Submicrosized alloy cables of ZnO/w-ZnS(1-x)Se(x) (0 < x < 1) and ZnO/s-ZnSe(1-x)Te(x) (0.8 < or = x < 1) have been prepared. The lattice parameters of the sheath show linear compositional dependence following Vegard's law. The composition-band gap dependence follows the trend of E(g)(ZnO/w-ZnS(1-x)Se(x))(x) = 3.60 - 1.77x + 0.87x(2) (0.22 < or = x < or = 1), E(g)(ZnO/w-ZnS(1-x)Se(x)) = 3.25 eV (0 < or = x < or = 0.22), and E(g)(ZnO/s-ZnSe(1-x)Te(x))(x) = 2.65 - 1.82x + 1.41x(2) (0 < or = x < or = 1), respectively. The continuous band-gap modulations on ZnO-based heterostructures are associated with the core/sheath morphology and the nature of the sheath alloys.

The trace detection of pyocyanin (PCN) is crucial for infection control, and electrochemical sensing technology holds strong potential for application in this field. A pivotal challenge in utilizing carbon materials within electrochemical sensors lies in constructing carbon-based films with robust adhesion. To address this issue, a novel composite hydrogel consisting of multi-walled carbon nanotubes/polyvinyl alcohol/phosphotungstic acid (MWCNTs/PVA/PTA) was proposed in this study, resulting in the preparation of a highly sensitive and stable PCN electrochemical sensor.

Machine learning has advanced the rapid prediction of inorganic materials properties, yet data scarcity for specific properties and capturing thermodynamic stability remains challenging. We propose a framework utilizing a Graph Neural Network with composition-based and crystal structure-based architectures, combined with a transfer learning scheme. This approach accurately predicts energy-related properties (e.

With the continuous development of digital information and big data technologies, the ambient temperature and heat generation during the operation of magnetic storage devices play an increasingly crucial role in ensuring data security and device stability. In this study, we conducted a thorough investigation on in-plane lattice thermal conductivity of the van der Waals (vdWs) magnetic semiconductor CrSBr from bulk to monolayer using first-principles calculations and phonon Boltzmann transport equation. Our findings indicated that CrSBr show strong anisotropic thermal transport behaviors and layer number and magnetic ordering dependent lattice thermal conductivity.

Achieving deep-blue light with high color saturation remains a critical challenge in the development of white light-emitting diode (LED) technology, necessitating luminescent materials that excel in efficiency, low toxicity, and stability. Here, we report the synthesis of [N(CH)]CuI (TEACuI) single crystals (SCs), which exhibit deep-blue photoluminescence (PL) at 450 nm. These crystals are characterized by a significant Stokes shift of 180 nm, a long lifetime of 1.
