Dynamic ion exchange engineering bismuth ferrite-derived BiOCO for rapid piezo-photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline.

Piezoelectric materials can generate the built-in electric field under ultrasound assistance, which is beneficial to the separation of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs in photocatalysis. Meanwhile, the ultrasound stress usually leads to accelerate electron transfer and enhance catalytic activity. Thus, piezo-photocatalysis technique is believed to be one of the effective techniques for organic pollutant degradation.

Stable Liquid-Sulfur Generation on Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides toward Low-Temperature Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

The electrochemical formation of liquid sulfur at room temperature on the basal plane of MoS has attracted much attention due to the high areal capacity and rapid kinetics of lithium-liquid sulfur chemistry. However, the liquid sulfur is converted to the solid phase once it contacts the solid sulfur crystals generated from the edge of MoS. Thus, stable liquid sulfur cannot be formed on the entire MoS surface.

Modulating Built-In Electric Field via Variable Oxygen Affinity for Robust Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in Neutral Media.

Work function strongly impacts the surficial charge distribution, especially for metal-support electrocatalysts when a built-in electric field (BEF) is constructed. Therefore, studying the correlation between work function and BEF is crucial for understanding the intrinsic reaction mechanism. Herein, we present a Pt@CoO electrocatalyst with a large work function difference (ΔΦ) and strong BEF, which shows outstanding hydrogen evolution activity in a neutral medium with a 4.

Flexible 2D Materials beyond Graphene: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications.

2D materials are now at the forefront of state-of-the-art nanotechnologies due to their fascinating properties and unique structures. As expected, low-cost, high-volume, and high-quality 2D materials play an important role in the applications of flexible devices. Although considerable progress has been achieved in the integration of a series of novel 2D materials beyond graphene into flexible devices, a lot remains to be known.

Thickness-dependent magnetotransport properties in 1T VSe single crystals prepared by chemical vapor deposition.

Two-dimensional (2D) metallic transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit fascinating quantum effects, such as charge-density-wave (CDW) and weak antilocalization (WAL) effect. Herein, low temperature synthesis of 1T phase VSe single crystals with thickness ranging from 3 to 41 nm by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is reported. The VSe shows a decreasing phase transition temperature of the CDW when the thickness is decreased.

Multilayered PdSe/Perovskite Schottky Junction for Fast, Self-Powered, Polarization-Sensitive, Broadband Photodetectors, and Image Sensor Application.

Group-10 transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with distinct optical and tunable electrical properties have exhibited great potential for various optoelectronic applications. Herein, a self-powered photodetector is developed with broadband response ranging from deep ultraviolet to near-infrared by combining FA Cs PbI perovskite with PdSe layer, a newly discovered TMDs material. Optoelectronic characterization reveals that the as-assembled PdSe/perovskite Schottky junction is sensitive to light illumination ranging from 200 to 1550 nm, with the highest sensitivity centered at ≈800 nm.
