiency are discussed. The experimental results illustrate that the favorable pH value is 5.0 and the maximum removal capacity is measured to be 293.13 mg g-1. Besides, PANI/m-FB composites can be regenerated and reused after being treated with strong acid. The kinetic study indicates that the adsorption procedure is mainly controlled by chemical adsorption. More importantly, the macroscale of composites can avoid secondary pollution efficiently. Benefiting from the low cost, easy preparation in large scale, environmentally friendly, excellent recycling performance as well as high removal ability, PANI/m-FB composites exhibit a potential possibility to remove Cr(VI) from industrial waste water. The polyaniline (PANI) was coated on modified fiber ball (m-FB) to remove Cr(VI) in waste water, and this kind of PANI/m-FB composites can avoid secondary pollution efficiently due to its macrostructure. Furthermore, the removal capacity can reach to 291.13 mg/g and can be multiple reused.

Abstract
One-dimensional noble-metal Ag nanoparticle chains have been prepared by electrodepositing Ag/Bi superlattice nanowires in a porous anodic alumina oxide (AAO) template and following an annealing process in vacuum. It is found that Bi, as a sacrificial metal, can be removed completely after annealing at 450 °C with a vacuum degree of 10(-5) Torr. The regulation of particle size, shape and interparticle spacing of Ag NP chains has been realized by adjusting the segment length of the Ag/Bi superlattice nanowires and the annealing condition. With an extension of the annealing time, it is observed that Ag particles display the transform trend from ellipsoid to sphere. Our findings could inspire further investigation on the design and fabrication of metal nanoparticle chains.

Abstract
Anodic aluminum oxide based photonic crystals with periodic porous structure have been prepared using voltage compensation method. The as-prepared sample showed an ultra-narrow photonic bandgap. Asymmetric line-shape profiles of the photonic bandgaps have been observed, which is attributed to Fano resonance between the photonic bandgap state of photonic crystal and continuum scattering state of porous structure. And the exhibited Fano resonance shows more clearly when the sample is saturated ethanol gas than air-filled. Further theoretical analysis by transfer matrix method verified these results. These findings provide a better understanding on the nature of photonic bandgaps of photonic crystals made up of porous materials, in which the porous structures not only exist as layers of effective-refractive-index material providing Bragg scattering, but also provide a continuum light scattering state to interact with Bragg scattering state to show an asymmetric line-shape profile.

Abstract
A facile and universal synthetic approach for preparing superlattice nanowire (SLNW) arrays is developed. In this method, two kinds of elements are alternately electrodeposited into the holes of the anodic alumina oxide (AAO) template, automatically in separate electrolytes by a programmed device. This method is not restricted by the relative values of the reduction potentials of the elements, and the deposition of each element can be controlled independently. Three kinds of representative SLNW arrays containing noble-metal material (Ag/Ni), thermoelectric material (Bi/Sb) and magnetic material (Ni/Cu) with adjustable segment length are fabricated successfully.

Abstract
Large-scale SnO2 mesoporous nanowires have been successfully synthesized by an improved sol-gel method within the nanochannels of porous anodic alumina templates. In this method, chloride of stannic and urea are used as precursors, chloride of stannic is acting as source of tin ions, and urea offers a basic medium through its hydrolysis. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and selected-area electron diffraction are used to characterize the SnO2 mesoporous nanowires. It is found that the as-prepared nanowires consist of SnO2 nanoparticles and pores. They can be indexed as rutile structures and diameters are about 50-70 nm. The growth mechanism of the mesoporous nanowires is also been discussed. The band gap of the as-prepared mesoporous nanowires is 3.735 eV, determined by UV/visible absorption spectral results. The SnO2 mesoporous nanowires show strong and stable photoluminescence with emission peak centered at 3.730 eV, which has never been reported in nanowires. It could be attributed to the exciton recombination.

Abstract
The transmission phase grating on anodic alumina membrane (AAM) was fabricated by a lithography and chemical etching method to demonstrate the feasibility of fabricating diffractive optical elements on AAM matrix. The monochromatic light diffraction property of the sample grating was tested using lasers with wavelengths of 532 and 650 nm, respectively. The measured diffraction efficiencies of zeroth and first orders were in good agreement with the calculated results. This method may offer an approach to prepare surface pattern on alumina and could be used in fabricating diffractive optical components such as linear gratings.

It was shown that a solid-solid phase transition corresponding to the [Formula: see text]-Ga one happened in Ga particles upon cooling. Moreover, the ratio of the particles undergoing the solid phase transition to all particles increases with decrease of the particle size.

Abstract
Hexagonal silver nanowire (4H-Ag NW) arrays with preferred orientation are fabricated into the holes of porous anodic alumina membranes (AAMs) by direct current electrodeposition. The addition of tartaric acid and low deposition temperature are crucial conditions for the growth of 4H-Ag NWs. The thermal expansion properties of the as-prepared and annealed 4H-Ag NWs are studied by in situ x-ray diffraction in the temperature range from room temperature to 800 °C. The axial thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of the as-prepared sample decreases initially and increases subsequently, while that of the annealed sample consistently increases during the whole measuring process.

Abstract
Large-area ordered Ni nanowire arrays with different diameters have been fabricated by the direct current electrodeposition into the holes of porous anodic alumina membrane. The crystal structure and micrograph of nanowire arrays are characterized by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that the growth orientation of Ni nanowires turns from [110] to [111] direction with increasing diameters of nanowires. The mechanism of the growth was discussed in terms of interface energy minimum principle. The size-dependent orientation of Ni nanowire arrays has the important significance for the design and control of nanostructures.
