Self-Assembled Monolayer for Low-Power-Consumption, Long-Term-Stability, and High-Efficiency Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diodes.

Quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) are an emerging class of optoelectronic devices with a wide range of applications. However, there still exist several drawbacks preventing their applications, including long-term stability, electron leakage, and large power consumption. To circumvent the difficulties, QLEDs based on a self-assembled hole transport layer (HTL) with reduced device complexity are proposed and demonstrated.

Synthesis of novel Type-II MnNbO/g-CN Mott-Schottky heterojunction photocatalyst: Excellent photocatalytic performance and degradation mechanism of fluoroquinolone-based antibiotics.

Fluoroquinolone antibiotics have been encountered in aquatic environments in quantities giving rise to significant concern recently. To cope with this problem, it is necessary to design a semiconductor photocatalyst having excellent photocatalytic efficiency to eliminate the antibiotics. The heterojunction is a likely situate where the efficiency of relevant photocatalyst can be strengthened.

Synthesis of novel CuNbO/g-CN binary photocatalyst towards efficient visible light reduction of Cr (VI) and dyes degradation for environmental remediation.

The further development of an efficient and sustainable water treatment requires the development of a very active and controllable photocatalyst. The heterojunction is a promising site where the activity of such a photocatalyst can be enhanced. Organic dyes have become a severe concern in recent years owing to their significant presence in wastewater.

Thermocatalytic Hydrogen Production Through Decomposition of Methane-A Review.

Consumption of fossil fuels, especially in transport and energy-dependent sectors, has led to large greenhouse gas production. Hydrogen is an exciting energy source that can serve our energy purposes and decrease toxic waste production. Decomposition of methane yields hydrogen devoid of CO components, thereby aiding as an eco-friendly approach towards large-scale hydrogen production.

BPPO-Based Anion Exchange Membranes for Acid Recovery via Diffusion Dialysis.

To reduce the environmental impact of acids present in various industrial wastes, improved and robust anion exchange membranes (AEMs) are highly desired. Moreover, they should exhibit high retention of salts, fast acid permeation and they should be able to operate with low energy input. In this work, AEMs are prepared using a facile solution-casting from brominated poly-(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (BPPO) and increasing amounts of 2-phenylimidazole (PI).
