Magnetic susceptibility measurements on conducting polyaniline and polypyrrole nanostructures with different dopant type and doping level as functions of temperature and magnetic field are reported. The susceptibility data cannot be simply described as Curie-like susceptibility at lower temperatures and temperature-independent Pauli-like susceptibility at higher temperatures; some unusual transitions are observed in the temperature dependence of susceptibility, for example, paramagnetic susceptibility decreases gradually with lowering temperature, which suggests the coexistence of polarons and spinless bipolarons and possible formation of bipolarons with changing temperature or doping level. In particular, it is found that the direct current magnetic susceptibilities are strongly dependent on applied magnetic field, dopant type, and doping level.

In this study, we explore the photovoltaic performance of an innovative high efficiency heterostructure utilizing the quaternary semiconductor CuFeSnSe (CFTSe). This material features a kesterite symmetrical structure and is distinguished by its non-toxic nature and abundant presence in the earth's crust. Utilizing the SCAPS simulator, we explore various electrical specifications such as short circuit current (J), open circuit voltage (V), the fill factor (FF), and power conversion efficiency (PCE) were explored at a large range of thicknesses, and the acceptor carrier concentration doping (N).

Despite the potential of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) in treating malignant tumors, the lack of effective sonosensitizers has limited its clinical implementation. In this study, we explored the relationship between the heteroatom doping concentration in metal-organic frameworks and interface formation after pyrolysis by regulating the addition of manganese sources and successfully derived Z-scheme heterojunctions MnO/(A/R)TiO (MTO) in situ from MIL-125-NH (Ti/Mn). The electron transfer pathway introduced by interfacial contact promoted carrier separation and greatly preserved the effective redox components, significantly influencing the performance of reactive oxygen species generation.

We present a strategy for enhancing Li conduction in block copolymer electrolytes by introducing trace amounts of Li salts into polystyrene--poly(ethylene oxide) (PS--PEO), wherein Li ions preferentially coordinate with the -OH end groups of the PEO chains, resulting in the formation of double primitive cubic (3̅) structures. Compared with TFSI anions in Li salts, smaller anions (PF and BF) could facilitate ion localization more effectively, expanding the salt concentration range for developing stable 3̅ structures. The 3̅ structures formed in PS--PEOs doped with LiBF at = 0.

Incorporating non-electrochemically active elements (such as Zn and Mg) into the framework of active components can enhance structural stability, leading to improved cycling performance. However, limited research has been conducted on the impact of varying doping concentrations. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of how different levels of Mg doping in Co(OH) affect the supercapacitor performance.
